I understand hipsters are into ironing.

Are you into ironing? If so, then you're a hipster.

To go hand in hand with your Raw Story story -

National Review declares war against the nerds

All in good fun - of course :-)

Funny - there's conservative men now with long hair. Was a time in this country when a guy with long hair attracted the wrong kind of attention - and a lot of times got the crap kicked out of him

Beatniks from the beat generation - hippies became fashionable...the left always starting things that get bought up hook line and sinker - by kids and then people with money

Just like every single down and out warehouse district where the artists move in - then have to leave because they can no longer afford the rent. It all gets bought up and turned all shiny - resold as a more marketable version of it's former self

I think people that fear change are always fascinated by the very changes they fear

Young people glom right on to change - no hesitation whatsoever

Well, all I know is....

All those against labels have labeled me a "people like you" and let me take this opportunity to thank you!

Let me leave this thread with this...

"Judge not lest ye be judged" Matthew 7 1-13

Hipsters and coffee.....

So is that business in the front and pot-head in the back?

Oooo, are you a Pharisee?

I'd say this fits my household best.



I do actually have a copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special. I also have a copy of the mock MST3K treatment of Star Trek 5. I also won a Monty Python Holy Grail quote contest in college because I was the only woman and the only one who kept going through the Castle Anthrax scene.

So METRO s means effeminate boys,PROG s are an attempt to alter culture to a false polite speak can be likened to personal social political indoctrination. As close as I can tellHOPLIPHOBIA is a cornerstone as is the DELETION or ignorance of history and logic.It is EASILY recognized as they did that to ME vis-a-vi the the COMMIE thing.
YOU can't tell because YOU are subject to it and won't look beyond it until you walk off of a cliff at the cost of the REPUBLIC. That is why we will not allow this to continue outside of your currently occupied areas where progressive policies are wrecking the area with GREAT precision.I'm sure THEY will figure it out.
BOTH parties are non functional as is the constant influence of corruption neither of us want to see. THERE is no delineation between the big two now IT'S TIME to register as a independent voter and drop the pretense.

OH Boy, Looks at husbands beard, fedora and tortise shell glasses…..

A better way to evaluate one's hipster status is to look at their musical habits.

Does he listen to nothing but obscure bands that you've never heard of, and if he hears a song by his favourite band on the local 15 watt AM college rock station that only he and two other people listen to, does he declare "their best days are behind them" and then scurry off to pitchfork or stereogum to find a new favourite band?

If that sounds familiar, you've definitely a hipster on your hands.

I've been meaning to get this sound file onto youtube for a while, this thread gave me the excuse I needed.

Tom Scharpling of The Best Show on WFMU pitches a new film project, "The Invisible Hipster". (Significantly less funny if you don't know what a hipster is.)

Hipsters are uninteresting, shallow posers pretending to be the opposite. Has nothing to do with politics. They're just crappy people. They bring on the bashing themselves.

Alanis Morissette completely overused, misused, and misunderstood the word "ironic" almost twenty years ago.

Come on... misidentified irony is so OVER.



My favorite hipster mocking comes from the show Portlandia. They nailed it.

I'm not a hipster. I haven't had mine replaced yet.

My definition of a hipster. . .

Non-Hipster = "How can I help you?"

Hipster = "Get off my lawn!" (while shaking a fist and my cane)

G,day mate
good retort, still smiling
way back in the 50's/60's there was a tv show called
77 SUNSET STRIP
click fingers twice and smile.
the shows song mentioned hipsters and i had and still have no idea what a hipster is
but my guess would be someone who thinks their a tad better than those they encounter
if this is the case one needs to make them aware that they need to
take care of that stiff neck
ps did you get my u2u

I only listen to folks like Buddy Holly, MIchael Jackson, and John Lennon. Im so hipster, all my music is underground.

I didn't know much about hipsters until I started doing weekly visits to Austin. They are touted as being "unusual", but in Austin being a hipster was completely usual. Yoga pants, turgle necks with scarves, and horn rimmed glasses. At least, for the ladies. The guys all wore brown cordeuroy pants, big saggy beanies, and black t-shirts with nonsensical, er...i mean ironic sayings on it. I have no idea how one can wear a turtle neck in austin during the summer.

funny thread Olaru. The thing I hate about hipsters is that they made skinny jeans popular....without reading the directions first.

What is it with this incessant need to categorize others and self-categorize?

Puzzling.
