Do you know any hipsters in real life?

Sh1tbag OToole

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

You're picking up on this wrong.

A hipster doesn't drink craft beer because they thought they'd go out and maybe taste different beers after consuming Diagio stuff for years. Many people do that and they're not hipsters.

No, a hipster drinks craft beer because they feel like that's what they should be doing to fit into their chosen hipster lifestyle.

The fixie bikes, the whole term 'foodie', the craft beer, skinny jeans, oversized glasses, 'gentrification', it's all part of one overall fashion/culture statement.

People do all these things individually as they enjoy them. But if you get an individual who does all of them, in an almost religious, unquestioning way, it does make you wonder...

Exactly. There's a sense of self-importance to them and how they carry themselves when they engage in such activities. To us regular folk there's nothing special about drinking craft beer but they need to make sure everyone knows they're drinking craft beer.

the hatred is just jealousy from cloistered shut-ins

Why is it never possible to criticize the ridiculous without someone accusing you of 'jealousy'?

There is a dope living in my apartment complex, who looks like an anorectic gay lumberjack on acid.

I've never seen such a miserable-looking wretch. I met him dragging his bike up the stairwell the other day, and was divided over whether to throw him some change, or push him and put him out of his misery. I reckon he blows his dole on a diet of Complan and craft beer.

Many of us find hipsters bemusing, trend-following, or just ridiculous. But by all means, live and let live. It would be quite wrong to confuse this with jealousy.

Ditto for "hatred". It seems that these days there is no middle ground - you must either love or hate something, leaving no room for "meh" or "what?" :rolleyes:

I will happily admit to some Hipster tendencies, particularly when it comes to beer. My tastes in music and film might be called Hipster, except I've had them since before they were remotely fashionable. (Is King Crimson a Hipster band? Maybe.) But I don't dress in a particularly Hipster way. I've worn specs since I was age 10, nothing affected or ironic about that.

Yes, plenty.

I first encountered hipsters in secondary school during the mid 80s.
Some of them haven't changed.

Well there was the guy who would rave to everybody who'd listen about this new album he discovered. It was Brian Eno's Another Green World.

Then someone told him that Phil Collins drummed on it, so he got rid of it and never mentioned it again.

Wherever you've been on holidays , they find it a bit touristy and have been somewhere a further mikes away that is way nicer and off the beaten path.

Bonus marks if it's a place that's hard to pronounce

Oh god I'm one of them :pac:

I wouldn't drink anything other than craft beers if given the chance, once I tried I couldn't go back...

keeponhurling

Craft beers are too mainstream for me.

I like to keep it old school and retro by drinking pints of stout

I know one bloke who could be a hipster, has the beard, is on the McGregor bandwagon despite hating MMA a while back, DJ's in places in town, introduces himself by his first and middle name, protests everything on facebook and only on facebook, and does the whole strange food thing.

I think he's just an ar*ehole though.

The dj-ing in places in town is definitely the most atrocious of the lot - the wanker! :mad:

First they came for the hipsters,
and I did not speak out.

The Simpsons has been crap for so, so long, but that episode excellently sums up what hipsters are and it's not just lazily throwing together a definition, the homework is really done.

Garage Bar in Dublin is horrendous. Wood chippings on the floor, furniture made out of metal barrels, and a TV showing old black and white films.
