Hipsters fucking love the hurdy-gurdy

[Nephew Twiddleton]

ZOMG THAT SLAYER T-SHIRT IS SO AWESOME! I LOVE IT!

Ok, so a hipster would buy a Slayer shirt on the basis that it's so awesome, whereas the metalhead would buy it because s/he likes Slayer.

The only people who like Slayer are hipsters, though.

Metal was metal in 1980. In 2010, it's a thing college kids are into.

So you like Slayer then?

What is your logic behind that question? I see none.

Hipsters like Slayer, you identify as a hipster, therefore you must like Slayer.

What about me, on those days when I'm wearing all orange? DEFINITELY over the top.

You would die if you saw my new handbag.

It's the obnoxious orange plaid one. Actual colors are much brighter in person...I mean, I saw it from ACROSS the store and even paid FULL PRICE for it. It was love at first sight!

Oh CHRIST that's 

[Doktor Howl]

watch for this happening to steampunk in the next 2-3 years.

Any minute now you're going to be party to a conversation about how I used to be steampunk before it was popular. I'm an authentic steam punk.

BUT IT'S TRUE.

-Suu
Was steampunk before it was popular.

But it's irrelevant.

agreed.  it's like saying to people that you listened *insert band name* before they released an album that got them mainstream attention.

I've actually had people say this to me with some sort of fucked up air of superiority.

"New Aerosmith sucks!"

Translation:  I was listening to them for years before everyone who listens to them now.

vs

"New Metallica sucks!"

Translation:  We already have a Soundgarden.

Someone actually needs to write Hipster Shrugged, btw.

Or Moby Hipster.

Or Hipster the Obscure.

Or The Old Hipster and the Sea.

It makes her a cutting-edge hipster!

I once knew a guy, back in the army, that would stop listening to bands when they became popular.

He never understood why I giggled when he said that.

Ahahahaha! That reminds me of when I wanted to get my nose pierced and one of my friends said "Nose rings were cool like five years ago but I would never get one now because EVERYONE'S getting them".

I got my nose pierced anyway, because who the fuck cares?

I am opposed to this.  Piercing or tattooing the female form is like drawing eyeliner on the Mona Lisa.

You can't improve perfection.

However, that's just my personal opinion.

Except Soundgarden did it better.

According to your "logic", since capybaras are mammals, all mammals are capybaras.

Refer to Howl:

All people who like Slayer are hipsters.

Not all hipsters like Slayer.

Your opinion is valid, but I wanted a nose ring.

It's still in, 20 years later, and I still like it.

Capybaras aren't mammals.  They are a dangerous, poisonous creature from Wizardy 1.

Which is why I'm going to keep doing Steampunk, even when it's passe.

The third line of the Dok quote says that the above two statements contradict each other.

Good on ya, if you like it.

But I maintain that trying to improve perfection leads to Portlandism.

The best part is that it blends into my obnoxious orange hoodie.

Lindsay Wagner would probably tell you where you can shove your opinion.    and then rip out your spleen.
