If you don't realize that full on hipsters are a kind of disease of ricky retardo insecure soulless shells: Whom so desperately want to be cool hip(no stewie) that they will: Completely change the way they dress, their opinion on music/film/arts, there friends, the way think and talk. If you don't understand how sickening that is you A) have never truly met a full on hipster and witnessed there vapid lifeless lost chameleon lifestyle (or lack there of) B) you are a soul less hipster C) you are a wannabe fucking hippy who thinks no one should ever complain about social diseases

if you would read what I said: a true extreme hipster effects a lot more than the way they dress. I have met and know a lot them. once you have mingled as one of their flock you can smell them miles away. Again refer back to my previous statement of the 3 possible reasons of why you don't understand the anti-hipster perspective.

  On 4/16/2010 at 11:06 PM, Blanket Fort Collapse said:

again I'm referring to extreme to the max hipsters not someone who just decides they want to wear v neck shirts and some wannabe designer looking pointy toed shoes. if you have seen friends and people you care about become lifeless chameleons and dive head first into the hipster market you will never understand my annoyance.

 

do you not understand that there's literally die hard hipsters out there who over calculate their musical taste, the way they talk, how the decorate their house, if they are supposed to act pretentious or humble, the people they hang out with, the beer they drink, the way they think based on the trendy new hip thing to try and make themselves feel unique while completely conforming to trends...

 

have you ever seen SLC punk? its the same concept I grew to understand when I watched that movie when I was 13, how the idea of punk became raped by kids trying to be different/edgy/cool subsequently turning punk into conformist fashion science. Where being punk was about real rebellion the anti-conformity, true angry expression of discontent not a trendy fashion style.

 

 

there's more irony involved in the entire culture of being a hipster than this fags "ironic mustache"

Waar het hart van vol is, loopt de mond van over.

i think basically the awesomity of a handlebar mustache cancels out any concomitant irony

I just think it's funny and a bit sad that you can infer all of this based on the way a person dresses. It's fucking fossy.

i believe posers are what we're really hating on here

 

That's fair enough. But there's the presumption that because someone follows a certain fashion, they're automatically a soulless conformist poser. And that is the attitude of a fossyman.

it's iaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiiaianc!!!!

lol hi iain!

Is it hipster that when I get paid I want to buy one of these?:

And then one of these?:

I think it is. And it's awesome, so I don't mind. Bye.

Blanket Fort Collapse knows what he's talking about actually. The whole thing basically comes down to "hey look at how zany I look! I'm really letting my freak flag fly here! But I'm doing it on purpose and with a wink, so you can't make fun of me, because you'll seem SO square!" I'm only 22, but I know hipsters that are older than me and I wonder why they haven't grown the fuck up yet.

And since they rely completely on obscure pop culture references and irony, they don't contribute anything worthwhile. Novelties are useless after a while, so it's time for a hipster holocaust.

Hipsterism, like modern art, might not be everyone's cup of tea but it's not going away. Something that survives on pastiche, nostalgia and attempted obscurism can never die.

It may become less popular in the mainstream, but it will only serve to make the hipster more hipster.

And if it ever does end, we'll all be wearing grey jumpsuits and touching our toes at the command of a telescreen.

I'm not sure if I really mean any of the above because I just suddenly understood that our generation is not fucked because of 'hipsters', it's fucked because we've managed to put a broad label across at least 50 years of fashion.

Everything is hipster. Close thread.

can you explain this more? im not sure what you mean. and if our generation is fucked, its got nothing to do with fashion. fashion is a transient form of communication, nothing more.

Living in a recycled age (that we have so many contemporary styles in prevalence) doesn't really excite me, but I really can't complain because no generation has had the communication and technology that we have. Fashion (communication, if you will) was something learned through people and situation, not a catalogue.

Anyway. I fear that as a by-product of the advancements in communication we've begun to give broader terms to groups and ideologies.

Maybe I'm just at the wrong age. If I were in school I imagine I'd still see a wide range of people-types (stoners, sports, theatricals, nerds, etc), but when you're an adult and just like everyone else people all tend to look very similar.

I'm not making sense. LOL, bye.

either that, or these advancements have made groups and ideologies more generic and vacuous. its cannibalistic.. like we've got nowhere else to go so culture just feeds on itself. it like we're reaching the end of culture or something. maybe thats a bit too dramatic but i think theres some truth to it. .

I should think that every generation has had something similar though (a group that relishes the nostalgic and obscure) but that today it is much easier to find that obscure information.

An age like ours doesn't excite me culturally anymore, only technologically. I'm not spiritual, so I'll just ignore that aspect.

All the signs seem to suggest that we've almost reached a peak in human society and I think it'll take a drastic change to make a difference to our lives or imagination will stifle itself over and over again.

As a sidenote, I'd rather see this change come via technological advancement rather than destruction.

but i dont think you cant separate culture from technonolgy. theyre too enmeshed. one informs the other.

also, i think its misguided to think of technology as our sole saviour.. its just one piece of the whole.

In my day a Harrigton jacket and a Vespa meant you were a mod or a skinhead.

Yeah, it's a Mod thing. But aren't they defined as hipsters nowadays too?

I'm getting confused.

i thought mod was a 60s thing?

It never went away - there's been big revivals every so often. It was a '60s thing originally. Then a late '70s thing with the Jam and the Quadrophenia movie. Then a mid-'90s thing when Blur got big.

I'm tempted to post an embarrassing picture of me on my Vespa wearing a Harrington in 1993.

I don't think I know what hipsters are anymore.

If you saw a Mod walking down the street, you'd think there's a Mod rather than a hipster?

Hipster to me has become a rehash of everything that was once cool. But after going back to the first page I think I've got this all very wrong.

Shit, please do. I'll try to pose the same when I get there.
