"Hipster" as pejorative.

It's in Little 5 Points, supposedly.

I just saw that last week, during my one and only trip to Atlanta - it was in the front window of Junkman's Daughter in Little 5 Points. I saw that floating around the internet today and it sort of freaked me out.

Sunday looks most promising — would consider seeing:

- Three Guys Fighting Over The Chick Bass Player (sometimes intraband tensions play well onstage)
- Guy With The Good Drugs (duh)
- Inexplicable Hype Man Onstage (totally explicable and underutilized strategy, IMHO)
- Mike Patton Tax Writeoff (duh x2)
- Too Many Instruments (depending on which instruments)
- $¥MßOL (w00t!)
- We Would Never Bathe... (presumably they spend most of their time rehearsing!)

Three Guys broke up, man.

i'm reading "What Was The Hipster" and it wildly vacillates between being insightful/funny and total rong/gibberish

and then has the cop-out of "it's supposed to be that way, tee hee"

I think this one is pretty funny:

My wife and her (Israeli) dad got into a protracted discussion of what hipsters are and different hipster things yesterday in the car on the way to eat in Williamsburg and I was hungry and I finally just blurted out "CAN WE PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT HIPSTERS!"

"Although Minnesota has less than 1/3rd the population of New York state, it leads the nation in searches for the term “hipster.” Understanding why is easy.

The typical Williamsburg hipster is essentially trying to portray the appearance of a Minnesotan. Don’t believe me?"

It's a disaster that I live here. I can't measure up as either a gay man or a hipster.

how often do you search for "hipster puppies"?

Ray LaHood 'Concerned' About Safety Of Urban Bikers, Unsure If He's A Hipster

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/10/ray-lahood-bicyclists-hipster_n_860100.html

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood signaled on Tuesday that his department would be looking into measures to encourage automobile drivers to observe better safety standards when it came to bicyclists cohabiting the roadways....

“I’m concerned that people that are driving cars have a level of respect for bikers, and that’s the reason that we have these bike lanes,” said LaHood. “Bikers have as much right to the streets as anybody driving a car and I am concerned about [their safety]."

Told that his heartfelt defense of bikers came off like the musings of a run-of-the-mill hipster, LaHood professed genuine confusion.

“I don’t even know what that term means,” he said.

Currently reading a scathing article in the Belarussian press about hipsters.

what does that cartoon say? i get moscow vs piter but not the rest

i think that says mockba, actually

It's difficult to read all of it but the gist seems to be 'typical St Petersburg' on the left, 'fashionable hipster' on the right.

ya guessed it would be a variant on the ohio tramp = nyc 'hipster' hilarity

Heard a great phrase today, a "Grapes of Wrath Hipster." Heh.

it is kind of amazing at the jesus-level worship shown to steve jobs, right down to his disciples finding meaning in his sort of boring words.

HIPSTER = RACIST ??? woaaaah

I've often wondered about hipster racism, mostly because they only seem to hang around black people if they have retro '70s 'fros.

me too, good point

I just reviewed a new book attacking hipsters and it has the same qualities as that hipster racism blog (not the same writer) and other anti-hipster screeds: complete absence of examples + blaming this vague, even contradictory archetype for basically everything that's wrong with 21st Century western culture. I find it amazing that anyone can still throw "hipster" into a serious argument, without offering any further definition, and think it means anything at all.

This lousy book just reminded me how scattershot most hipster-bashing writing is. I keep coming back to Mark Greif because he's one of the few writers on the subject to realise that the details matter.

Yeah, the racism described in that blog certainly exists but is not the creation of or confined to "hipsters." Even when I was in high school in the early 90s I noticed people taking that "it's not racist because I'm the one saying it" posture.

pretty incredible the author manages to get through the entire piece w/o giving a single example of this phenomenon
