so im with some kid he says he hates hipsters and he listens to indie music that he calls "punk" (definatly indie music in disguise nothing about it says "punk" at all same tone same type of singing and everything" and he wears cutoff shorts and everythin
then this other kid has this tumblr and he writes how he hates hipsters except he's in an indie band goes to all the indie shows and a few posts later he writes "my favorite part of summer is cutoff shorts and band t shirts"
i was all like  
this thread is not meant to start a flame war or anything of the sort it shouldnt be taken all that seriously its more just an observation of som e of the weird shit that people do
some other example similar to this is some guy on the shroomery went on a rant about how much he hates "hippies" and a few postsx later he shows a picture of himself with dreadlocks and says he's at a phish show in the picture

I've encountered people who don't like to be stereotyped but pass judgement on other people the same way they don't like to be put into a specific category.
I call those people hypocrites...

By labeling him a hipster you have now made him part of a larger group. That goes against everything hipster.

i heard people talk about "fucking hipsters" for a while bit have been mostly oblivious to their existence. i just dont come across them very often i guess (probably because i avoid all the trendy places filled with weirdos in town.
Is this seriously what they do when the congregate? This shames humanity worse than holocausts.
I cant wait to shout "FUCKING HIPSTERS!"

Well this is the ironic thing. Anyone who's offended by being called a hipster is part of the 90% that wears hipster clothes to be cool. They are anything but hipsters. You call me a hipster and I take it as a compliment. I pride myself on my individualism, and enjoy the fact that I am a hipster in the most raw sense. Anyone who cannot identify with this and dresses like a hipster will just move on to the next fad when the time comes. They tend to be the hipsters that wear sweaters, have one tattoo on their arm, and take a lot of facebook pictures.

I think this is part of it.
There was a website called lookatthisfuckinghipster.com which had a bunch of photos of stereotypical hipsters. What was really cool was that they also had a book out with some essays in it to go along with the pics. I'm borderline hipster (not really anymore, I just try do my own thing now. at heart I'm more of a hippie I think but that's a different topic) and I know a lot of people and friends of friends I would classify as hipsters.
I think a lot of it is because the people who primarily use to word hipster do so in a degrading way. The true hipsters IMO (the people who probably don't like or didn't like to be called hipsters) are people who are actually trying to be hip and cool and intelligent and believe that the things they are interested in are artistically valuable. I think because of this is why many hipsters seem stuck-up or smug.
I don't really like the term anymore. I think a few years ago it made sense, but now it is just a fashion subset. There's a lot of people who fit the fashion definition of being a "hipster" but without that fashion probably wouldn't fit into that group.
I think a lot of this goes with the whole "indie bands" thing. When I was in high school (which was only 5 years ago basically) there were what were called "Scene kids" or "indie kids" who went to a lot of shows (or not) but dressed kind of like a hippie but not really. These kids were usually pretty cool and smoked pot and all that jazz which is why I found myself hanging out with them. And IMO most of the indie music I was listening to at the time was pretty good (Bright Eyes, Of Montreal, Animal Collective, Tegan and Sara, Cursive).
In essence, its not so much that these kids wanted to be different (although I'm sure some did) but that there was a certain type of music they liked and eventually a certain fashion that went with it. I think the fashion got started by girls adopting more sun dresses and hats or whatever and generally being fashionable like a lot of girls tend to be.
Basically, IMO, the "hipsters"/"indie"/"scene" kids are just the early 21st century versions of hippies. I know that seems blashpemous, and it's obviously not the same, but that's the best example I can think of.
For example. My mom tells me how she was a hippie in the late 60s and 70s. I know my mom. She used to smoke pot and took acid once or twice. She's a cool lady for sure, but she is definitely no hippie. And I'm not saying that because I think she's so uncool that she couldn't be but just that I know she wasn't. While she may have dressed the part and smoked some pot that's it. It's not like my mom followed The Grateful Dead around, or even knew who they were. She didn't live on a commune etc.
Now what we have are large swaths of youth culture dressing like hipsters because its the thing to do. I feel its like if you're not preppy or some Tapout/EdHardy wearing douche you're probably going to be like a hipster. Its a subculture (even nowadays I really think fashion or fad is more appropriate) in which independent music is valued, people are more likely to smoke weed or at least be drug/psychedelic friendly and usually educated in my experience.
In the video posted, Interior Semiotics, I would say yeah that's a crowd of hipsters, especially because that came out a couple of years ago.
Here's what's shitty. That video sucks, and that girl is a tard. I agree. Yet there is a silver lining to this cloud and why I think hipsters consider themselves cool (at least subconsciously): They put themselves in the environment in which they are open to strange performance art pieces. I can dig on performance art, and while I think this video is stupid, I do have to give some props to the performer for actually getting up in front of a group of people and doing that routine. And at the same time, I gotta give some props to the kids in the audience who are going to a show to see performance art and they have absolutely no idea really what to expect.
I think you would be hard-pressed to find other groups of people today who are that open and accepting when it comes to being creative. And while I think that means that yes there is shit art like this piece I think that also releases enough pressure so that some truly great and meaningful works of art or music could be produced that might not be able to be in another environment.
So I think hipsters don't like to be called hipsters because of what withoutawire said, sort of. I think that yes, many hipsters try to be individuals and express their individuality and being apart of a larger group goes against that.....
But. I also think part of is that there in assumption that if you are calling someone a hipster in a negative way what that shows the "hipster" in question is that you do not understand them or their lifestyle and that you think they are stupid. How the hell is someone supposed to respond to this anyway?
Yet because of the individuality there is no group consciousness of hipsterdom. Up until a couple years ago the only people I knew who really used to word hipster frequently were people I would not describe as hipsters.
It's not like if you were to tell a redneck that he really looks like a redneck. He might respond with a "Fuck yeah brother!!" or something like that but most rednecks imo realize they are part of the wider redneck collective (hence the fan bases of larry the cable guy and co.).
Right now I would say the closest I've seen to a "hipster" comedian in this same regard would be Donald Glover, or perhaps even more specifically someone like Abed from the show Community, although he's more of a study in pop-culture obsession. But he would be a hit at hipster parties for sure. Hipsters are often times nerdy as well.
I guess if I could sum things up, as I feel I'm already on a large rant, is that modern "hipsters" are really a combination, a fusion, if you will, between nerds, stoners, artists, musicians, art&music snobs, and the people that hang out with those people. This last part is important, becuase while creativity is praised within the hipster community I find that it is not as praised as it is in the hippie community for example where many people make their own clothes or accessories or paintings. There are plenty of hipsters who aren't really creative at all but consider themselves to like good music and hang out with like-minded people. Thus they become hipsters.
In an even shorter way. I would say hipsters are just people who are trying to be hip. They want to be the first to know about the next big thing. If you know some new relatively unknown band that is good then that makes you "hip".
I've hung out with many hipsters (especially on visits to Chicago it seems) and really the only identifiable trend that I don't like is one of smugness or pretentiousness. Many hipsters think that they know a lot of stuff about this band or artist or whatever. And I've found people often take a lot of pride in this. I try to shoot em down lol. However, that being said, I do meet the occasional person that really does know his/her shit and is a very intelligent cool, talented individual.
That's about it, I wouldn't really consider myself a hipster. But fuck if I don't think it's an interesting social phenomenon.

