He spoke that like a true hipster stereotype. I don't have a problem with hipsters, just the ones who are pretentious assholes. Then again, I hate all pretentious assholes. There are plenty in the "fringe groups" with which I am grouped who are assholes. If you're a decent person, I will get along with you. (My earlier post was merely a joke. I would never shoot an asshole because they aren't worth the cost of the ammo to do so.)sevreon said:I guess its because I've always thought that if I was any sort of stereotype, I was a nerd. When I talk to the majority of my girlfriends about gaming they dont really give a crap. I've always loved gaming since I was little, and got into comic books when I was a teenager. I am totally addicted to RPGs and FPSs and i do crappy fan art and all that nerdy shit.Therumancer said:The people who talk down about hipsters (like me) are pretty much those from the fringes of society. The nerds, geeks, outcasts, intellectuals, etc... such people are what they are due to not liking, or fitting in with the mainstream, never mind worrying about trying to embody the culture of the moment.
The big thing here is that if you've got friends, and are happy, why do you care what the fringe thinks?
If I've come across as the type of person who thinks that theyre awesome, it was totally unintentional.

I will be standing by for when you come to your conclusion.
Pfft... haha, no. You're definitely not a hipster.sevreon said:And I shop at Urban Outfitters and American Apparell too :/
While you do share some similarities with the stereotype, there's one deciding factor. Do you hate things not because they are bad, but because they are popular? And if you do, do you make sure that everyone knows about it?sevreon said:I am a skinny white girl, early 20s. I have visable 'old school' tattoos, I wear 'geeky' glasses, I love comics and retro gaming, and modern gaming aswell in fact, I'm into art and photography, and vintage clothes mainly from charity stores, and my music taste is pretty obscure if I'm honest.

Don't stress. After half a dozen threads on this topic, no-one on this forum has been able to give me a solid definition of "hipster" that stands up to any actual scrutiny, so my conclusion is that what "hipster" really means is "someone I've decided to hate for some arbitrary superficial reason in order to hide my personal insecurities". If anyone gives you any shit take it as a compliment, they're probably overweight, sitting at their computers picking the crusties out of their asscrack and wishing they had a social life.sevreon said:I've been hearing this word quite alot online recently, I've noticed people seem to fucking hate hipsters. And I'm now a little frightend I may actually be the target of all this hatred.
Just to get things straight, I'm from the UK, we don't really have the term hipster here (to my knowledge anyway), so I dont have much info on them, so I urbandictionary'ed it.

The only box I didn't tick is that I'm not from a major American city. Does that mean I'm okay? Do you have to be American to be a dreaded hipster? Or do I just need to learn to accept that people hate me? Will people throw things at me in the States?
Srsly though, I'm worried.

You just described most of this website there.bl4ckh4wk64 said:Do you hate most mainstream things and walk around with a pretentious asshole-ish attitude?
If yes, then you're a hipster.
If no, then you're not.
