Members kayd_mon Posted May 9, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2013 Fugazi and the like don't fit the current hipster definition. Great band, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveAronow Posted May 9, 2013 Members Share Posted May 9, 2013 No anger issues at all. Im not the least bit mad. No yelling, screaming, nothing like that. In fact, I'd probably just casually amble on over to the fridge, whistling a happy little tune, and maybe make myself a sandwhich or something, maybe some popcorn, I don't know? So I could have a little something to munch on while I watched the hipster laying there, bleeding out on to the floor. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted May 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 @danhedonia The point of the thread is to discuss the validity of the list in relation to the target culture it identifies, as well as to discuss whether or not those choices are good or not. Yes, the list could easily be argued as "entry-level hipster" or "hipster lite" but it's still related enough to garner discussion. So you worked at Sub Pop? That must have been cool.

Ashton has a stylist , and Im sure Britney does too. Once anything goes main stream it becomes lame, even irony isnt immune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted May 13, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 13, 2013 Trucker hats? I thought hipsters wore clothing inspired by the 20s-40s mixed with obscenely colorful tattoos, and then poor hair dye jobs for women and hobo beards for the men.

Members kayd_mon Posted May 14, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 14, 2013 I started getting into Zappa these last couple years. I was missing out before then. Also, well-reasoned post. Good description of the hipster, and yes we should just like the music for music's sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Danhedonia Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 I don't think the snark is about knowing Modest Mouse. It's about assholes who believe that humming "Teeth Like God's Shoeshine" while lining up for fake, overpriced organic food at Bumbershoot makes them relevant.

Anything cultural outside of the South that enters is like Japan. We take it in, pervert it, and spit it back out at you.For some odd reason, when I was in highschool, some kids had a "rave" day, where they dressed like what they thought people who go to a rave would. Let me tell you, I've never seen a bigger bunch of idiots."That's not how people at a rave dress. Why are you covered in green jizz?""Yes it is.""Where did you see that?""Wikipedia."

Members kayd_mon Posted May 19, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 I was just referring to the fact that Mumford and Sons are about as hipster as Kelly Clarkson, since they're both played regularly on the same top 40 radio stations. But yeah, I think I know what you mean. When I visit family in Tennessee, I see kids at the mall and around town with very confused fashion. It's like they have a vague idea of what those stuck-up kids at the University of Miami here look like, but they're missing the point and end up looking kinda like parodies. Whatever, they're just kids, and they're probably enjoying themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
