"Hipster" as pejorative.

p sure that whole column has to be a level i mean "other, more productive Americans"?

This is an AWESOME article, from 1957:

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.

haha he actually put his mom's job in his bio?!?!

that's taken from a popular online encyclopedia but who's to say he didn't write it

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.

People should fucking retire the fucking "I liked ____ better when it was _____" construction stat

oh man wolf bear crystal right hahahahah what

i like the stegosaurus one [better when it was ____ lol]

haha, "dickheads are cool! thousands distraught."

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)

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.

i saw a hipster while hiking through the woods the other day! i took this snapshot:

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).

spent tonight in a bar with a load of meatheads in ed hardy t-shirts and their wannabe wag girlfriends, would much have prefered to hang with "hipsters". people who're into art and design and fashion and "stuff" are more interesting tbh. even if they're phony/bullshitting a lil bit. bring on the big frames and tight jeans crew, fine with me!

i get the impression a lot of hipster bashers are slightly nerdy guys who wanna be a bit more butch than they really are and have a chip on their shoulder regarding:

a) cute trendy girls and...

b) guys who aren't afraid to look a bit girly and sleep with cute trendy girls.

JUS SAYIN

its important to dismiss people who r more sexy than you, then u can build confidence to become more sexy, in effect you are stealing their sexiness

only problem: now you are a hipster

whatever

life is hard

The shallowness gets to me, personally. Its very hard to tell what a hipster feels passionate about vs. what they're accessorizing with.

They get to get laid with hipster chicks though

Feels just slightly less effort than going goth to do goth chicks

Its very hard to tell what a hipster feels passionate about vs. what they're accessorizing with.

Wittgenstein 101

passionate abt: chillwave
accessorizing with: wittgenstein 101

like how do I know if you're posting that or just accessorizing with it?

shit... what if he's being ironic

Kramer was once described as a "hipster doofus"

today is now officially "randomers dropping knowledge" day

that dickhead video is kind of stupid, too many nebulous "statements" in there, eg vague allusions to class when whoever made this is invariably middle class, and simultaneously mocking hipsters for being on the dole?? but also they're rich and from cambridgeshire? a little confused.

plus you know, if you are making youtube videos in your spare time then you're hardly in a position to make fun of people who have vague pretensions of working in the media.

finally, the bit about "indeterminite sexual preference", like.....is this something to be indicted? fuck those hipsters and their erm...tolerance of post 1932 attitudes to sexual behaviour. CUNTS.

i know it's just a bit of fun but i can't get past the fact that i know people in Dublin who would watch this video and genuinely 110 per cent believe "i hate hipsters, this is amazing" while doing so.
