I like buying shoes that I never see anyone in my local area wearing.
I used to collect vinyl.
When I drank alcohol I was about “interesting” or dark beers.
For years in my 20s I drank my coffee black.
What’s some bullshit hipster tendencies you have?
-
I don't even know what hipster means really. I buy tonnes of vinyl, because I like having music in it's most tangible format and I dj. Didn't know that was a 'hipster' tendency. What about buying digital?
You all confuse me.
People seem to throw the word at everything now. Explain please.

I probably didn’t listen to a single record all the way through more than once out of the 50 or so records I had.
They all sit in storage now. I really liked seeing large album art.
Just thought of another one, I used to go to bookstores for fun.
I once was in a skateshop and thought about buying a Quasi board.
I do kind of like quasi too.

first rule of being a hipster...

The only thing that is a hipster tendency is giving a shit about what hipsters think.
Otherwise they are just your own preferences.

I STARTED SKATING BEFORE IT WAS COOL

There's hipster and then there's buttsters - the butt follows the hips.

Speaking of butts and hips I got yet another one ... as of about two years ago, I wear real belts instead of shoe lace belts.

In that case, mine would be pride in obscure knowledge about lesser known old skate videos--very much the same way people brag about obscure music knowledge (of which I also have plenty).
Something like "The first Hall and Oates song used on a skate video was 'I Can't Go For That' in the Huy Lee section of Clout Skateboards's 1994 video All Soul, No Payroll."

Does still buying VHS and tapes count?

Kombucha and thrasher T's...

Drinking exotic specialty beers and craft beer.
I am pretty picky about the coffee I buy. I grind it myself before I brew it in my Italian semi-automatic espresso machine.
I like to play records on a nice vintage record player (my girlfriend's). If I had money I think I'd buy records too.
I despise hipsters.
being from a middle class background and having nice things, but being constantly broke, because I don't want to work much.
My girlfriend is a designer, vegan and likes to think she's a feminist. We sometimes enjoy artsy films together.
Occasionally I go to openings of art shows with artist friends. At these events I pretend I don't care, but really I am pretty initimidated by the weird social atmosphere there.

I despise hipsters.
This is the first step to becoming a hipster.

We are all hipsters, live with it.

I'm afraid that answer is not unacceptable. Pedantic esotericism is only a hipster trait if the class of information concerned isn't actually esoteric, but rather the variant manifestation of an accepted mainstream preoccupation such as popular music. Skateboard knowledge of the type you are describing has absolutely no value as social currency except to others such as yourself, and as such it falls under nerdery rather than hipsterism.
Now I must watch Balance in a World of Chaos, thank you very much.

-
Damn. I thought I'd told the hipsters.
I just watched Balance a week or two ago and was impressed by two things:
1. The quality of the skating (some damn good stuff in there).
2. The fact that in that time period, you could just be a guy with a video camera (and a few connections) and film people and put out a video. I don't think Danny Minnick got sued by any companies for poaching footage (i.e. Tom Penny or Pat Duffy stuff). Though he does get yelled at in the credits.

I buy Nescafé instant coffee and prefer it over anything else. My laptop is a hand-me-down Dell from a friend’s brother who works in IT. All of my music is digital, and I listen to it on my iPod that was picked from an electronic recycle dump. Am I a hipster?

Nah, sounds too financially responsible to be a hipster.

I hate many bands mainly due to their fan base without even giving their music an honest listen.

That's not a hipster characteristic (if so, then generations of working stiffs from all cultures are just being pretentious).
Oatmilk in your coffee—now that's some hipster shit.

I agree. I like my coffee black and will try most dark beers, but that's just the kind of beer I like.

i like a small beanie, i own a fixed gear, i own a beard comb and scissors
These things start to add up once you start looking, damn...

I drink cold brew
I collect watches
I have a beard
I get stoked on Japanese denim
I eat vegan food
I have tattoos (none that really show outside of my clothes so I guess not too hipster)
I have a vinyl collection (albeit I haven't added anything to it in years)
I like craft beer but hate most IPA so that kinda balance me out right? RIGHT?

He's right, though. "Hipsters" today are 28 year old marketing interns that just got a place in nyc's chinatown trying to find the funniest tiktok accounts. Red wings, fixies, vinyl, deadstock sneakers, raw demin, american spirits, blablabla - has just defused into normal culture
-
I think the first hipster band I remember was The Stokes. All the members of group met at some elite prep school in NYC. Looking at them at the time you would think think they grew up in some lower middle class neighborhood in Queens like the Ramones. I think pretending to be gutter is the essence of hipsterism and why no one will cop to being a hipster because it’s a put on.
-
If buying vinyl still counts I love it. Riding track bikes. Basically being a general asshole.

You nailed it with this , I was thinking of the Strokes earlier when this topic started & used to despise them .

Yeah, most hippsters are older now. They were mostly white middle class young people trying to be cool and have a good time in their twenties. Now they are middle class thirty somethings, having or wanting families and holding well paying jobs. They still try to be cool and consume cool things, but they have way more money now. Also instead of advocating for drug use and going to dangerous places, they advocate for safe and moderate weed and cbd use and demand safe spaces for all the diversities.
Or to show it by the change their bible vice magazine went through:
From documenting underaged boys fucking donkey's in third world countries, to advising to skip stand up specials because of insensitive content.
-
I still do this to this day, I see and hangout with friends and many bands that are pretty well known but that's cause I like being a wallflower instead of being center of attention. (also I like my friends bands)
If anything I consider being a hipster is going to a party just to make fun of the lot of them and to get the boot. Can't have a good story for the water cooler if you aren't being asked to leave or starting a hilarious argument over seamlessly nothing.
edit was at a PC hippie house to score some weed and we got on a subject about Dollywood and Dolly Parton, I chime in half shitfaced well it sure wasn't her talent that keeps her still relevant! to which the people were like oh she's had a long career, I gave the Spock raised eyebrow of yeah okay hold my hands out as to signify her enormous fake tits. Whole house gets awkwardly quiet, like wtf?!
-
the ultimate hipster tendency is to be as contrarian as possible about what you're into and trying to out-hipster even hipsters. if hipsters are all into analog stuff like vinyl and VHS you have to start preaching about how superior digital is. if they're all drinking french press, drink folgers drip. and then when the trends change, go back to analog and french press or something totally kooky like 8-tracks and khazakhstanian coffee.

