Why do so many people have negative views towards Hipsters I think they seem OK to me. It's not like they're forcing you into cult and most of the qualities associated with them are benign. In fact I have a

few of the Hipster qualities myself (although I never would consider myself one) I wear tight pants (I have the legs for it), wear shirts with pop-cultural references (I find a lot of them look visually interesting to

me), I sometimes buy clothing secondhand (I'm cheap) and I listen to obscure bands (I listen to well-known ones as well I don't consider popularity of a band a measure of quality). What are your thoughts on

Hipsters?

I must edit my comment. The next door kid fits this outfit I think (checked on google images). We always thought he was the cutest little Japanese girl you'd ever meet, until he knocked up his erstwhile girlfriend. This was a distinct surprise as we thought he was playing for the other team.

All his friends dress like badly dressed Japanese girls too. Mostly harmless ( I literally threw a bunch of them out of his mom's garage a few years ago one night thinking they were hooligans, little did I know they were just losers), but a case in point for my "are modern men becoming losers" thread.

I'll end with:

I have some of the hipster qualities myself (I like to look good, and i actually can pull it off unlike most of them (because I dont try dressing like a woman)... and I occasionally wear scarves, yeah... I wear scarves, they look good and they keep me warm when my patriotism and zeal just isn't enough to keep me going, got a problem with it? but by absolutely no circumstances will I wear tight pants or come off as 'playing for the other team' as Frazzled put it), but I don't actually like hipsters snobby feths that drink gakky beer is what they are.

Though, if I may make a suggestion, you need to add a poll option, something to the effect of: "Hipster girls are HAWT!!!1!1!one" should suffice.

Meh.

I've gotten too old to care one way or the other about the latest trends. And, I'm not old enough to find pop culture frightening.

So, I really don't care one way or the other about Hipsters, or Goths, or Emos, or anything else you kids are doing these days.

Tight pants never look good on guys. I worked at a home depot some time ago with a rough around the edges freight crew. One of my friends decided to switch to tight jeans, and they tore into him about it. A couple weeks later he switched to baggy jeans, lol.

Yeahhhhh I've seen nothing but skinny people attempt it. Emphasis on attempt. Afraid to say that I don't share your views on them. They will NEVER look good on guys to me.

I dislike people who think they're superior to me according to an arbitrary set of values (in this case, fashion sense or whatever) but at least they're relatively benign about it.

I also find it hilarious that they're supposedly highly individualistic yet you can identify them from 200 yards.

Then again, last week I saw a hipster chick use a small plastic bucket for a purse. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever witnessed and I admire her utterly.

Yep, im rather indifferent to hipsters as they are generally nice and sure doesn't bother anyone.

But some of their fashion sense are abit off. See, different body proportion and different looks needs different type of fashion attire.
Yet they all just follow a same general lay out which i can say at least half of them looks really really out of place.

Bluntly said, its like someone with no sense of smell rubbing poop all over in place of perfume.

Plus at my school they think they are being hipsters. Funny thing is they are all a bunch of freaks. (no joke.)
In that they are willing enough to believe in that I am bad person for believing it is better to show mercy to someone by killing them if they commited a crime vs them who believe killing a baby that has a disease is better. what has our world become?

I guess not

and what classifies as "dressing like you have a job?"

some jobs are more...paper hats and bad face acne...I.E fastfood

others tend to be more suit and tie,

and others are just jeans and a t shirt........

Dressing like you have a job means not wearing an armful of whatever you might have happened to haphazardly snag for $25 from Goodwill.

Which is not me hating on Goodwill or the people who shop there. The problem comes when you wear everything all at once:



This is what I'm talking about. What looks like a flannel shirt, a suit vest, a bandana, and some manner of cloth beanie type thing. I'm not even hip enough to know what you call one of those. Combine that with probably what is likely either girl's jeans or tight black/plaid dress pants and either yacht shoes or Doc Martens or something. I mean, I'm no fashionista, but Jesus.

Also note the PBR can was probably free. I doubt he drank it; he probably found it on the side of the road and thought running around with it was 'ironic'.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating Goodwill. That's where I got the ill-fitting suit I used to get my first real job. I'm just saying that they look like they briskly walked through there, grabbed one of everything, and then put it all on at once.

