Unhappy Hipsters

"With the shelves finally ordered by size, function, and smell, he got to work separating the pine needles from the sawdust on the terrace."

"Not on the grass, Sweetie. Never. On. The. Grass. See how much fun Daddy is having?"

"The kitchen had been the source of so much unpleasantness."

"For once in his life he was on the inside looking out. And for all his effort, there was no one to witness his arrival as an arbiter of culture."

"Without the daily self-portraits, he feared he might disappear completely."

Unhappy Hipsters

Hipster thread provides no hipsters.

this thread fails massively

Hipster thread is not hip.

this non hipster hipster thread is cloaked in a dozen layers of reverse irony, that's why you conformists don't get it.

I'm going to read all of these 24 pages to find out.

It seems like it's the new word da kidz on WATMM seem to recently enjoy throwing around without actually knowing what one is. This thread seems to go some way to prove that point....

Makes no sense, but I can still enjoy the pictures. Some of the captions are funny even though they have nothing to do with hipsters.

Well in my opinion it's people who generally appear to have their brain totally confused as to whether their fashion is 'ironic' or just 'totally shit'. These kind of idiots:

Hipsters in action (try not to smash your monitor):

then according to your definition, I have not used the term incorrectly.

I browsed through the actual blog and i think i get it now. However, i can't shake the feeling that the blogger is a much greater hipster than his subjects.

Almost undoubtedly.

i think the problem with the term is that it gives in far too easily for grand generalization, which is why certain people get so butthurt about it.

I still say though, once you meet a hipster, you know what a hipster is.

sorta like trying to describe to someone an LSD trip....you'd have to experience it first.

What the fuck ?! I've just replied and now about 5 posts have gone missing ?!

EDIT: (erm they're back now )

that site nor the pictures / captions have nothing to do with hipsters, it's about the coldness of the environments often displayed in architecture magazines etc, stop obsessing over hipsters already.

Ooh, you got me there I thought that scenesters and hipsters were an interchangeable thing. Are scenesters more like an emo/slightly goth type look ?

I thought a scenester just goes along with what ever is in fashion at the time?