I tend to change out of dr martens to skate then back into them after I’m done
I have a VHS horror collection
I like German psychedelic rock

I enjoy pissing off rich people.
I'm heavily tattoo'd
I like to frequent places rich people go country clubs, restaurants, bars/breweries, that wing of the mall with the expensive shit.
I just like to see their reactions while were doing the same shit, they look at me like I don't deserve to be there and I very much enjoy it. You can tell I'm harshing them out and for that I spend extra money on shit.
Not sure if that makes me a hipster of just an asshole.

I do this with my wife here and there and we buy little nic nacs just for vibing out rich assholes, I certainly won't buy something expensive if I feel the staff is snooty and kissing the other rich fuckers asses.
It is funny as we are two opposites in dress and aesthetically speaking. my wife is a wild looking Chola from east LA Puerto Rican and I look and dress like a UK84 Skinhead with Ben Sherman jumper and boots. We get questioned a lot but we cool guy most onlookers. Really upsets rich people especially if the wife bring in her small dog.
Pure comedic gold.

This......
I like TUK or Grinders boots, I was in San Luis Obispo and I snuck out of a cop car managed to crawl in the sewers near the center of town with what were white TUK boots with steel toes by the end of the sewer crawl handcuffed forwards my knees and knuckles and boots were all worn down quite a bit, the boots took it the worst they were brand new and by the time I crawled to my homies house to get the cuffs cut off they were down to the steel cap.

I still use the wired apple headphones. Fuck those bitch pods

i love tattoos, STILL collect records and am into going to breweries.

After reading a bunch of stuff about micro plastics and getting a dog that I hike and always seeing plastic garbage in the hills, river, etc. I’ve become borderline obsessive about using as little of it as possible and sometimes find myself glaring at people drinking bottled water, etc.

Yeah, I am sure. I could probably smell pretty great wearing cologne from hollister or some mall store. But I'd rather spend more money in the Tom Ford store and upset people along the way. I certainly don't spend it just to spend it. I buy shit that I like and want.
I have also caught on to these rich fuckers in this process. Rich people are shameless about asking for free shit and discounts. I was paying for my shit at the Ralph Lauren store, paying full price mind you, and some rich dude was trying to argue the price of a $400 jacket down $20 while wearing a rolex and gucci loafers.
I couldn't help myself I said "if you can't afford it just put it back, no big deal" he fired back with a "I can afford whatever the fuck I want" Then i hit him with a "whatever you say peasant" under my breath. It got pretty heated and went on cataloging how much his outfit was. I took my bag and walked out.

I mean, the details are different, but that essentially describes various components of my life and I don't think of myself as being particularly idiosyncratic.

I have a homie who gets free stance socks and had a big stash of Huf weed socks.
I do some yard work and other dad like errands around town to kick it with him. Instead of paying me he hooks me up with free socks and skate products.
I don’t mind it so much as it gives me a chance to skate a private ramp and free socks.
I like to mix and match my socks as one does want a hint of color.

I built a coffee shop in my house and named it after one of our pet chickens. I mostly drink locally roasted, pour over coffee only through kemex paper filters. I have a lot of craft beers I keep stocked, I can bore most folks when talking about wine and have a pretty extensive anjeo tequila collection. I do a lot of JavaScript programming and have some involvement in start up community in austin.
But... I wear dad hats and fishing shirts and drive a big truck and I’m not being ironic about it. I smoke cigars, don’t smoke weed. And most importantly I’m stoked on the new tool cd.

Being a hipster would be basically doing/enjoying shit no one else likes, and thinking you're better and superior over the general basic bitch population.
Also they annoy me.

Fuente short story is my go too but I got turned on to aladino at a cigar bar in ybor in Tampa and wow. A little richer in a good way and packs a crazy good buzz. If you order a box online, highly recommend at same price point as fuente
-
I like IPA’s, and when I eat out I’ll ask the waitress if they have any IPA’s on draft. I’m not picky though. I’ll probably stop her at the first or second IPA.
I’d be down to raise a French Bulldog.
I have a bunch of mason jars in my cupboard, and I prefer drinking out of them to normal glasses.
I’ve been on my fucking phone constantly. Gotta quit that shit.
I don’t care for the NBA.
A lot of things make me ineligible to be a hipster though. I don’t dress trendy at all or with any slim clothes. I watch and play sports. I’ll eat a fucking fast food burger in a pinch. My music knowledge could be better. I don’t go to shows. I own a rifle. I made use of a degree in an actual subject.

Listen exclusively to psychy garage rock and comedy podcasts.
Like to match my hat with my socks, and also to spots I skate.
Spend way too much time looking for vintage clothing on Depop, eBay, Etsy, thrift stores etc.

I have a beard
I have expensive design furniture that I really like
I am environmentally conscious
I mix fancy and relatively expensive clothes and other stuff with cheap ass shit from army surplus shops and such
I’m an anti-consumerist consumer
My political views are very left and green
I’m drinking tap water from reusable metal bottles instead of coffee, tea or soft drinks
I like to write and draw on my Moleskine and paint for my own amusement even though I’m no good in any of them
I will not have any kids
I have a masters degree from a university and am a professional with a relatively high paying job
I’m an individualistic person who does not fit in any of his social circles because I’m so fucking individual
I really like Fjällräven
I really like hiking
I’ve been wishing I had glasses for like 15 years
I don’t watch TV, have Netflix or any of that shit
I don’t follow any sports except football European championships and world championships. So once every two years I’m kinda into it for a few weeks.
I sleep on a futon
I have a deep contempt towards popular culture
I hate everything “basic”
I bring my own lunches to work because the restaurant we have has shit vegetarian options and is generally too basic and boring
I don’t shave my nuts
I’m European
I speak a language that’s pretty much completely unrelated to and different than almost all other languages
So yeah, you could say that I’m pretty fucking hip and cool 😎 but like whatever man…

