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.

But the glasses! The trousers! It works on so many levels!

look at THEM, THEY are such twats. (also.....and this is getting into "oh but this is how you should react", and sort of why this stuff is actually amusing, electropop meets southern hiphop? where is this a thing these days? surely they should just say deep house and be done with it?)

can't helo but feel there's a huge amount of homophobia involved in all this too.

i just really hate that style of comedy singing, before it comes to anything else. the one lonely island track i don't f/w is the space olympics one, which is exactly the same tone.

but also, ehh, s0 bored of hipster bashing by now. it doesn't really advance on 'nathan barley'. and like ronan says some of it is totes random, w.r.t. the dole/working in the media/identity of the person making the viddy. also omigosh, rollies? effing hipsters.

usual contradiction of hipster-bashing: it flatters people who 'get it'.

yeah rollies exactly?? surely that's like...i dunno, just better than funding marlboro or whatever, or surely smoking cigarettes would be more posh/yuppyish? the part about "the kids at school used to call us names/now we're taking over their estates" is desperate too, like this 2 hours in ableton ditty is the anguished howl of the displaced working classes or something.

sad fact is whoever made it is prob a shaved head dude with cords and an underground resistance t-shirt...what a brilliant vision of how people SHOULDN'T live.

agree that "hipster"-bashing is boring, have no intention of watching yet another example of it, but i do wish the people i see around dalston/ldn fields etc were better dressed. the current stereotypical hipster uniform is pretty atrocious.

the part about "the kids at school used to call us names/now we're taking over their estates" is desperate too, like this 2 hours in ableton ditty is the anguished howl of the displaced working classes or something.

lol. i know that in the web 2.0 era anyone can make a film, but this feels pretty gd professional/expensive, and blatantly a calling-card to oh hey get into the media.

perhaps they will get a job writing for 'mock the week' or one of the other various hate-fuelled piss-parades that occupy the evening schedules on dave.

it's the kind of thing that gets called edgy, but it isn't really.

/dude from cambridgeshire with a fixie

You may think I'm a "randomer" but dammit I'm right.

are hipsters really the only ones with fixies too? the only person i know who has a fixie hangs out with bicycle couriers and stuff...not really a hipster at all.

I was lolling about the rollies part as well. It's nice to be on the bleeding edge of hipsterdom but tbh I mainly smoke 'em cos they're about a quarter of the cost of fags.
