“Age has nothing to do with it. Hipsters just act like fucking assholes.”

Amen to that!

And can we get over the idea that anyone critical is a jealous fattie? I mean it’s a laughable cliche at this point. It’s not remotely insightful, except as an insight into anyone who would actually believe that. Being a hipster is not the same as being hip, it’s being TRAGICALLY hip. The article covers nuances about hipsterdom that are obviously lost on you and anyone who doesn’t find hipsterdom laughable. If you can read that and reduce it to someone being jealous, that is truly pitiful.

Guess what? I don’t want to be a hipster. I’m attractive, I’m young, I like things I think are pretty darn cool but that I came to on my own and feel passionate about. I would not want to be a hipster wearing a keffiyeh that everyone else is wearing, looking painfully insecure and wanly trying to cover it up with a ‘too cool’ attitude (which is not only transparent but comes off as ‘jerk’ way more than ‘cool’).

i DEF don’t think hipsters are younger and more fashionable than me. i hate the word too, but what else can i call an American Apparel sheep, limpdick, pussy dork that doesn’t try anything new or like shit without running it by his friends first or making sure it’s not too uncool? trying to make up some weird eccentricity to mask the fact that they are dull and lack personality. hating loudly on sports (not cause they simply don’t give a shit about em, if you listen closely to what they are saying it’s obvious that they are simply jealous they can’t do anything requiring any sort of physical fortitude). always having this ‘us vs. them’ shit going and hating on the fact that people could give a fuck what they think about shit. there are people like that in every “group” : people who live their entire lives trying to make themselves feel like they are better than others when they are obsessed with how the world perceives them. and it is SO OBVIOUS

fuck those people. that’s what everyone hates. it’s not people who like to experiment with clothing or are young (or even not that young, fuggit) and do what they please WITHOUT trying to prove to those people they proclaim to hate how cool they are to get some validation and self-esteem they can’t muster up on their own. we need more people like that…real people.

“The mathematical explanation for this huge surge of memes is called an asymptote.”

I’m not going to need a math lesson from a fucking faggot that doesn’t know which side of a graph the y-axis goes on.

I don’t think hipsters are neccessarily “kids these days”. There’s plenty of these dickheads in their thirties. I see them at gallery openings all the time. They look at me in my reasonably sized blue jeans and button down shirt like I just suggested the whole room drink an expensive beer then laugh ironically with their pals in headbands, fugly blue flannel and gross scraggily beards.

Age has nothing to do with it. Hipsters just act like fucking assholes.

That graph was drunk/nerdy as hell.

(Also, I don’t think you understand the word “asymptote.”)

“Shitting on people younger than you is not rocket science.” *heh* Says the man who just used a graph to assist him in shitting on the people that were shitting on him for being younger than him.

I am OLD MAN and I can’t say I ever think to myself “These kids today!” just because, well, I was those kids today at some point. I was dumb as shit. As was the generation before me. As was the generation before them. As will be all the generations the succeed every generation. Being dumb as shit is what defines being “kids today” because that’s what has always defined that. It’s not an insult, mind you, it is what is is. However, when you whip out “Kids today…” to talk about their lacking in whatever it is that you thought was the important defining thing when you were a kid and YOU were dumb as shit, well, that just means you’re OLD and dumb as shit. It means you didn’t learn not to be dumb as shit and let kids learn from their own being dumb as shit. You kept being dumb as shit and now that “kids today” are dumb as shit in their own special way you find their brand of dumb as shit abhorrent, immoral, apathetic and general lacking in substance.

Who cares what a hipster is, anyway? The same people that cared who teeny boppers were? The same people that care who zoot suiters were? The same people that cared who stoners were? The same people that care who slackers were? The same people who cared who flappers were? The same people that cared who swingers (both 40s and 70s swingers) were? Nobody cares. Nobody.
