Poll: Hipsters

[Zetsubou]

I AM NOT A HIPSTER.

You rather sound like one, judging by your knowledge of the hipster paradox, stating that we are jealous of hipsters, and using the words 'corporate' and 'consumerist'. Honestly, those are buzzwords. I'm happy to buy my own clothes rather than produce it; it is very hard to make even a goddamn white tee.

I don't hate people who have their own tastes, I hate people who are so absolutely "counterculture" that they reject everything that is ever known and try to live a life of apathy about everything.

I don't reject things because of popularity, just cause contra hit no1 in the world doesn't meant I don't like it.

Just because anco has become (relatively) well known doesn't mean I've stopped liking them, I will stand by them as long as they keep making good music.

Just because I associate myself with certain artistic and cultural things doesn't mean i'm a blind conformist, it doesn't make a hater of all other culture, it doesn't make me a douchebag, it doesn't make me subhuman, it doesn't make me despise anyone who isn't in the same "scene" as me.

I'm not that shallow.

I do respect people who are individuals however, I'd be more likely to interact with someone who looks like an interesting, cultured, intelligent person than someone who just looks exactly like everybody else.

I have only one response to this post.


WOOOOOOOH VAMPIRE WEEKEND!

I'm pretty sure my sister is a wannabe hipster, ever since she's seen juno.

I have no problem with them.

Honestly, I think it's someone mocking hipsters by semi-trolling. This way, they can make fun of hipsters, while pissing people off. Having their cake and eating it too. Of course, since the user is trolling ironically, there's a very good chance they are a hipster, since hipsters love irony.

It's a troll pretending to be a hipster who is being ironic.
Or it's a hipster being ironic.

So I'm picturing a hipster in front of a monitor, with his hipster friends over his shoulder, going "Look at how ironic I'm being, I'm so unique I'm parodying our own social group on an obscure gaming forum while simultaneously ironically trolling them by defending our social group under the guise of another mainstreamer. Those mainstream conformists are such rubes that they can't make heads or tails of it."

Funny you make this thread, because for the longest time I imagined most people on the Escapist as Hipsters.

 

[whycantibelinus]

I absolutely hate the stereotypical hipster, which many many of them seem to be, because they act as if they are incredibly open minded and on the cutting edge of art, music, and fashion, yet are ironically incredibly closed minded about anything and are extremely petty about most everything and fucking HAVE to be right about absolutely anything that they talk about. So I'd agree with you're calling them douche bags. =-)

 

[rokkolpo]

they don't bother me.

i find their views on life......interesting.

 

[Red Right Hand]

I only know one, and I hate that guy.

You just completely blew my mind with that one.

[TheNumber1Zero]

After readin the Urban Dictionary description, I can't say that I hate them
Sometimes I need a good laugh, seeing a Hipster helps me get that laugh.

Otherwise they can go ahead and act like idiots, it'll come back to them once they have regained common sense and others learn of their Hipster pasts.

Neutral.

Also speaking of Hipsters, i have GOT to share this:

Video blocked in my country T.T

OT: Hippies aren't known for their charitable work right? Don't they just smoke weed and protest?

a good definition of a hipster?

I picked "annoying"

 

[literallyanythingelse]

For definition of hipster, see http://lookatthisfuckinhipster.com/

I'm not bothered by them really, as long as they don't talk to me.

EDIT Damn ninja'd

 

[UltraParanoia]

The guy hipsters around here piss me off a lot.

The women hipsters are different, it's really easy to get them to sleep with me, and I find glasses hot. I think if I found a naturally redheaded asian girl wearing glasses I might die out of orgasmic joy.
