OUIGI THEODORE, the founder of the Brooklyn Circus, a retro-urban fashion boutique and label, has heard it all before: dandy, preppy, Anglophile, fop. Still, he was flummoxed when a customer walked into his boutique a year ago, took one look at the bow ties and straw boaters for sale, and declared it the height of “steampunk.”

For some reason I imagine this being said by a victorian man -- "I declare this the very height of steampunk!"

Are hipsters the new yuppies? I hear nothing but kvetching about hipsters, but yet everyone kind of seems to want to be one.

I had an unironic tantrum about seeing some of my coworkers try and transform into hipsters over the past year. I think I said something to the effect of: "DAMNIT, I'VE BEEN A WEIRDO FREAK SINCE 1992 AND I'VE PAID MY DUES... " blah blah blah. I said this all to myself, but I was sincerely annoyed. I think I've moved on since then.

so steampunk is like having a curly moustache... then dyeing it purple?

carles II of spain (max arrrrrgh), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:41 (thirteen years ago) link

ah the hipster transformation. annoying.

cocklamoose (chrisv2010), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:41 (thirteen years ago) link

it reminds me of when all the kids decided to turn grunge overnight in junior high.

homosexual II, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:42 (thirteen years ago) link

nice try mormons, that skater's wearing flares!

carles II of spain (max arrrrrgh), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:44 (thirteen years ago) link

i was in high school in the grunge era, always fascinating to see the high school QB suddenly wearing red dr marten boots.

cocklamoose (chrisv2010), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link

and then getting mocked.

cocklamoose (chrisv2010), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link

ah, the old "you called siamese dream faggot music, and now you're getting all rat in a cage, fuck you" moment

goole, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:51 (thirteen years ago) link

and then you see him at your 15 year high school reunion and he weighs 350lbs and smells of beef.

cocklamoose (chrisv2010), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:53 (thirteen years ago) link

and you mock him.

cocklamoose (chrisv2010), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:53 (thirteen years ago) link

sk8 or tithe

old man yells at cloud computing (am0n), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:55 (thirteen years ago) link

and then you think, all that sex he had in high school will never be taken away from him

and you find peace

no really tho the guy's an asshole

goole, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:56 (thirteen years ago) link

of course doing this made me an elitist or i guess a "hipster" in 1992?

and to be honest i probably had more sex then he did in high school. chicks be digging the long hair and lemonheads bro.

cocklamoose (chrisv2010), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:57 (thirteen years ago) link

nice try mormons, that skater's wearing flares!

otm. in my experience, the hip christians always have something a little ...off about their style that makes them uncool

minecraft on a milk sea (diamonddave85), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 21:00 (thirteen years ago) link

skateboarding isnt particularly cool thinking skateboarding is cool isnt cool trying to make yr uncool church seem cool by associating it w/skateboarding is really uncool and not bothering to wonder if anyone really wants coolness from a church in the first place is also uncool

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 21:06 (thirteen years ago) link

The United States' concept of justifiable homicide in criminal law stands on the dividing line between an excuse, justification and an exculpation. In other words, it takes a case that would otherwise have been a murder or another crime representing intentional killing, and either excuses or justifies the individual accused from all criminal liability or treats the accused differently from other intentional killers.

max, Thursday, 24 March 2011 20:46 (thirteen years ago) link

it's basically a larger version of the "tent art" that was really trendy in the mid-2000s

sarahel, Thursday, 24 March 2011 21:04 (thirteen years ago) link

listen though, if everyone jumped off the hill to roll and build a fort would you leap to regain your sense of childlike wonder
