I bask in the scorn of hipsters.
Unironically, even.
Then I listen to old bands doing covers of really old bands.

I was on before I was even invited.
Because I'm hip.
Not because I'm rude.

The only hipsters I know about.
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."
Thats hipsters right there.

Where did you quote that from? Some of it's true, but laughably so. I'll "rise when elders enter the room" just as soon as they happen to be royalty. And crossed legs? Seriously?Dilbert_X wrote:

one of the great looping paradoxes of this whole internet "fuck hipsters" thing is that it's often the anti-hipster bandwagoners who act all super serious and miserable. though maybe you're confusing hipsters with emos in that whiny regard. afaik hipsters aren't meant to be self-loathing at all... they're hated because they enjoy things that other people perceive as being stupid. i read some huge rant against the use of 'fixibikes' by hipsters in towns*, when they're functionally impractical and are meant for the velodrome more than the city streets... but someone's simple retort was: "think what you want, that guy is having fun and turning up to work with a smile". which i think sums this whole dumb internet anti-hipster thing up rather nicely. it's just the latest continuation of anti-everything bullshit that internet neckbeards ride into tiresome infinity. a bunch of 30-somethings that probably shouldn't get wound up so easy. like how pathetic was the anti-emo thing? we all laugh at how dumb it was now. it'll be the same with anti-hipsters in 5 years. there's always a group of young people (and i'm not one of them) that just have fun, commit typical youthful follies, subscribe and buy into faddish fashions etc.etc. that's as old as fashion and youth-culture itself. the other constant is of course the pissy old misers that never tire of ragging on kids... even though they're the ones that should - and do - know better.FEOS wrote:

*disclaimer: i read this rant in a dj forum i frequent about digital dj'ing versus old vinyl turntable dj'ing. the guy was using the fixibike as an analogy to the vinyl turntable. i don't actually visit sites that give a minute of time for this whole 'omfg hipsters' phenomenon. i think it's fucking stupid and a waste of air.

Uhh, hipsters aren't really a fad uzi... they've gone by dozens of names over the years: hippies, bohemians, etc. artsy people that thumb their nose at the rest of society and get off on chasing fads. the current iteration is different in that instead of trying to form communes (some still do), they get off on mockery and destroying the value of the luxury crap they got used to as spoilt children. Businessmen in suits paying top dollar for foie gras terrines in michelin starred restaurants? Buy an old school bus, turn it into a food truck, and sell a version of the terrine at $5 above cost insteadUzique wrote:

Hipster in America usually just means college graduate that hasn't gotten his shit together because he doesn't want to grow up just yet.

weird that dj forums are often full of hipsters.
hipsters were cool when they were hippies, they are way to mainstream now.
what are you on about, here? you go to many then, i guess? most dj's that care enough to post on forums about gear, technology, advice, tutorials etc. are late 20 and 30-something family men that have dj'ing as a hobby. you know, the sort of guys that are more likely to be dj'ing a wedding than in some underground dance club on drugs. or oldschool hip-hop heads that fell in love with turntablism and vinyl back when hip-hop and scratching first had its big boom in the 1980's. hardly hipsters, is it?AussieReaper wrote:

i think you'll find actually that before hippies there were the beatniks and hep-cats, who were infinitely cooler. they saw hippies as a young, mainstream, air-headed nuisance, too. and before the beatniks you had the jazzers and bright young things, who no doubt saw the beatniks as being very distasteful indeed. and so on it goes... all the way back to socrates. aren't we all wise by feeding this constantly rotating mill of bullshit!-Whiteroom- wrote:
