Members Trick Fall Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 The building I work in has an ad agency filled with these wankers. Personally I'm up for a new age of sincerity, but then I'm older and live in the suburbs now. I did see Terry Richardson walking down the street the other day though which was cool. I don't know if he still does, but he used to shoot with a Yaschica T4 which is one of the best cameras I've ever owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members locust tree Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 https://www.adbusters.org/magazine/79/hipster.html?page=1As hard as Adbusters has fallen off in recent years, I think you'd dig that article. See also - www.hipsterrunoff.comI used to get pissed off about hipsters because they stood for nothing, and didn't seem to be allowed to unabashedly, unironically connect with any piece of art or music. But lately I've been convinced that the entire aesthetic is going to self destruct in another year or two. Given enough time, there's a backlash against everything. Even grunge needed to die.

That's a nice article. It's become a cliche to hate on them, they're already done as far as I'm concerned. You're right, give it a year or two. Where in CT are you, BTW? Up near Uconn? There's cows there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fightthepower Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'd bet that if all the global hipsters were rounded up and tested, doctor prescribed anti-depressants and/or stimulants would found in their systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rockstrongo Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 Old news, they're in every major and minor town from here to Timbuktu. The most ironic thing about that lifestyle "movement" is that it has become exactly the opposite of what it set out to be in the first place.

Members kismet78 Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 Jesus christ, the "poor me, I'm being marketed to" whinging of all the comments left on that article leaves me feeling little to no empathy. For a fashion fad with such a propensity for appropriation they seemed to have glossed over the "tune out" chapter of history and instead dove head first to swim in the {censored}. I don't find that ironic, just lazy. In the voice of Tom Brokaw: they are truly the ball-less generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
