We have visual evidence of the ancestor of hipsters.

The term actually was around in the 1940s.

I don't know what the hell you guys can see in that photo

Personally, I think the photo IS real, but is just a case of old clothes looking contemporary (or vice versa).

Where's Waldo idm edition.

the guy in the photo was just like, a fashion pioneer - everyone used to laugh at him when he suggested "this is what everyone will be wearing in 50 years". guess he's had the last laugh.

old-money WASPs have been dressing like that for ages, Ralph Lauren just recycled that look, imo.

qft

truth? could shopped, could be real.. who the fuck knows?

Wait, so because one guy isn't wearing a suit and hat in the 40s that makes him a time traveller or a photoshop?

well at first I thought he was wearing some weird portland hippie hipster hoodie, but its some type of pollover cardigan whatever the fuck. So maybe he really didnt have 1.21 jiggawiggerwatts

sunglasses, t-shirts, cameras. all things that weren't invented yet.

maybe that dude is "normal" and all those people in suits and fedora's are wondering wtf they are doing in 2010? they seem to be staring at some sort of time/space wormhole but the sweater guy knows he needs shades so his retinas dont get burned and ruin his ability to read pitchfork reviews.

Those sunglasses are typical 40's/50's ski glasses anyway. There's one pair in my grandparents attic (sides in leather and rectangular slits for the snow glare)

Erm, sunglasses have been around long before the 40's, as were cameras. As for the tee shirt, any scoop neck pullover shirt could be considered a "tee" shirt.

Yeah, I had a pair of those in the 80's (they were Vuarnet, remember those?) 'cept mine didn't have the slits.

Erm, since he listed cameras, and since this is a PHOTOGRAPH, I think uptowndevil was joking.

the camera comment went right over my head, I was about to memorise uptowndevil to my idiot list

he's holding what's clearly a flux capacitor.

We need a sunglasses expert here. The dude's sunglasses are not something I would have expected from the 1940s.

He looks like a real hipster, of the soon-to-be Beat-gen sort, and was probably a pro photographer and also probably really liked heroin. The glasses are a little weird, but look more like something derived from the safety-glasses school of industrial design, and I'm pretty sure there were safety glasses like that back then.

Edit: wait, '41? That is pretty early. He was probably just a shitty dresser and a photographer, accidentally forecasting later fashion trends.

it's definitely jack dangers
