Are hipsters taking over?

jimpump

It seems like theyre absolutely everywhere at the moment. Dunno what are worse, them or skangers

Scar Tissue

I'd link you all to the "Being a dickhead's cool" video, but unfortunately, it's way too mainstream now..

Here we go again, another person jumping on the "I hate hipsters" bandwagon. Personally I've hated them for years, long before it was fashionable to do so. It's starting to get a bit tiresome now that it's become so commonplace. The early years of hipster hating were far better.

Not one persons the same:rolleyes:

Stop judging people on their choice of clothes or musical preferences op.

I hated hipsters before it was cool.

It's ok though this doctor says it's normal.

Cavehill Red

I'll believe it when we have TD's with Victorian moustaches cutting taxes on handcrafted cocktails.

Are they modern day punks?

Eventually, being ironic will become ironic, ending the hipster cycle.

I don't know what a hipster is. I thought they were those jeans that sit so low your knickers are showing

I was using limewire back in 06. The modern day hipsters used to get me to make CDs for them. I was very wrong then, I now champion the physical copies of recordings. I'll do the exact opposite even if that means reverting. I'm a traditionalist now..

A hispter would have written that sentence with a question mark at the end.

You can imagine that little inflection, the plea for validation...

It's the death of taste... (takes drag from camel cigarette and resumes watching foreign language movie about people struggling with their ordinary existence).

It's a great paradox. As hipsters continue to take over they will reach a point where they will become 'mainsteam' and thus, cease to be hipsters.

I offer classes on this twice a week.

You mean it'll eventually become cool & trendy to have genuine opinions on things & to wear jeans that don't cut off circulation to your nads? I can't wait!

The main thing that bothers me about "hipsters" is the price of converse and vans runners have sky rocketed cause of em!

You can buy cheap imitation converse in Dunnes, I'm wearing a pair at the moment. I did invest in a pair of flair styles in the summer on a trip to Venice at heavy cost. They only get outing on special occasions though. :pac:

Lies. No-one has ever paid to ride ya.

To be fair to the feckers, at least they take more care of how they dress. The only other kids I see are wearing tracksuits and spitting everywhere.

py2006

I never fully understood what a hipster actually was?

Can somebody spell it in dummy English for me?

Some pretty great bands/music have come out of hipsters though.

Give it a rest. There's probably one or two on Wexford st. I was home for Xmas and all I saw was people in grey cloth tracksuits, I'd rather look at trendy people than that lot tbh.

Geri Male

Can we have examples of hipsters in Irish media / music circuit?

I think you're a bit confused about what a hipster is.

Think 1950's working class America with stupid moustaches. On the girls too.

Edit: Or 40's even, I can't keep up... Or back?

What's funny is 6 years ago or so everyone was bitching about emos. In another 6 years time people will be bitching about something else.

I always thought hipsters were jazz fans in the 50s.

CianRyan

The emos are now the hipsters. They just move with what ever trend there is.
I was guilty of this but gladly I've copped on.

Standman

I'd describe a hipster as a gobshite who dresses like a knob because it's the current "cool and underground" way to be. They aren't doing it to express themselves, they are doing it to be part of some kind of posse and to get hot women who also think it's "cool and underground".

I'm pretty sure skangers are a lot worse, ffs.

What a useless thread. OP stop being bad at posting :mad:

Damn those hipsters with their big money and their long cigarettes.

i think the line between hipster and skangers is getting blurred. know loads of skanger type lads who wear "hipster clothes" on nights out now.

Not quite, they are linked to Jimmy Savile and Freddie Hamstar though. Danger stranger danger

barry181091

Actually, OT, I really hate the 'Mumford and Sons' style. It annoys me so much that these cnuts come out on stage/interviews etc in these 'Grapes of Wrath' period clothes, when you know full well its all bollox and they have no interest in dressing like that day to day, just because it 'fit' with the theme of the music.

Hang on a second, I can get hot women by dressing like hipsters?

Sold!

They'll be hipster women though. So they'll probably wreak your head with stupid hipster nonsense before you get anywhere with them.

AnonoBoy

Republic of Telly have done a sketch about 'hipsters'?

That's it, it's officially terribly uncool to complain about them now.

Although this is the best description I've heard of what a hipster actually is:

"Hipsters are artsy kids who aren't actually good at art."

Madam_X

The hipster hating bandwagon jumping (by people who probably aren't fully sure what a hipster is, since it's pretty ambiguous) annoys me way more than a bunch of teenagers/20 somethings thinking they're alternative, which is nothing new.

Being annoyed by people being annoyed by hipsters?

That's pretty hipster, you'd want to be careful.
