is "date a hipster" the new makeoutclub or whatever that site was?
― I, rrational (mh), Friday, 12 April 2013 19:27 (eleven years ago) link
Makeoutclub actually had very little to do with making out with anybody AFAICT
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 12 April 2013 19:40 (eleven years ago) link
I can't remember if that is what I am thinking of or a different site. Something with the emos posting their intense-looking pictures and personal-type info

i bet date a hipster is one of those weird marketing sites that collects your personal information and sells it to an affiliate. a hipster affiliate.

Xposts that was MOC, yup. There was also Lipstickparty, same deal. But it was closer in spirit to like the livejournal/diaryland emo/weirdo community-building thing than a dating site as such. I think you basically could have one photo and a blurb/blog/.plan, and you couldn't really narrow down searches or do any kind of matching.

Are we talking about Hipsters, or "Hipsters"?
Hipsters, as in, the people who read Pitchfork, go to ATP and listen to bands that most people genuinely haven't heard of, or the people who spend their lives tweeting about how much they love Arctic Monkeys and Nandos?
― Slash N Burn, Saturday, 13 April 2013 00:58 (eleven years ago) link
MOC is more notable for being proto-friendster than proto-OKC

man, i really thought those hipsters with the mason jars were gonna get out of here without asking me if i had any townes van zandt records, but blammo right as they were leaving they had to do it. luckily i kept them from getting violent by selling them a gram parsons record instead.

not really new i guess but i have just noticed that people sometimes carry mason jars around in lieu of a water bottle. in their backpacks, in the sports webbing, i guess. hope they don't bump into anything hard
― 乒乓, Saturday, 14 September 2013 15:30 (ten years ago) link
my neighborhood artisanal coffeeshop has been selling mason jars turned into 'water bottles' by an ARTIST
even worse they are the little kind, like who ever wanted to carry around a cup (1 c) of water

mason jars are what suffice for drinking glasses in my house. didn't realize it was a thing among the hipsters. just thought it was hillbilly.

Using a mason jar as a flask - esp. at clubs with overpriced drinks - has been something I've done since 2009.

why? so I don't have to buy the overpriced drinks, so I can drink booze from home and save $.
it isn't like i go out and buy the mason jars though - i have them already.

i imagine that mason jars have become more popular with the rise of pickling and homesteader/locavore food culture

Close friends of mine are heavily into a similar-sounding church in London. I have strong feelings about it all but I've never quite managed to articulate them without sounding like a sneering fuckhead.

Oh yeah and you can hardly blame them for trying to expand their appeal and be ~relevant~ and all. But like
"Our carols are way cooler than you've experienced," Lentz says. A visitor is "more likely to hear Mariah Carey ... than carols by candlelight."
― sktsh, Monday, 30 December 2013 16:48 (ten years ago) link
When my friend was first getting into this stuff you could see he was pretty excited about finding this place where he fit in and could socialise with people who felt the same way as him (he'd been brought up pretty religious and moved away from it in his twenties) and it was pretty great to see, but it got really annoying that he couldn't talk about it without appending a big 72pt asterisk. Like "yeah, it's called church buuuuut everyone swears and drinks and has tats and is a subeditor for the observer style pages and therefore I'm not the object of scorn for doing this that I apparently feel I would be if i were going to a normal church".

Is ironic detachment still necessary to hipster status? Because if so, church is way too sincere to ever be truly "hipster." You can't ironically have faith.
