Do you know any hipsters in real life?

Sh1tbag OToole · 15-10-2014 09:41PM #1

If you do, what is the most hipster-ish thing you seen them do? I don't know any hipsters personally, but I used to know people who I suspect have turned into hipsters. Of course they only associate with the 'in-crowd' which is why I'm no longer in contact with them. That and the fact that they don't really do communication outside of Facebook and whatever proprietary chat system Apple are using these days which I'm not on.

I am curious about real life experiences with hipsters and how to gain some more hipster cred myself

Proceed cautiously.

Start with mild stubble and a bottle (not pint) of Smithwicks.

Gradually get used to drinking it with the label turned away.

At some point you will be approached with further advice.

Hipster jokes are so 2010.

What are we defining as a hipster these days?

I think I saw one yesterday. He was wearing a straight legged pants in a very becoming burgandy colour, a gingham type shirt,pointy toed shoes and...a bow tie.

Do you think he was one?

Most hipster types you see nowadays are just clones of each other.
I am lucky enough to know a few genuinely off-beat & original people. I wouldn't insult them by calling them hipsters.

BTW I am not very off-beat or original. I don't have a beard & dont ride a 80's 5 speed racer either.

Anyone you don't like.

Only what your typical AH type would consider a hipster. Don't know any proper hipsters.

Know a lad from school who was very quite but now has the stretched ears, tattoos everywhere neck hands and also a split tongue.

Terrible look IMO but each to there own as they say.

No, don't think so. Too old I'd say. They're most under 25 I assume.

It's difficult to tell.

He might have been a "non-hipster" but you caught him on his day off.

I am such a hipster that just knowing me is enough to make you a hipster

Now there's a blast from the past if there ever was one

MistyCheese · 15-10-2014 10:28PM

Back at school, in the 90s, the most popular girl in our year had a pair of hipsters and everyone thought they were sooo cool.

Don't you undermine my identity! The struggle is real!

No, but whenever I see a "fixie" bike in Dublin centre, I immediately think "hipster". There are good reasons why bikes have gears and brakes, people ...

Not wearing boot cut jeans.

DoYouEvenLift · 15-10-2014 10:58PM

Some hipster girls look hot...and then you talk to them and that's the end of that.

Pumpkinseeds · 15-10-2014 11:00PM

Nope, I don't know any hipsters, I don't really notice them. It's one of the great things about getting older, like music snobbery, you just ignore it and leave it to others.
