The American Apparel V-neck shirt, Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and Parliament cigarettes are symbols and icons of working or revolutionary classes that have been appropriated by hipsterdom and drained of meaning.
"I'm going back to the bar, do you want anything?" "Yeah, get me another PBR, I've almost drained this one of all its meaning."

american apparel v-necks are symbols of the 'revolutionary class'?

working or revolutionary classes that's a damn big OR there

actually, i totally know people who complain about "hipsters", but i think they are just being lazy in how they encounter and conceptualize other people

I thought V-necks were symbols of not wanting your undershirt to show.
― Oilyrags, Thursday, 31 July 2008 20:14 (fifteen years ago) link
you'd think a shirt made by a company that uses sweatshops would have more working class cache than an AA shirt

i went to a party with a friend of mine once and as soon as we entered this one girl who lived there squealed at him, "a hipster!" and just physically dragged him off to her bedroom for an hour.

Oh I'm totally lazy. It just seems like a...boring kind of thing that's been done to death, maybe? I mean I guess apart from maybe an eye-roll at the Pratt brats across the bar or something.

i think people just like to project douchebaggery onto others and "hipsters" are the easiest target nowadays, like "yuppies" were in the '80s.

Yes, I'm behind the times, I just saw that kickball is a weekly thing at McCarren Pool apparently?

xposts yeah, don't get me wrong, i write off people all the time in lazy, prejudicial ways. i guess everybody does.
but i don't get all irate about people who (gasp) own fixed-gear bikes. i can think of, like, a million things that are actually worth getting upset over
― dell, Thursday, 31 July 2008 20:19 (fifteen years ago) link
I guess its because most people have been priced away from the yuppie-classics (eg gabbneb) so they only see hipstre yuppies in their social circles / drinking haunts.
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Thursday, 31 July 2008 20:20 (fifteen years ago) link
My problems with fixed gear riders are practical not ideological. Stop riding two abreast on bike paths!

The latency period is typified by a solidifying of the habits that the child developed in the earlier stages. Whether the Oedipal conflict is successfully resolved or not, the drives of the id are not accessible to the ego during this stage of development, since they have been repressed during the phallic stage. Hence the drives are seen as dormant and hidden (latent), and the gratification the child receives is not as immediate as it was during the three previous stages. Now pleasure is mostly related to secondary process thinking. Drive energy is redirected to new activities, mainly related to schooling, hobbies and friends. Problems however might occur during this stage, and this is attributed to inadequate repression of the Oedipal conflict, or to the inability of the ego to redirect the drive energy to activities accepted by the social environment.

I think the same way the goalposts of what defines a "nerd" or "geek" had to be moved once spending all your time online kind of became the norm, at some point the whole "hipster" thing became these weird defanged accusations. OMG YOU'RE WEARING...A SHIRT! YOU'VE HEARD OF...A BAND! YOU'RE HANGING OUT IN......A BAR! FUCKIN' HIPSTER!

just dont go too far in the other direction, i mean
I am just pissed that my definition of hipster as a self-identifying term (i.e., that people who use the term are doing so to self-identify as hipsters) never caught on
nb this may be because it was wrong

do we even need some snappy term term for people who listen to shitty music and find humor in played out irony, though? just call people out for who they are in specifics.
― some dude, Thursday, 31 July 2008 20:34 (fifteen years ago) link
the term is "ilxors" I think

i got no problem with a stache as long as you're committed to it for life once you grow it, like wilford brimley or burt reynolds or rollie fingers.
