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

after the nightmares I got from that indie girl comedy mustache thread i have no problem with any mustache as long as it's worn by a man
― some dude, Thursday, 31 July 2008 20:36 (fifteen years ago) link
no am0n I don't actually give a shit it's just kinda the actual objections to buy nothing day are all pretty valid without lying about it for lulz

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.

see am0n doesn't that strike you as being more about the benefits to the person who buys nothing, not the posited harm to the corporations? seems kinda painfully obvious to me
i went to a "moustache party" last month. seriously.
i knew no one going in except the person i went with. it was some guy's birthday party, and that was the theme he chose. i had some nice conversations with people there and drank some free-for-all beer that their fridge was stocked with. some band played. someone spilled a box of red wine all over the kitchen floor. there was dancing. it was fun.

I used to read it several years back. I thought it was worthwhile at the time...not sure what the hell this article is supposed to be saying, though.
― dell, Thursday, 31 July 2008 21:24 (fifteen years ago) link
it's not a terrible magazine and it makes some good points here and there but i don't really read it because most of its good points are also pretty obvious.

the only issue I ever purchased was all about the evils of psychiatric drugs (except for like two paragraphs from Douglas Coupland pointing out that once upon a time, we just locked people up rather than treat them). That was plenty for me.
― milo z, Thursday, 31 July 2008 21:38 (fifteen years ago) link
the reason i asked was because i was curious as to who the writer of the piece was trying to direct "the message " to ? if it is directed at "hipsters" or whatever, kinda just seems like lame oneupmanship and playing exactly right into the kind of attitude he is attempting to excoriate.
― oscar, Thursday, 31 July 2008 21:45 (fifteen years ago) link
i had to get up and get a drink after reading two of the quotes from that article; don't think i could read more. wow.

Great article.
― sleep, Thursday, 31 July 2008 21:58 (fifteen years ago) link
i looked at the first few paragraphs and i'm still sentient. almost.
it reminds me of a girl named jessica i knew in high school. she was fond of making sweeping, unsustainable generalizations about the zeitgeist, à la "the whole culture is just slipping into darkness" or "people don't even know how to be happy anymore."
― amateurist, Thursday, 31 July 2008 21:59 (fifteen years ago) link
WTF at that article...
There will always be people who listen to certain bands/go to particular bars/wear certain clothes, not because they want to, but because they are trying to impress other people with how "cool" they are. Fuck them.