I read Infinite Jest three years ago and it “totally changed my life.”
I curb any conversation I have at a party around to books so I can mention how I read Infinite Jest and it “totally changed my life.”
I have a reproduction of Picasso’s Girl Before a Mirror on my wall, and nothing pleases me more than when a guest comments on it and I get an opportunity to sigh and explain why Miró was the aesthetically superior Spaniard.
I make any girl I’m interested in watch Slacker so that we can complain about American hegemony together.
I used to drink IPA beer, but so many people drink it now I’d rather just drink National Bohemian.
I started smoking cigarettes in my early twenty’s, but instead of smoking American Spirits, as you’d expect, I decided on Marlboro Reds, figuring they were the less contrived choice.
I’ll always be adamant OK Computer is sonically the richest Radiohead album, but secretly I much prefer The Bends.
Generally speaking, I consider myself to be the smartest person in the room, despite the fact I went to a mid-level state school. (But ask anyone—I just wasn’t challenged enough, or else I would’ve been a shoo-in for summa cum laude.)
I tend to still use irony and cynicism to disguise my insecurities and anxieties, even though I understand how it’s totally passé to do so in 2019.

Taking infants and toddlers into breweries seems pretty hip these days. The "craft" brewery next door to me even offers stroller parking. Chubby, bearded new-dads in skinny jeans can get drunk on 18% DIPAs while his toddler runs around bothering people and his infant screaming like it was trapped in a brewery. Meanwhile, his wife is at the Mexican place next door, pounding tequila and flirting with minority busboys. It's okay for him to drive home though, since he only had three beers. This same guy would get pissed at someone for smoking weed in a park within 50 yards of his shitty offspring.

I carried one for like a year when I was 19 and I’d right these truly awful song lyrics while I was at work.

I use a sp404 and turntable to make shitty hip-hop beats, the ultimate hipster setup.
I still wear Carhartt double fronts despite not having a manual labor job for a couple of years, what can I say they are the best pants.
Edit: I’ve been rocking a mullet that’s the worst fuckin’ one.

-I own a VCR and use it sometimes

What’s some bullshit hipster tendencies you have?
I also have no idea what really defines a hipster and may or may not be friends with them but…
I drink good coffee black and heady IPAs because they taste good, not trying to impress anyone. Being proud of drinking cheap watery beer is more hipster at this point I think.
If you’re a bit of sneakerhead who is not rich, like me, what you’re describing is the only way to be. Keeping up with the hottest Js etc is dumb and unaffordable. I buy the different and just slept on shit and see more sneakerheads checking them out.
I’m pretty sure I’m not a hipster, but then again a couple weeks ago a girl from Philly asked what I did and I told her I work for a coffee roaster in Brooklyn and she laughed and said it was the most hipster so there’s that

I drink good coffee black and heady IPAs because they taste good, not trying to impress anyone. Being proud of drinking cheap watery beer is more hipster at this point I think.
If you’re a bit of sneakerhead who is not rich like me, what you’re describing is the only way to be. Keeping up with the hottest Js etc is dumb and unaffordable. I buy the different and just slept on shit and see more sneakerheads checking them out.
I’m pretty sure I’m not a hipster, but then again a couple weeks ago a girl from Philly asked what I did and I told her I work for a coffee roaster in Brooklyn and she laughed and said it was the most hipster so there’s that
Sounds like something a hipster would say.
As far as the sneaker shit. I buy all the slept on shit that's on the sale rack. Sneaker people always asking me about my shoes. "they were on the sale rack of the DTLR?"

There's a scene in the movie "Zero Charisma" where a nerd barges a hipster party. He looks around and there are white guys with little beards everywhere. There's a close-up on a cello-wrapped shoulder with a fresh tatoo of a Penny-farthing, then a quick cut to a guy sitting on a couch strumming a ukulele. Those pictures are worth a thousand words imo.

Carry a Moleskine, have a mustache and ride a skateboard.
Like expensive coffee.
Listen exclusively to psychy garage rock and comedy podcasts.
Like to match my hat with my socks, and also to spots I skate.
Spend way too much time looking for vintage clothing on Depop, eBay, Etsy, thrift stores etc.
Oh yeah, and since I moved to LA, I rock a man bun now. I even hate who I’ve become.
Fuuuck that’s awesome.
Cool people acting cool is fine by me. They don’t strike me as the mass shooter type, so that’s aight in my books.
I’ve got a stache now but mostly because I got scaled alopecia on my face now and a beard looks haggard in result.
My user name probably used to qualify but I don’t drink anymore so it’s more on the poser end of the spectrum.
I hang out and drink kombucha at pie bars while working on field guide quarterlies so that puts me in the Douche box.
Mostly, like everyone else in this thread, I masturbate in front of the mirror.

It’s a fair point, Millenial is the baby boomer’s word for hipster.

I have a chrome messenger bag that was a gift from my friend who worked on that movie Smokin Aces, and I have a sought after pursuit frame bike I paid a handsome some sum for.

Carry a Moleskine
didn't realize this was one guilty
so i just had a really stressful week because i was starting to get stomach aches from my pour over coffees and i ended up switching to french press for my morning coffee(s). still going with cappuccino after lunch. apparently the chemex filters pull out all the oil and leave too much acid for my stomach. taste so good though.

I definitely qualify as a hipster and about 5 years ago I just sorta turned it in to a joke. It’s kinda funny when your with a group of people (especially gay men 35+) who start calling people they dont like hipsters and then you refer to yourself as a hipster. They’re generally like “No! Your not a hipster! Why would you say that?”.
It’s hard to describe but it somehow helped me get over the last bit of self hatred/internalized homophobia that I had. I always joked and told people that Hipster was just the new Faggot because it was a catch all term you could call someone from your car or under your breath whose appearance you didnt like.
Edit: FROTHY: Corgis are 1000x more hipster then french bulldogs

I buy Nescafé instant coffee and prefer it over anything else. My laptop is a hand-me-down Dell from a friend’s brother who works in IT. All of my music is digital, and I listen to it on my iPod that was picked from an electronic recycle dump. Am I a hipster?
I refer to this as a pre-apocalyptic lifestyle. It's a weird place to be.

