Being a Bro and Being a Douche?

redacted

The scarf is another thing where I thought I was nuts. It wasn’t cold and three or four of my white people co-workers had scarves.
Then again I later found out on the internet that that’s a “thing”.

Fuck, man… I think that’s why I hate it so much…the mentality that “I’ll do something I wouldn’t normally do because that’s what people my age and status are doing!”

I like this definition of new age hipsters from Time magazine via wiki:

“Hipsters are the friends who sneer when you cop to liking Coldplay. They’re the people who wear t-shirts silk-screened with quotes from movies you’ve never heard of and the only ones in America who still think Pabst Blue Ribbon is a good beer. They sport cowboy hats and berets and think Kanye West stole their sunglasses. Everything about them is exactingly constructed to give off the vibe that they just don’t care.”

I HIGHLY recommend you go to Cielo tonight. Gareth Emery is playing there, and he’s an AWESOME, very energetic trance Artist and DJ. You won’t regret it![/quote]
Lol,I think Cielo is in NYC right? I live in Houston and Ferry Corsten was in town. I went to a Sorority party at another club…kinda wish I went to Ferry but I hooked up with a black chick last night so it was okay.

I guess it was just the town I grew up in (Allen) but it was just a TON of rich white kids who didn’t have to (and didn’t want to) do anything for what they were given. Drugs were pretty rampant when I went to high school and there were a lot of people willing to throw anybody under the bus to get what they wanted.

That sounds exactly like my school right now.

Using the term “bro” makes you a douche.

I don’t get this PBR thing, I understand it’s not a good beer. But, for what it cost it’s good. But, I wouldn’t pretend I was cool and I was showing my exceptional tastes drinking a PBR.

That’s the thing…they’re drinking it ‘ironically’. As in “Can you believe that I’m cool enough to lower myself to drinking this?”

I like Pabst Blue Ribbon by the way. I never liked deriding a whole kind of beer ( cheap domestic lighter-style beers) and acting like some weird microbrewed local beer is great. It’s just like that small indie band thing…y’know where I liked them when no one else knew about them shit.

What would you define a person with the following characteristics as:

Hippy-ish behaviour
“Alternative” clothing & attitude.
extremely politically correct.
A general fuckwit overall

^^ These people send me to the point of rage and they should be exterminated, what are they Douches, hipsters or bros, for those of us unfamiliar with these terms??

sounds Hipster to me.

PS: what’s happening in your avatar? It looks like Neo is having batarangs thrown at him.

PPS: I just clicked on your profile and then I can make out that it’s Bush ducking shoes.

If you know the guy’s a hipster, than you should know he’s a douche. If not, then you are a douche.

Yup, Bush ducking shoes. I thought it was funny at the time when the shoes were thrown at him, probably time for a change of avatar now though.

Never did i say that. While it is true that every hipster is a douche, not necessarily is every douche a hipster.

It depends, is that shirt a S, M, L, Xl, 2XL or 3XL.

The corona is a bro tho.

Henry Rollins vs Hipsters - YouTube!
Henry Rollin owns a Hipster

I think it depends on where you are in Houston. Washington is full of Douchebags. Montrose is full of hipsters. Downtown and Richmond are full of ghetto heads. Also, from what I’ve seen the “Affliction takeover” is on it’s last legs. But, it’s still pretty easy to spot a douche. If you see a guy wearing what would otherwise be a nice simple button down adorned with a comically oversized fleur de lis and a slick phrase emblazoned in glitter around it, he’s a douche. To see douches in their natural habitat, go to Diem. It’s like every slimeball douchebag $30,000-millionaire of the last decade in Houston congregates there to discuss slimeball douche tactics. It’s actually kind of amazing.
