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?

Without even knowing who they are, all i have to say is:
-"Wait a minute.....who is that Frazz is talking to in the gallery? Hmmm something is going on here.....Oh.... it seems there is some dispute over video taping of some sort......Frazz is really upset now..........wait a minute......whats he go there.......is it? Can it be?....Frazz has just unleashed his hidden weiner dog from his mini bag, while quoting shakespeares "Let slip the dogs the war!!" GG
-"Don't mind Frazzled. He's just Dakka's crazy old dude locked in the attic. He's harmless. Mostly."

If they want to wear whatever they want and think they're superior to me, they can go ahead.
But the second they try to tell me that, it's on.
There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.
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.

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.

Usually you need to be skinny to look good in tight pants.

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.
The old meta is dead and the new meta struggles to be born. Now is the time of munchkins.

No its just makes you look like a skinny geek in tight pants.
Protip stay away from younger versions of me. We sense weakness and just want to break you if you're a skinny kid in tight pants.

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.
It does. Very accurately. It's almost like it was written by one... Hmmmmmm...
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

As varied as the definition of 'hipster' can be I've never heard of one of the qualities being looking good. Being pompous about clothing i.e. "These are custom glass frames. I'd tell you the name of the designer but you've never heard of them. They are underground", but never that they look good. Many, many non-hipsters look good.

LOL, you haveto realize that hipsters DO think they look good and trendy, which is ironic (another pasttime of hipsters) because their ultimate goal is to (as you have pointed out) be unique and non-mainstream.
why are we talking about hipsters? Their like bees, don't bother them and they wont bother you...theirs no reason to hate on the latest "trend"
