Dear Hipsters

God I want a Deus ex Machina so bad!

 

Spent the weekend in Raleigh touring museums and micro breweries... Hipsters on fixies. watched one crash his 500 dollar fixie pulling into Crank Arms
Explanation of why I'm touring museums and micro breweries. I have a German foreign exchanged student living with me.
But... I own a Fixie: great work out.
I love craft beers But drink PBR and Rolling Rock because of budget restrictions.
I love skinny jeans and I have a long full beard and my girl/guy friend (not sure) knitted my cap. JK on last line.
Slam danced at Winston Salem Fuzz Fest... Lotso Hipsters again... Hipsters don't slam dance and don't catch you if you stage dive...

 

Exactly, I could care less about what they do out of the water, but I detest the idea of them infiltrating lineups.

Yo cakedinri that was quite the haiku

only hipsters play soccer...and i think most call it "football"

I don't give a f@ck what they call it in Europe. In America, it's called soccer and I'm taking the game back from the hipsters and using them for the ball. Seldom, A hipster in the Barrens would last as long as Ned Beatty in the Deliverance. If you haven't seen it, Google it, it's Sandblasters' favorite movie.

 

Read this whole thread. Totally the best reading...EVER!!
I knew it was only a matter of time till someone made a comment about the "hipsters being gay" post. haha typical.
Just blew 20 mins reading this.....gotta get back to work! Great job!

This is the advertisement on this page as i type. No wonder mr. swellinfo is an apologist for hipsters!!

 

whats worse: Jimmy vegas crew 'babes n waves, n waffle fries' genre or hipsters like the one in the pic from backside hacks posting? \

and if your not hipster or part of a discerning style what do you call yourself? I feel like I fall in the genre of people called "cerebrals", we make decisions based around fact and function instead of the emotional culture driven look and feel. for example, I have three pairs of shorts and they all work the same, loose fitting, durable, car hart, never skinny nor form fitting.

 

27th ave hommie

get some

 

I'm sure there is one of these types of threads floating around the internet about the stereotyped surfer...

 

You serious? You haven't seen Idiocracy?

 

We don't need a stereotype thread, as we already have a video.

 

Yep, haha, thats what I had in mind!

 

Wow, them be fightin' words. This thread reminds me of my high school days when people thought the clothes you wore defined who you are. And bullies would prey on any weakness. Petty shallow generalizations, posturing, and brandishing, which is totally natural for adolescents and a big milestone to overcome on the path to mature adulthood.

If you are over the age of 14 and still feeding into this, check yourself. The world is full of individuals and despite how they dress or how they look, they each have their own story, their own personality, their own habits, their own skills, and their own redeeming or offensive qualities. Don't perpetuate the hate cycle. Go catch some waves, enjoy your life, make some friends, and make the lives of those around you better for having known you.

And there ends my attempt at being an anti-troll.

 

^^^hipster??????

 

No...wiki'd it...thinking I'll put it on my list to watch

 

As far as the Hipster sh*t goes... I have a distaste for it also. But it's not new, and it's not any more offensive than any of the other uniform wearing bozos.

Are skinny jeans, beards, cafe-racers and fixies really different than the the Doc-Martens, band shirts, leather jackets and mohawks seen at punk rock shows?

Or what about the well-helled 'skateboarders' donning 'Supreme' hats and $130 special-edition Nike high top skate sneakers to invite-only skate industry events?

What about the surfer who shows up at the break with a nice car, beautiful mini-simmons, brand new boardies, and Patagonia wettie, only to ride every wave straight into the shore like a crash-test dummy?

What about the guy who is always wrenching on stuff, is covered in tattoos, spends a ton of money on manly cars and guns, and a ton of time on an internet forum?

This sh*t is nothing new people; bozos, posers, wannabes- whatever you want to call them, have always existed. They were part of the package that came with the Greasers, the Beats, the Hippies, the Punks, the BUFU Wiggers and Dubstep Ravers, and even the good 'ole Southern boys and intellectually proud Northerners.

The notable difference with the Hipsters is that they are less specifically aligned with any particular cultural or political movement than some of their forebears. Formerly, people who dressed as punks spent a lot of time at punk rock shows. People who dressed as hippies spent a lot of time at Phish shows. People who dressed as Beats spent a lot of time at poetry readings. Skateboarders spent time skating, and surfers spent time at the beach, SURFING.

This is largely a product of the de-regionalization of cultural consumption; a seed planted by radio, watered by television, and Monsanto-fertilized by the internet.

People no longer explore the local punk scene by visiting venues, the local skate scene by skating spots, or the local surf scene by surfing at the beach. They see that people are going to punk shows on Facebook. They don't have to make their own band-specific leather jacket to make an impact on the scene- because the scene is no longer about the bands. Or the music. It's about looking cool and being who you want to be. It's about being an empowered Gen-Z'er.

No one is going to tell me to f*ck off when I show up wearing my ironic varsity jacket, because there is no place to show up wearing it. I am going to post a picture on Instagram, where only my friends will see it. I will only look at their fashions. I will only go to the shows they invite me to electronically. And when I arrive, I will look like everyone else, unnoticeable except for my aroma, the subtle hints of aged oak that only a small batch cologne could offer, setting me apart from the cloud of Axe body spray.

 

Slashdog, This is worthy of actual publishing! I kid you not... Well Written.

WOW YOU dont know how adds work do you hipster?

Also, live4truth I am glad I could broaden your horizons, you are welcome. maybe now you dont need a ladder for your smug high horse, come off it already

 

I was listening to an album called Smash by The Offspring the other day following my sesh...2 hipsters started talking trash on it...they were listening to house music and had a car decked out in surf stickers...see that a lot around here. A very tolerant group...I drove like a grandma in front of them since they were in a hurry. If I made you late on Monday afternoon in VB...sorry. It was their fault and I decided to be a selfish American and inconvenience them since I am so important.

When I saw those neon glasses, accompanying the trash, I just freakin lost it man. I thought they were sarcastic, but no they made it clear to me. A nut grab always works too. That's right, I am going 90's hoodrat yo'. I want FUBU to come out with a wetsuit and I will wear it.

"Yo, check out dude in that killer wesuit bro."

"Yeah man, its like, so colorful and non-conformist since FUBU isn't cool any more. I'm gonna go buy one."

FUBU wetsuits will be fantastic. WHY? Because that's all about attitude, right? Isn't surfing about attitude? I hear people say that all the time. I want the FUBU wetsuit. Who like FUBU wetsuits? Let's demand the FUBU wetsuits

 

Great point! I was just at a conference on the changing face of retail in the internet age and how to attract millennials. They would have eaten that 2nd paragraph up (in a good way).
