Damned hipsters are taking everything I hold dear

[NightWatcher]

I'd often wear a v neck tshirt and fedora to the local bistro where I'd twirl my handlebar mustache and sip a can of PBR while smothering everything I ordered in Sriracha.




Seriously, I love this stuff

7. I was 1990's grunge, I cant make fun of anyone's style

I wore combat boots, cut off shorts below the knee, flannel shirt tied around waist, band tshirt, long hair, shaved side of head...

10. I'll own to some of that

I was in Middle School during the grunge era.
I had the flannel tied around the waist, dark shirt... Long hair...

Unfortunately, mine is wavy, so I ended up just looking dirty.

3. Hipsters:

"By 2003, when The Hipster Handbook was published by Williamsburg resident Robert Lanham, the term had come into widespread use in relation to Williamsburg and similar neighborhoods.

The Hipster Handbook described hipsters as young people with "mop-top haircuts, swinging retro pocketbooks, talking on cell phones, smoking European cigarettes... strutting in platform shoes with a biography of Che Guevara sticking out of their bags".[12]

Lanham further describes hipsters thus: "You graduated from a liberal arts school whose football team hasn't won a game since the Reagan administration" and "you have one Republican friend who you always describe as being your 'one Republican friend.'"[5] One author dates the initial phase of the revival of the term from 1999 to 2003.[13]

4. What is the definition of hipster?

Back in the sixties it was probably much different.

9. As far as I have been able to determine...

... "hipsters" are 21st-century under-thirties who don't have enough imagination to think up an original name for their clique.

13. Closer to under-40s...

though that is starting even to be pushed.

Scrawled in the NYC Subway, Harlem/125th St. station. circa March 2010:

"There's nothing more pathetic than an aging hipster." -Dr. Evil

"That's okay. I don't intend on growing up any time soon." -This Guy

11. hipsters just ARE

we have such inner hip that it exudes through our mundane clothing and what looks like on the surface bad hair and personal grooming techniques . We walk silently unseen and unknown ..........................

14. Cocksauce, damn it all

Nasty stuff

I was out yesterday. We are in the middle of a heatish wave. a lot of warm, very little of our usual rain.

There was a young woman walking down the sidewalk. Sumerish dress, straps, could see the shoulderblades and knees kinda deal. Reasonable for a young woman on a hot day walking down the street.

And a hood. Imagine if someone took a heavy coat, the kind with a fur lined hood. Then cut off the coat. Just the hood. With a fringe of "fur".

I fear for what is to come.

Though I also saw another young woman on a different street a few weeks ago, walking with a young man. Wearing what appeared to be full Islamic head covering, the type where you can only see the eyes. And a miniskirt.

The world is a strange place.
