"Hipster" as pejorative.

I thought V-necks were symbols of not wanting your undershirt to show.

you'd think a shirt made by a company that uses sweatshops would have more working class cache than an AA shirt

i went to a party with a friend of mine once and as soon as we entered this one girl who lived there squealed at him, "a hipster!" and just physically dragged him off to her bedroom for an hour.

Oh I'm totally lazy. It just seems like a...boring kind of thing that's been done to death, maybe? I mean I guess apart from maybe an eye-roll at the Pratt brats across the bar or something.

Laurel otm! now, rollerderby girls… I FUCKING HATE THEM!!

i think people just like to project douchebaggery onto others and "hipsters" are the easiest target nowadays, like "yuppies" were in the '80s.

rollerderby vs kickball

can't wait for the blipster bingo remix of "lookin' boy"

Yes, I'm behind the times, I just saw that kickball is a weekly thing at McCarren Pool apparently?

yeah, don't get me wrong, i write off people all the time in lazy, prejudicial ways. i guess everybody does.

but i don't get all irate about people who (gasp) own fixed-gear bikes. i can think of, like, a million things that are actually worth getting upset over

I guess its because most people have been priced away from the yuppie-classics (eg gabbneb) so they only see hipstre yuppies in their social circles / drinking haunts.

My problems with fixed gear riders are practical not ideological. Stop riding two abreast on bike paths!

The latency period is typified by a solidifying of the habits that the child developed in the earlier stages. Whether the Oedipal conflict is successfully resolved or not, the drives of the id are not accessible to the ego during this stage of development, since they have been repressed during the phallic stage. Hence the drives are seen as dormant and hidden (latent), and the gratification the child receives is not as immediate as it was during the three previous stages. Now pleasure is mostly related to secondary process thinking. Drive energy is redirected to new activities, mainly related to schooling, hobbies and friends. Problems however might occur during this stage, and this is attributed to inadequate repression of the Oedipal conflict, or to the inability of the ego to redirect the drive energy to activities accepted by the social environment.

"Yeah, get me another PBR, I've almost drained this one of all its meaning."

looool

should use this irl

if you're familiar with 'buy nothing day' which is supposed to grind the capitalist consumer system to a halt

this is not true btw

cap'n save a dope

I think the same way the goalposts of what defines a "nerd" or "geek" had to be moved once spending all your time online kind of became the norm, at some point the whole "hipster" thing became these weird defanged accusations. OMG YOU'RE WEARING...A SHIRT! YOU'VE HEARD OF...A BAND! YOU'RE HANGING OUT IN......A BAR! FUCKIN' HIPSTER!

on the other hand, what if u want to make fun of ppl who really think that their ironic mustache is cool?

LOL.... SONGS

just dont go too far in the other direction, i mean

I am just pissed that my definition of hipster as a self-identifying term (i.e., that people who use the term are doing so to self-identify as hipsters) never caught on

nb this may be because it was wrong

end up like forksclovetofu

do we even need some snappy term term for people who listen to shitty music and find humor in played out irony, though? just call people out for who they are in specifics.

the term is "ilxors" I think

^^ fire

some of us just think mustaches look good

also some of us dont get off on desperately trying to be smarter and more jaded than everyone else

jk i too am filled with self-loathing

u mad?

after the nightmares I got from that indie girl comedy mustache thread i have no problem with any mustache as long as it's worn by a man

no am0n I don't actually give a shit it's just kinda the actual objections to buy nothing day are all pretty valid without lying about it for lulz

"they think they're gonna change the world!" no they don't

if making fun of max's stache is rong i dont wanna be right

i got no problem with a stache as long as you're committed to it for life once you grow it, like wilford brimley or burt reynolds or rollie fingers.

lawl i dont have a stache

i have a post-ironic beard tho

http://weblogs.elearning.ubc.ca/ross/archives/buy-nothing-day.jpg

beards are sincere

I pray daily for the death of the mustache trend

GOTHICK 4 LIFE

mustaches are warlike

see am0n doesn't that strike you as being more about the benefits to the person who buys nothing, not the posited harm to the corporations? seems kinda painfully obvious to me

i went to a "moustache party" last month. seriously.

i knew no one going in except the person i went with. it was some guy's birthday party, and that was the theme he chose. i had some nice conversations with people there and drank some free-for-all beer that their fridge was stocked with. some band played. someone spilled a box of red wine all over the kitchen floor. there was dancing. it was fun.

Shave Nothing Day

I could get down with that one but only because I'm lazy

in fact if I don't make it to the sink before midnight, today will have been Shave Nothing Day for me for the third day running