You should read my post above.

What you see on that website is not a real hipster. It's someone wishing they had they creativity to be a real hipster.

I know exactly the kind of music you're talking about, I believe the main thing that makes it 'punk' in their minds is turning their gear up really fucking loud at shows and playing kind of sloppy. I knew someone who was in a band like this and I went to a couple of shows. A lot of the regulars seem to wear earplugs and everyone else presumably just gets permanent hearing damage. The music was ok otherwise I guess but not especially interesting, not much set one band apart from another aside from a few with some theatrical gimmicks. Not my idea of a good time.

Because that's the topic? Trust me, I am not into labels. If you've ever read what I've said about sexuality you'd know I am not into labels. Generalizations tend to make ignorant people draw ignorant conclusions.

I agree with this to an extent. However when it comes to the website I think it depends. Some people just look ridiculous but there are others who could pass for a normal hipster. I mean its hard to tell someone by their fashion choices. They could be cool, or they could just be someone trying to dress a certain way. You don't know unless you know them IRL.
I only say this because my friend's older bro's hipster friends in chicago, one of them was on that website like 2 or 3 years ago when it was popular, and he's def a "real hipster".
In my opinion the detriment of hipsters is hubris. Many think they are being very cool and sometimes they are.
Withoutawire, when you're talking of people who just dress like hipsters but aren't really I know exactly what you mean. I live in St. Louis, but am from Kansas City and I've been around up to Chicago a bunch as well. My friend's and I have a term for these people we call them "St. Louis Hipsters". Why? because even in KC and especially Chicago and Omaha and Minneapolis there is this hipster culture, whatever it is. And there are people that are legitimately really fucking cool.
Then I come to St. Louis, and I realize that being a hipster there means that you have some tattoos or piercings (this seems to be mandatory in STL for some reason), listen to "alternative music", dress a certain way (skinny jeans), and you can't forget the fake nerd glasses. You know, when people where them even though they don't actually need glasses. Lots of those types. These are the people who listen to bands like linkin park and skrillex yet call themselves hipsters (note: they actually refer to themselves as hipsters).
I would say however that I think most hipsters, even real ones, are trying to be cool. There's a difference between being cool and trying to be cool. IMO, the "real hipsters" as you would say are actually cool. Whereas the fad followers are merely trying to be cool. There's ways to look at it too. You could say that the legit people are trying to be cool and succeeding at it, or that they are not trying to be cool and just are by virtue of their being. It's hard to say and may be a little bit of both even.

