Do you ever get called a hipster?

[Crazy_Dude]

I do like a lot of Indie bands but it kinda ends there. I would never wear skinny jeans or those fake glasses. There are some `Hipsters` in the city I go to school. But I never heard anyone being called one.

Am I The Only One Who doesn't mind Hipsters.

Oh and no I've never been called one, there's not really that many around here, if any,

Same here. I don't really mind hipsters as long as they don't act all superior and shit. But then again that isn't really exclusive to hipsters, thats just being an obnoxious, conceited douchebag.

As for the whole "hipster" thing in general, the definition of a "hipster" can actually pretty loose, vague, inconsistent and can kinda fit anyone. Going through this thread, I've seen a bit of considerable proof of that. Plus, some of the qualifications for what make someone a hipster are pretty fucking stupid. Like for example, the whole plaid shirt argument I seem to hear. What the hell is wrong with plaid or checkered patterns? I can understand the distaste with skinny jeans but those aren't by definition "hipster" either. Just something that randomly got tacked on when a sudden influx of people took on the look. Oh and this:

Spoiler

So, if you have glasses with slightly bigger frames, enjoy a good cup of tea, know how to knit, find older things interesting, own a cat, and aren't over the age of 70, you're a hipster and in turn, a douchebag.

I like Tea and own a cat. Son of a *****!

I guess I'm a hipster and didn't even know it. lol :/

Fair enough, but to me the shirt looks ugly as all hell. Even with the color scheme it looks like a brightly colorful mess on a perfectly good shirt.

A couple of times when smoking. I wear glasses, too, so that doesn't help. I smoked before it was Hipster fashion! And I need glasses to avoid walking into a road!

Once, I was crossing the street somewhere other than a crosswalk and some people said "Ohhhh, look at the hipster!"

I take offense to that. Hipsters are usually retro ironic self-aware dbags who all need to die. I'm just more of a misanthropic asshole, there's a big difference!

Your dp is very hipster.

Step 1. Grab yesterdays pair of crumpled jeans from the floor and put them on.
Step 2. Put on first t-shirt you find in dresser, regardless of what it actually says.

Yep, pretty much what I do. I unless I have to wear my work uniform. The last time my workplace had a casual day, I was a dog eared cigarette and an eyebrow piercing away from looking like I was in the process of robbing the place. >.>

OT: The only time I've ever been called a hipster has been in jest.

 

[Tips_of_Fingers]

No, because I hate hipsters with a passion. I'm into hardcore so I dress accordingly.

What's the appropriate dress code for fans of Hardcore? I'm kinda worried that I've been dressing wrong all these years.

OT: I've never been called a hipster. When the whole 'emo' phase was around (actually, is it still around?) whilst I was at school I used to get called that by the 'cool' kids. I have no idea why, I never wore anything remotely related to the emo scene. Oh the absurdity of teenage labels.

 

[thylasos]

Ah. The OP asks a more specific question than the thread title... fair enough.

I'm fairly sure I've never been called a hipster for any reason, though references have been made to my being behind the times in various ways, in the context of the more specific question.

I have no idea what "dp" is.

And hipsters generally act like they're better than everyone else, true. That's not a trait unique to hipsters. Hipsters also only do trendy things, which is probably the furthest from my own hobbies: sitting in my dorm and ignoring the outside world.

 

[Strain42]

Cant say that I have ever been called a hipster before. I have been told that I have very eclectic tastes in pretty much everything though.

I agree. I've also never understood when people act like Hipsters "don't care how they dress" most hipsters I've ever seen put more effort into looking like they don't care than someone who actually does care.

Here's how to dress like you don't care

Step 1. Grab yesterdays pair of crumpled jeans from the floor and put them on
Step 2. Put on first t-shirt you find in dresser, regardless of what it actually says

You're done.

Actually thats slightly wrong. Step 2 is actually put on first t-shirt you find laying in the laundry basket because you are to lazy to fold and put away your laundry.

I stand humbly corrected.

Holy Shit does that mean I don't care how I dress? I didn't notice.

OT. I have never been directly called a hipster, but I have had people claim that I am shitting on something because it is popular. Of course said thing was Twilight, and when I told them I had read the books they STILL thought I was being hipsterish. Merh.

 

[Dango]

Once, by an Ex-Escapist, and I got pretty pissed at him.

 

[Laser Priest]

Frequently, and I'm not sure why.

This always pops to mind:

 

[Cactoos]

Sometimes, yeah, but that's ironically, which now that I think of it makes the calling me a hipster hipster in itself...

Yup.
