I see more 30somethings in spandex and 10 speeds than I do 20somethings with tight jeans and aerospoked fixed gears. I say we reconsider who we are calling hipsters.

http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/5940/hipstersv1.jpg Take the quiz to find out if YOU ARE A HIPSTER!!! :lol: http://www.timeout.com/newyork/quiz/...ster-quiz?qp=1 Your Score: 18 I shop at Urban Outfitters and like the Cure. You have some sense of style and decent musical appreciation, but there are some glaring holes in your hipster resume. Don't worry. In this case holes in your resume are a positive thing, because it is a job that you probably don't want. |
Hipster may have once been a term for describing a certain type of person who fits into a certain sub-culture. Now it is just a fashion. Yes, we are "infested" with them in SF, but these days it seems that it is just a culture of fashion and nothing else. I have seen groups of middle schoolers wearing skinny jeans, big glasses, 80s shirts, and just generally having that rockstar/junkie look. Similarly i have seen frat boy types that have obviously adopted the fashion, only with designer clothes that are super expensive, but have that vintage/thrift store look.
It's a fashion that is being fed to them just as skateboard culture and fashion was fed to the masses in the 90s. |

TRaffic Jammer:
Your Score: -482 What's a Moz? We hate to be the ones that have to break this to you, but unless khaki-colored, baggy cargo pants, Yanni and a pleasant disposition come back into style, you're consigned to a life of unremarkable blandness. We're sorry. |
-482 BS you try to lose/win ... :lol:
You street fixie riding model you ... hahahaha |
maybe i am a hipster...
"The entry for "hipsters" defined it as "characters who like hot jazz." [2]" |
Wait a second! If you like the Cure you are a hipster? What about if you liked them in the 80's? Does that count for anything? And don't get me started about Joy Division...

I know, it seems not even the authors of the quiz were old enough to listen to this stuff in the 70's and 80's.

How is it possible to be so unhip in 10 questions? :lol: Jokes aside, I've know many models in the past and yea, it's some seriously long drawn out stretches of mind numbing boredom and discomfort.
|
yea... think 16 interviews a day, with 15-45min traveling inbetween, with lines of 50-350 people, to finally have them say "no we wanted dark hair".
the best analogy is "Getting a blow job for 30 min, then having you **** shoved in bucket of ice" but the drinking in public/lines and girls makes it kinda easier |
Participating in that quiz makes you a hipster.

And then last week...it happened to me. I saw these two guys with heavy tatoos, stringy hair, no helmet, platform pedals and flat bars. Hit me like a ton of bricks "so that's what they're talking about" Am I close? [by the way...no judgement here, except for the lack of helmet] on a serious note... whats a heavy tattoo? heavily laden under tattooed duress? |
