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

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

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 think this is serious (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:43 (fourteen years ago)

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

thirdalternative, Monday, 23 January 2012 19:42 (fourteen years ago)

me too, good point

max, Monday, 23 January 2012 19:43 (fourteen years ago)

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.

Meme Rogers (DL), Monday, 23 January 2012 20:06 (fourteen years ago)

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.

MrDasher, Monday, 23 January 2012 20:40 (fourteen years ago)

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

"Adam Steltzner, NASA's hipster rocket engineer"

http://www.eetimes.com/ContentEETimes/Images/steltzner_406.JPG

Steltzner comes across as a bit of a hipster (two pierced ears), media savvy and relentlessly honest about the risks of the mission to land the nearly 1-ton rover Curiosity in a predetermined spot on Mars, Gale Crater. The low-lying site is believed to be among the best places to find evidence that Mars once harbored the ingredients for life.

real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Monday, 6 August 2012 13:56 (thirteen years ago)

Steltzner also represents a new breed of engineer. The Bay Area native is a rocker, as the Elvis haircut attests ... Putting his doctorate to good use, Steltzner said he needed “a little bit of sexy.”

aging rockabilly dudes are hipsters now

hipstabilly

real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Monday, 6 August 2012 14:36 (thirteen years ago)

hipster is an umbrella term at this point that encompasses almost any group of fashion-conscious music fans.

one dis leads to another (ian), Monday, 6 August 2012 14:40 (thirteen years ago)

hipster is a 50s word though right?

caek, Monday, 6 August 2012 14:41 (thirteen years ago)

yea but iirc those hipsters were more like proto-beatniks right
