aw, dmr, you're missing this:

If you were to ask the modern hipster, he… I mean she… Sorry, IT is likely under the impression that Usama Bin Laden is wearing skinny jeans in his cave, currently listening to Animal Collective as he throws back cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon. Certainly Al Qaeda shares a common bond with the trust-fund jackass, bobbing his head at the Vampire Weekend concert.

haha yeah I did read it. pretty piss-poor trolling. East Village syringe jokes? Take a shower you dirty hipster?

This is an AWESOME article, from 1957:

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,862551,00.html

One line stood out:

To the Soho hipsters who swelter and suffocate for it in the Cat's Whisker, the Côte d'Azur or The Two I's, skiffle is brand-new; to jazz critics and non-skiffling professional musicians, it is old—"a bastardized, commercialized form of the real thing," said one critic, "watered down to suit the sickly orange-juice tastes of musical illiterates."

missed this thread bump the other day but loving

the hipster, often blessed with the luxury of never having had to earn a living in the real world (no, college is not the real world) is permanently perched in the peanut gallery, free to criticize other more productive Americans

from a dude who

first came to public prominence as the voice of Alan "The Brain" Powers on the children's television series Arthur. He has become popular for his weekly political postings on YouTube. His brother, Jordan Crowder, is an independent film director and his mother (Francine Crowder) is a stylist and costume designer in Canadian television.

Saying the Triassic was cooler than the Jurassic or Cretaceous is like saying "the first album was the best, before they got commercial and shit."

It's total bullshit though. Plateosaurus was boring as fuck.

In 50s-early 60s, "hippie" was what later 60s meant by "teeny-bopper" excitable leaping-to-conclusions noob(though teeny-bopper more about younger kids, esp female, while earlier use of hippie include neophytes/tourists/perhaps poseurs of all ages, genders etc)

this is actually something I'm kinda curious about w/r/t contemporary usage of "hipster". there's a certain notion of "uncritical (pop-)counterculture consumption" that tends to go unspoken, but is definitely at work.

case in point: I just opened that foxnews link posted upthread, and the first paragraph hit me with

arrogant people who let the ideal of “anti-consumerism,” combined with a hatred for all things normal, dictate their every action

I don't believe in hipsters anymore, but this may just be a sign I've become one.

true. are there any refs (apart from geographical) in that video that aren't basically american or recogniseable from the hilarious 'burt_stanton' decompensation episode.

like if they had youtube in england in 2003 there'd be a least a few things that weren't sr8 outta the vice/international school of what the wikipedia article for hipster used to call 'postcollegiate bohemians' (iirc).
