In defence of hipsters (3 Viewers)

Is that all there is to a hipster?
Everything is meaningless.

Hipsters are not nihilists it is the term itself which is a fabrication. If you like an attemp to pigeonhole a supposed cultural group or movement that does not really exist.

It was a joke, dude.

It's for people who are hip..see Lili's thread about and for hip people

no squares allowed

Denying that hipsters exist - why?

 

[Lili Marlene]

Hipsters don't exist

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

What I did find amusing when I was last in Dublin was hipsters still wearing trucker hats. Which was a thing with hipsters in Brooklyn (hipster homeland) like years ago.
So there was this guy on the plane with me to NY in his skinny black jeans and white v-neck t-shirt and he did not take his trucker hat off the whole time, like he was so proud of the whole look.
It amused me, but I was also morto for him that all the other 'real' BK hipsters would make fun of him secretly or however they would do such a thing.
Anyway

 

[oh shit]

the point is not that they don't exist but that they cannot be defined.

Current look seems to be dressing like a character from the Fresh Prince; backwards baseball caps, garish polka dots and bart simpson shirts. Albeit mixed with Grimes purple and grey hair.

Not saying these are 'hipsters' or whatever but certainly it's a trend at the moment.

You're just old enough to see it go around twice.

 

[oh shit]

LET THE PEOPLE WEAR WHAT THEY WANT AND ALL SHUT UP

 

[oh shit]

go in peace

 

[therealjohnny]

Back in the day I assume these guys were the very definition of hipster

something went wrong along the way

the same way R n' B has become meaningless

 

[therealjohnny]

too hungover to craft coherent sentences

 

[oh shit]

RnB isn't meaningless!

 

[therealjohnny]

I mean literally..the term has changed from what it used to be

What used to be "rythm and blues" is now a new type of music called with a new word "arrreenbee"

too tired to argue

see earlier post about coherence

They're not wearing them in BK though.

Well not in the parts I go to.

I am old though

I don't know much about hipsters but from walking around Dublin I've noticed that the Roger Casement look is very popular at the moment.

he sounds like an alt bro. i don't think guys like that usually end up at places where they could potentially be made fun of. he'll just find the Manhattan equivalent of Whelans and hang out with all the other alt bros and swag bros.

yeah I'm probably out of my depth here as far as bro taxonomy goes

 

[george mcfly]

alt bros are guys what are usually lads, that latch on to the idea of being alternative. usually by wearing stuff that is 'in' like the snapback hats. swag bros are the same except they appropriate elements of hip hop culture. alt and swag bros probably use the word "banter" and aren't really interested in music
