How many here can relate?

hating on hipsters is too mainstream now, conformist

hipsters have been made fun of so much that its now cooler to actually be a hipster than make fun of them

Meh, most of it was the same old jokes. However;

"How did we end up in the actual woods?"

"I don't know, I'm over it. It's pretty lame"

was pretty damn funny

"This is a $300 vest". Haha! Hilarious.

I prefer to get my Hipsters 4 at a time

Hipsters are simply indifferent emos...

Exactly!

Fixed gear bikes used to be out-of-the-mainstream which made them "in." They became so popular that the major manufacturers started producing fixed gear bikes, putting them into the mainstream, which made them "out." So now, since fixed gear bikes are "out" again, they are actually "in."

Unless, of course, your fixed gear bike is a road bike conversion. In that case it started life as "in" until it was converted to fixed gear which was never "in," even among the other fixed gear riders, so it was always "out" which is actually "in."

Got that?

whoa. Shouldn't have attempted to read the forums at 9.50 am... too early..
my brain hurts

This has got to be my favorite post ... ever. :thumb:

I've been wrestling with this conflict for around 13 years now....except when I first started having issues with this, it was the punks instead of the hipsters. Good grief. Who cares, right!?

so, if you're in, you're in. if you're out, you're in.

man, this is easy!

I wear tight pants, watch art films and listen to underground music, and drink cheap beer but I also have stupid looking mountain shoes for my SPD pedals, use fenders, and care about things. I would ask but I guess I'm probably a hipster.

nobody is a hipster. if you live on a trust fund / daddy's money and have a super trendy bike messenger job then you can get **** for being a hipster in my opinion. otherwise, you're fine. that's where i draw the line at least.

really? that's pretty shallow reasoning for classifying someone as being as shallow as a hipster. having money or not doesn't make a damn bit of difference as to whether someone is a hipster. Placing style and fashion over substance is what counts on that one, and I've known just as many non-parent subsidized kids that are guilty of this as not. You front Portland in your handle, maybe that makes you a hipster? Sounds about as plausible as the rationale you've given there...

I go to art school
I wear tight pants
I appreciate underground indy
I have strange taste in clothes
I wear thick framed glasses
I ride a fixed gear conversion with lime green veeps and matchy match seat and handlebars because it looks cool.

I'm the worst of both worlds.

^^^^ I'm confused as to where you're belonging to the non hipster world part of the argument is.....????

^^ My point exactly.

Is anyone in this thread speaking English?

Me no speaka da English

I dress like a hipster. I don't shower often. My bike isn't all "Tarked out". I'm glad people are making videos about us on youtube. The movement gains more notoriety. ;)

grob grob grob grob grob.

grob grob grob grob grob.

so, if you're in, you're in. if you're out, you're in.

man, this is easy!

Nope, you still don't get it.
If you want to be in, you're out. If you don't care that you're out, you're in.

i have pdx in my name since "luno" was taken and it was the first thing i could think of. i personally think the hipster population is kinda before my time. like people who are 20-35 right now are kind of in the hipster-range i think, where there's a possibility of being a hipster. but i think hipsters are fine personally. i see a few sometimes around town (maybe?). i don't get what the big deal about hating them is.

but yeah what i don't like is people being completely set for life and then "going to live with all the poor people" and getting a low-paying job, but still retaining a high quality of life. it's kind of demeaning and besides no one who's been poor wants to be poor. so its weird in that way. but i guess that's maybe not hipsters and it's a bad way to define them if it is.


If you don't care that you're out, you're in.

If you don't care that you're out

you're in.

not sure what hipster is to you...but the term hispter is a derogative used by nonhipster...making the non hipster a crybaby instead... i would rather be a hipster than a crybaby...

I'm so over this thread.

"A hipster is just a nerd who does drugs" ---RTMS

That video was just stupid and humorless. I bet the actors had ironic brake-downs after the shoot.

I hope you are not serious. The movement? That is the funniest thing I've heard in a while. I gotta go change my shorts now cause I peed myself a little.

brake-downs

Please tell me that spelling was intentional.

Didn't Bob Dylan write a song about this like 40 years ago? It's not really a new thing.

I DON'T shower often.

I DO buy silly clothes at thrift stores because I think its socially moral.

I DON'T think that there is a 'hipster movement' nor do I really want to be part of any such thing.

Lol

I think ya'll just need to shower more.

You're a ******* pigeon! How often do you shower?!

Nah, I think it wastes water.

everyone has different body chemistry

some people need to shower with a higher frequency than others

And some people think they don't smell bad.

And some people think this thread is ridiculous. Just ride a ****ing bike.

SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE LEGS.
