We're All Hipsters.

[Epimetheus]

Listen, the only people who give a flying fuck what a "hipster" is are hipsters who are looking down on other hipsters. Hipsters invented the term to describe other hipsters they don't think are as cool as they are. Someone saying that "only hipsters laugh" is a perfect illustration, and the only correct reaction is to laugh and say "OK, so I'm a hipster".

Obviously that's not true, since I'm the furthest thing imaginable from a hipster and yet the only thing someone could call me that would offend me more is "nigger" (ask LGS about that one if she ever dares to show her face around here again).

Seriously, I fucking hate hipsters with a blind passion that nearly overwhelms me, and makes it impossible for me to focus on anything other than the fact that some asstard thinks "we're all hipsters".

What's a hipster?

That's what I meant by hard sell. I realize what phox was saying, and I can dig it. But there's gotta be a cleaner way.

I had to make jokes about it, arguably I had no choice.  But I must admit it is frustrating when one stray portion of a rant draws away the discussion.

I know, I'm just (in all futility) trying to bring the thread back on topic.

Meh, I anticipated that it would turn out this way. And i can't wrap it in a different story, since... he actually used the word "hipster". I'm not trying to sell anything, either. The people who get it, get it. The people who get distracted by "hipster", well, it's a shame really. But I get it, and that's the point. 

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Yeah, it's all good. But I'm glad you had this experience. Makes me want to capture the feeling in its original intensity again.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

"We are all hipsers" is a hard sell.

The way I read it, Phox is calling us hipsters sarcastically, using the mistaken definition this humorless guy came up with to mock him and mock the idea that anyone should care if they're called a hipster.

That's pretty much what I got too. Who gives a flying fuck if something you do gets some asshole hipster to label you a hipster? If people want to call you a hipster, laugh in their faces and say "OK, I'm a hipster".

Then I'd say you have a problem.

Who the fuck cares what a hipster is? We all look like a hipster to somebody.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Ook ook, motherfucker.

[Salty]

After giving this some thought I realized that I totally got where phox was coming from, there was a certain emotion that had nothing to do with hipsters and everything to do with that awesome, unbidden laughter. This was communicated very clearly and I enjoyed it and that's more important than all that other shit.

Yes, I do. But it's one I'm OK with.

No, we don't. Unless that somebody genuinely has absolutely no idea what a hipster is.

[East Coast Hustle]

And it has nothing to do with stupid clothing or bad taste in music. I find it absolutely unforgivable and repugnant that there's a subculture based around the idea that being genuine is undesirable.

[East Coast Hustle]

And I'm completely unrepentant about derailing a thread over a minor and mostly irrelevant point when that point is that some turdburglar says "we're all hipsters".
