kinda feel deeply annoyed that those hyundai ppl are so blithely getting tagged as 'hipsters' [via wearing clothes] when they p clearly arent
current studies lack any real rigour imo discipline is dead scene

Reminds me a lot of the way "alternative" briefly described a sort of college rock/original lollapalooza vibe and then wound up meaning "rock", and how people continued to complain loudly about how alternative didn't mean anything anymore even though the term continued to wander around for years like a zombie.

kinda reminds me how language/ideas are constantly shifting and recontextualizing throughout history

Or, you know, "folk" came to mean light music with acoustic guitars, "psychedelic" came to mean anything with a fuzz pedal, etc.

To be frank about it, calling them hipsters is not totally inaccurate, but certainly they are involved in a far, far, far lower-level of hipster than someone drooling coke-bubbles in the bathroom at Whartscape

i mean, kids at the mall in Blink 182 t-shirts are still techically "punks" even if they're not wearing a 15-year-old Crass T-shirt next to a dog with one eye

really? i mean n/a is right in that words shift meaning over time & often these descriptors get more catholic as they become more widespread but u of all ppl shld want to retain some nuance or value in the term????
anyway 'yuppie' is a perfectly good word imo, ppl shld just use it instead

yuppie is also a word that lost a coherent meaning a long time ago, especially since you're using it to describe suburban people
― pomp la familia (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 4 January 2011 23:21 (thirteen years ago) link
well yeah obv. lamp, they're not "hipsters" in the 2004 sense of the word, but they are certaionly hipsters in the 2010 sense. Get with the times, bro

When I started law school in 2008 I noticed I was one of only a handful of remotely hipsterish looking people, and by most standards I'm not very hipsterish looking. By Fall 2010 a huge portion of the incoming class looked like hipsters to me. The age of the hipster lawyer is upon us.

lol markers is was half-thinking of that in my pointless defense of 2nd generation hipster:
All descriptions of hipsters are doomed to disappoint, because they will not be the hipsters you know. But to those of you who are reading this in 2050, I can only say: Everything in this book is true, and its impressions are perfect

OUIGI THEODORE, the founder of the Brooklyn Circus, a retro-urban fashion boutique and label, has heard it all before: dandy, preppy, Anglophile, fop. Still, he was flummoxed when a customer walked into his boutique a year ago, took one look at the bow ties and straw boaters for sale, and declared it the height of “steampunk.”
For some reason I imagine this being said by a victorian man -- "I declare this the very height of steampunk!"

Are hipsters the new yuppies? I hear nothing but kvetching about hipsters, but yet everyone kind of seems to want to be one.
― homosexual II, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:37 (thirteen years ago) link
I had an unironic tantrum about seeing some of my coworkers try and transform into hipsters over the past year. I think I said something to the effect of: "DAMNIT, I'VE BEEN A WEIRDO FREAK SINCE 1992 AND I'VE PAID MY DUES... " blah blah blah. I said this all to myself, but I was sincerely annoyed. I think I've moved on since then.

so steampunk is like having a curly moustache... then dyeing it purple?

― goole, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:56 (thirteen years ago) link
of course doing this made me an elitist or i guess a "hipster" in 1992?
and to be honest i probably had more sex then he did in high school. chicks be digging the long hair and lemonheads bro.
