You know what else annoys me at the moment? Dubstep.

It is one of those things that I'm pretty sure everyone I know only listens to because everyone else listens to it.

From my own observations of Hipsters.

Motivation: Irony
Result: Misappropriation of the word.
Conslusion: Ironic

Was that a Simpsons reference? Or am I just going mad?

**Infreak**

It most certainly was a Simpsons reference.

Also dubstep is just a slower version of DnB. Its eh.

**Corpsesarefun**

Yeah a few years back everyone who was anyone loved DnB and listened to that, now it is Dubstep.

I have no problem with the music or people that genuinely like it but it seems that the vast majority of listeners only do it because it is cool.

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

I prefer Rubba-dub-dubstep, but it can be tricky finding a like minded butcher and baker who are willing to join you in a tub

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.

If it helps, just imagine Lint looks like this:

**Melissia**

Jean fabric is almost universally uncomfortable for me as well, even the softer higher quality jean fabric. Cotton or silk is much better against the skin...

**Avatar 720**

I love the feel of jeans, or at least my own jeans.

I've never felt anyone elses jeans against my leg.

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.

halonachos wrote:Do have to give juggalos credit though

Nope. I remain remarkably judgmental about that entire subset of culture.

**halonachos**

Oh I hate them too, but I respect the fact that they admit to conforming to a group of people.

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.

All this, plus the fact it's the best tasting cheap beer out there.

Edit - Stag is a close second though

**Frazzled**

Shiner bock is better. Pabst is just this side of horse pee.

**Monster Rain**

Yeah, I hate Pabst. Always have.

As a general rule, I don't drink beer I can see through. IPA and a good lager are some notable exceptions.

A good hefeweisen is, well good, particularly in the summer.

**Monster Rain**

I'm not crazy about hefeweisen. At least not the ones I get in the States.

**Ahtman**

I don't think I've ever tasted a domestic beer I liked; a few German ones, but that is about it. I'm a wine person though, so what do you expect?

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.

**Lint**

Yeah but "ice cold whiskey" doesn't sound apealing on a hot summer day...

**Corpsesarefun**

Does to me.

**daedalus**

Yeah, if my point is to not remember things in the morning, then it's shots of Jameson (or Bushmills) followed up with a dark beer. Repeat. That way I get the job done and my eyeballs aren't floating 6 beers later.

Actually, I'd take one.

All this talk of beer and whiskey when we all know what the official drink of Dakka is:

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.

Did for me, and that became an increasingly challenging task as the toilets in that pub were down two flights of stairs into a basement.

I think by the end of it I was just half rolling down.

Hell yeah.

And you don't drink it cold, for the love of Pete!

What did Clint Eastwood order when he walked into the saloon after riding across the burning desert and eating beef jerky for God knows how long? Water? Hell no.

**Lint**

Ooh yeah...
