wait so if hipsterism is a stream and this blog is the runoff of the stream, sort of the crystalization of hipsters, the silt of the hipsters is that right

in the bar i work at the other day this fairly normal looking guy wanted to watch the darts on television, a nearby group sneered "oh is this the new hipster new cross thing - watching darts ironically?" to peels of laughter. thing is they were playing fucking scrabble in the pub.

just as an FYI^^
yeah you could sorta see it as VERY hipster in the sense that it seems to be policing and deflating pretentions of hipsterism...thus critical reading for the evolution of hipsterism.

I also dispute the "he's a good writer" bit, that AC thing went on forever...and the irritating academic thesis tone is hard to take too.

lately i've appreciated the posts on how tv on the radio are not that good, also the indoor soccer shoes, i have a pair of those exact shoes in a box under my desk b/c keep meaning to exchange for the right size, but now i am not sure if they fit my personal brand

btw i cant believe this whole OMG IRONY meme is still going it even predates hipsters - people should just get over it - irony is just one of the beautiful rainbow ways of communicating
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 15 January 2009 15:12 (fifteen years ago) link
tho maybe in the 90s people were more concerned w/the ravages of sarcasm - which is in my understand sort of entry level irony

Yeah, I feel like when he took breaks from doing some of the grosser hounding of musicians his voice could work really well for a specific sort of at-large cultural criticism.
e.g. Urban Outfitters stock is in 'the shitter', CEO resigns. Are alt retailers dying?

There was a really good one or maybe series of ones referencing edison lightbulb, mason jars, exposed brick sort of aesthetic trend in coffeehouses, "gastropubs" that was really satisfying. He was good at that stuff I think.
