Apple has a ridiculously long history of being popular with 'artsy' types, and bases a lot of their marketing around being focused on 'good, high quality design'. The last is complete bullshit marketing of course, but both appeal to one of the true constant of Hipster cultures: elitist perceived artistic merit. For the easier to use crack: Ehh... kind of. The Iphone/Ipad are certainly less complicated than what Android gives you, but the explanation falls flat once we start looking at the GUI on desktops/laptops/etc.

If being a hipster is about avoiding the mainstream, the you become the mainstream, therefore since you are the mainstream you can't be hipster but since your avoid being hipster since it's mainstream , does that still make you a hipster?

About two years ago, I went to an outdoor swing dance event in NYC. It's a scene rife with hipster trends, except everyone there definitely enjoys what they're wearing and doing. One man did catch my attention, though. He wore a straw WW1-era vintage hat, light pinstripe pants, a pastel plaid dress shirt and red suspenders. I asked him why he was at a dance event and not dancing, and he said, "If I sweat too much, it'll mess up the wax," as he re-twirled his handlebar mustache... And that was the day that I met the King of the Hipsters.

I was the first hipster. Deal with it.

I've always liked and liked to wear plaid shirts and jeans. That's just the way I've dressed for as long as I can remember. I also shop at Value Village for clothes, it's so much cheaper than going to a brand name shop and paying $20 for a shirt with a small bird in the corner. I grew up listening to the music that my dad played which is more indie/alternative rock and still listen to it. I wear glasses because I actually need them to see, not those stupid fake big black rimmed ones (the whole I wear glasses but they're fake thing is stupid). I don't see what the big deal is, why people feel the urge to call me "hipster" when I simply go with what I know.

Because 70% of the population are socially dependent extroverts. Hipsters are the people who feel like everyone else will respect them more if they act more independently, which is a paradox since changing for other people is an act of dependency. Also, it is a fallacy because of the fact that it is a trend, meaning it does not express independence at all. All in all you see a bunch of sad, weak minded people who have no idea what they are even thinking, caught in the paradox loop of culture-anticulture annihilation until they choke on craft colas and designer ipad cases. However, who said they weren't being themselves? That is exactly who they are: a confused person with a crippling addiction to social acceptance. Like most people. You see the exact same thing in all social cultures. People will let their clothes define them, and even worse, they will acquire clothes to change their definitions. And most of the time, it looks stupid. Chances are that anyone laughing at a hipster will look equally dumb from the outside. At least they got themselves a laugh, and simultaneously boosted their confidence, *and* the confidence of the hipster(hipsters love that shit. Makes their horses feel higher).

Wait, hipsters have always meant fakers, pretenders and people who want to be hip and new for the sake of being better then other people, not because they like it. They never follow the latest trend, they follow whatever makes them feel better then other people. Back in the late 90's it wasn't popular to be, the jock, anymore it was more popular to be the individualists, be yourself. And those hipsters who followed what was popular like being a bully or being a nerd. Jumped on the bandwagon and tried to be individual even tho they have no idea how to be one because always following the trend. So now they are forced to be themselves which is impossible for them. So they just try to be different. Because being yourself was basically being different from the group and hipsters don't know how to be themselves. Hate how people try to figure out what a hipster is by hearsay and doing studies, and not trough experience.

My school is full of aggressive hipsters and one of them who I didn't even know yelled at me for mentioning I liked anime because in her words,"anime was too mainstream!" ... This is why I don't like hipsters and tend to avoid them.

I'm not a hipster and I don't like hipsters. I don't like when people strive to be something they aren't (extremely colloquial statement). But even though I don't like hipsters, I have to admit that they are good at looking interesting. The hipster style is attractive and it sends the message of being laid back, approachable, and cool. It's just that the hipster style takes so much effort to accomplish that it's anything but chill. But just because someone looks like a hipster or dresses like a hipster, that doesn't mean that they are a hipster. The video says that you know a hipster when you see one, but that's just the dress-up; it doesn't man that that person doesn't dress differently on other days. This topic is complicated because I'm projecting myself into this study, but I know that a lot of people are simpler than me and if they look the part then they are the part, but there are bind to be countless outliers who don't fit that mold.

I mean, who am I to Judge who someone is or stemming what someone aspires to be? If someone wants dress like a hipster, so be it. It doesn't offend or affront me. If I was to go up to that person and say "who do you think you are, dressing that way?" This is offensive!

