"Hipster" and the people who use that term * 1
    #18955221 - 10/09/13 04:37 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

“Hipster” is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else’s authenticity into question and, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself.

It serves no convers8tional function and imparts no information, save for indic8ing the opinions and preferences of the speaker.

Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural 8ogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you’ve probably sensed the pattern on your own).

You can’t define what “that kind of 8ehavior or fashion or lifestyle” actually is, nor will you ever be a8le to. That’s 8ecause you don’t use “hipster” to descri8e an actual group of people, but to descri8e a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you.

The twist, of course, is that if it weren’t for your own insecurities, nothing that a “hipster” could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally. But you are insecure about your own authenticity - “Do I wear what I wear because I want to? Do I listen to my music 8ecause I truly like it? I’m certainly not like those filthy hipsters!” - so you project those feelings.

Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as a hipster; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the authentic Us from the inauthentic, “ironic” Them.

a hipster is just anyone who 'tries' to be in a scene or trend and thus it can apply to lots of people if you go by that definition. nothing wrong with being a hipster as long as you aren't snooty imo.
