What the fuck is a hipster?

Does it have anything to do with hippies? Are there any of you on here? I started seeing people like this during my senior year of high school. I found this video and I thought it was funny.

"Oh and you better like coffee!" lol

 

I dated a hipster once. He wore black framed glasses, trendy belt buckles, expensive jeans, and he had an obsession with nike dunks or whatever those ugly ass shoes are called. Damn that dude got on my nerves after a while.

I think the term hippie is derived from hipster because hippies were an offshoot of beatniks which were known as hipsters. woo thats a mouthful. I don't think the two are really connected anymore; hippies are decidedly untrendy and hipsters are hip because they keep up with the latest trends...in an ironic way, of course.

 

Irony must be their favorite word. lol Someone called me a hipster but I don't really think I am one. I don't follow with any trends or try to dress any certain way. I just wear what I think is pretty and comfortable. I used to be referred to as a hippie because of my long skirts and for always wearing sandals, earthy colors, my indian-style purses, always wearing my hair down, not caring what people think about me etc.

But now because being a hipster is the new thing people are calling me that! lol I have glasses but they're not huge, and I actually need them to not be blind. And I just recently bought my first pair of converse sneakers but that's only because I need non-flip flops for jobs and stuff lol

 

lol converses do seem to be the hipster shoe of choice, but they've also been around since what...the 50s? They're comfortable and awesome, screw anyone that tries to label you just because you wear glasses and a certain brand of shoe.

I think the whole hipster label is stupid, to be honest. That guy I dated definitely tried way too hard to be cool, which makes him uncool. But I also know a lot of people that would be labeled hipsters by some, but they're really awesome people and I think putting a label on them is unfair.

well after watching the youtube that Nova posted, the best I can come up with is, if Pee Wee Herman and Elvis Costello had a love child!!!!

 

I think hipsters vary from state to state. Around here, hipsters are spoiled little brats who bitch all the time and wear those skinny jeans where you can see every crevice of the guys nutsac. They wear ugly plaid shirts and the girls wear gawdy headbands that look like turd monkey.

All I know is that my brother wants every one of them dead for some reason haha

 

damn lmao


Nova- what is that creature in your sig??? It's soooo cute!!

 

ugh guys should really not wear skinny jeans. What is that all about anyways? How could that possibly be comfortable?

 

i just think about bowling shirts and tiki lamps and my stomach feels queasy

 

I won't even wear them and I'm a girl. Nothing makes me more sick then seeing a guy in skinny jeans that aren't even up all the way and their shaft is just protruding from it, all limp and shriveled and you can see a distinct head print of the penis...not right...just not right

 

I have a few pairs that I've broken in and are really comfortable, but other than that I find them really uncomfortable too. I can't even imagine being able to wear them if I had a little extra something in the crotch area.

My friend and I were hanging out with this guy a few years ago when guys first started wearing skinny jeans. Out of nowhere he propped his leg up on the table, turned his crotch in our general direction, and said he liked to wear skinny jeans while at work (he waited tables) because the girls could see his junk and he always got better tips.

we never hung out with him after that lol.

I guess guys think showing off their junk like that is somehow attractive to females.

 

Lets size those fuckers up, put a label on them and hate hate hate......wait

 

What I meant to say is, let's judge those fuckers cause they wear things that I don't like.....wait




Kinda feels like highschool again

 

Skinny jeans are lame. Overly-baggy jeans are lame. I have baggy-ish jeans and jeans that aren't tight but like, have a bit of slack. I don't want to have any male camel toe, that's fucking gay. Anywho, hipsters are people who are pretty much like this

Look how cool we are we do drugs and are soooooooooo psychedelic!

Fags

Anyway, notice the "We have buddhist bells!" thing in the beginning and the trendy sunglasses and how the music is trying to be "out-there and cool"

Fuck. It makes me want to puke. The video is pretty lulzy though.

 

Equally as lame a stereotype as gangsters, hippies, and rednecks.

 

are you a guy? I always thought you were a female of the lesbian persuasion lol

 

I think hipsters were around a lot longer before than hippies. I think I remember William Burroughs writing about them or mentioning them, and it wasn't positive. I don't know if it has the same meaning now as it did then.

 

Yes ma'am I'm a sir. I just put it because you hear so much about gay guys and nothing about lesbians so I figure I should support the cause or....something.

Also, I love ladies :2thumbsup:

 

You see them all over SF riding fix gears and drinking PBR. I think of it in Darwinian terms. Any moron who rides a bicycle without brakes in the hilliest city in the world is on their way out of the Gene Pool. Generally in SF they try to emulate bike messengers. I was one (a bike messenger not a hipster) and hipsters are about the most clueless individuals on the face of the earth and they are also about the most smug, self centered and arrogant bunch of pseudo intellectual assholes on the planet. Once they move on to a new fad the world will be a much better place.