Doesn't your opening point to the basic flaw in these studies? If the idea of a "hipster" itself is subjective, how are they measuring anything related to "hipster" culture? It sounds more like they've randomly picked various subcultures and decided to make generalizations.

I'm just getting comfortable with the idea of looking presentable to professionals in my career. Naturally, I begin to buy better clothing than the usual band t shirt and cheap hand me downs I used to wear in high school. There can be many forms of a hipster. There are science hipsters, music hipsters, fashion hipsters, anime hipsters, movie hipsters, etc. They all contain their own subculture with their own fashion statements and codes.

You point out that people use the term "gay" to mean "stupid" a lot, and that is the point of my mentioning of "gay" not being interchangeable with "stupid". It's simply not. I am far from advocating PC, but I am an LBGTQ ally and will gladly stand up for equality. PC is not fake, it's a real pain in the ass IMO. Growing up (in Georgia) I used "gay" to mean all sorts of derogatory things, but I have woken up to how painful that is for people who identify as gay. It comes down to our own compassion for others-either you are compassionate or you aren't, and that really sheds a lot of light on how we treat others. In summary, I am an avid rock climber, but I do not live under one at the moment. The word "gay" simply means a sexual orientation to me; nothing negative or derogatory in any way.

Here in Boulder we have imbued the meaning of "gay" to mean a sexual orientation, similar to trans-male or gynesexual, etc. The community here is far beyond the days of getting butthurt over words. They're more concerned with having equality with the people who feel comfortable interchanging the word "gay" with "stupid". There is a WHOLE LOT MORE involved than words. We're talking about quality of life, equality in general, and many other basic human needs that are deprived to the LBGTQ community. Thoughts?

Essential science.

how can i prevent the word hipster from ever being used again

How can they come up with an equation?

Despite looking like what some would call a hipster, I definitely have never bought anything I hate. There's no subconscious convincing myself that I like something. People don't get that "acquired" taste exists outside of fancy alcohols. It applies to fashion, food, music and art. The appreciation of cheap beers is also an acquired taste, some are better than others depending what you like. Some people are afraid to try a style or a trend so they make fun of people who do adopt a trend. Who cares if the style will fade, its fun for the time being and people don't have to be such downers about those willing to experiment. Support each other, the same way you'd support a hockey player even if you're a soccer fan or the way you'd support your relative playing music even if you haven't listened to anything past whats on the radio and don't "get" what they're doing. Don't generalize a group of people and make assumptions on what they're like based on what they wear or what music they listen to or what their hobbies are.

Hipsters hate what they're wearing but convince themselves they like it because they are "bucking the trend". So hipsters are rebelling against themselves? Too funny. I'm not a hipster, but I'm not anti-hipster either. I don't really care about clothes beyond saving money and wearing something that feels comfortable, and usually something plain, not something displaying a band name or a movie name or any of that stuff. And in having something dressy enough for formal occasions and job interviews. And the occasional souvenir that says I traveled to such and such a place. Whether clothing fits or bucks the trend isn't on my mind. If what I wear becomes the next hipster countercultural trend fine by me. If I become a hipster by coincidence then that is fine. If I don't that's fine too. I just don't care about these sorts of things, and I don't see why so many people do.

I love how you described exactly when i was in college

But what if you like dark rim glasses and like scarves and new things that people don't usually know about yet

I'm not one but i think a hipster is one who not one who can't adapt to trends but more like wants to start trends my mixing cloths of different eras or just wants or tries to be original and by that making a whole type class. i like there style and wish i could be but am far from it.

I love spotting a new hipster hair style now and again. I just love how ridiculous they look with parts of their heads shaved with long parts in the same hair style. It makes my day, to be honest they're just modern day clowns for society to laugh at.

We must have labels...my daughter once told me that she could not be labeled because she changed so often...she was in tears when I labeled her "Unclassified"

I listen to indie music and wear overalls ans have a short hair cut and call myself a hipster and he is pretty much telling me that everything i identify with isn't hipsterdom because i cant call myself a hipster unless i want to be a hipster??? I'm so confused.

I have seen one hipster. He was next to a starbucks with an old style bicycle, his feet on the table, and the hat and clothing of a hipster you see on the internet. This shocked me immensely because I live in lee's summit, missouri. You don't expect to see those kind of things in the south.

