Who are the hipsters on FBG's? (1 Viewer)

[IC FBGCav]

Just wondering.....saw a post about it in the BWW thread.

 

[Keerock]

Cavalier.

 

[Freelove]

Pro: I have a beard; I wear Ray-Ban style glasses and Chucks much of the time; I hang out in coffee shops and dive bars; I own multiple Apple products; I like jazz.

Con: the beard is gray; the rest of my wardrobe is Levis, Hanes t-shirts, and white socks, and the next time I wear a porkpie hat will be the first; I hang out those places because I'm retired and like cheap beverages; I have no idea how to operate my Apple products beyond the Internet browser and a little Threes; I listen to my jazz at home with my wife and dogs, in Iowa.

Since coming back, I'd say the amount of Hipsters on this board is about 70%. Although, I don't think about 40% of them know they are Hipsters.

PM Shuke...pretty sure he has the full list

Hell. Just go look at the Over rated beer thread.

I don't think about 40% of them know they are Hipsters.

Case in point:

Con: the beard is gray; the rest of my wardrobe is Levis, Hanes t-shirts, and white socks, and the next time I wear a porkpie hat will be the first; I hang out those places because I'm retired and like cheap beverages; I have no idea how to operate my Apple products beyond the Internet browser and a little Threes; I listen to my jazz at home with my wife and dogs, in Iowa.

What makes someone a hipster? What are the defining qualities?

I don't think there is any association between hipsters and gay people.

I'm genuinely not sure. I was like this for literal decades before anyone ever uttered the word "hipster." Except the beard was darker then.

The term hipster is old, started in the jazz age, was later used for beatniks and then hippies.

 

[Sabertooth]

Hipsters almost have to have a beard. Right? I don't know if chicks can be hipsters unless they smoke cigards.

Fancy mustache and skinny jeans I would think would qualify.

The stereotype of a gay male is basically the opposite of a stereotypical hipster.

GTFO of here. Really? I thought that was relatively new coinage.

I was totally a hippie. I urbanized, and then went rural. Now I'm just ridiculous everywhere I go and nobody would talk to me if I didn't buy rounds.

I think that depends on their willingness to sport a britpop haircut.

Some hipsters can't grow full beards so they replace them with black rimmed glasses.

I totally get that I'm alone in that evaluation.

Of course, it would be accompanied with a fedora, SnapBack, newsie, 5 panel or slouchy beanie hat.

I feel pretty good that most of this sounds like Mandarin Chinese to me. But as mentioned above: no porkpie hat.

We need to establish something, Pabst Blue Ribbon is not good beer.

All cheap beer is good beer. Heathen.

Do me a favor and tell that to every hipster you meet. These prices are getting out of control.

Wait, will that make a hipster want to buy it more? Nevermind.

Can you please just start a thread chronicling your dating experiences, already? The iron is hot! Strike now. Learn to "Buy low, sell high!", FFA style.

I think there are levels or different groups under the hipster umbrella.

Snapbacks aren't hipster IMO. The group I see them on more than any are urban (or wanting to be urban) teens. The kind that listen to popular rap and are into skateboarding.

i simply maintain my indie credentials. there is a difference.

I agree but I also think some people here think any millennial that isn't in cargo shorts or a polo shirt is a hipster.

 

[Koya]

More Yuppie than hipster here.

Wife is way more princess than grungy and ####.

No thick glasses

Do have a beard, but it's usually short and neat.

Have only two pairs of jeans, one that is "distressed" the old fashioned way - by wearing them.

Usually dress professionally (Hickey Freeman suit, cuffed shirt etc) or preppy (the old preppy, just a freakin polo, not stupid assed popped collars)

Do drive a jeep wrangler - but it's nicely appointed with leather etc.

While I don't hate PBR as it has sentimental value, I can't remember the last time I had one

 

[EYLive]

<===not a hipster. In fact, I drive through Silver Lake just to go hipster bowling with my gas guzzling car.

 

[belljr]

If you do or wear something because it's "ironic" you aren't just a hipster but also a tool bag

I have both

I was rockin' the beard with black rimmed glasses up until alopecia ravaged my beard several weeks ago.

Now that I can't grow a beard I'm starting to rock this facial hair look.

I'm not 100% clear on what skinny jeans are, but I feel like they'd just pinch my junk.

Someone needs to tell the hipsters PBR has GMO's.

Huge hipster flag here.
