Title: Hipsters....
Post by: The1BigWillie on October 08, 2012, 02:16:25 PM
I seem to be running into more and more of these "Hipster" folks.   :dubious: They really make me feel inferior. Am I falling into their trap or are they really just that awesome?  :confused:  :shakesfist: :dubious:

I have a love-hate relationship with hipsters. I generally hate about 85% of people most would consider "hipsters", but I love an awful lot about hipster culture. I could give two shits what they think about me, however, and will proudly rock my old navy and patagonia gear at any hipster establishment.*

*I am considered a hipster by most people that don't wallow in as much hipster filth as me.

What actually kept me from buying them is the jeans bleed on things even if you soak them right when you get them.  I'd hate to wear something that I'd have to worry about discoloring other clothes/upholstery.

In its most simplest terms, a hipster is an individual who wants to know things. Whether it’s knowing of a band before anyone else, or knowing about the conflict in Syria, the history of taxidermy or obscure words in 20th century Americana. A hipster is someone that’s eager to learn, to see—and yes—even to do. Being a hipster means you’re part of a subculture. As a demographic, hipsters try to set themselves apart from culture as a whole, while simultaneously remaining within the culture. This is nothing extraordinary for a subculture, and yet there’s a certain stigma applied to the “hipster” label.

The term, Hipster, has become used rather frequently to identify anyone that doesn’t appear mainstream. So hipsters stand out from the crowd. (Even if they fit into their stereotypical niche of standing out from the crowd.) Personally, “hipster” is just about the only label I’ve ever felt comfortable with. It’s a subculture so vague it can cover all manners of sins, styles and vices.

probably not, but you can have a definition attempt be farther from reality than others.

this is probably the closest anyone in this thread has come to defining "hipster."

don't want to be whimsical or some crap like that, but hipsters have existed for most of the 20th century, and were probably born alongside "pop" or "popular culture." it seems that each generation of hipsters is defined by the popular culture they are subversive to in that they reject the present idea of pop and those exploits the fans of pop partake in in favor of a culture they deem more artistic, intelligent, authentic, stylistic, blah blah blah... As a result of their refusal to completely conform with a generally large mass of the population and their particular taste they are identified through blanket terms.

a pretty recent change in popular cultures paradigm shift is immediately apparent in Seinfeld. "Hipster doofus" is a term pretty familiar to all of us who are fans of the show, and presents a portrait of a much different character or stereotype than the ever morphing present day "hipster."

this guy is a hipster and obviously revels in it
Quote
In its most simplest terms, a hipster is an individual who wants to know things. Whether it’s knowing of a band before anyone else, or knowing about the conflict in Syria, the history of taxidermy or obscure words in 20th century Americana. A hipster is someone that’s eager to learn, to see—and yes—even to do. Being a hipster means you’re part of a subculture. As a demographic, hipsters try to set themselves apart from culture as a whole, while simultaneously remaining within the culture. This is nothing extraordinary for a subculture, and yet there’s a certain stigma applied to the “hipster” label.

The term, Hipster, has become used rather frequently to identify anyone that doesn’t appear mainstream. So hipsters stand out from the crowd. (Even if they fit into their stereotypical niche of standing out from the crowd.) Personally, “hipster” is just about the only label I’ve ever felt comfortable with. It’s a subculture so vague it can cover all manners of sins, styles and vices.

Pro tip: that guy has no idea what a hipster is.

No, but he's right about the part in bold. Most people in the midwest these days will call you a hipster if you're wearing anything besides mom jeans and your block letter college sweatshirt. That is, if you don't appear "normal" or show even a hint of fashion sense, you must be a "hipster," because "hipster" is a stand-in for "different" now.

Anyone who feels the need to label or categorize themselves wreaks of self esteem issues and a lack of confidence.

I've got a little pro-tip for you: nobody who is a hipster publically calls themselves a hipster

definitely agree that the term "hipster" becomes broader and broader the more vanilla the general local culture is.

Hipsters usually lack the ability to do anything well. The only thing they can do well is be different from those around them.  And because this is the only thing they know how to do well they take the job very seriously.

You guys want a definitions of a hipster?

There is this girl I'm friend's with on facebook that posts haikus about her bicycle rides home from work. That's about as accurate definition as you're going to get.

"Turkey nest across
Bike path climbing ever up
Rider splayed in style"

(probably could have posted this in the facebook thread)

no, denied. see the cyclist thread. That reminds me that a fat cyclist with his khakis stuffed into his socks passed me yesterday while I slowed down for a red light and ran the red light. It took me less than a block to blow past him like a boss. Then he tried to cheat his way out of a protected left at the next light, got stuck trying to cross away from the light, and ate my dust again.

Dogshit hat, derpy gf.  Who are these losers?

She's hot.  But seriously, are those people I should recognize?
I'm not sure who that d-bag with the hat on is but the woman is a womens' rights activist.  I saw her on PBS the other night talking to african women about their vaginas.  It was a very uplifting show.

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg2.timeinc.net%2Finstyle%2Fimages%2F2012%2FWRN%2F100112-olivia-wilde-723.jpg&hash=bc7e96e0f04d1a4a33fd8be5404cbbd8769fb016)

Seems to be obsessed with African vaginas. Very odd.

As the resident goodlooksologist around here, I have to say Olivia Wilde has a big face.  It's a pretty face, but it's huge.  In proportion to the rest of her that is.  I don't think it's huge in an absolute sense.  Not like 'sclams.  She should probably just stick to head shots.

I didn't know either until I stumbled across that article. I know Jason Sudeikis' name and that he does SNL and that he's a KU guy, but I still wouldn't recognize him on the street.

Still don't know who that chick is.  But i know her vagina is dead, so who cares?

Is she related to Oscar?
