What's your opinion on hipsters?

[HEyHEY]

I went to this pub the other night. It was full of them. Do these people have no sense of humour? Or are they just as dumb as the tight pants they wear? It was like being in a douchebag bar, only everyone was wearing a different uniform.
What are your thoughts?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. Hate 'em.

[lost-in-nj]

2. not to look stupid or anything

but whats a
hipster???



lost

[HEyHEY]

4. Usually early twenties, bohemian types

Look like they may be really cool, but when you get talking to them (Or not talking to them, cause they aren't that cool) you realize they suck.

9. Thanks for the explanation

I have never had contact with any of them...
that I know of.... could have been the girl that rang me up at Macy's today...

but then again... I AM alot older than you....

3. there's a special on trucker caps and workshirts with name patches

[HEyHEY]

5. It's still here

6. i studied many years to make my hair look messy.

[Pierre.Suave]

7. Generally very low, but...

I used to know one very well, and she was quite attractive. I wanted to do dirty dirty things to her, so I am mixed. She was ok, but the rest of them, I can live without.

8. My son is one. I assume that the negative stereotypes being espoused...

are essentially the same that my demographic caused back in the late 60s or 70s, e.g. "what's your opinion on hippies?" What goes around comes around. Live and let live. Every dog has its day. To each his own. Etc.

10. I live in one of the capitals of the hipster. I'm SO over them.

What sucks is I like a lot of the same music that they do, so I end up at shows with a lot of shitheads.

[Orsino]

11. There's nothing funnier than someone trying to look cool...

...unless it's someone trying and failing (hence Ben Stiller's career).

[bikebloke]

12. Pseudos

I like the Swiss term for hipsters. I was visiting friends in Basel and they used an English term - pseudos.

[DS1]

13. slighty amusing at times, but otherwise indifferent to them

[mitchum]

14. Pavlov's dogs

[Vanje]

15. Oh my god! AM I A HIPSTER!??

I had to look up "Hipster"
And to my great surprise, I think I might be one!
Can that be possible?
I'm middle -aged. I live in Idaho. I herd sheep.
YET....
I have a duck-tape wallet.(Its a cherished gift)
1960's plastic-frame reading glasses.
Short, messy hair.
My shoes are old style Converse Chuck Taylors.

Just this morning, I was wondering if theres a way dreads would work for my stiff straight hair

[stuntcat]

19. me too :(

:hide:
I think of 'hipster' with a very broad meaning and lots of uses, good and bad.

[Tafiti]

16. Pretty lame for the most part.

People who use clothing to carefully construct and project an image is just stupid, which of course isn't limited to hipsters.

[Taverner]

17. Well, it's a look. Like many looks, it works well on some, poorly on others...

Some hipsters are indeed cool people. Some hipsters are assholes. And some hipsters are funny to watch.

[ghostsofgiants]

29. Winner of the thread.

[femmocrat]

18. How do they differ from "punks"?

:shrug:

[LeftyMom]

21. less brains, more money

[jpgray]

26. This is true

[carly denise pt deux]

20. I guess I am not a hipster....I am just an old hippy

but hipsters seem o.k. I had to look them up to see what exactly a hipster is, from what I see, nothing wrong with them at all.

22. By hipster, do you mean scenester/scene kid?

I never know whether it's the same thing or different. Scene kids piss me off. They (the ones at my school at least) don't like me because I'm a politically aware geek who doesn't do drugs or drink.

Well, I don't like them either.

[HEyHEY]

24. yup, those douches

[graywarrior]

23. I get a narcolepsy attack when I'm around them,

[JVS]

25. What's a hipster?

[XemaSab]

27. Usually I am indifferent

but Neil, if you're reading this CALL ME.

I don't care about your wife. You're too hot to be married anyway... :P

[ghostsofgiants]

28. I'm considerably more intelligent than my tight pants, thank you very much.

[name not needed]

30. At least they're not guidos

[Indi Guy]

32. What do you mean?

[Indi Guy]

31. I prefer Hippies to Hipsters

(maybe because I are one, and so can you!)
