Hipsters

[Psychotic]

I think I've reached the tipping point where people having a moan about hipsters are now more annoying than the hipsters themselves. Never going to top the "Being a Dickhead's Cool" video, just quit while you're ahead.

[krissy]

me and jowy and sharty are gonna go plant trees while listening to animal collective

the rest of you can talk about supernatural the tv show for all i care

[Shorty]

[Denmark]

video games are so mainstream

the internet is so mainstream

talking about things being mainstream is so mainstream

[Iceglow]

do you mean v necks!?!?!


soooo hot if done properly

SNL Digital Short: V-Neck - YouTube

No. V-necks are by definition V's they meet in a point. Scallop necks are like a U and hang low without being pointed and are most commonly found on women's tank/vest tops. I will also argue the V neck jumper without a t-shirt showing half the pectorals is anything but sexy or hot unless the person doing it has a body that can pull this off. This means the only men who should would be primarily gay and very muscled. Even then I wouldn't be impressed or enjoy it since I prefer the fairer sex.

The music they listen to is just so BAD!

That's really your opinion. I like "hipster" music.

I always thought I'd look like a hipster if I ever wore glasses. I was prescribed them recently and it turns out I don't!

I look like a pedo instead... as certain members will attest.

listen man I am not the only one here who listens to animal collective

No, you are not.


I just want to point out the reason I don't like hipsters--the pretentiousness. I've known a lot of them, and even dated one for two years. I'm sorry, just because I happen to like something "mainstream" does not make my opinion lesser than yours. It does not devalue something just because you don't think something's cool enough. Oh, wait. You finally decided to watch that show I told you about TWO YEARS AGO and now you love it? Well, obviously it's cool.

I don't like or not like something because I think I'm going to be judged for it. I like or don't like something because either like or don't like it. And from my experience, the hipsters I know look down on your for something that you like that the Hipster Memo being sent around said "YOU CAN'T LIKE THIS IT'S SUICIDE."

Also, just want to point out Hipsters aren't really a thing unto themselves. Going with stereotypes, there are arty hipsters, drama hipsters, christian hipsters, stoner hipsters, jock hipsters, nerd hipsters, etc. They don't necessarily all group together (although they do a lot.) Most hipsters I know are more like that guy in the group.

Oh, thank you. A lot of people never seem to make the distinction that hipsters can be hipsters about really damn near any topic. They aren't as easy to identify as a lot of us wish

As someone said earlier, we all have a bit of hipster in us, hell I know I do. My hipster side has been trying to take over for years now.

But, also, psychotic makes a great point. I almost find the people who constantly moan and whine about hipsters more annoying than the hipsters themselves. My hipster friends have introduced me to a LOT of good music, and some good food as well. Though I never let them rant for long, I do check out the things they like (and even what they don't like) because it's usually something I haven't seen or heard of before.

While they are pretentious and usually naive, sometimes they do actually have good taste.

Yeah I would say it's more like liking bad games just because they're not popular!

You don't like FFT so I'm not sure how much you know about either.

Clearly I know a bad game when I see one, and I don't pretend to like it because it's less mainstream than the numbered FFs. Unlike SOME people

[Tigmafuzz]

Criticism of FFT (aka Final Fantasy meets Nobunaga's Ambition) should result in a permaban.

[TrollHunter]

So anyone up for a crucifiction? MILF, will you be our kind guest?

[Jiro]

I'm going to wear my glasses because they look good on me

[Jinx]

I'm going to wear my glasses because they look good on me

I can't believe I used to think your glasses made you look hot.

[Jiro]

It's a very hipster thing to change your mind on principles like that. Oh that looks good except hang on they aren't real that's SO HIPSTER GOSH HIPSTERS ARE SO UNCOOL.

You're just as bad

[Tigmafuzz]

It's better to enjoy something on principle than on aesthetics

[Jiro]

And that is where the actual term elitist has to come into play. I mean really? Are you going to get a job where you hate your life every day and feel like what you do is wrong but do it anyway because "oh man prestige is great" or something? If you are not receiving some sort of actual positive feedback from whatever it is that you are doing/seeing/listening to and all of your "joy" is constructed because you think that's what everyone else thinks would be the objectively best thing is then I am so very sorry for you. Your life is going to be devoid of real joy.

EDIT: Let's expand because I'm in the arguing mood. You know that Civ series MILF and Pike love so much? Yeah, let's use that as an analogy.

I prefer Civ V. Blasphemous, I know. I prefer it to Civ IV because it is for filthy casuals. It's my entry point to the series; I find it much easier to grasp with fewer options to confuse me. It pleases me aesthetically.

On principle I should enjoy Civ IV more. But I don't. Should I claim that anyway? Should I lie and try to satisfy my own... what, insecurities? need to be popular? by claiming Civ IV is my favourite? No. Of course not. It might be objectively better but it doesn't have the same effect on me as it does to long time fans of the series. So I will happily enjoy my life with the clean conscience and aesthetic pleasure instead of trying to pander to some "ideal person" you all seem fascinated with. Up yours, elitist hobags

What is gouda? Never heard of it. I've only ever told one person my glasses were real and unless you're the guy in the salmon shirt then it ain't you
