ECH, in answer to your question...

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Pretty much everyone who claims not to be a hipster is one. The hipsterest thing to do these days is hating hipsters.

Outside the Willamette Valley, in the "real" world, that statement doesn't hold much water.

Or, rather, hipsters might think it's cool to hate hipsters, but EVERYBODY else actually DOES hate hipsters.

If you're not a hipster, the real answer to "how do you feel about hipsters" is "What the fuck is a hipster?"

Does that mean that since we all know what hipsters are we are all hipsters?

No.

The real test is whether hipsters (who think they are not hipsters) think you're a hipster.

I think there's a decent chance that hipsters are just what happens to the emo crowd once they graduate high school.

Emo kids really really like being picked on though.  That's about the only thing I like about them, If I am cruel to them it is a mutually gratifying activity rather than just bullying.  I don't think Hipsters have that trait.

I dunno...I spent most of the winter trying to pick goad random hipsters into taking a swing at me by saying things that were so horrible that if some stranger on the street had said that to me (the very picture of even-tempered tolerance), I'd have ripped off their head and shit down their throat. And not one of them even so much as stepped in my direction. I can only conclude that they found being publicly and loudly berated and mocked by a stranger to be a pleasurable experience.

I think I have found something I like about Hipsters then.

The Geezer who got stapled to some wood for a couple of days, by the Jews/Romans.

That's most of them.

Now you're just being deliberately obtuse! (Christ! you Cornish/Welshmen)

1.  Not at all.  It turns out that there is a near-infinite amount of Jesi.  There's the retard Jesus (Downs babies need Jesus, too), the Cholo Jesus (we just call him "Vato"), the Thank You Black Jesus, the Cornish Jesus (he's the one bellowing incoherently).  There is no Jesus for Welsh people, because they keep fucking up his name with their consonants.

2.  Please do never Cornish/Welsh.  The two should never be mentioned together like that.  We Cornish don't rule the world because we're too smart to want the job, and the Welsh don't rule the world because they're too busy stabbing each other over the last pint of Watney's.

I still like Vampire Jesus.  Who is turning all Christians into his minions by having them drink his blood.

Tezcatlipoca. (Don't quote me)

Now I KNOW you're just trying to get my goat. Though nowhere in this thread was that question asked.

That they are emotional masochists.  But yes, that too.  I like people who's sammiches I can take.  Well, I like their sammiches at least.

No, but if it were, that would be the answer.

I'm not so much trying to get your goat as saying something that I knew would get your goat, but decided to talk about anyway.

[Don Coyote]

What exactly were you doing ECH?

when?

To goad hipsters.

[East Coast Hustle]

I thought I explained that. I approached them randomly on the street (generally the most egregious-looking ones) and called them everything but a white man.

ECH...most people aren't really going to react too terrible violent to some crazy man hurling abuses at them.

[East Coast Hustle]

but the thing is, I'm not crazy. And I insulted them in calm, mocking tones. Never raised my voice, never gave the impression of impending violence.

not so much "YOU FUCKING HIPSTER FUCKBAG LOOK AT YOU YOU STUPID SHITWRINKLE!!!!"

but more "Hey, those neon pink sunglasses really bring out the color of your flaming vagina. Also, your mom called, she wants her bike back. I lied, she didn't call, she just yelled to me from my bathroom while she was emptying all the semen from her diaphragm."
