can anyone explain hipsters to me? like does anyone know any of them personally? i grew up in new york and i see them all the time but i just can't wrap my mind around the culture

a lot of them are passionate liberals but have money to live in $5000 brooklyn apartments and ride cafe racers to their made up hr jobs. and i don't get the being dirty and folk thing? i mean if you live in san fran or manhattan you are about as far from being environmentally sound as a plastic bottle, do they seriously think anyone is taking their farmer aesthetic that seriously? it's an ironic thing right?

The entire purpose of their dress and behavior is to be hard to understand

It's a youth subculture, so if you are of the appropriate age and get indoctrinated enough to be able to recognize other successful members of the culture you get to keep feeling like one of the cool kids in school for several more years, with all the benefits thereof including girls dating you

Past versions of alternative youth culture music and fashion/lifestyle movements have had a strong element of political involvement, like protesting the Vietnam war or championing the civil rights movement (think "rage against the machine" in the 1990's); this current trend doesn't have much of that, it really is just a bunch of kids with too much money in their $5000 apt in Brooklyn being kind of weird and exclusive and dressing badly.

it's easy to understand. you take the coolest or most popular poo poo from past styles and co-opt it into your own and call it ironic or whatever.

easiest poo poo ever and what's more you can pretty much wear whatever you want as long as you have the confidence to pull it off. people don't need to champion poo poo with our clothes or wear our feelings on our sleeves, that's what the phones and social media are for you old person.

there is such a thing as going too far and being an annoying hipster though just keep it cool.

They had stupid poo poo about cuddle parties in the 90s on that real sex HBO show, was stupid then and is stupid now. Also, most of the people going to these events are mid 30s to late 50s degenerate hippies who have always been awful.

Narcissism and pretentiousness, for example the craze of growing a beard because it somehow makes you more masculine while ignoring the traits that make beards cool to begin with. Lumberjacks and spartans and mountain men and poo poo aren't tough and manly because they have beards, but because they don't live in lofts downtown and ride fixies to the slam poetry reading at the coffee house. It's all a big black hole of I loving Love Science mixed in with a dash of pretending to like bitter as gently caress microbrews because it all makes life a little more exclusive somehow.

You realize that this is almost no one except people whose job-related skills lead to them getting paid much more than other people of their maturity levels right? If 22-year-olds could've gotten the equivalent of $120k/yr jobs in Silicon Valley right out of school 50 years ago, something as dumb and infantile as adult preschool would've been marketed to them 50 years ago.

bitter as gently caress microbrews are pretty awesome, tho. I also like bitter as gently caress tea and coffee, so maybe just bitter (like my heart) stuff is actually good?

gently caress, I feel ya. Grew up in a gentrifying town myself and honestly kinda miss the rough-rear end way the place was when I was a kid. I mean sure there's only been one shooting in the last few years if you don't count when the cops shot those mexican ladies during the Dorner rampage, but rents are loving sky high and the cops hassled me for driving a beater the other day.

ppl grow beards because it is a craze, not because it makes them more masculine. this is how fashion works: other people are doing it, and everybody agrees it's cool, so you do it too.

the reasons facial hair came back into fashion in the first place are probably more complex, but could be summarized as "because it wasn't cool before, which is enough to make it cool now." this is why fashion cycles about every 20 years; long enough for a thing not cool to become cool then become not cool then become cool.

Have you recently taken some amount of MDMA or similar drug. The larger the amount the more generally acceptable hugging large amounts of strangers in a pile for no real reason. or possibly the less you care if its acceptable or not. Either way go for your life!

It goes back to lame if you take to much and require medical attention. That shits a downer.


Also anytime if your a stinking hippy because hippies are cool. gently caress the haters.