The definition of hipster seems to change every year or so. Right now, I think being hipster is to be fully mainstream. Like listening to Taylor Swift un-ironically. Pitchfork.com is a good barometer of this. They used to focus only on indie and underground music, now their focus is on mostly mainstream acts while still maintaining that pretentious vibe.

I remember Pitchfork before it was cool. Or was it cool back then and it's not cool now?
It probably is more hipster to be mainstream since the mainstream wants to be indie, right?
Fuck, that's what I'm saying, I can't keep this hipster shit straight anymore.

I think the first hipster band I remember was The Stokes. All the members of group met at some elite prep school in NYC. Looking at them at the time you would think think they grew up in some lower middle class neighborhood in Queens like the Ramones. I think pretending to be gutter is the essence of hipsterism and why no one will cop to being a hipster because it’s a put on.
"Looking at them you would think they grew up in some lower middle income class neibourhood like the Ramones" -wtf?

A lot of the things mentioned in here might have been «hipster» in 2010 or whatever but are pretty basic stuff these days. IPAs? Boo, at least give me a nice lambic or some barley wine. The hipster concept is sort of nonsense by now but I wanna play the game too so here are some things that I do that might be seen as hipsterisms depending on who you ask:
- I own both an aeropress and a pour-over coffee maker
- I buy and listen to vinyl records. (But I’ll have to stress that I’m NOT a record collector)
- I also buy and listen to cassette tapes. (Mainly because they’re often the cheapest form of physical item to buy to support a band, and for extreme metal, noise or punk stuff I don’t mind the hissier)
- When I perform my music live my setup includes a Gameboy and a banjolele among other things.
- I’ve started my own tiny cassette «label». First release was an EP of my own stuff, working on a compilation as a second release now. Five of the tracks will be different projects/bands that I’m in myself (me, me, me). Relatively hipsterish genre span, from pretty cutesy singer/songwriter stuff, through spoken word/poetry, krauty discoish electronics, post rock to harsh noise.
- I just brewed my first batch of mead. (But I’m Norwegian, interested in the history of daily life/material culture and studied some Norse culture at university so trying a bit of meadmaking should follow naturally)
- I never heard of kombucha being viewed as a hipster thing but hey I love the stuff.
- I have a terrible unfinished tattoo that I’ve been too broke to do anything about for ages.
- Back when I had a last.fm I ran my play counts through this thing that said my taste was «more obscure» than like 85% of users or whatever. (Triple whammy there: having a last.fm, caring enough to go check how I compared to other users, and listening to enough hipster garbage that I got that score)

Yo word up. That’s what I’m saying, isn’t all this shit just the new mainstream?
If I think hipster, it’s 2010, people rock American apparel, skinny jeans, beards, and wayfarer glasses. Vinyl is coming back and everyone is listening to MGMT.
But this also just describes some jock down at the boardwalk in 2019. So like, what’s hipster now? Dressing like it’s the early 2000s?

Oof.
Tote bag all day everyday.
Multiple Moleskins (Only in red though).
Personally modified Polaroid cameras.
Only listen to Turkish/Iranian psych on vinyl.
Collection of 8 track and cassette tapes.
I drink cambric tea with almond milk because black coffee is for yuppies with tattoos.
Homebrew Kombucha. Keep it local, bra!
Unskilled job unrelated to degree.
Criterion Collection only.
Shitty poetry.
Jumpsuit + dad hat.
Road bike.

Hipsters died in 2015 according to the former hipster bible

in my eyes, the value the term "hipster" has, is as a very real socioeconomic designation, and in this regard, i think it's important to take it seriously, because the increasing presence of "hipsters" in any "up and coming" neighborhood means that the poor and working people who grew up in these places are going to be increasingly coerced and forced out. being "underemployed" means nothing when a "hipster's" presence in a gentrifying neighborhood is augmented by some wealthy or middle class parents off in some suburb or exurb.
the term seems pretty used up at this point in regards to someone who is preoccupied with the consumption of fleetingly "hip" cultural ephemera...

yeah, you're wrong here--these are two different waves of the same process. "hipsters" are edgy and so they get to play "urban pioneer," which starts the process of dispossession and displacement which results in a neighborhood being labeled "up and coming." then, once neighborhoods and districts have been "colonized," the yuppies come in and price even the hipsters out...and yes, the hipster then complain and play-act at being victims of some kind until it's time for them to fall back into the giddy comfort and security of their parents' money...
...i have lived in Detroit for over 30 years, and i am watching all of this unfold first-hand in the 7.2 square miles of this 139-square-mile city that has been sealed off from the rest of the city to become the urban theme park that is "New Detroit."

This is pretty dead on. I used to refer to those people, myself included, as Shake and Bake Colonists. The first apartment I lived in is four doors down from where my friend and his wife now own a condo, right across from the corner where you used to be able to buy (probably wet) dime bags. "Urban Development" is fucking weird and gross. But hey while we're here, don't forget to include the Mikey Taylor's of this world who are really behind all this fuckery. Lot of hipsters are just relocated poor kids in my experience. That's what makes the rich slummers so insufferable.

Agree with the fact that if you want a tattoo you should get it.
I think the tattoos that people get as adults generally have a lot more meaning than the ones they get when they are 18-25 or so. Have you seen an 18 year old with a bunch of tattoos? Most of them are extremely fucking stupid.

i took it as the opposite. it was from the jonah hill thread where there was the photo of him with a jersey and two freshly tatted sleeves. like only a dork decides that they want to go all out into tattoos in their 30s.
i just thought it was funny enough that i remembered it. i dont care what people do or how old they are when they do it. i really like tattoos, but i dont think i like them enough to commit to one. im 31 now and what ive liked has changed so much since i was a teenager. and not that i think that what i was into in my younger years defines who i am for the rest of my life, but i dont know if id be stoked right now on the tattoos 18, 22 or even 25 year old me wouldve gotten.
im also a cheap ass and could never see myself affording a body full of tattoos. if i had money id rather be that poser dork who buys a motorcycle on the quest to be cool.

