Only if you smoke, drink PBR beer, wear skinny jeans and two decade old tees two sizes too small (with an ironic saying or logo), have tats/piercings/gauged ears, quote Beat Generation authors you've never read, go vegan, drink took much coffee to ward off your hangover and look down your nose at everyone who isn't and indie as you.

You really, really do not want to know.

It-that-shall-not-be-mentioned, is a movie. Unfortunately.
Google at your own peril. :sick:

I hate hipsters, yet I find myself wearing deck shoes without socks and chinos on occasion. :sadvaultboy: It's the hair that annoys me though. That uber sweep across the face that basically covers one eye and the glasses too obviously.



But yeah, the girls can be really fit. There's something about a nose ring.

This is a sore point with me. In Atlanta, there's a commercial center called Little 5 Points which has been known for a long time as a sort of cultural center for various "alternative" types, and of course these days there are many "hipsters" there and in nearby neighborhoods. In recent years, multiple murals (at least two, perhaps three) have gone up which feature the PBR logo in some way. I personally find this really offensive, because I get the impression that the general "hipster" leftist attitude is largely anti-corporate as well as focusing on a sense of independent identity, yet they freely accept this corporate iconography as part of their cultural identity. I get the impression that PBR was a not very well known Milwaukee "working man's" beer, which through the recent overwhelming support by the "hipster" crowd, has greatly improved its profits. Hipsters want to bear the authenticity of the working class without any of the actual socio-economic burden, and it's disgusting, because they will just pick and choose that little bit of the American working class, and yet are traditionally generally very anti-American in sentiment (and please don't take me to be a jingoistic nationalist, because I absolutely am not) and will scoff at other very traditionally "American" ideas and ideals, including beers of similar backgrounds and price.

The other thing that bothers me about this is the further compounding of the inconsistency of their "anti-corporate" viewpoint when you consider that this same neighborhood was rife with propaganda and petitions opposing the building of a new commercial center (with some residential apartments as well) down the street which was to replace an old, abandoned industrial building of some sort. Yes, the new place is filled with corporate "big box" stores, but at the same time, it introduced a lot of commercial services to the area which one would have had to drive quite a few miles away in order to access previously. Similar protest was heard during the planning and construction of Atlantic Station, which is a similar commercial center, but with an even greater mixed-use residential aspect, and on top of this, the land was in an even poorer state than the previously mentioned comercial center and was detoxified and reclaimed. The problem with this is that "hipsters" are often bicyclists and public transportation advocates who criticize Atlanta for it's commuter status, weak public transit infrastructure, infamous (sub) urban sprawl, and pollution. Yet, when efforts are made to reclaim polluted land and build sites which would help cut down on traffic and sprawl, people complain about the presence of corporate "big box" stores. Ugh.

TL;DR - "hipsters" are ideologically inconsistent.


Too true, sadly.


:tongue:

What do hipsters do?

Everything you do, but they did it before it was cool.

Didn't you hear? http://thechive.com/2011/11/29/hipsterdom-is-dead-now-youre-just-douchebags-35-photos/, its too mainstream.