Thing is, just wearing skinny jeans and t shirts with pop culture references doesn't make you a hipster, else every other geek would be a hipster by mistake. It's when you pick just the right pop culture reference in order to fit in with the hipster scene that you're a hipster.

In the same way, liking obscure bands doesn't make you a hipster, sooner or later everyone stumbles onto a band that they just love that no-one else seems to get. It's when you go and search out obscure, and then take a huge amount of pride in loving a band that no-one else has heard of that you're being a hipster.

If you have a bike with a fixed chain, it doesn't make you a hipster. I've got a mate who happened to stumble onto a fixie, and he loves it because it's utterly munted, completely impossible to steer, so the fun is to ride it around as fast as possible until you hit something really hard. That doesn't make him a hipster. He'd be a hipster if he saw that all the other hipster were picking up fixies

That's the thing, you aren't a hipster just because you happen to like a couple of things that are part of the scene. You're a hipster when you embrace all the trappings of that scene, because you've got little self identity that you want to become part of a 'scene'. It's the same kind of lame when the emos did it, or when the goths did it before them.

And whoever does it, it's really lame.

That was well done sir!

Living in the CA capital we have our own flavor of hipster. Mostly it involves drinking copious amounts of Pabst Blu Ribbon on the front patio of the local deli.
Which is awesome.
I made the move to skinny jeans a couple of years ago and haven't felt this comfortable in my own clothes ever.

Wha? First off, I used to live in Illinois. The city, Peoria, in Illinois, is the home of PBR. I was drinking it before it was hip, and I mean that in the most literal way possible. It tasted like piss then. I actually hated beer for want of stuff like PBR until I fell in line with people who taught me how to find the good beer. Why do you like it? WHY?

Also, how on earth do you feel comfortable in skinny jeans? I hate clothes touching me. I love shorts and would walk around in a kilt 24/7 if I could. I'm actually wearing an older pair of jeans from back when I drank less of that good beer I mentioned earlier right now, and they're absolutely uncomfortable.

It beats feeling someone else's hand on your rear... stupid high school gym class.

Anyways, hipsters are just like the emo kids, scene kids, goth kids, etc... they want to be different by dressing like someone else. Do have to give juggalos credit though, they actually like that stuff they listen to and admit to being a group of people compared to hipsters who think that they're just a bunch of individuals.

Can't really explain it. I know it's not great beer, but it's the greatest cheap beer You can't beat $2 drafts.

To each there own I was one of those jack-asses in baggy jeans all through highschool, and I looked like a clown constantly having to pull my pants up.
Granted, I don't wear the Vince Noir variety of drain pipes, but I do wear my jeans much tighter and fitting. I'm skinny to begin with, but I noticed that baggy jeans just made me look skinnier, but slim jeans complimented me. Plus make my ass look good. And the ladies like it. Booyah.

PBR is an excellent choice if your goal is to get blitzed because its light, doesn't have a strong flavor, and is very cheap.

If you want to get Blitzed, may I suggest whiskey (neat or on the rocks, no mixers). It gets the job done, tastes good, and doesn't require constant trips to the bathroom.

Well, if you don't like beer there isn't much to recommend. Haha. What kind of wine are you into?

Stone Brewery makes some very good stuff, and they are getting bigger all the time. They have a beer called "Sublimely Self-Righteous" that will blow your damn mind. Sam Adams makes a few pretty good beers as well, but stay away from anything you don't recognize that you find in a sampler pack. I also hear a lot of good things about Yeungling, though I've never had it myself.

I'm also going to out myself here and say that I drink a fair amount of Miller Lite if I want to drink some beer and keep it cheap.

You may be a fan of the Dead...granted, but " Deadheads" were ( more or less) the " tittle" bestowed upon those who traveled around from place to place sort of " following" the band as they toured...


But is he a Led-Head?

This, in all weathers. Have seen girls in white stilettos and dressed as above with snow on the ground and a blizzard blowing. Purple blotchy legs are not very becoming lass, at least put some tights on!

Its all really in the timing. Beer has the advantage of not requiring mixing (and when you mix drinks, the proper ratio generally creates a beverage as fluid intense as beer), being of low enough ABV to stretch your imbibing experience over a longer period of time, and largely prevents you from drinking more than you intend to (it gets really easy to over-pour later in the day/night).

Getting wasted is a science not to be underestimated.

That's why you drink an ice-cold screwdriver instead.