Yo are SFB quotes like the sacred scrolls now and open to each posters interpretation? Asking for myself.

I sit outside local cafes of newly gentrified neighborhoods of Philadelphia, smoking cigarettes and drinking nitro cold brew (splash of organic almond milk) whilst discussing literature i haven't read to anyone who will listen. I try to make as little eye contact as possible while being the loudest within any given vicinity. I only date girls with bangs. At the skatepark I discuss the impact morrissey and his music have on cultural appropriation and why Alex G hasnt been featured in any major skate vids

Haha okay the source of the quote leads me to believe you’re probably right. But I’m 34 and have seen so many people like stop trying to be individuals and just making the choice to blend in with the herd over the last few years that’s how I interpreted this particular verse haha. And in full disclosure I got my first and only tastefully scaled tattoo a couple years ago and maintain that it’s better than 99% of the stuff my friends got in their teens/early twenties.

Is Philly still gentrifying? I lived in Brewerytown 5 years ago when it was pretty hood. Went back there Sunday and it looked pretty much the same except Crime and Punishment was finally open. And they built like 10 of those shitty condo/row homes with the rectangle kick out on the front.

Yeah, I see that too with people around my age and I'm sure I do a bit of it myself. From my perspective, my individualistic attempts in the past were mostly superficial, and I've hit the point in my life where I'm not really concerned with what "cool" is or how different I can appear from whatever I deem as lame. I don't need an image that shouts "Look at me! I'm different!" I also don't socialize nearly as much as I did in my teens and 20s, so figuring out what's "in" and what everyone else likes and how to incorporate that stuff into my life isn't important at all.
You get past a certain age and it's very easy to see what a genuine expression of someones lifestyle is and how different it is from someone elses fake attempt at projecting a lifestyle they wish they had. My lifestyle isn't that cool or interesting and I'm ok with that.

Getting tats is like doing drugs: if you didn't start at 15, don't bother.

I guess I don’t look at it so much as people no longer mindlessly following trends, as much as them beginning to mindlessly conform to tradition/societal expectations, which isn’t a whole lot different than a teenager mindlessly following trends. Although Jonah Hill obviously comes across as a trendy dork not some self-actualized individual, I am a big believer in kind of Maslow’s idea of self-actualization or the Jungian idea of individualization.

Waiting until after your brain fully develops (around age 25) is the best time to start doing drugs, and waiting until you have a secure career and enough money to spend on quality ink is the best time to get tattoos. Unless you want to end up intellectually stunted and covered in shitty kitchen sink bro tats, that is.

I think another reason I didn’t get tattoos is because a friend of mine got born to kill tatted in his ass. It was some gangster dude that took xboxes and shit in exchange for tattoos. I said it and my friend did it. He didn’t even know it was full metal jacket lol. He got a few tattoos from that dude. And he regrets him. He’s the man though, and a legend for doing it. Guy is fearless. But I watched it all go down and I Know we were underage. Dodged a bullet by not getting the foundation tattoos lol. But my whole immediate family has tattoos except my sister who isn’t old enough. Mom dad and siblings all have multiple. My mom started it.

But, indeed! However, if you wait untill 25 to do dope, you'll end up like Joe Rogan. Listen to him talking about weed and DMT. Either way, you lose.

I started getting tattooed the day I turned 18. I don't have any band logos, skate logos/references, cultural/social references tattooed on me. Only about 5 of the tattoos I've gotten have some personal meaning, all the rest are pieces of flash thrown together or an original piece from an artist. I often don't think about being heavily tattooed until I am in certain public settings or at my kids schools and get heavy stares.

I refuse to listen to certain music for petty reasons.
I.e. I refuse to listen to Hobo Johnson (think that’s the name of the dude who’s blowing up lately) because I love Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains and I’m aware of how stupid that is but the coincidental names rub me the wrong way.

If you decide to get tatted up in your 30s and/or keep living a 20-something hip/alternative lifestyle well into your 30s you're a poser dork; if you decide to become normal and go a more traditional 30-something lifestyle route then you're just a sheep blending in with the herd.....

i'm guessing it's more just that pulling off a look is harder as you get older. any fool in their 20s can pull off a look but i think when you get older you end up having to have your look align more with a lifestyle that makes sense. if you own an art gallery you'll get away with a lot more than if you are a book keeper.

I wear hella flannel when it gets chilly and I skate in the same pair of non-skate sneakers that I wear to work or when I'm out being a scumbag downtown at night.

The largest demographic group at my office is women in their mid to late 50s. Most seem to have at least one tattoo. Usually an ankle initial, barbed wire on the arm, or more likely a tramp stamp. All look horribly dated from the late-90s, which means they were well-grown adults when they got them. Point of the story is that you keep on not winning well into middle age and your only choice for a mate is the above demographic.

Same. Damn just realized how old & boring I am now. Take fish oils for my liver, doctors orders. Also try to get at least 6-7 hours of sleep a night. So insane to reflect on all the sleepless nights then functioning at work the next day. Lastly, don't feel like getting any more tattoos . Might as well take me down to the glue factory.

Kensington has been getting a lot of attention as the fishtown crowd has been getting maxed out. Keeps spreading north towards Lehigh ave. I honestly cant stand the look of those shitty condo/row homes but its a tell tale sign that more affluent neighbors are lurking

Does being a sad boy make me a hipster?

When I was 15-16 I would listen to Tegan and Sara while I smoked crack. Favorite band to pack some pebbles to.
I like to think that was pretty hipster.

The only time I ever smoked crack we were listening to Creedence and playing Mario Party. I guess that isn't hipster.

"Depression? Isn't that just a fancy word for feeling 'bummed out?'"

