    People who wear gaudy and neon-coloured clothing, pork-pie hats, thick-framed glasses and skinny jeans. They also smoke rollies.

    Are you not mixing them up with cunts? :confused:

    Here's a pretty good explanation of what to expect from Hipsters only with Bears instead of people.

    The hipster can usually be found wearing pinstripes or corduroy and in early life like can be heard shouting phrases like "Stop boggarting my doobie!" and "I was only offering the young lady a lift officer!"

    In later years, the hipster tries to boost his career by shouting racial slurs upon a stage which later appear on YouTube.

    For examples, see Michael Richards a.k.a. Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld

    Same thing, stovelid, same thing.

    They also lack a sense of humour. The test for finding this out is asking what the funniest film they've ever seen is. If it's a comedy film, you're not talking to a hipster. If it's an old, bad, serious film they watch to laugh at ironically, you are talking to a hipster.

    Hipsters provide a great social outlet, they are universally hated. Something we can all crowd around and beat with sticks!

    I fcuking hate their forced irony, really really annoys me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Arent they just a type of trousers :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    They are trousers,that only go to the hips.


    Arent they?:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,736 ✭✭✭OctavarIan


    Upper middle class people in their late teens to late twenties who want to feel individual and against the system, however because they lack any kind of individualness, talent or vision they resort to a bunch of cultural cliches instead, unaware that they're still part of the system only they're entering through the back passage instead of the front.

    You could thank him, and then, unthank him. That'd show him.

    Pretty sure they are. I was going to say this must be a Dublin thing, but then you should know!

    If anyone knows the film Clueless, are they like the guy whom Alicia Silverstone really fancies but it turns out he's gay?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke


    They've been defined by me by a few girls I know. If all I know is true they only need death. Don't really know what they are, but the pictures I've seen mean castration and hanging,

    That could be applied to a lot of groups who hang out in Dublin 2 on a Saturday afternoon - most prominently emo.

    The emo buzz seems to have died down a fair bit there though, i remember a few years back that place would be crawling with them standing around talking about how much they hate their parents.

    Hipsters (or scenesters)-

    "Arty" types (generally consider themselves intellectuals), wear clothes simmilar to those found in topman, no taste in music and just listen to whatever is percieved as cool (can't be mainstream). In fact they just generally try to hop on trends much more than the average person.

    Good place to go hipster spotting:

    Trinity arts block.

    Yeah exactly, the point I was making was that the hipsters perceived individualness is non-existent :) The whole point of being hipster is to be anti-mainstream, but to be part of a clique is to be part of mainstream society.
