There's a lot of different types of hipsters. You've got the corny indies, the aging ones (see: "Losing My Edge"), the "I only listen to German minimalist techno and wear black" pretentious types, those who aspire to have their pictures on Last Night's Party/Cobrasnake/Misshapes' photo gallery by dressing like a fucktard, the underground rap listening/ironic party throwing ones who buy all their stuff from Nom De Guerre, etc. There's a lot of overlap and permutations of all the types. The only thing they have in common is being annoying and cocaine which makes them more annoying.

Please, edumacate us

The most prominent tip off is that your thoughts will all begin with "what the the fuck?" Examples:
"What the fuck, that guy is wearing an unbuttoned woman's blouse?"
"What the fuck, that guy is not making eye contact with anyone?"
"What the fuck, that guy hasn't washed his hair in 8 days?"
"What the fuck, that guy is paying $3000 a month to live in a squat?"
and finally
"What the fuck, what am I doing here?"

Also, they say they are from where ever they lived last, usually Portland or San Fransisco. They forget to mention that they are actually from Erie PA. Although sometimes they have an unnecessasry amount of pride in their hometown if it's a really down and out place. Because don't forget they grew up poor!

hah! I did tell you guys about the totally unfortunate hipster I saw in Soda several months ago, right? he was wearing, I kid you not, a stained, dirty white linen suit with flip flops. a foppy hat. his hair situation was totally unfortunate: a hipster beard and long, stringy, greasy hair. and he had some fugly, ripped t-shirt under the fucked up suit. and he was like walking around looking at everyone in that baffled, did my cab get lost on the way to bedford sort of way.

ah yes, but this gives a pass-nay-a boon, to that rare breed (in nyc) of hipster: the mod hipster.

we must be fair and strike both mod and rocker hipsters down with equal impunity.

Ooh...I've got one of those at my job. A mod hipster Republican! Where's a stray lightning bolt when you need one?

True, but you've got to respect the mod hipster a little more. It definitely takes more effort to have that kind of panache.

well yeah, obviously, because if i were to become a hipster, i would totally be a mod hipster. the clothes are far better, and i wouldn't have to relinquish my bourgeois hygiene habits. the basic nature and rules of the wardrobe means less continued investment as trends ebb and flow. also, if you decide to smack yourself silly with a good dose of reality, instead of amphetamines, you can just stop ratting and laquering your hair, go a bit easier on the eyeliner, et voila, a look worthy of normal human interaction. sort of like bizzaro day to night barbie.

I take back all accusations of hipsterness and I apologize with utmost sincerity... :shock:

Vindication is mine! For those still confused: These are hipsters. This is me. Me no hipster.

and that's my boob. poor boob.

candicissima, I don't think those are hipsters - those are tranny-leaning club bois. it is my experience that queer hipsters and straight hipsters frequently don't mix.

I don't think that guy qualifies as a hipster. He seems to be wearing that outfit in an entirely unironic way (as evidenced by the wood paneling behind him). He kind of seems more like just a douchebag.

[quote=bluedove]Too true. This is closer:



Ok, so NOW, here we have Jesus to the right. Does that imply that this hipster / douchebag / wankster (to the left) is wearing "Jesus Pants" (I tried to get to Soda on Wednesday to scope out the pants, but was unable to ... so the question is still roiling within my brain) ... :?
