The only problem I have with hipsters is..

lufties

Well to be fair I'm probably a bit of a 'hipster' myself in ways. To me(someone living in London), having visited shoreditch and the like which is supposedly a hipster paradise,I feel hipsterism has become a paradox of sorts, It's fundamental ideal being free expression. It seems its just become about fashion statement- beards, skinny jeans being a uniform etc...

It kind of reminds me of the hippies I met in Goa with iphones :cool:

So you have a beard, have a side parting with a sideways quiff and wear clothes more suited for someone 20yrs your junior...imagine that.

Hande hoche!

I've a cousin thats doing fashion in Dublin so she's turned into a complete hipster. Speaks with a very convincing Californian accent and denies all knowledge of Roscommon and it's going ons. I'm allergic to her and refuse to converse with her while she speaks with the ridiculous accent.

The Christmas drinks entertainment will be what she'll wear. Last year it was the check chef pants that she swore was high fashion. Got quare looks at communion time on Xmas morning.

You'll find them all over Trinity's campus wearing plaid lumberjack shirts, skinny jeans and some goofy luminous pair of sunglasses and saying the word "Random" a lot to sound quirky and interesting. When really they'd bore the arse off you!

I hate hipsters - they drag down around your ar5e. I prefer straight-cuts, you don't rely on the belt so much.

It is to het eternal credit that she denies all knowledge of Roscommon. No one goes to communion on Xmas morning except the elderly.

The definition of hipster has gone all over the place. Nowadays if someone looks a bit different it's automatically a 'hipster'

This is a hipster. It's an extreme form of wankerism.

What's with all the recent hatred for hipsters on here?

I hated them before it was cool.

What specifically makes that guy a hipster? It's a guy with a beard. Ok waistcoat but that's not very out there.

Most generations since the war have had youth sub-cultures. The last ten years have seen fewer sub cultures than ever.

Call Me Jimmy

Surely the exposure that the hipster scene has gotten means it can't last long? Onto the next thing? I think the beard bubble is gonna collapse in the new year (sporting a version myself at the mo)

a person.

Are hipsters still a thing in Ireland ? They are so 2005.

Hipsters turned into models? Back in my day they didn't look like that, they have evolved :pac:

Premiership Footballers and Neds in general have co-opted the look, which probably means it ain't going to be around for much longer.

Did you hear about the hipster who burned his tongue?
He wanted to drink his soup before it was cool

whats wrong with looking normal with fitted clothing and without a beard?

I hear thats the way we're heading

Back in the day hipsters where know as geeks,nerds.
Since when did wearing glasses and a bum fluff beard become cool?

Yeah i was thinking that. This look would have been derided a few years back.

Real Life

The problem i have is i don't consider myself to be a hipster but many others see me that way.
I have a beard, wear skinny jeans, work in the design industry, collect vinyl records, have a macbook. pretty much all I'm missing is the glasses.

Im still saying I'm not really a hipster though

Only thing worse than hipsters is boggers.

A bogger hipster is like some sort of Stephen King nightmare.

The multi coloured boots are hilarious these days, what happened to black British Umbros. Could you imagine guys like Chopper Harris playing in what they wear today.

A salt of the earth hipster :P

'Oh my god, have you guys heard of this coffee shop its so random and quirky its a bit off the beaten path not like starbucks such a great discovery of mine'

Don't all hipsters look the same though? Skinny jeans, pointy shoes, shirts done up to the top button, glasses optional.

I'd have more put that look down to the 'lads' myself. They seem to be the ones growing beards and wearing tight jeans with the full shirt buttoned up these days.

Hipster to me have always been strange haircuts, quirky retro clothes, moustache, glasses etc

The only picture of a hipster posted here had none of that except the done up shirt which can't be the only definition of hipster or businessmen would be hipster.

Its ill defined.

I thought the lumberjack look was the new "thing" - "Lumbersexuals"...beards, checks and blockiness.

Oops69

Not only do they love their hair and beard , they love showing off getting the clone look done for hours in big picture windows in these new hipster barber shops popping up all over the place ....bunch of girls .
