Jesus Christ! Not to criticise anyone "ordinary" if such a person exists, for a second, but what is the point of anyone being hip if they're meant to hide it so Mark or whoever doesn't feel it's ostentatious. If that isn't knee jerk conservatism, DRESS LIKE ME, I don't know what is

Mmm, the Venue. It was a real treat to see a band there - after ULU it was just about the most perfect venue of the lot.
xpost - feeling touchy, Ronan?

I recall it being the "S&M crowd" - Scarborough & Mississauga, natch. (Sadly, I am from Scarborough), but in recent years I found the area code slur much more common, i.e. - "Richmond Street is full of annoyoing 905ers"

Ha, this is how the Accra rumour mill works. My sex life doesn't exist, therefore it has been invented for me.
And this thread is insania. Can't we get back to swapping shitty clubbing experiences instead of dragging a bloody hipsterism/class/snobbery rehash into it? It's harshing my buzz.

i didn't like the idea of Hoxditch for years because i assumed it was full of people taking the idea of being 'hip' to unattractive (to me) extremes - see my definition of hip on the Define Hip thread - class didn't come into this. but i didn't feel at all comfortable whenever i hung out there (not often) even just a few years back (99-01) for a number of reasons. i thought the are was ugly, dangerous and just lacked 'soul' - but my perception v distorted because i knew the east side of town so poorly and was naturally biased. conversely (and perversely) i was envious because it was constantly hyped and still popular after saturation point and i would have liked to have been able to latch onto that earlier (no point anyway by the time i started going to clubs round that way). the western equivalent - Ladbroke Grove - didn't seem to have the same sort of buzz or attention paid to it, tho i felt v alien round that way too at first.

Given your inability to muster any kind of empathy for anyone other than yourself, that would make perfect sense.
