You know what I like, hate , am indifferent about ?, Standing in one herd and making funny comments about another herd..
..Honestly, every group of people can be ridiculed for on reason or another...from a gathering of " Hipsters" discussing bands no ones heard off...to a group of beer swilling suburbanites discussing football and lawn care...everyone can be poked fun at...and it's often BS generalizing.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Are you still obscure and underground? Annihilation came on on my iPod the other day and I was in heaven for about 5 minutes (the bass on my headphones is awesome).
No...no they don't.
Certainly not what the ladies have told me
But wearing a scarf outside of the late fall to early spring time bracket is right out, wanna choke those dumbasses that wear them in the middle of summer.
I just hate the fact that people call PBR hipster beer...it's one of my favorites
I'm sorry, did it hurt when the you lit your tongue on fire and burned all your tastebuds away?

No secret that many ladies prefer guys a little "metro". The average guy is a slobbering mess, so yeah a fancy boy with a scarf probably seems like a nice alternative.
I get it: i wore some pretty silly/awful stuff in high school/college for the same reason, but it doesnt make any of it any less silly...

Which is not me hating on Goodwill or the people who shop there. The problem comes when you wear everything all at once:
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.
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.
Are "Goodwill" charity shops?
I can never find anything to fit being a bit on the lankier side o.f average
Best I have managed is my jungle hat to keep the rain off.
At least no one can say my head is bigger than average
Albatross wrote: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.
I think most of us would do that, depending on how much money/drugs were involved....
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.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

OMIGOD THIS IS STUPID BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE IT
But is it hipster to hate people that hate hipsters? You hated hipsters before it was mainstream to hate hipsters?
It's that kind of thinking Ahtman that makes people hipsters...next thing you know you're mix-matching cloths you get from Grood-will and thinking you're better than everyone because "You know something they don't know"

Aww, thanks bro! I appreciate that. New stuff coming next week - it's looking like we might -might- be giving it away again...
I'm never going to afford a yacht at this rate. Guess I'll just have to settle for wearing the shoes...
Though some of their fashions are kinda stupid. Guys wearing womens' pants? Seriously? That just makes me want to bust some krav maga on their nuts.

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.
Indeed, on women.

Mead is probably why I'm married now. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Dunno, depends on just how tight the jeans are. Skin-tight jeans often look pretty bad on many women who just don't have the right figure to pull it off...
Meanwhile I don't think there is non pre-op man who has the figure to pull it off.

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.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation

Oh Hipsters, how indifferent I am. Like many sub-cultures through time this one just happens to be "it" right now. I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary.
From my own observations of Hipsters.
Motivation: Irony
Result: Misappropriation of the word.
Conslusion: Ironic
