Hipsters fucking love the hurdy-gurdy

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

I think I'm glad I'm just to old to have to worry about any of this.  At some point in your life you have to decide whether or not you give a flying fuck about what anyone else around you says, does, wears, lives etc...  I decided I really don't care.

I do know if I saw someone on those butt ugly plaid shoe/boots I would probably have a stroke from laughing so damn hard.

I'm pretty sure I'm a hipster.

-thick frame glasses.

-each ear has two earrings.

-MOUSTACHE.

-plays in indie rock band.

-pretentious music fuck.

-spent majority of trust fund getting drunk.

No, all the hipsters just wanna be liek YUO.

That's what all my friends say about each other. I no longer buy into it. We're not exceptions because we're somehow "special" or "smarter" or "authentic" or "did it first". If we look enough like hipsters that people think we're hipsters, then for all intents and purposes we're hipsters. All the rest of it is just monkey categorization and us/them bullshit.

I knew it.

Nope.  

You do what you do because you like it, as far as I've ever seen, not because you feel "ironic".

Dok,
Isn't buying this "just another case of monkeyism" argument.

[LMNO]

Ok, now I'm just confused.


WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT MY OPINION IS?

Who decides who is authentic and who's being ironic? Most youth will say they do or wear something because they like it. That whole "ironic" hipster thing is from ten years ago. Hipsters (AKA "young people") are now into genuinely liking things that used to only be liked ironically.

The "irony" thing was so much more applicable to our generation; GenXers were the most "ironic" fucks ever. I might wear something because they think it's funny... I might even think it's cool. If I like something I think it's cool. Most people think the stuff they like is cool, including the stuff they think is funny. Including stuff they think is funny because it's ironic.

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.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Basically, there is no reason for people like me & Alphapance to think we are, despite looking like hipsters (aging hipsters, but hipsters nonetheless), somehow not hipsters, unless we believe we are somehow special, unique, and set apart from everyone else who also look like hipsters. In other words, we would have to believe in some kind of elite qualities which we are unique in possessing.

I'm not buying into it.

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!

Fair enough.

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 was traumatized, Nigel.  Even the decor was early Abba.  Richter had to forcibly restrain me from self-immolation using a Fondu burner.

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

[Elder Iptuous]

no need. i actually totally get you.
the folks you are talking about will drop the Uke like a hot potato the first time they hear a crowd of average joes applauding a serious performance that deserves it...

i was just taking the opportunity to pique curiosity and inspire some youtube searching, because i just heard some of the stuff about a month ago and was blown away...