I think theres a level of style and sophistication to plain and simple outfits that doesn't make them "basic" or "normie" or whatever label people slap on it. Well fitting clothes and simple color schemes or prints will never be trendy or out of style.
"Basic" and "normie" applies more to people who follow trends IMO. Track suits, athleasure, northface, NASA, that shit is basic.

Yes. Navy/grey/black is a way to go. Also, when you get older you end up in places that have some kind of dress code.
I also have noted that shopping clothes becomes more and more of a fucking task.

I thought about this for a damn good amount of time. I can't support it, or defeat it. Like porn has a dress code, but then again it doesn't. Selling cardboard over the phone has a dress code, then again it doesn't.
I don't think anything is normie or not anymore. Grandmas have back-patches now, and kids reading the bible willingly have green hair and stud belts. Originality, aesthetically, is dead.

"Clearly I'm too fucking hip for you. Waiter, we're done here, separate checks please."
Then, after her disbelief fades, she chases after you grabs you by the shoulder. Spins you around an puts her mouth all over your genitals right there in the corner.

Did you ride to the restaurant on an 80's road bike that you have converted to a fixed gear? Do you have a waxed and curled moustache? Were you wearing a scarf when it was hot outside?

Was it the 1st person to ironically wear a trucker hat who invented the shit or was it some other fashion item?

trucker hats were the hot skater headwear item around 02-04. I have old ccs catalogs from back then and the hat section was like 90% trucker hats.
I don't think I ever heard the word hipster until at least 2010.

anyone remember this? I don't remember the year it came out but it was earlier than 2010. skaters did it ironically first - people like jason adams and ed templeton. or were they being ironic? then people influenced by skating started bands and it became a hipster thing. but that all happened more like from the 90s to early 2000s.
-
Skaters were ironically and non-ironically wearing trucker caps since the 1980s, and likely before. I am sure some form of hipsterism existed within skateboarding since the beginning.
As a precursor, Muscadin youth attire during the French Revolution ironically referenced the lower-class sans-culottes. In the United States, proto-hipster white youths had been emulating black musicians since at least Reconstruction.

This might be total bullshit that I made up. I feel like truckers came around as a cheaper alternative to promotional hats that were all fabric. Having the foam front and plastic back had to be way cheaper than all cotton panels. Then farmers and truckers and shit would get them from tractor stores or gas stations or wherever.

That sounds accurate. Just look at Ray Barbee with his RB Control hat (arrbee?). Before that, everyone would pick up free painters caps at the local hardware store. These became so popular during the early '80s that clothing companies started making their own versions to emulate skateboarders and bmxers who drew checkerboards on them. I feel that people seeking out truckers caps for non-utilitarian reasons can be traced directly to early Black Label skater Shawn Martin. He's somewhat the archetype of the NorCal/Pacific Northwest gnar-dog.

Im sure trucker hats popped up here and there. I was refering specifically to the ironic use of one and it could have been skaters or it coulda been art students or people in a music group. Hipsterism was bumping long b4 2010 holy shit. Vancouver for one place. Edit ^love that photo. I skated back then.

I buy Nescafé instant coffee and prefer it over anything else. My laptop is a hand-me-down Dell from a friend’s brother who works in IT. All of my music is digital, and I listen to it on my iPod that was picked from an electronic recycle dump. Am I a hipster?
all that stuff you mentioned is so UNhipster, that it is in fact hipster.

After reading the TNT v. Snugglebandit lawsuit, I'm going to have to say that the whole nor-cal gnar-dog look is largely ironic. Don't get me wrong, I love Wade Speyer, but co-opting the trucker look then actually buying a rig with skateboard earnings seems to be the complete opposite way people tend to become truck drivers.

As opposed to burning out on skating and going into trucking as a last ditch oppurtunity?

my gf and I are both obnoxiously hipster but also incredibly authentic in what we like so it's a weird hipster not hipster situation.
she's into craft beers but i don't drink so she brings me to breweries where i take tiny sips of her stuff and say shit like "that tastes spicy"
I'm into coffee and only buy local roasted shit and grind it every morning and do pour over and drink it black and she puts creamer in it and is like "that tastes spicy"
she's heavily tattooed, i have a few but they're all really shitty cause they were done in dorm rooms and bathrooms when i was dumb and young.
i'm vegetarian.
She's really into anime and video games and the greenbay packers, i'm really into art house films and old fashion photography.
She has a degree in sign language, I have a degree in writing - we both have unrelated jobs we dislike. There are multiple antiques around our place, typewriters, etc. all the furniture is midcentury modern. She comes to art shows i'm in and we always leave early.
we both wear a lot of stripes and we live in the hippest try hard town in NJ (asbury park) but we both also grew up here.
it's really cringey at times because it's like the perfect archetype of hipsterism- but at the same time we both just kind've like what we like and are pretty authentic about things so it's like a self defeating amount of hipsterism. it's confusing but also very low key. can't explain it.

She should totally get a job as an interpreter for ASL, I talk to all the interpreters we get for my daughters dr. appointments and shit and they make some decent cash. I've been to Asbury Park a few times, very hipster place. My buddy owns a company that operates near there so when I visit him we hit Kane or Dark City brewing. Or high Voltage for coffee.

My wife and I are very much the opposite in ways other’s outside of us don’t understand.
I am a white guy with a Puerto Rican lady whose into anime and arts and crafts but I am into black metal who makes chain mail and play’s in several bands I have created where she’s the drummer.
Totally the opposite of what is conventional, it gives others a head scratcher. I love it and I don’t give a shit.

check out cafe volan (bangs ave) for coffee, 20X better than high voltage although 20X as hipster also (they sell black flag logo t shrits that say black coffee)

Just was speaking with my wife about how being rich isn't as great as it seems.
That money really isn't yours and they can take it away just as fast also can get to you anytime they want especially is you are rich.
Look at Epstein he was just a loose end in the multiple headed pedo beast cut one head off there's another to take it's place. They saw nothing of worthwhile as maybe just maybe he was going to snitch? or his contacts knew they'd be found out so his life wasn't worth saving.
As they say you want to be rich but make friends with the devil there comes a cost with selling out and how many people who have been stepped on to get where they're at?
I'd rather be broke and getting by and owe nothing to no one but myself and my family.