You do know there's a difference between hipsters and hipster wannabes right?? And just because someone wears a lot of plaid, glasses they don't need, has a fondness of coffee shops, and doesn't like most mainstream music or trends doesn't make them wannabe hipsters. I wear hipster/indie looking clothes, listen to mostlty alternative music, and not into a lot of "mainstream" things, drink too much black coffee, but I'm not trying to be a hipster, those are just the things I happen to like. And if it's now mainstream I'm fine with that. Not everyone that's into those kind of things are anti-mainstream, it's what we like! It's just annoying to feel somewhat embarrassed to go out wearing hipster or indie looking clothing because of people thinking your a poser. Ughhhh.

This makes him even more of a hipster, but the way he dressed back when the Strokes broke through is what influenced the new wave of "Post-punk/indie rock" (though, "post rock" is a term that doesn't really make sense, because if you're currently playing rock then it isn't "post".) bands such as Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, etc. that spawned this new generation of hipster. Julian Casablancas is a humble person, and he is pretty genuine too.

I moved to Austin, Tx from my small hometown of Helotes, Tx a little over too years ago. I had a sort of divine comedy/self realization moment in one morning when I realized I was wearing a red plaid shirt, drinking french press coffee, and studying 19th century fonts as I was killing time before I went to my job as a delivery cyclist. The best part was I didn't even care.

Finally DNews answered their title question!!!

Hippsters are so envious and vain. They are all the time concerned with what everyone is going to think about them but all they do is just look... hipster, wich is basically mainstream. In short, they are nothing but posers. I do a lot of things that many hipsters state they do or things that they are so proud about but I dont think I have to change my appearance and show off, like "hey look at me, look how I think dif, someone gimme a Nobel". I have my own urban minifarm, I brew my beer, I have a car but I ride a bike (not a stupid fixie, a regular branded MTB) and I listen to some "weird music" but I dont grow a stupid beard, all my T-shirts are regular branded, my hair is as everyone else's and I wear as ordinary as possible, I'm never in need of attention and looks. Also, I like simple girls, no tattoos, no stupid pinup clothes or hair or glasses, no piercing, no posing and etc. I'm selfconfident enough to not need to trick myself telling "you're special, you think dif", which they need to do to themselves. Hipsters are the most mediocre kind people you're gonna see around. Do not try to look or think you're special, DO something special.

My favorite hipster spotting story - I couldn't find my glasses one day, so I had my BCGs from basic training (look 'em up, they're hilarious). I met with a couple of friends who I always suspected, and they immediately told me they liked the glasses and wanted a pair for themselves. At that moment I knew... hipsters.

most youtubers are hipsters, this guy is definatly a hipster with that ironic shirt going on, i bet his studio is down the road from a coffee club that he feels like a king at.

Fuck Hipsters.

I dress hipster-y. I have tattoos. I like beanies. I wear skinny jeans. I'm a musician. SUE ME.

The speaker has the hipster beard. Cue bass solo.

It's like asking why all old people dress same

If I saw you (guy in this video) walking down the street, staring at your phone (oblivious to the rest of the world) I'd think you were a hipster. I'd be at least 90% sure of that.

Everyone tries so hard to be original that they all end up looking/being the same. Been saying this forever now

I'm parcel hipster, I do it because I like how it looks and because it's easy to dress that way, I don't do it to be cool , trust me hipsters don't do it because they want to be cool. It's part of expressing ones self.

There's this store in my town called People's Food Co-op, and it's an organic, all-natural, grocery store and restaurant. Originally, I didn't think much of it, but when I finally walked in and say they had weird stuff like, chakra balancing kits and took a look around, I realized how much of a hipster store it was.

Market research has gotten so efficient that a subculture hardly even exists before it is ruined by aggressive marketing. Subcultures used to last a lot longer before becoming over-saturated, now it is so much easier to collect information on trends and then sell it back to us

"People are going to judge you anyway, so forget everyone and just be yourself"

Is interesting how people are just looking for ways to say "You don't get me, I'm way off your comprehension " or "I'm not like others, my life is too complicated" or "I'm original". I know that we want to let know others that we are not all the same, but we really have a lot in common. So trying to say that no one is like you is just a waste of time, enjoy yourself in what ever sort of things you are into. I view hipsters as people that like a lot that fashion industry but don't want to "obey" the "rules". The problem here is that society always wants to put a label on it, so that's why you can see that they like to go towards the current even tho denying that mainstream doesn't take part on they're life. But indirectly being the main cause for them to be who they really are. People that just want to be different from the "conformist" and are open minded but support the "left" side because the "right" side is just too saturated "Mainstream".

