ColdFireYYZ Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm having a bit of an identity crisis here. . . .I don't think I qualify as "hipster" (too old for one), but: - I hate most pop music. Not because it's cool to hate it, though. I hate it because it sucks.- I'm not a trend follower. Again, not out of any desire to be contrary; I just generally cannot be bothered. Celebrities and fashion and such just bore the shit out of me. I'm just generally ignorant of a lot of things pop culture. Like that picture someone posted above? Zooey what's-her-face? I've heard the name. I know she is famous. But without the picture I wouldn't have the faintest idea what she looks like, nor do I know WHY she is famous. Nor do I care. I mean, my mom was cooler when she was my age! Oh and goober - you can't ever qualify as a "hipster", because for one thing, you admit to liking "Twilight". I'm going to guess that's an automatic lifetime "no admittance" policy for the Hipster Clan. You're no hipster. Being a hipster is something you have to work very hard at.http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Hipster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hipsters do things "ironically". Drinking PBR is a perfect example of that.DAMN! Beat me to it. Drinking a certain brand of beer just to be ironic? Really? Hipsters are post-ironic. :) :laughing guy: Post-everything, as everything is so overdone.

Stormtron Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 the worst is when hipsters like something I like I've seen dinosaur jr twice, and for those who dont know they're a really loud fuzzy guitar rock band influenced mostly by punk rock, neil young and black sabbath, but for some reason a ton of hipsters have latched onto this band. so at their shows the crowd is split between hipsters who are too cool to move or even look like they're enjoying the music, and then long-haired hairy f*ckers who like to rock. They've latched on to some metal too. The last Mastodon show I went to I was by some dude with a twirled up mustache who was dressed like Popeye and his girlfriend Velma from Scooby-Doo. I don't care about the look.....it's actually kind of funny to me like they're wearing costumes, but their attitude at shows is shitty. They just stand around looking annoyed. Drink your PBR and have a good time, brozzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Someone that refers to himself as a hipster is more than likely a wanker. Someone that refers to someone else as a hipster is more than likely misguided. Someone that refers to himself as a hippie probably isn't one. Someone that is called a hippie may or may not be one at all...the scent of patchouli would be one deciding factor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Springfield was just taken over by the hipsters on The Simpsons last month... Homer becomes friends with a guy selling crazy donuts, convinces him to buy the house next door and he calls in all his hipster friends that they completely remake the city. Once Springfield is named "coolest city" they said "this place is played-out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think I'm somewhat of a hippie, but you wouldn't necessarily know it by looking at me. I don't wear pachouli (though I like the smell of it on the right person), but I have been known to wear essential oils like vanilla or my fave combination of sandalwood and amber, though I rarely remember to wear any of those.

rushgoober Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 I gotta say, the more I read about what a hipster is, the more ridiculous it sounds. I'm all for self-expression and whatever, but it just sounds so trendy and superficial, and more importantly, it doesn't sound like they have much fun.

I also note that it is very much a white people thing. The jazz community that hipster-ism is supposedly copying probably laughs its collective ass off at these dwinks.

Tombstone Mountain Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 two articles i've read now mention drinking pabst blue ribbon. funnily enough, i was walking in a local park yesterday and there were a bunch of people sitting on a blanket. one of them had an open 20 oz. bottle of pabst blue ribbon. my thought when i saw it was that it was a brand i haven't seen in probably a decade or two. maybe that guy was a hipster? in fact, there were a LOT of groups of young people (well, young to me - late 20's, early 30's i guess) hanging out together. maybe tons of them were hipsters, but honestly, i didn't pay that much attention to what they were all wearing. maybe now i will, and i'll see if i can identify them! apparently, however, that even though they strive to be part of this hipster subculture, they don't actually identify themselves as hipsters. odd. He was probably drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon because that's what he could afford, otherwise how could you drink it for taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
