Are most people on after hours former/current or would be hipsters?

gormdubhgorm

Just reading a lot of the threads I get the impression that I should grow a beard, buy one of those smurf woolly hats (no matter what the weather) and get a pair of skinny jeans...

It just seems to after hours has that "vibe" to me.

Maybe there should be a transitional forum where I can slowly graduate to the Auld ones and Auld fellas forum instead?:D

Think AHers are more the hand wringers and even some 'wont someone think of the children!' types.

I said a hip hop, hippie to the hippie, the hip hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it, to the bang bang boogie, say up jump the boogie, to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat.

Curses, I only win on glasses. Not sure how to tell if they're proper geek or just "crap, I can't see" glasses. Oh well, I spend quite a lot of time on O&O anyway.

Ugly shoes also seem to be a female hipster accessory

Dont be confusing limp wristed bleeding heart liberals with ignorant but 'right on' hipsters. The insult to both parties!

I hated hipsters before it was popular to hate hipsters, it's so passé these days........

I've worn a beard of the ZZ Top variety for the last 2+ decades...fúcking hipsters stealing our beards :mad:

I was strolling around Dublin last week. Two observations: we've reached peak pulled pork, most beards are hideous looking things that make their owner look like a sinister vagrant.

fizzypish

I have facial hair but not maintained in any way.
I have a fixie bike but live in the Netherlands.
I'm not trendy but have odd fashion sense: Wore boots, shorts, a Hawaiian shirt and an aussie wide rimmed hat to the pub on Saturday.
****, I think I'm a purchase of a tube of hair gel and a comb away from being full blown hipster.
I don't own skinny jeans or understand them. Does that save me?

Stheno

What's a hipster?

Why did the hipster burn his mouth?

Because he sipped his coffee before it was cool.

cloud493

I have no facial hair, I don't own a pair of skinny jeans, the most I ever do with my hair is maybe wash it a few times a week, and my standard outfit outside of work is some sort of pokemon/taylor swift t shirt with jeans and trainers.

It's mad how growing beards is a sign of "manliness" by 8 stone programmers with weak chins and little boy faces.

The whole site is full of lilly livered, Bible bashing, pc brigade preaching, desperate to be offended hippies

Me too. Every ****er has one now, and most don't even have the growth for a decent one.

Yes, and whenever it falls out of fashion, I'll still have one.

Most unhip...

Boards was better when it was quake.ie. Now it's too mainstream.

I glue my pubes onto my face to mimic a beard, does that make me hip, you damn right bitch!

Pubes come from close to the hip so your not wrong.

Absolutely. They seem to associate having a scraggy beard with deluded ideas about how macho it is, and how it bestows on them additional ‘testicular fortitude’.

You grow a beard by not shaving. That isn’t exactly difficult. You could suggest that lathering up with a good shaving soap and badger hair brush, before getting an extremely close shave with a new double edge razor blade is way more ‘manly’ than some grotesque mash of ginger hair hanging off your chin and jaw.

I like the cut of your scuttle Aongus, a good DE wet-shave is most manly indeed.
However, I have that manly shave about once a week, so end up looking like I'm on the way to hipster beard-dom regularly.

Where do i fit in, where

I don't often care much about what is currently fashionable or what people do, but those gigantic unkempt Ronnie Drew beards being sported on otherwise fey, student types in their 20s......

Computer says no.
