...Oh Christ, my brain! Shall we say, "be yourself, no matter how unhip or hip you are"?Dieter Meyer said:
I mean afterall, liking some mainstream stuff never hurt. And some people are dedicated to staying hip but they're nice enough people and happy with how they're living, the same way all us un-hip bastards are.
That's one the problems with me, is that I hate spending money on things D:Therumancer said:At any rate, all the crazy rambling aside, you might try doing the mainstream thing if you can pull it off. You can always go back to being a nerd. Besides, in a purely pragmatic sense it sounds like your mom is basically offering to buy you new clothes and music, so I mean WTF right? Go shopping.
I'm very cheap, to the point where I actively buy at the cheapest possible grocery store (Compare Foods in case you're wondering).
Unrelated, but I like being cheap and rubbing it in people's faces.
I wear brown and bright autumn red cords, colourful t-shirts, brown shoes, a fancy earthy toned necklace. I dress the way I dress. I have my own style. Some people know me as the cords guy.
Swish!
Swish!

Mom:Oh come one cant you just be a normal teenager and play video games and get fat like the reset of us YOUR GETTING A VIDEO GAME AND THATS FINAL!

You shouldn't follow trends just because that's what's popular, but you also shouldn't go against them just to seem counter-culture. That makes you a hipster (yeah, somehow doing everything to seem unhip nets you the title of "hipster". Just roll with it). Being trendy is one thing, but I think being hipster is even worse.
Just don't care about trends, and wear what you like. If you listen to certain music because you honestly like it, then great. If you listen to it to spite Justin Bieber fans and your mom, then you're no better than them. In fact, you are significantly worse. Bragging about it drops you even lower.

I don't care enough for clothes to not follow the mainstream nor actively protest it. I just buy what can be found in stores. And bandshirts, though, I like non black bandshirts, and those are fucking rare. You'd think they got painted with gems.
When it comes to music, don't listen to anyone who says that what you listen to is "garbage". But at the same time don't accept the music that you listen to as the only "good music". Allow yourself to gain a liking of other music whether it be jazz, rock, rap, or even orchestral.
As for clothes, I'd say it wouldn't hurt to dress better according to what you wear (sweater and sweat pants). There's nothing wrong with t-shirt and jeans for casual dress, but wear a polo or something different every once and a while to change things up. Hair... I dunno... use a brush.

MY semi-secret love is for 1940s music and dress. They were glorious years for clothing and music. However, I keep that to myself. Dressing as a guy from the '40s isn't exactly going to help me and it isn't the only part of me, I don't base myself entirely around a like for something. I do dress in more current clothes and listen to current music, but it still love wearing a suit and putting a bit of old music on.
No. Because what you just said is you like dressing un-hip, as if what's cool has anything to do with it. So in a way you're being just as bad as all those people who can't stand to be un-hip.
I, on the other hand, do what I want to do. I don't care about how 'hip' it is.

She wants you to be current? HAHA! Claim that you are rejecting "current" things because you are a hipster! What is more hip than that =P?
...I've never really known what "hip" means. Too much work trying to figure out what the current thing is in any case. I wear what I wear because it appeals to me (usually by being either comfortable or nigh-indestructible), listen to what I listen to for the same reason.
But then, I've always been antisocial. Now I have a scary reputation and guns to reinforce my solitude. If that's not your thing, though, you may want to find a group of people who can accept your style.
