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.

And w/o further ado:

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.

BTW:

Ah, so they are the uniform for this generation's trendy youth. Got it. Back in my day we had otter skins, and we were glad we had them.

I'm afraid that in my daily life my Arrogance quota is more than adequately filled by me, myself and I. Adding more to that creates unpleasant results. After past experiences, thoroughly tired of dealing with them.

One vote for hate. Would vote more than once, but the poll won't let me no matter how hard I click it.

...otter...skins...?????

Frazzled is quite old, millenia even.

And I'm not sure if I've ever met a hipster, or if I've met to many.

I'm far too trapped in the midwest to have ever actually met one of these things. GIS seems to show me people that look like they'd probably piss me off though. I've always been taught that you are supposed to dress like you have a job and that life doesn't have to be COMPLETELY ironic.


I guess I'm just no fun.

Being a hipster is too mainstream.
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? And my school is the most top notch, I fear the result...

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'.

all I can say is Hipsters try and be mainstream, but the thing is they are considered unmainstream for trying to be mainstream. failures.

Yeah, what is it with the Yacht shoes? I used to think only old men wore those, whilst sneering at peasants from their multi-million pound/dollar boats.

And the tight jeans, no man looks right in them.

This i can agree on. Except on girls they look great. And for multiple reasons.

I wear yacht shoes...

You frequently go boating, without the motor I assume (damned if I know).

You get a pass. This time.

Oh yeah? Well, I wore them back before it was cool to be uncool!

I still wear Chucks. They're kind of ironic I guess.

Like them? As a member of an obscure underground band I'm DEPENDING on them!

Hey, I guess I am a hipster. I like a band that no one's heard of!

I mean that with all possible respect and love, Alby.

If you are a male who wears tight jeans, I do not like you.

I don't care whatever you are called.

Meh, I'm actually GLAD that no-one has heard of my band - er, that is, unless and major label A+R men are reading this thread, in which case I am prepared to dance naked on TV for money or drugs.

chaos0xomega wrote: and I occasionally wear scarves, yeah... I wear scarves, they look good

No...no they don't.

Blah, I've encountered several hipsters, and I'm not the biggest fan (mainly due to their attitude). I just hate the fact that people call PBR hipster beer...it's one of my favorites

You won't be a hipster until they hit it big and you start complaining about you knew them before they went mainstream. Alby of course won't take notice as he will be to busy laughing and lighting cigars with pound notes at that point.

Pound notes?

Oh you yanks.

He got the currency right, be nice!

Or he could even be implying Albatross will be so rich, he wont care if it's a fiver, a tenner, a twenty or even a fifty!

now they are trying to be soooooooooo much more hipster since it is like a zombie invasion, at least here in Portland. Speaking of zombies, I was at a concert the other week and when I went out to smoke at least 100 hipster zombies were coming into the show, no kidding.


I may just live in the hipster capitol of the us. Portland sells more PBR than any other city in the US, and every damn person is riding a fixed gear bike. I want to go nuts some days. Go hunting flannel and Espree.

You couldn't light a cigar with a shilling, could you?

I'd tell you how I feel about hipsters but you've probably never felt that emotion

If you got two of them and rubbed them together you might manage to...

There are nice things to be found in Goodwill.

For every fifteen bandana collections and clashing scarves, there's a suit and matching long coat.
