"Hipster" as pejorative.

online etymology dictionary identifies 'hippie' as originally being a pejorative form of 'hipster'

I was in a bookstore last night and saw the Look at that F*ing Hipster coffee-table book, with the cover photo of a guy with tattoos, holding a baby and a cellphone, and was trying to figure out why this guy was an object of ridicule in 2010 in the way that the guy on the cover of Lawyers in Love was an object of ridicule in 1983.

narcissism of small differences?

I don't think this ever got posted?

tl;abouthipsters;dr

sort of hoping nabisco will pop in and eviscerate that stupid article

jesus, glad I don't live in new york.

from the sound of this article, thousands of Thriller style zombie hipster armies are in the streets of Brooklyn with machine guns trying to destroy each other.

Where I live, neither hippie nor hipster is a pejorative, just a descriptive, and there are plenty of each.

i do think it's possible to use this term without much of a pejorative connotation. i mean, living in a college town it serves well to designate a certain subset of the student body. not that there aren't huge grey areas.

His haircut may be asymmetrical, but his dog never misses a walk.

asymmetrical haircut

fuckin hipsters

ironic bling

those are assymetrical hair-stylings the hair is prolly cut pretty symmetrically iirc

what if they have asymmetrical butt haircuts

corporate buzzcuts

the fact that they're framing the argument as cool vs hip is telling. seems like to the author the ultimate cool dude would be some anarchist with a symmetrical haircut, squatting in an abandoned loft and neglecting his dog. i never would have thought people who have pretty much normal lives but still like art and music and having fun could be so reviled.

yeah the walking the dog bit really stuck out for me as ?

I didn't read the article, which is probably stupid, but sometimes when you pair things together, like coolness and domesticity, you get life-sized aporia, or it seems to me. If the Fonz has a little puppy, he has to walk him, but the Fonz knows that's not cool. And it's funny to some people.

UGH I just found out I was sort of on Look At This Fucking Hipster :(
In the same photograph I was on Hipster Runoff in :( :(

The first post, with my friend Darren (with whom they have this really dumb BEEEAAAAAANNNNS meme).

worst website

I KNOW PLZ GET ME OFF OF IT

I saw that awhile back and thought that it looked like noted ILX poster Stevie D.

i feel like that website is written by someone's 15 year old brother

I feel like you might be giving it a bit too much credit. Reminds me of that old Fat Chicks in Party Hats site, only worse.

Your search for beans returned 0 result(s).

i'd say it's hard to satirize something you don't understand but since this website is "successful" i guess i can't say that

I'm just amazed at how consistently unfunny and lowest-common-denominator it is. Darren tells me the guy who does it is nice and all but totally clueless and COMPLETELY unfunny. Failed stand-up comedian iirc.

She looks so incredibly healthy, that is some NICE WORK at least looking like she's getting things together. But that pic reminds me that she has a neck like a tree trunk.

that picture couldn't be more awesome

and the awesome Jaywalking quotes from the hipsters are lol

“It was a tiny parade, and they shut down Graham Avenue?” said Mr. Tocco, 26, an actor. “There was one float and a horrible marching band. It was very ironic. The Latino parades are more festive.”

that article is disgusting.

like what the fuck is the point of that shit

old culture yay, hipsters boo

is everything young-ish brooklyn beardos do, including taking pictures of street fairs on their camera phones, actually fucking newsworthy
