In defence of hipsters (5 Viewers)

[Jill Hives]

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

And here I thought you meant 'alt' country. Like John Deer trucker hats and check shirts.
I think I only know divorced dad bros.

Are there any just 'bros' anymore?

What a casually cruel person you are.

alt bros were actually alt country bros for a brief period a couple of years back, but I doubt any of them knew who the fuck the Jayhawks are

your bros are still your bros

Treat them mean, keep them keen, yo.

It's weird the way hipster has become this umbrella term to categorise anyone who is interested in clothes and having weird haircuts. To be honest, i was a fuckin weird looking teenager, (like Lori Petty in Point Break with spots, which was weird for a 15 year old guy) and i started dressing a certain way and cutting my own hair because it gave me some confidence. I dress more or less the same way now as I do then, but now I'd get called a hipster.

It's like those dudes in Sallynoggin that called me "Highlander" when I had long hair, or "Tank Girl" when that came out on video

Don't forget you also play synths.

AFAIK hipster used to be used as a derogatory remark for white guys who were into black music/culture. Always been a nasty old word.

Bob Dylan = ultimate hipster?

I don't think it was derogatory back in the '40s nor for most of the period it has been in use. Harry Gibson claimed to have coined the term himself so he didn't think of it negatively. Maybe for some it carried a meaning like "wigger" did to a later generation.I knew lads 10 or more years ago who referred to themselves as hipsters in a positive, irony-free sense. It was just a word like hepcat, indicating someone tuned in to what's cool.

There's probably still an early post by me on thumped somewhere where I was complaining about emo being used as a noun instead of an adjective.

Just thought i'd share.






edit: eh... adjective

 

[therealjohnny]

Let me just google that

 

[Lili Marlene]

I implore you not to

 

[therealjohnny]

I was trying to be funny...I only google old Thumped stuff when I'm drunk and alone


then I have a little cry

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Ah Old Thumped was way better than Aged Hipster Thumped.
