Gender reveals are inherently kind of miserable. Not for the couple themselves – it’s life-altering news that should be cherished and celebrated. But to everyone else, it’s the type of thing that welcomes eye rolls and sighs followed by, “Well, at least I can get drunk for free at the party.”
This couple, however, skipped their party and went straight into the woods to reveal the gender of their child. Trevor and Tayler Hager decided to cut down a tree (an already dead tree, they assured everyone in the comments) that was seemingly filled with paint. I don’t know how you fill a dead tree with paint, but I also don’t know how one goes about curling the ends of their mustache so I’m just going to assume there’s some sort of underground community where they discuss these things.
Here, see for yourself.
Dare I say that this is kind of… awesome? Don’t get me wrong, the stereotypes are there. The beard, the chainsaw, the woods, the plaid. These are staples in the hipster community.
But as far as gender reveals go, I actually commend these two for going out of their way to do something different than watching balloons float out of a box while distant relatives pretend to care. As long as I don’t have to spend money on an Uber to and from a party where I have to awkwardly make conversation with someone’s aunt for 45 minutes, I’m all about gender reveals. Watching a minute-long video on the internet where I get to watch a tree hit the deck in the middle of the woods? Sign. me. up.
In a wild turn of events, I commend these two. Thanks, guys. Just don’t name your kid something typical like Atticus or Otto. Then I might have to take everything back and make fun of you for being a stereotype. .

The joke will be on these hipsters when that baby grows up and realized that gender is fluid. Or so I’m told.
“We chose black balloons. Why? Because the color black absorbs all light, much like our child will absorb the many different genders. Who are we to tell our baby which gender it is?”
“May your gender be as fluid as the beer as of a thousand microbreweries.”
Thought you might pull a nived there and say something about how the black represents the meaningless of life or such
Real hipsters wouldn’t cut down a tree, dead or not.
Great. Now you and your saw are covered in paint and you just fell that tree in the stupidest and unsafe way possible.

seriously though. dude clearly doesn’t know how to properly fell a tree
Watch them announce a tree themed baby name: Aspen, Hemlock, Elm…
My vote is for Dogwood
Mine’s for Christmas
If it wouldve been a girl I could see Maple working…
For the boy gotta go Redwood.
Kind of surprised/disappointed that they didn’t use an old timey hand saw, because THAT’S THE AUTHENTIC WAY.
Or an axe, then proceed to shave his beard with it afterword.
Too bad the tree didn’t fall on him.
“Then I might have to take everything back and make fun of you for being a stereotype.”
Hi pot, meet kettle.
Gender reveals are asinine, but I respect that this hipster actually knew how to use a chainsaw.
I’m pretty confident that is the first time he ever picked it up.
There is a 10/10 chance he’s been practicing that drop start all week.
Right?! I don’t care about 99% of babies flooding my Facebook that are already born, I sure as shit don’t care what gentalia the unborn embryos have.
I was hoping for some sort of dark magic trick where he takes the saw to his lady and actually pulls a baby out. But everyone is ok cause it was a magic trick.
Possible hot take. If he was fat, would you still call him a hipster? Yeah, the suspenders and hat aren’t helping him, but this video doesn’t immediately scream hipster to me. Its not like he’s wearing thick framed glasses, or that his mustache is groomed in a weird way. She seems pretty normal to me too. Maybe just a guy who makes a living (or has a side business) selling firewood or making furniture?
I can assure you that weight has absolutely nothing to do with this.
Even so. Definitely not the most hipster looking person/couple ever. If they/he is hipster, there are worse people out there.
Yeah, I’ve seen worse hipsters before. They seem borderline normal.
First and last time he picks up a chainsaw
