Hipster is one of three things. A term old people use to describe the culture of the current generation, a term used by people apart of this generation of youths and think they're cool for being different, or a scapegoat term used by snobbish nerds to slander a culture of people for being snobby when really it's they who can't stand to look in the mirror.

This should answer your question.

I think it's hard to judge someone for being a Hipster since a lot of it is based around that individual's opinion on music, movies, pop culture, etc.....But as fr as fashion goes, this video kinda pisses me off. It seems the only logical way not to be called a Hipster is to just walk around naked. I mean, at what point can someone, such as myself, wear Vans, a plaid shirt and skinny jeans and NOT be seen as a Hipster? Especially since I've dressed that way since before this whole Hipster term became relevant.

I love my mainstream music and movies far too much. And yes, I love indie films and music, too. Does that make me a Hipster?

The biggest irony of that video is the dude singing the song with the hat looking more like a Hipster than the ppl he's pointing the finger at.

I agree, the video stretches it.

Certainly, a combination of some of the things they pointed out, plus the element of trying too hard, would go towards a hipster look.

I study film. I live next to the art section of the university. I see hipsters all the time.

There's one particular guy in my class who exemplifies what a hipster is to an utterly pathetic level. "Oh, you picked the Hollywood class? Well I picked alternative cinema!" God, shut up, shut up!! He's fat, wears jeans that are too skinny for him, he does this really weird thing with his hair that makes it look like a hamburger with curly fries, he rolls his jeans up to reveal his socks, wears really dumb shirts all the time, wears a really dumb beany hat... its like a uniform.

I've never seen him wear superhero t-shirts. But he is a white guy who wears t-shirts featuring black rappers.

Basically someone being arbitrarily aggressive at expressing themselves at no one but themselves.

I'm sorry you see this guy on a regular basis.

If a hipster is a person who pretty much finds something before it becomes "cool"... then I know a lot of hipsters But if you're going for the snobbish definition, then... nah. Most of the people I know are hardly snobbish.

Thank you. Now will you tell that to Apple. They won't hire me because I don't look "with it" enough.

HAHAHAHA! Brilliant

The majority of the people in this thread are a bunch of dirty hipsters. The #1 Hipster rule is to never admit you're a hipster, always deny.

 

[LOBO3315a]

I don't deny not being a hipster.

Call me a hipster if you want, but I'd love to try riding a penny-farthing one day.

The only thing particularly hipster I simply can't stand is the sheer amount of people wearing Buddy Holly/Austin powers thick horn rimmed glasses. And most of them probably don't even need glasses lol. It's just annoying, 1 out of every 3 of them are all wearing those same ugly glasses.

People who try to be more sophisticated than normal, trendy people by following eccentric and obscure trends. They concentrate in bohemian urban areas.

They might be annoying due their snobbery but their mostly harmless. I really don't get the hate they get.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I don't deny not being a hipster.

A hipster who thinks weed should stay illegal.

Ha! That's a new one.

 

[LOBO3315a]

I don't remember saying I thought it should stay illegal. I also don't remember saying I'm a hipster. That statement was just a bad attemp at humor.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I'm definitely not a hipster: I am proud to be a *****e.

A 20-year-old, wearing tighter jeans than his girlfriend, overly-sized-horn-rimmed glasses, some sort of black "non-conforming" sneakers. . . and then my favorite. . . a t-shirt of either a superhero he knows nothing about, or a cartoon that was most popular when he wasn't even an itch in his daddy's pants - oh. . that he also knows nothing about.


How do I know this? I live in a college town and have been known to quiz these little bastards on the t-shirt.

"Name the two little kids in Thundercats?" . . . "Lion-o is the leader. . . "
"Other than Hal Jordan, or the other earth-lanterns, name three?" . . . "Killo. . . Willo. . . kog??. . ."


And of course my two favorite(s): What is Superman's real name and/or who killed Batman's parents?"


"I got you on this one. . . Clark and the Joker."



"Take off the shirt, get the **** out of here. . . NOW!!!"

Fact. I have seen him do this.

I think I recall him telling a cute girl to take her Batman shirt off once as well......but I think she PASSED the quiz.

 

[mrvlknight21]

HOWEVER - why I say NOT to take a chance in this fun. . . because that is how I met my girlfriend. She's not full blown hipster - even though I poke fun - but she also knows her ****, so it's cool if she wears a Harley shirt with suspenders and tight jeans. She even does a decent Harley voice.

Pics or it didnt happen.

In Enlgand these "hipsters" are the same people who I remember used to be into there crappy pop and used to mock me and my friends for liking rock, etc, now it's fashionable. Ooh guess which obscure bands that no-ones likes but hipsters like because it's not "mainstream" - Simple put hipsters will die out in about 10 years and jump on the next trend that magazines tell them to follow.
