Hipsters: Yay or Nay?

I think just like any other clique or social niche you’re gonna have douchebags and good people.

I hereby retract that “live and let live” hippie bullshit I posted, and wish upon that ink-bespectacled jizzbucket the stings of a hundred thousand Peruvian bullet ants.

I had a group of friends freshmen/sophomore year of high school. They progressively became more lame as time went on, but I never had a term to classify them under until recently. I realized I watched them sink into full blown hipster-ism. I find hipsters especially repulsive because of how they wave the flag of non conformity while blatantly conforming.

As long as they don’t infringe on my enjoyment of life, I’m fine with them. Wiccans, Goths, Emos, hipsters, whatever. Live and let live. The more male hipsters there are, the bigger my guns, pecs and genitals look.

Some of the female hipsters are pretty cute. [/quote]

Wrong, hipster girls are not-cute they are cute…I don’t know what the fuck I’m saying. Either way, I still want to punch them in the face.[/quote]

EDIT:
FUCK-DAMMIT…I mistakenly took you as imhungry, he has tigers in his avatar I guess thats where I got confused “hahhaa, classic mixup” (ala zack galifiniakis in the hangover)

peace[/quote]

I don’t get this post - Brother Chris uses a Lion in his avatar and Imhungry uses a Tiger.

Lion =/= Tiger.

Sounds like you got a “classic mixup” in evolution somewhere.

I don’t get this whole thing with hipsters and trying to be cool by being different. How the hell can hipsters be “different” if they’re the same as all the people they hang out with? If a hipster is somehow supposed to be cool because he/she doesn’t follow some preconceived notion of normality or they claim to be cool because they are “individuals”, then they’ve failed at it.

If I’m supposed to believe that hipsters are cool because they’re different, well…I’m not buying it. The only difference between hipsters and the people they don’t like are the ways in which they try to be cool. Personally, I think that the second someone tries to be cool, they cease being cool. That is, if being cool is somehow tied to be different or “individualistic”. Shit, if you think about it, by hipster logic, the only people who really are cool are nerds. Nerds are more individualistic than most and they certainly aren’t trying (at least very hard) to be cool.

Fuck hipsters and fuck every guy who wears those motherfucking abominable-looking Buddy Holly glasses with their fucking scraggly goatee and their cardigan sweatshirts with their goddamned Chuck Norris’ with five fucking holes in them and their motherfucking iPods playing a bunch of emo while they walk around thinking they’re cool because they look like a fucking extra from a Weezer video. Fuck them.

Im friends with hipsters. I actually don’t mind them at times but sometimes they act so pretentious and snobby that it annoys the hell out of me. My friend for example,The other day we were behind a coffee shop talking about his girlfriend shaving her legs. He says he hates it because its a “social norm”. He also hates her wearing make up. This is all so ironic because he loves wearing tight cut offs,he loves listening to Teagan & Sara,and hes an art major. Wouldnt all this be a social norm,at the very least,in his niche or group? Its all very hypocritical and stupid. He also hates “being judged” but is quick to call someone else a douche bag and criticize and mock me for lifting weights for a hobby.[/quote]

You should beat the ever living shit out of him, just once.

And then tell’em that no matter how smart he is or individualistic, he’s still a fucking pussy.

I bet he’ll never mock you for lifting again.

I believe this would be relevant in this situation…


Hipster chicks are ok, you just have to train them right.

They secretly love muscles too. They ARE still female after all.

Agreed.
They think they’re different from the other 96% of the population but they’re 100% the same as their 10 closest friends.

Also they may say that I too am conforming by wearing my jeans, black leather shoes and polo shirt…yeah, I guess I am, but I also try not to use the way I dress as the be all end all of what I believe in.

be yourself, that’s what’s really cool.


Hipsters are the Beat Poets of the sixties, like Ferlinghetti and Ginsberg.


Fucking hate hipsters more than anything. Loser-ass bongo playing, frisbee throwing pussies. Get a haircut and a job. A real job, not pouring fap-achinos at Starfucks.

If Superheroes were Hipsters

Yea but who the fuck is Zac Efron?

Fucking Hipsters!

I’ve lost a couple friends to this trend… ugh. I don’t even speak to them anymore because they’re too cool.

Hipsters are pretty far off my radar. They were all over the place in college though.

I couldn’t give two shits about a group of people that has no impact on my life.

I think down here we call them “Scene Kids” but its practically the same thing. It’s mostly associated with music in Florida and not so much art. Alot of kids wearing the skinny jeans, cutoff skinny jeans, loose fitting wife beaters and such…they all like Hardcore music and emo music. I love hardcore, but I don’t dress like a scene kid.
