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.

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.

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

"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.

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.”

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

hipster is a 50s word though right?

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

but... as bad as hipster culture is, one positive thing i can say is that it seems to be more racially diverse than a lot of other music/fashion movements of the last 20 years. tho i could be imagining that

I realized that the big hipster argument I got myself into upthread as over a misunderstanding of the definition of a hipster. To me a hipster is merely a poseur in an indie/artsy setting rather than the classic goth/punk setting.
