"Hipster" as pejorative.

You can be "hip" and listen to nothing but old Northern Soul records or proto-disco rarities.

especially that

i think that's a bit of an oversimplification - the homeless hipster could also be dumpster diving for survival, but ostensibly because of an earlier choice of that lifestyle

oh. my god.

It was the summer of 2k10. That’s when me and my fam started arguing a lot. I’d stay out to late partying, raving, and giving oral sex to my bffs on my parent’s front porch. Needless to say, things didn’t end well. My parents told me I had to stop going to raves, after a few of my friends died in Los Angeles/Germany. I was hella bummed because they didn’t understand that I kept myself super hydrated when I dropped E. Always had a ‘babysitter’/designated bro.

I go to Goldsmiths, wear skinny jeans + deck shoes without socks, wear thick black glasses, am awkward, spend too much time on the internet, have a short back and sides with a massive fringe. Am I a hipster?

you had me at skinny jeans

^not au fait with Goldsmiths I take it

can't we all just come together and make a F**K You Improv Dorkwards youtube?

Ha! I wonder if I'm related?

i pray if there is a god in heaven that the LATFH guy didn't get a fucking check for them referencing it in that commercial

at least they got some of the hipster signifiers right in that commercial

probably cuz all ad creatives are themselves hipsters

i will def agree w that

what record is that girl holding in the car?

dont see a girl holding a record but the dude looks like he's holding an animal collective lp http://www.wers.org/manage/images/fall-be-kind-300x300.jpg

couldn't tell

WS girl in checked shirt tho

That ad is confusing re: yarn. The guy is knitting an already-done scarf that was clearly crocheted, but is wearing a garter stitch scarf (easier thing to knit) with a designer label on it.

^^
LATFH

jk :)

I hear all about these knitting hipsters but every time I go to a knitting group it is old ladies (lol = lovin' old ladies) and ppl my age wearing sweatpants and size XL shirts that say things "2004 Chemistry Club Campout."

Oh, and I forgot, lace shawls on top of that, of course.

definitely seen hipster knitter types in la

that is all-time, hat tip to you

This looks like a trap for vinyl-loving hipsters, like a net is about to descend on them.

I put it to you that that rests almost entirely on the style of glasses worn by the dude holding the two sleeves

the only really good use I've found for "hipster" is as a lighthearted inoffensive substitute for the n-word when rapping along with music

i would just like to state for the record that the above statement has had a genuine and positive impact on my life

I've decided I consider hipsters circa 2010 as mostly white, middle to upper middle class, 20-somethings who aren't the preppy kids.

um

http://music.seizurechicken.com/images/ezra.jpg

That's ironically preppy, actual preppie kids can't play insturments beyond a few Marley or Matthews covers on a crappy acoustic guitar.

wait, preppy or preppie?

i think you're right for the most part, but I'm just saying they're not mutually exclusive. Morelike

New York's Hipsters Too Cool For The Census

Ugh.

Just outside the record store, I meet Jamie Lilly. She knows the ads. She got the form but she thinks that returning it is just supporting a government that she doesn't believe in.

Ms. JAMIE LILLY: You know, on a personal note, maybe some people, they figure what's the point to be counted if you don't count for much anyway? If we don't count, why be counted?

(apologies if this was previously posted, I searched and didn't find it)

If we don't count for anything but centuries-old business models increasingly catering directly to our demographic and sensibility, why be counted?

That repulsive quote embodies early 20s angst and entitlement to a T.

Actual link (the one above doesn't work) has comments that seem to suggest the story was largely horseshit and most of the apathy towards the census in the district was actually from Hasidic Jews?

Googling the headline was pretty enlightening insofar as I got to see how many places unquestioningly parroted/rewrote the NPR story tho

Sorry for the broken link.

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125811666

It sounds like they're blaming both the Hasidic Jews and the hipsters.

SMITHZ; Now, this isn't the case for the whole neighborhood. If you walk toward the new glass condo buildings, you'll find that participation in the census takes off. In the other direction, return rates plunge. And you can't blame it all on the cool kids. This is the Hasidic part of Williamsburg, where the Satmar Orthodox Jews live. Only one quarter of households here so far have participated. Not only are they reluctant to fill out the census, they don't even want to talk about it.

the sleazy narcissist hard partying vice types kinda bum me out

It's times like these that remind of why I want all hipster cokeheads to die of overdoses.

FYI, when sarahel and I talk about the "hipster scale" this is exactly what we mean.

That these people are higher on the scale than you, so you are suspicious and derisive to them and call them "hipsters." Meanwhile most of the people who post on ILX are higher on the scale that, say, someone who posts on a backyard wrestling forum. They would probably say similar things about YOU and call you a hipster!

uh except that people dont exist on scales and there are as many criteria for what goes one that scale and what order it goes in as ppl on it and so it is pretty incoherent as an idea srsly

...and hope YOU die of a tea overdose.

keeping it positive 2010

if only Dom was alive to defend himself etc

fyi i covered this all already:

people write articles about "hipsters" but they have different definitions of "hipster" than other people

oftentimes this has to do with the audience, the location, and the writer

some people on this board even have a different definition of "hipster" than other people
