it is kind of nice though that you can throw on any old pair of clothes / an old t-shirt from your childhood/ gym shoes / old ass pair of jeans and it's considered fashionable. I haven't spent much money on clothes the past year and have been getting good use out of some older stuff and even way old clothes from my dad (extra points for vintage?)
but the kiddie sunglasses piss me off - that is a line i will not cross

Oh, and to add to my post in page 2.
Many hipsters are fun, laidback. Some are not.
But dont forget hispters are an important of any music scene.
And dont forget we are all a little hipsters of some sort

Sometimes I dress like a hipster, I think its ironic.
They're basically a bunch of judgemental faux bohemian attempted postmodernists, who don't understand it and attempt to cover by using the language... badly.
They also tend to be the first ones to "pick" bands, except the bands they "pick" never actually make an impact.
If someone dresses like a hipster but is out having a blast, you really can't say much. They are having fun, end of story.
I have however, walked by extreme hipsters in the lounge rooms of clubs that were standing on a support beam w/ a smug look on their face..literally just there to be seen. Those peeps can f off. If you're not bringing a good vibe take your tacky outfit and go home

Being judgmental is fun. Arguing is fun. I have nothing against hipsters for enjoying those things.
I have no idea what almost everybody has against "being judgmental." I think that having a strong opinion is great, as long as you arrived at it by considered reasoning rather than prejudice.

Oh man, you must be a basically self righteous, narcissistic, naive, cliquey, arrogant nerd.
Hipster.
I fucking hate it when people get labeled as elitist or "hipster" for what you describe above.

I've been called a hipster for ordering a nice bottle of wine during a gig in korea. Not my fault everyone else was drinking 2 dollar pints. That really fucking made the beret on my head want to fly off.

Hipsters to me are wannabe Beatniks.
