http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster

"A hipster is a person who is strongly associated with a subculture that considers itself hip"

"The use of the term hipster for whites who had an affinity for the avant-garde and for African-American culture was popularized in Norman Mailer's 1956 essay The White Negro: Superficial Reflections on the Hipster"

heh.

oh no don't get me wrong, they're fine people, good americans, like they're content to sit back, maybe watch a little mork and mindy on channel 57, maybe kick back a cool coor's sixteen ouncer. They're good fine people, stuart, but they don't know what the queers are doing to the soil.

Don't worry, too many people have dads who ride them. If they were cheep, the kids might start riding them to be "ironic" but $1200 is a lot to spend to be "ironic".

Isn't "expensive irony" Urban Outfitters' current raison d'etre?

I'm still not even quite sure what a hipster is or if I ever really seen one, but I could really care less. I like my Pista and I don't give an arse what anyone thinks of it. :p

Oh ok. But does pista also mean piste?

iridetitus 12-14-06 01:52 PM

man...you cats are harsh. maybe a ride is in order...

SingleSpeeDemon 12-14-06 01:54 PM

I thinks the Pista is pretty sexy. If I had one, I'd get a flat crown fork but other than that they're hot.

I like how this thread is a mixture of linguistics and hipster-bashing.

I'm English, do we have hipsters over here? Would an emo-loving, converse-wearing Brit on an entry-level fixed gear bike be exempt from classification as such on account of his underlying gentility?

Once that shows up you know you should have stopped reading the thread 4 pages ago.

Sh*t man, hipsters are everywhere. Why, you could be reading a post by one of them right now...

Anyway, using correct grammar doesn't seem like a trend that's going to catch on in these forums anytime soon.

And I have a list of 157 who are desperately trying to figure out why they didn't make the list.

Serendipper 12-14-06 06:14 PM

Now this thread has legs. Good job, all...

acavengo 12-14-06 06:52 PM

In Spanish pista also means clue as in "dame una pista".
