Look at this fucking hipster - Page 2

If they're in NY & Philly, they must be infesting Jersey. Thank God I'm too old to go where these things congregate any more. I can bury my head in my suburban backyard hole, with my frequent forays into hipster-free county seats like Elizabeth (much too ethnic for the likes of this crap), and pretend they don't exist anywhere near me. Urge to kill. . . maintained.

Are those hipsters, cause they look like participants of Carnavale to me. Also that first person is Wil Wheaton and he is no hipster, my friends.

I just don't think we have any frame of reference for the hipster here in Australia to my knowledge. Just when I think I'm getting a handle on exactly who and what they are I see something like that website and Im back to being lost.

If those photos are anything to go by, the only term I think we in Oz would refer to such people as is 'Try-Hard Attention Seeking Dickheads' really.

Oh, I've seen 'em, especially when you get closer to the Shore and the clubs/bars and malls in the area. Fortunately, in my neck of the woods, the guido/guidette subculture is strong enough to keep hipster shit isolated, as does the working class, blue collar majority.

I do imagine, however, that many of the college campuses are awash in hipster shit, as well as in the artist community (I saw elements of hipster infestation at a couple of art shows a year or so back. Awful, awful art by awful, awful and EXTREMELY self-important, hipsters with absolutely NOTHING to communicate in a visual medium but regurgitated intelligentsia BS that they picked up somewhere).

Sadly I think one of my good friends fits in this category, but he's not doing it on purpose, he's just odd. And he doesn't drink Pabst.

*edit- He might actually, he drinks anything. Fuck.

They're like locusts. They're moving from scene to scene--their whole civilization. After they've consumed every natural resource they move on. And we're next.

Nuke 'em. Let's nuke the bastards.

Whether the sweater qualifies him as a hipster or not, I'm pretty sure the person in the first picture is Wil Wheaton.

The site apologizes for the Will Weaton mix-up:

The second one also looks photoshopped. Look at his hair. It's all blurry around the edges.

Down here, the hipster beer of choice is National Bohemian. Not only does it take care of the "blue collar" thing, but it's got the tenuous, kitschy connection to Baltimore. "Give me a 'Boh, hon!" It's so ironic I want to shit.

Maybe there are regional variations, but in my eyes fat people can't be hipsters. Much of the scene involves sustaining on a diet of coffee and cigarettes. If they dare to eat, it generally involves small amounts of some vegan or vegetarian dish. And of course, there is a shit load of drugs of the speed variety, which inevitably leaves you looking malnourished and opaque.

The guy in the Flintstones shirt is Dan Deacon. Quality of his stuff is a matter of opinion, obviously -- I love the last two records quite a lot, and he works a crowd like few performers I've ever seen.

One of the benefits of becoming a crotchety old man is that I get to make fun of stupid kids, secure--of course--in the knowledge that I never, ever, acted or dressed like an idiot when I was that age. If I ever get a lawn, I'll also gain the ability to tell kids to get off of it. This is fundamentally American; it's what the founding fathers intended.

As for Deacon, I wasn't making a value judgement by calling him the high priest of Baltimore hipsterdom. Wham City is the locus of most of the unwashed-art-school-student activity around here, so I was just making an observation. Finding that picture on the website that kicked off this thread just cracked me up.

He was a nice guy the two times I met him after shows. But I don't judge artists by their personalities. Or their clothes.

Making fun of people’s clothes is something most mature people gave up in high school; that was my point. Yeah, hipsters dress like idiots. But so do most people. If you want to pat yourself on the back because your own personal style is impeccable, go right ahead. Most people in this thread can't make that claim, especially everyone who lived in the 80's. But if anyone here ever wore hammer pants, jams, bought a flannel shirt from the local Salvo or tight rolled their jeans, they should really shut the fuck up. And I'm pretty sure that's probably at least everybody.

There have been more than a couple comments featuring people joking about killing folks who dress like this. I’d rather have a thread making fun of that kind of behavior, but whatever.

Why doesn’t anyone make fun of the way hip-hop fans dress? Most of my students wear super baggy jeans that they constantly have to pull up. They can’t run across the street without their pants falling down. Where’s that thread?

Probably back in the 90s, with your Gap employee. Whatever that was supposed to mean.

Here's the thing you don't get- it's not the hipster fashion that's irritating, it's the people. Especially the ones that fill up your city and drive up your rent and frequent starbucks and whole foods and let the local retailers that have been here for years go broke.

But you're basing your hatred solely on what people dress. As if people who don't dress like that don't do those things. Yuppies do the same types of shit.

It's called living in a major city. It doesn't have anything to do with anyones wardrobe. You mentioned Bed Stuy. Pratt has been around that area for years. You think Hipsters just materialized around their recently? Come on. As long as there have been art students in Brooklyn...

Also, does this mean that you don't think people dress like this anymore? Because I have about 300 inner-city college kids I could introduce you to that would prove otherwise.

I suppose I am. I just hate threads like this. The internet is a giant shield of cowardly anonymity where people can make fun of others and talk about going to a clock tower to pick them off one by one, where in real life they probably dress like a nerd and have never been in a fight. I just think it's stupid. But I've said my piece and I'll bow out of the thread now. Apologies. Carry on.

I think it's more the attitude that hipsters give off (too cool for the room, more knowledgeable than you, etc.) and the dress code they sport acts as a red flag to us non-hipster folk. You see someone in any of the outfits hipsters wear, and you're pretty much guaranteed you're not going to have a good time in their company. Seeing a whole herd o' hipster in your general vicinity only increases that feeling.

As to mocking clothes, hell, that's going back to early civilizations. Powdered wigs and pantaloons were the shit back in the day, now not so much. I'm also sure that Og the caveman used to mock folks from another tribe for wearing sabre-tooth skins, when mammoth was all the rage 'round the campfire ("Look at that less-evolved mother fucker. Wearing sabre-tooth up in our hood. He's trouble, Thog.").

But most of the people in this thread have posted pics of themselves here at CHUD so it's not like anyone is hiding behind fashion anonymity.

I do agree that the net is filled with people like you mention. And you have every right to post your thoughts but it seems like this thread is knee deep in humour and maybe your anger isn't justified in this particular instance.

Ah, but you get to pick the pictures that represent yourselves on here. If there was a website that said "LOOK AT THAT FUCKING NERD POSTING ON AN INTERNET FORUM" that caught you in boxers and a t-shirt eating leftover nachos...I'm sure you wouldn't say that's you at your personal best.

(Not that that's you, or anyone else here, or that anyone is a nerd for posting here, it's just an examble).

Also, I'm not really angry, I just think it's stupid. It's not like I think less of people in the thread. You're all entitled to your opinions and you're entitled to make fun of whomever you want.

Also, sorry Nooj. Whenever you post something sarcasting, I miss it.