"I want to be different like all the other different people." is the hipster motto.

Striving to be a hipster, while born of an effort to be different, just causes the wanna be hipster to conform to another set of fashions, tastes, and interests that are outside of the mainstream. This causes them to congregate around others who share this need to be different, which will invariably lead to others within the same subculture mimicking each other. Thus you start to see similarities in appearance, tastes, and intellectual interest. The movement that started out as a rebellion against conformity, becomes conformist.

I always wear a black t shirt. During winter i like wearing a scarf inside, but only because its nice and soft.

Trace always has the best t-shirts haha

my friend when me and him were 12 was the first person to wear deep v neck tshirts, that was in 2005

Ok so just to be clear if you have a style, idea, belief, opinion or hobby that someone else decided to capitalize on, and you dont immediately change that characteristic about yourself your automatically being trendy or "a hipster" ? Also, how does what someone wears define who they are as human beings, idk, maybe i just dont live in a big enough city, but it just seems really trivial to me..

Can someone tell me what is hipster???

I never really thought of my self as a hipster, I just kinda thought me was me but my one friend said that this girl on her bus said I was the O.G. Hipster (Original Hipster) which made me confused but also really happy and I wanna meet this girl cause I honestly had no clue she existed and for that matter even recognized my existence. I guess cause I do stereotypical things that are related to hipsters like I wear big sweaters because i'm don't have that great of a body, i'm not super over weight but sweaters hide that all. I have the big glasses cause i've needed glasses all my life, not my fault I cant see shit and I think I look bad without glasses and contacts hurt. I listen to a lot of indie music cause well I enjoy but then again i'm also a big kpop fan which contradicts the hipstery-ness. Im also an artist and plan to go to an art school but not all hipsters are artist sooo I don't know. I also don't go to Starbucks all the time generally cause I don't like coffee.

So what do you call the truly different people in society who actually dress and act independently of everyone else?

For my 13th birthday I went rollerblading with my friends and I saw the most hipster couple on earth. He had slicked hair, a big waxed moustache, suspenders and just overall the same wardrobe as my great grampa. And she had circle John Lennon like glasses, long hair tied up with a bow and was wearing a dress that made her look like she should be in the sound of music. Not to mention that their rollerblades were probably the initial prototypes for the shoe. I will never forget the day I first saw full-out hipsters, for it will be scorched in my mind forever.

Like I've never tried to be someone different than who I was, I literally just do things that I like, but many of those things are "hipster". I like hipster fashion but I like every type of fashion, I end up not having a fashion sense bc I can't choose between all the styles, which makes me look "hipster" I guess. Literally poetry and literature is my passion. It's not a "stupid trend" or a way to "look intelligent" people have loved it pretty much forever and it will never go away. I like coffee shops and Starbucks and shit, but who doesn't? I grow tired of songs after I hear them a few times and they play the same songs on the radio over and over so I listen to a broader and broader genre of music. I am vegan because I couldn't mentally handle not being a vegan. It's not because I "look cool" if anything I get shit for it. I don't care if my coffee is black or not as long as it has sugar. I try to use more reusable shit, I'd get an electric car if I could, because I don't want to kill the environment. I am a loner, but it's not to look cool or mysterious it's because I'm too scared to make friends. I talk/write strange often. I don't do it on purpose tho that's just how my words come out sometimes. I enjoy talking about "deep" shit or philosophy. I've enjoyed making my brain hurt since I was little. I don't really push it on others tho bc I know it comes off as pretentious. I love flannels and combat boots bc they're cute? Am I hipster? If so why would you hate me for it?

I'm steampunk... but I do occasionally go a little hipster when I'm going casual. My steampunk clothes usually involve a waistcoat and my hand made jewellery (made out of old clocks and watches). It is hard to be casual steampunk as it gets less obviously steampunk but I enjoy the challenge!

I got into a friendly "discussion" with a Hipster about Hipsters and I claimed that they were unoriginal pretentious conformist. He denied it so I pulled up some pictures of Beatniks from the 1950's - 60's..... and the Beatniks were identical to Hipsters from the glasses, to the facial hair, and right down to the skinny jeans. Needless to say that that was the end of the "discussion".

whats pvr?
