Hipsters fucking love the hurdy-gurdy

[Doktor Howl]

Have you seen how "hipsters" have now been subdivided into all these categories that basically includes jocks? Totally stupid. The way the word is being used now, not only is everybody a hipster, but hipsters like EVERYTHING. Unironically.

No, I haven't seen that.  I'm directing my wretched and vile hatred at a particular group, in revenge for what they subjected me to.  For example, if you play the ukelele and your name isn't Tiny Tim, you should be covered in butter and chives and be given to the CHUD under Portland.

Likewise, if you wear non-shaded, non-prescription glasses, or some goofy fucking flipped cap, you should be thrown in a settling pond, weighed down by a fixed-gear bike.

Hipster has a particular definition for me, "Hipster Classic", so to speak, and the next time I have to try to enjoy a Turkish coffee while one of them drones on and on about how "ironic" his pathetic little life is, I'm going to steal Richter's morning star and CLEANSE THE FUCKING TEMPLE!

Why is every goddam thing in the world being redefined lately?

Meme creep?

When I was a kid, and I dressed Goth or punk, I wasn't cool, and I sure as hell wasn't hip, you know what I was called?

"Weird"
"Gay"
"Stupid"
"Retarded"
"Loser"
"Scrub"

et al.

Those are all words that apply to Hipsters, depending on which other Hipsters you ask.

I heard some Ukulele at the Honolulu Ukulele Festival that was absolutely incredible....

Go ahead.  Tell me to explain why that's different.  Be my fucking guest.

I play the 'ukulele, poorly, but I play it.

Am I a hipster? Does my particular odd manner of dress make me a hipster? I'm a pretty weird person, is that hipster?

Are hipsters into bugs or something? Ironically, I mean.

[LMNO]

Freaks =/= hipsters.




Incidentally, I only use the term "freak" as a compliment.

I watched a B horror about killer locusts. I thought of you and how you would have been in the middle of that shit.

I would have figured out a way to control them and become a nigh-invincible God of the Swarm.

This.

And I think I should leave now.

I think my problem is that "hipster" sounds like it means simply "pretentious asshole".

Why?

Why?

Because I went from describing an evening that filled me with loathing, to having everyone ask me if they're a hipster and do I hate them.

Because my opinion on that evening, and the sorts of shitbags that made it so horrible, has apparently rendered me into the next incarnation of Lester Maddox.

You know well I couldn't care less if some people label me a hipster. I was just curious. I could un-ironically start calling myself a hipster. What would they think then?

And no, you're good, Roger.

I know.  But it seemed that people were just lining the fuck up.

It doesn't much matter to me what I am or what I am not, and now that I'm in my mid 30s I don't think it really matters much anyway.  I was the "weird" "alternative" kid in school.  Now I'm just another white middle-class schmoe.  I don't like people much and really don't do much socializing outside of work-related events so maybe I'm like a hermit hipster or something. Though I suppose being a punster is bad enough.

Ahh, the rewards of just being a hick.