paging chris hansen
oh damn, haha
paging epstein
Just was speaking with my wife about how being rich isn't as great as it seems.
That money really isn't yours and they can take it away just as fast also can get to you anytime they want especially is you are rich.
Look at Epstein he was just a loose end in the multiple headed pedo beast cut one head off there's another to take it's place. They saw nothing of worthwhile as maybe just maybe he was going to snitch? or his contacts knew they'd be found out so his life wasn't worth saving.
As they say you want to be rich but make friends with the devil there comes a cost with selling out and how many people who have been stepped on to get where they're at?
I'd rather be broke and getting by and owe nothing to no one but myself and my family.
Don’t even get me started on JE!
But yes inevitably the elites are corrupt and self dealing. And anyone in the club has either no humanity to begin with, or lost it along the way.

everyone should be content with where they are
but, i've never heard anyone who's doing well talk about how making/having money comes with all these problems. most people i know who are doing pretty well seem pretty happy. some take on some job stress, a lot of the time from the fact that so many people are depending on them for their lively hoods (employees and all that). but for the most part i haven't seen the negative effects of money on happiness that you see in threads on here and in memes on facebook except when it comes to people who get lost in drugs. and a lot of the time making good money comes as payoff for years of sacrifice and rising to the top of your chosen path. seems overly negative to me to look at successful people in such a negative light. if you have kids, wouldn't you want them to strive to be successful at something and to reap the rewards of the work they put in? i'd hate to instill in my kids an attitude that become successful and making money isn't desirable.

If I go back to what I said about being able to afford things when I made no money vs. being broke now when I have a salary and give some context and cut out the sarcasm, it would make a lot more sense. Younger hipster me lived with my parents and had no responsibilities other than go to school and work whatever job I had. All my money was disposable, so I spent it on whatever I wanted. I had less people competing for my time, so I could do what I liked most of the time. It was great fun and sometimes I miss those much simpler times.
Zoom 10 or so years to today and my life is very different. I live within my means and my monthly bills are much more than what my monthly income was 10 years ago. I work full time, take grad classes, have a wife and two kids, own a home, all things I'm proud of and I worked to get, but they're also things that demand a lot of time, energy and money. These days my money is spent on thing things I need and not always on the things I want because I'm the one that has to provide all the things. Not saying that I don't want a house and a car and food on my table, but that stuff comes first and doesn't always leave much for extras like cool clothes, vinyl records, expensive coffee, or other shit that I used to buy when I was younger. Same thing with my time. Sometimes I don't even get 15 minutes a day to do something I want to do for myself because I'm giving my time to other things I need to do. I don't ever want to complain or project the idea that I'm not happy with where I'm at and what I have. I know I'm very privileged, and I wouldn't be where I am without the choices I've made, but I do miss the past sometimes because of how simple and easy life was. I owe all of that to my parents and I'm grateful for their hard work and providing me with a life that was so easy and I definitely hope I can do that for my own kids. But I can't say that I don't miss the days of having no stress. The days of being bored. I haven't been bored in years.
Also, I'm sure you meant well by your first statement, but I disagree. Progress doesn't happen in a state of contentment. Not saying that you're 100% wrong, but I have a different perspective. Shalom.

I'm content where I am financially. All of the bills are on auto pay from a separate account that is specifically for bills. All the kids wants and needs are handled within reason and without spoiling. Money for gas and food and all those other necessities is always there. The feelings I have are more selfishness to do what I want to do for myself. There is always money in the recreation budget for skate gear, beer, weed, night on the town, some new clothes for myself, sneakers. Just not for multiple recreational items, if I buy some skate gear I know that there isn't going to be much left for anything else. Which is the part that bums me out, which I guess is that same part that makes you want to do even better, but that void ill always be there in some way. There will always be something out there that's just out of reach. A newer better car, bigger house whatever it may be.

What I was going on about was just those with excess wealth, not someone who is doing well and just being modest with their earnings.
For me I am glad where I am at now from broke as fuck to living within my means, I am good. I had some success longtime ago but that’s how I’ve been able to hold my head afloat.
Having worked with old and special needs people it’s humbled my situation with how I view the world.
Yea it has also skewed my perspective with those with extreme wealth as I’ve seen how they treat their elders albeit a allowance and a car maybe a card or two.
I think the person deserves more then money thrown at them.
-
Yea not sure who sleazy was replying to but I understood Darth’s post to refer to wealth/power that isn’t even fathomable to anyone on here.
-
i probably misunderstood. i guess your point was about that rich versus wealth thing. most of the people i know would be closer to rich, people who worked their way up from humble beginnings and are doing well. generational wealth breads results in a lot of spoiled a holes with money like our current president.

English is but isn’t my first language, I get too far ahead of my writing and expect others to read my incoherent opinions and babblings, as if I was next to them.
Yes the generational wealth is something I’ve found quite frustrating, especially when you have to work for everything.
Say for example I do a round of golf with a rich person but I am coasting by on a client’s guest to a golf club, ummmm I don’t want to sell my friend out like hey he’s sick and he doesn’t mind I’m here but the golf club definitely does care.
Or when you’re invited by someone says oh call someone to sort you out.... like do you not know how the world work’s?
I’ve got a few older friends that have me on as their plus one but I keep my presence a minimum as to when I decide to hit the links I keep it cool and do my business and I am out.

