"Hipster" as pejorative.

i.e. the blogger

I feel like hipsters are so easy to make fun of and yet I haven't once seen it done well.

Someone has linked this by now, right?

HAHAHAHAHA HIPSTERS

Guess, since people will apparently link to anything that has the word "hipster" in it, maybe you can help me make this a meme

xp yes that's exactly what I was referring to. Like, this could actually be really funny if you had half a brain and didn't shoot for the most obvious/lowest common denominator

lol@ hipster puppies but like all of you including me get what ur asking 4 when u open this thread tbh

I wonder if there's a corelation between what "level" of hipster one is in the soon-to-be-developed hipster rating system and when you were alerted to the existence of the unhappyhipsters site.

the only thing interesting to me about hipster bashing is that it appears to only recently have become mainstream. like, hipsters were bashing hipsters before hipster bashing was cool. but like actually that is the case.

i have heard benighted med school dorks wearing khakis zinging each other for hipsterdom because say someone wore a bright purple retro nike vest, or had an earnestly held opinion about an "indie" band. and there is often something smug about the delivery that would suggest that the person feels like they are on the cutting edge of takedowns, that there is just no way that anyone would have seen it coming

I think it's interesting how the definition varies, how it's one of those things that the consensus is generally, "I know one when I see one," but is it really? The fact it's so arbitrary is what interests me. The points of agreement and disagreement as to what/who constitutes a "hipster" - there being different levels of hipsterdom - Whiney's idea - I think is interesting.

Psh my dad's been making hipster zings at me for years now. Am like so over it.

You can call someone with a beard and a flannel shirt and an Out Hud 7" a hipster, and you can call a weirdly-haircut head-to-toe tacky/flashy/neon/Urban/AA Misshapes dude who doesn't even know who Out Hud is a hipster, and the two probably would hate each other and have little in common at all.

xp stevie otm

well it's also kinda how i reflexively think about it anyway. again, classmates seem to think i'm a despicable hipster because i own a track bike and played in a band once and am "into" music or w/e, but my immediate reaction is like "jesus i've got nothing on, like, this guy Coyote who has a different pair of glasses every day and is a DJ and parties in brazil and wears neon all the time"

well yeah there's different kinds and they mostly all suck

Teen1: Oh, here comes that cannonball guy. He's cool.
Teen2: Are you being sarcastic, dude?
Teen1: I don't even know anymore.

Oh so you're the guy behind ShitMyDadSays

what strikes me the most is this myth of hipster attitudes. Most everyone thinks they're these lame ass pretentious trust fundies, and while some of them are, a great majority of them are NOT, and yet everyone pretends they're not a hipster because they don't want people to think they're one.

It's this really bizarre phenomenon of what everyone holds as a definition vs. what the definition actually is being different things.

xp i wish

the word ("hipsters") sounds so antiquated, so 60-ish. there has to be a better word.

hot chipsters

The word hipster has been thrown around so vaguely for so long it just sorta became this meaningless phonetic blob to me, and whenever it pops up it's treated like this king of ba-zings and everyone is so invested in or bothered by it, and I'm over here like you ppl are all fuckin wierd.

king of ba-zings

what does this mean?

i'm not bothered by what it represents. i just think there could be better words for it.

yes, like hot chipsters.

It is a supreme zing, the trump card of zings if you will, xposts to sarahel

that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger "iirc"

"look at this fucking hipster" = pics of people at theme fancy dress parties + caption insinuating they might be, idk, gay or something.

how did u figure it out

That the flannel thing has been pointed out as a signifier by mainstream media over the last year is really funny cos I remember seeing form-fitting flannel on lots of vegan/hardcore scenesters, and that was more than 10 years ago.

you must be really hip

I was ten years ago!

Hi I'm a hipster.

nice sunglasses

I don't wear sunglasses, but I have a beard, a cat and I smell bad.
