Very funny stuff. Anything "hipster" cracks me up. Playing for three letter trophies is a great visual.

Personally, I have nothing against hipsters, but I find this meme terribly funny.

I've met loads of people with this Hipster style, but thankfully, I've never met anyone with the kind of mentality displayed here. Way back when (...a few years ago) when I was really into metal, I found that the other metalheads were some of the biggest hipsters I'd ever seen.

"Hey, check out the new Satanic Warmaster live LP. Only 200 were released, and the quality is so bootleg, but it's authentic, and did I mention it was played to a crowd of 100, and that only 200 were released....AND THAT IT WAS VINYL?!"

"Pfft, frig that band, they're to mainstream. Their first two albums before they were big were awesome." <- true story
But wait...That's often true...Does that make me a Hipster?!!!



It is true, though. Dad's are the original hipsters. My dad was wearing his big ass beard and later his mustache before they were born. He was a Southern Comfort, bass playing, professional musician, mustaching, jean jacket wearing kinda guy.

Hipsters come to shows. They're good customers.

I've got nothing against hipsters, maintstreamers, front runners, metalheads, wookies, or [insert group here]. Stereotypes are just funny. Obviously there are quality folks and d-bags everywhere.

Norm Macdonald put it best the other day...

"I don't know the difference between a HIPPIE and a HIPSTER... but it's fun to watch either one get beaten up"

I like the hipsters who don't know they are hipsters, while making fun of other hipsters for being hipsters.

For the most part they don't bother me though, most of they are usually pretty nice.

I love how hipsters, in practically every picture you see online, look like theyre dressed up, poorly, for halloween.

Where do these people reside? Is Los Angeles just too mainstream? Because I never see people dressing that bad in real life...

Some of them are nice, indeed. Some of them turn their nose up at you however, if they can detect that you are not a hipster as well.

Like I said yesterday, you have 2 (loose) groups of hipsters:

Group 1:
Fashion-
Regular/Baggy Jeans, baggy shorts (worn with black socks), white V neck t-shirts, ugly puke green Kurt Cobain sweaters, thick framed glasses

Music-
REM (early-mid 80s era), Flaming Lips, Dreams So Real, The Pixies, Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth

Mode of transport-
Skateboard, mountain bike

Brew of choice-
Imports, but will go for a Miller or Bud if necesary

Group 2-
Fashion-
Cut off jean shorts, trucker hats, nose rings, mustaches, Oasis haircut, skinny jeans, man purse

Music-
Mostly stuff that NO ONE but them has ever heard of... so I can't list any of them... bc Im not a hipster

Mode of transport-
Fixed Gear bike, 10 speed

Bre of choice-
PBR or High Life... never a Bud or Miller... maybe a Coors

I have seen more people drinking Coors lately.

Thats good, cuz someone needs to finish that Rocky Mountain piss off once and for all.