Don't forget that most hipsters are 18-25. The way people find a mate at that age is by being cool. If you aren't with the trend you aren't viewed as cool, which is the complete opposite of what being a hipster is.
That website is 1/2 and 1/2. It depends, and until you meet someone you can't tell.
If my generations version of "being cool" is wearing clothes that were fashionable in the 1950's then I can live with that. It could be a lot worse. I could be the 90's generation (born in the 80s) who didn't do shit for the world because it's all about them.
Plus hipster music isn't bad either. At least it's real music and requires some talent. I can listen to some of it, but prefer hip-hop.
The thing is, I'd never date a hipster unless she/he was truly different from the 90% who do it to be cool.

Hipster girls can be sooo cute. I prefer cities to be filled with hipster chicks instead of bimbos. They are A O.K in my book 
I used to bitch all the time and get annoyed about scenes of all types. I used to be into punk (still am, I have just expanded greatly as far as music goes) and I seen some thick scene for years. Then I became so cool I started to diss on scenes.
But now I love them all. Street punks, emos, wannabeees, yuppies, the kids that dress like they are from madmen, ICP, All of them. I love them all. I have no reason to not.
They make the world a bit more interesting in a goofy way, so fuck it. I'm try to open minded and I'm glad these crowds exist.
TEAM UP.
It's just fun and it gives people something that I guess makes them feel different and maybe it let's them feel like they found their nook. And ya know what. That's cool.
Unfortunately, individuality is something we all do not have.
Some people care less and try to look like they refuse to take part in some kind of label but they still do. In ways they might not even realize.
Ive only met a handful of people in my life who I would consider a true original individual. The only people who don't play some part of a theme are the people who just dont give a fuck. And you can tell the ones that act like they dont give a fuck (DGAF kids) from the types who really just DON'T GIVE A FUCK. I think DGAF kids might care more about the way people perceive them then a scenester kid might. Ya know ?
I think it's fine that someone joins a scene because they see something they like and think is cool and they wanna be a part of and look cool with those cool kids. Because then other kids in the same scene think they are cool. If you like indie bands and wanna date a girl who likes indie, dressing the part and keeping your eye out will make it that much easier to find one. See what I mean ? grouping isn't a bad thing. If you don't to play with them then dont do it lol. Not that big of deal. Hell. Maybe if everyone were into scenes then we would have less people on O.K cupid. I always start talkin to people about shit when I see they have a misfits shirt on. It's just a something that I can relate to that person about.
Ive always been into punk and always worn a misfits shirt etc. I never really embraced the fashion side of it more. But the shirt is a scene thing to. Hate me for it ?
A misfits shirt can make a good icebreaker for a conversation in a grocery store

If you find yourself focusing on hipsters and other alike pretty often then you must be fascinated by them

Wow that's not even what I said. I can't tell if you are trying to troll or you are just an idiot. I'm going to guess the latter.
How am I going to have a conversation about a group of people without using labels? there is a difference between using labels to describe a group of people and having a prejudice against them.

hipsters say they arn't a hipster because being a hipster is now the norm and they are trying to show how unique they are from everyone else by saying they arn't hipsters even though in reality they are hipsters. personally i am gonna stick to liking things i actually like ,not just what isn't in style wich makes it in style for the hipsters

yea its all jokes and fun i was messin with him
but you taught me something about the "hipster" culture. they all flaunt their individuality and do their own thing by wearing the same clothes listening to the same music using the same slang hanging out with people who do the same things at the same places talking about the same things and participating in the same activities? well slap my ass and call me sally if thats not individuality then i dont know what is!
I D K MAN IM JUST JOSHIN
Well this is the ironic thing. Anyone who's offended by being called a hipster is part of the 90% that wears hipster clothes to be cool. They are anything but hipsters. You call me a hipster and I take it as a compliment. I pride myself on my individualism, and enjoy the fact that I am a hipster in the most raw sense. Anyone who cannot identify with this and dresses like a hipster will just move on to the next fad when the time comes. They tend to be the hipsters that wear sweaters, have one tattoo on their arm, and take a lot of facebook pictures.