i really appreciate how this thread has gotten into a serious life discussion kind of thing.
I agree mo money = more problems because a lot of times it comes with some level of aesthetic consistency. What I mean by this is that- when I was a pup, I was pretty content to roll around in a shredded pair of kicks and a deck with razor tail and some tiny wheels. A night on the town was ~$30 and that was okay.
As i got older, I got a job and started making "real" money and suddenly life is different. Have an apartment and expenses (life happens no big deal) but what's strange is the things that brought me joy and I always wanted in life wound up feeling disproportionate. In example, I always wanted an Eames chair, it was one of those bucket list life goals. When I move out / emancipate myself i'm going to buy an eames chair. So what did i do? I saved up the obscene amount of cash and when i moved out i threw down and bought the chair. Cool. Fulfilling. Pride. Much joy.
fast forward 5 years? Yeah the chair is cool but what's not cool is that since it's SO nice and SO expensive it makes everything in my apartment that's near it that isn't AS cool and AS expensive look like shit. So what happens? You buy NICER and MORE expensive shit to maintain the continuity.
I've found this applies to everything, got a rolex, congrats now you need nicer suits! nicer suits? watcha doing with that shitbox car? buy a benz. nice benz why do you live in the shitty part of town? move, newer place bigger need more furniture. etc etc etc on and on and on.
now your girlfriends shit isnt as nice as yours, looks / feels bad, bring her up to your level. etc etc etc.
I used to get a pressure crack in my deck and be like "oh whatever" now i go buy a new deck instantly because i work SO hard all day I DESERVE this nicest shit. Flatspots? no chance! etc.
not that i dont live within my means, i have savings and put money away for retirement and live comfortably, but it's an insatiable monster that I knew existed the first time i watched fight club when i was like 14 but didn't fully live with until i'm now 28.
maybe it's just my obscene OCD that fuels this, but maybe someone else will relate / chime in.
sorry for wall of text.
shalom.

I get a lot of the sentiments from this thread but I think there's a lot of context behind the scenes to feeling like back in the day x was better.
A lot of what I've read related to being more broke was also at a younger time, college, end of high school, out of high school starting to work, etc. I think those times are just different regardless of money, I think if you stretch that out and you're still working at the coffee shop at 45 with a girlfriend and a small apartment you wouldn't think so highly of it. Far be it for me to assume I would know how anyone would feel but that's my perspective.

Agree. It's just those things in life that you "know" but you dont ACTUALLY know until it is your life. Kinda like the phrase "day in day out" you know it when you're like 10 but you havent LIVED it yet

I agree. Me 5 years ago would've been jealous of someone that has what I have now. Me 10 years ago would've been stuck working at the pizza shop on halloween, the busiest night of the year, getting yelled at by my bosses only to make like $60. I spent last night trick or treating with my son and I can't even begin to describe how happy I am every year knowing that I never have to work another halloween in the pizza shop.

I think I first heard the term hipster when I was like 15 or 16. I'm 30 now. I've heard it used for so many different types of people and can basically say this: "hipster" can only be used to describe someone else. No one identifies as a hipster and if they do they wouldn't even be a hipster. They would just be a painfully awkward poser. Some people may see me and think of that word. I definitely thought it of some folks especially when I went to art school. Now in 2019 I'd say a large portion of younger people could be labeled hipsters but why bother?
Just be yourself and do what you like. :)

that's a fucking dope chair!
you should get your wife set before you get your rolex, luxury ride, etc...
i feel you on the momentum and pressure angle. life can definitely get like that. for me as i get older i just generally like nicer things more and value free time way less. i prefer staying busy hustling so that i can have nicer things and have money to enjoy my time off.
-
See to me and only me I view the things I have worked hard for can come and go, as long as I’m in it for the moment of happiness immediate and long run.
Having been in fucked situations that could’ve cost me and others around my life I’d rather fight for my life then my stuff. As that’s what it really is anyways?!
Sure the live fast and look good is a great way to have an outlook and totally understand doing it.
To me I could have everything taken away except my family and one board and I’m good.
I will say my ex wife and her family fucked me 9 ways from Sunday all my tools were stolen am I bitter kinda but that situation has been laid to rest 8 years ago and I’ve been happier ever since.
I’m about to be 42 and I’m buying a dream bike and I am hyped for this, life couldn’t get any better than this. Sober for almost 10 years now I’m living the life these days.

Yeah that tends to happen was in Seattle for a bit and I got kicked down some snuff tobacco powder and I loved that shit. It was good for in a pinch and not being able to smoke in a meeting and hard to explain in the bathroom like what're you sniffing? I show them a snuff box and they're like wtf? you can smoke....

it is a great alternative to smoking but it's not something you can find everywhere only at specialty cigar and tobacco shops and depending on the brand too.

double anything is not for me. i get too fucked up too fast so ive got to keep it between like 4-6% alcohol. i'll go through a craft kick, then i'll have the feeling like they all taste the same and i'm wasting my money so i switch back to regular stuff. Then I'll get bored of those and want something unique and go back to craft stuff. its a cycle. right now im sort of in the middle ground. my current favorites are shiner bock and stroh's bohemian.

Those are both pretty good and easy to find. I found a good go between for both of these worlds is Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing. Taste like it came from a small craft brewery, yet mass produced and fairly cheap.

my go to lately is cigar city jai alai which i got turned onto when i was traveling to tampa a good bit. it's a nice lighter ipa that has a good malt balance.
definitely a fan of shiner bock. my dad lives in australia and that's all he drinks when he's in the states. if you like it though negro model is pretty good to for something that's not quite as sweet.

Not to turn this into a film criticism thread but my elaborated problem with Lost in Translation is that the Scarlet Johansen character’s motives are centered around the idea that her husband is too work obsessed, leaving her isolated and seeking fulfillment elsewhere. That would make sense if they weren’t late 20-something newlyweds, she had to have known how work obsessed he was and had to be part of the reason she fell in love with him.
Reading between the lines it just makes Sofia Coppola look like a bitch who was mad that Spike Jonze’s friends weren’t impressed with her first movie.
Also I hated how Tokyo was depicted as an analogy of excessive living from the lens of a privileged white American woman. Seems like Vegas or Miami would’ve been more appropriate, but she wouldn’t have been able to use the sick Japanese aesthetic. So basically use the imagery, but diss the culture.
But yeah…hipsters!

Man the Kill Bill movies are my favourite movies in the world. I don't care how unreal the martial arts thing is. The fact that a woman is driven to do all that kind of supernatural stuff in order to get revenge for her fallen family really gets to me. Plus the "gore" and the super bloody fights are really cool looking imho.
Then again I'm a huge Tarantino fan so...
