#1) Hipsters
Wednesday, July 30, 2008
Hipsters have a particular disdain for their peers. They are ruthless when it comes to criticizing the outfits/haircuts/body modifications of the other people around them, and often hold impromptu competitions to see who can spot the biggest hipster in the room. Winner would take all, if he cared – which he doesn’t. You know you have encountered a true hipster his first utterance when entering a venue is “Jesus, this place is crawling with hipsters.”
("I can't stand these fucking people")
The hipster will not make any attempt to whisper or conceal his disdain for one reason and one reason only: the hipster does not believe that he is a hipster. Just as Clayton Bigsby, the blind white supremacist played by Dave Chapelle, goes about his life unaware that he is actually black, hipsters attend free showings of movies like A Wet Hot American Summer and The Virgin Suicides at McCarren Park Pool blissfully unaware that they are not really as ironic as they think they are. (Note: any attempt to inform a hipster that he actually is a hipster should be considered futile; be prepared for an incredulous stink eye followed by immediate nonchalance.)
It isn’t stink eye, her face is just like that.
a blog about “hipsters” is more of a waste of space than hipster themselves
That may indeed be the case, dave4, but as long as I keep laughing out loud when I read the posts, I hope she’ll keep posting!
Well done.
This is just hilarious.
according to the post Dave4 has gotta be a hipster
i enjoy your schenanigans OP
[...] I scoffed at someone the other day for not knowing who The Ting Tings are. I finally got my stuff shipped from my home town and realized my wardrobe is 70 percent thrift store items and hand-me-downs and 20 percent childhood t-shirts that may or may not be ironic; the things I bought from actual retail stores (the remaining 10 percent) are from the Urban Outfitters annual sidewalk sale or converse sneakers. Most incriminatingly, I had a fling with the lead singer of a hipster band — who i met at Union Pool. (PS: If you’re reading this, sorry! I know you don’t think you or your band is “hipster” but, well, you are and it is.) [...]
well I guess the hate has to start somewhere. way to spread it.
I share this disdain with you, I wrote a similar entry a while back, we should band together and rid the world of these assholes.
This is so true! And so funny. My friends who were fun and normal moved to SF from the burbs in droves and became total hipsters. I saw one of those friends posted that “Hipster Olympics” video on one of the other friend’s MySpace page. Talk about irony!
And dumbass dave4 doesn’t seem to “get it”.
Making the claim that whoever is a “hipster” will calim that they are not a “hipster” is circular logic. Who wouldn’t say that they they aren’t something that is socially acknowledged as “wrong” or “ironic”? And in the meanwhile, you are using a term that is simutaneously judgemental, and self-reflective. Anyone who makes a claim about another human being with no mention of any personal contact or systematic study and thought has some sort of personal loss of self-image when confronted with someone who challenges them in appearance/thought/style, etc. So what if a “hipster” (by your personal standards of “self”) reflects that which you disdain? What makes you any “better” or more “productive”, or any other positive leaning word or adjective I could use?
shut up
wow…way to spread hate about people who ultimately arent doing anything wrong. so the fuck what? who cares if they dress and act like that? you think so highly of yourself that you can talk about people like that? since you do, your the one with the problem and the true asshole. you’re being hateful for no reason. oh i forgot, you do have a reason, its just because you dont like them. people like you should not exist, the world would be better off without you. btw, you’re not as “witty” and “ironic” as you think you are.
jeez, people. what is the deal?
people can be who they want, you have no right to diss them for it.
prejudices like this start really stupid shit.
ever heard of the holocaust?
what does the holocaust(the slaughtering of 11 million people)have to do with not liking people who wear neon green sun glasses,listen to obscure noise rock bands from the 80’s and drink Pabst Blue Ribbon
It seems pretty weak to compare the fun little jokes cracked on the “hipster” crew to a mass murder of people like the holocaust. Its best to stay away from broad generalizations about any subculture but what is the fucking harm in making some jokes about how silly people can act? Everyone is taking themselves way to seriously (hipster crew and hipsters hatters included). One of my best friends is a self proclaimed hipster and i view it as an outward expression of her personality even though i think that scene in general isnt for me. So in conclusion do what you do and own the shit out of it,and have some fun along the way. just dont be a lame ass toolbag. (this site is funny as hell by the way)
I think it’s funny that some hipsters will probably read this and laugh at their own kind, though not realizing that they fit ever so perfectly into this stereotype of misfits.
Oh the irony. This makes me smile.
