Just musing. That term seems to have disappeared, but many of the socially-aware, upper-middle-class, (mainly) liberal-leaning, art-loving qualities seem to be shared...? Interesting thing - this distinguishing/labelling business! Fun too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-639558 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 20:30:51 +0000 Jonesy 639558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not saying I *am* hip or a hipster, only that my behaviors and background could get me categorized as hip or a hipster :). A fine distinction, but perhaps those categorized as hipsters like to split hairs a lot? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-639548 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 20:27:29 +0000 HelenInCanada 639548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey! I did not know being a liberal arts major and liking fresh locally-produced fruits &amp; veggies makes you hip! WOO HOO!

The video is creepy, though. I didn't even know bands made music videos any more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-639400 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:22:53 +0000 HelenInCanada 639400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha - yes! My 12-year old belts out the "Somebody that I Used to Know" chorus all day long. Hipster in training - LOL! That song caught my ear because I was like, "IS THAT STING???" Speaking of the 80s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-639386 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:11:21 +0000 catgirl 639386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helen, same here! My DH and I were just talking about how we like that song, which we only know because of our 8 year old. It reminds me of certain old 80s music (Peter Gabriel, maybe?). So maybe our child is a mini-hipster! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-639384 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:09:44 +0000 HelenInCanada 639384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's really funny is that I LOVE Gotye (minus the mega creepy video, though I'm editing to add that the mosaic-painting/washing off bit is creative) and I am far from being a hipster. :P</p> <p>ETA: I SO echo the being-irked feeling from the eye-rolling that goes on when you show enthusiasm about music/a movie/whathaveyou that is 'mainstream' or God forbid 'commercial'. Also the idea that the 'suburbs' (yes, those places with houses, schools, and supermarkets that people use) are 'not cool'. Huh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-639255 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:48:17 +0000 Astrid 639255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really had to laugh at this last comment: "How do you really feel about hipster culture? If you're reading this on your Macbook in a coffee shop while drinking chai tea and wearing thrifted flannel, I think we already have your vote, thanks." </p> <p>Kari sums up perfectly how I feel about all the hipsters around here: "I'm not bothered by the way hipsters dress; it's the aloof/pretentious attitude I sometimes see, the attempt to give the impression of being above the crowd while really going along with it, the dismissal of something a friend or acquaintance likes because its too mainstream, that irks me." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-639248 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:41:27 +0000 Mander 639248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, wait, being cool is not even knowing that there are trends to buck?</p> <p>If that's the case then I am so cool that I can't even think of a good analogy for it. We're talking way beyond glaciers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-637435 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 17:15:26 +0000 Mochi 637435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh gawd, had to comment because I live in Hipsterville surrounded by hipsters, but they're not all that pretentious or full of themselves, all things considered. There's an aspect of it that's tattoo-heavy and dive bar-y, as well as more intellectually-driven with the nerdy glasses frames and converse sneakers. I I find it charming because I escaped from the suburbs. </p> <p>I don't know if this even relates but I met a friendly hipster today (at the coffee house, naturally) and was asking him how hubby and I could get to know more people in our neighborhood. He confirmed what other people have repeatedly told me: get a dog. Dogs are very hip here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-637338 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 15:10:26 +0000 kimana517 637338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man, my DH hates "Somebody That I Used to Know" with a passion. I must share that with him. </p> <p>(But I gotta say I love the outfits you and the author like too. They don't look hipster to me at all!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-637324 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:42:08 +0000 Claudia 637324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enjoyed that. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-637323 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:41:22 +0000 Anonymous 637323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny post! I still only have a vague idea of what a hipster is....must Google.</p> <p>As a side note, DD (who wears contacts and then non-prescription *nerd* glasses on top of them from Rue 21) came home from school a few weeks ago telling me about a really cool girl who *makes* high waisted shorts (this is really *in* with her set and they are hard to find) and sells them online. I was impressed...till a friend of hers wore a pair over to our house the other day. Using my acute skills of observation, it looks like the budding entrepreneur is buying Mom jeans from Goodwill, cutting them off, fraying the edges and them Bedazzling them with studs. I told DD we would not be buying any on-line shorts from said cool girl, as we can *so* make those ourselves. I believe the word *vintage* was even being bandied about. I had a good laugh over that one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-637083 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 04:40:22 +0000 Kari 637083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It almost seems like the stereotype of being a hipster is to pick and choose which trends you follow (or which off trend item to embrace) but only if you're picking and choosing the same things as everyone else. (note that I said its the stereotype; it doesn't mean that all fit the mold.)</p> <p>I'm not bothered by the way hipsters dress; it's the aloof/pretentious attitude I sometimes see, the attempt to give the impression of being above the crowd while really going along with it, the dismissal of something a friend or acquaintance likes because its too mainstream, that irks me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-637049 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 03:58:18 +0000 rae 637049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL @ BJ... hahahaha!</p> <p>Amen, Christieanne! Cool *makes* the trends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-637046 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 03:55:31 +0000 christieanne 637046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some bars?? I read the blog yesterday and was dying with laughter. SF/Oakland/etc. are so full of hipsters lately. I have to be in the right mood to deal with them or I just want to say "get over yourself".<br /> Hip is always trying to stay up trends, while Cool is not even know they exist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-637042 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 03:48:08 +0000 cciele 637042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, thanks for the laugh! Some bars (and entire neighborhoods) in SF are inundated with hipsters... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-637020 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 03:26:21 +0000 Mo 637020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must have been living too isolated, or just not up on what is 'hip' (as the song says) to know a hipster if I see one. But, honestly, odds are I haven't seen one, save for basketball stars having press conferences lately on tv. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-637000 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 03:11:29 +0000 bj1111 637000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>no...but it burns if no one else calls you a hipster so you can angrily deny it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-636997 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 03:10:36 +0000 catgirl 636997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RAE! I actually thought of you when I saw it! But wasn't sure you'd want something that messy. You would ROCK that haircut! I wish I could wear bangs and not look like I'm still in kindergarten wearing a ladybug dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funny-blog-post-on-hipsters#post-636996 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 03:07:56 +0000 rae 636996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only a true hipster would deny being a hipster... oh wait, that's the messiah... </p> <p>I just saved the shaggy hair pic to take to my next hair appointment.
