Anyone noticed skangers have taken the hipster look on?

McGreggor hipsters drink what's on tap.

OP what hipster have you seen that wear snapbacks and tracksuit bottoms? Hipster wear the total opposite

I do think skangers are finally retiring short back, top and sides. I went to a Barbers in the north inner city and he said they are doing less short hair cuts.

Lord I came into this thread a bit worried it was going to be how I dressed.
Hipster scumbag, hmm. Anything is better than the white socks with the bottoms tucked in. Even skinny tracksuit pants

djflawless · 07-03-2016 07:26AM

What the hell are snapbacks?

Pinch Flat · 07-03-2016 08:12AM

Was in a night club in Waterford over Christmas - looked around to see two identical mcgregors standing behind me. Man buns, beards and cheap top man 3 piece suits.

It takes one class of a bellend to go out dressed like him, but two of them? That's skangers for ya.

They appear to be some sort of hat. (I had to Google it)

Yep, I did a Google image search. They look to me like NY Yankee baseball cap types. Never knew they were referred to as snapbacks but there ya go.

From further research I think the difference between them is a snapbacks size can be adjusted whilst a baseball hat is fitted and can't be adjusted. There all baseball hats to me.

Shoot me down in flames if ye will, but I have a soft spot for the male hipsters various looks as a general thing. Not for me as such, but what I like about it as a fashion is that it's far less classist and ageist than most previous fashions. Like when hippies were the in thing it was very much a white, young middle class thing. There were no old hippies when it was current. Same with punk when it came along(The only kinda similar "look" that was a broad enough church were/are the Goth types). Today you can have Black, Asian, whatever you're having yourself hipsters and they can be 17 or 60+ year olds, from college campus or council estate, or both. I like that about it.

Likewise, I didn't actually know there was a difference tbh. I didn't investigate further, I figured doing an image search was far enough

I'm not sure I agree. I don't remember the hippie or punk eras but they were probably more diverse than the pictorial depictions that survive. Plus I'm not sure the hipster look is as racially diverse as you're suggesting. I'm only going on what I see in town, rather than media representations, and it seems confined to white people.

ETA: I'm talking about Dublin here; I've seen hipsters in NYC, Ldn and Oz but I wouldn't have been there long enough to get a proper handle on the scene.

I'm not sure hipsters stand up to being compared to hippies or punks as those movements were underpinned by distinct philosophies that set them apart from the mainstream. Hippies: peace n love. Punks: anarchy, anti-establishment. What do hipsters believe in?

The bang of popped collars and hairspray is overwhelming in this thread.
