my favorite message board posts have always been posts, like this one, where people take the time to post about the postings of other posters who post.

quality stuff, lil' lady. quality stuff!

also, what kind of wünderkind looks around this board and wonders to themselves "there seems to be too many posts here".

hipsters, that's who. motherfucking hipsters.

- People who haven't heard of Sonic Youth think you're a cunt. Not a hipster. Just a boring, whinging, too-white cunt.
- Some people think about what they wear before they leave the house.
- Some people don't think about what they wear before they leave the house.
- You, meanwhile, need a wash.
- This is the internet. It and the outside world are not in competition. It's arguable that they might even complement each other.
- In the fine schoolyard tradition of 'whoever smelt it, dealt it', the only people who are hipsters (in the sense of being vacuous, vain and overly obsessed with the opinions of some spurious clique) are those who accuse others of being hipsters.
- The world is large. Fundamentally, you are small. Don't be petty as well.
- For fuck's sake. No-one cares or ever cared about what you or anyone else thinks a hipster is or isn't.
- Get a wash, for the very sake of fuck.

Beautiful.

My view of it is that 'accusing' someone of the term 'hipster' is just labelling people and boiling them down to a set of preconceived factors. It's dumb stereotyping.

But the stereotyping exists. It happens, so why not discuss it?
Then again, why discuss it? Because I was bored, it was midmorning on a slow Monday. I actually don't give a shit one way or another.

Oh you know, it's an internet thing. DJ Rick put it better on this same forum, with no offence to Glice, obviously, when he said that perceiving someone as being a hipsters just because of the way they're dressed is a form of insecurity. Of course there are elements of what Glice said above which can be annoying, but you know, it's not so bad in hipsterland like they tell you. Besides, Vice magazine puts on some free gigs by bands that won't hurt you so bad when you attend them. They did a feauture about Doc Corbin of Crucifucks too. It's not all that bad. Let's move on from this crap.

Discussion of 'hipsters' tends to be full of diatribe like "I HATE HIPSTERS!!!" and "What's up with their moustaches?"

I hate black people, what's up with them eating fried chicken?

It really is not an important thing whichever way you look at it.

Yo, I'm just trying to make the world a more positive place.

Sure, and I am agreeing with you.

is it still ok to hate hippies????

Really? I've been called a hipster since I was a freshman in college. Among other things. But never in an insulting way.

"Scenester" was the offensive one. I hated being called that.

This is more like what I was getting at.

Like, kind of a "why can't we all just get along?" thing. Hipsters and hippies.

Phish is ok by me.

But yeah widespread panic is terrible. I've had the misfortune of attending a number of their shows, just to glimpse the better bands they were touring with.

lesbians...what's up with their moustaches???

Lesbians are treated much, much worse than hipsters in London. And any transgender people too.

dont like.
however, it surprises me too. especially the latter. you made me remember again our beloved Zelma (rip). we were in London (1994) and she was thrilled at the acceptance and acceptance she was recieving and enjoying the early mornings in tube going to dunno what remote zone it was.
weird.

A lot of transgender people are, at the best of times, treated like drag queens or woman-like beings. Which is not all there is to transgenders. It is a genetically more sensitive area than just swapping traditional sexes.

for the record, I don't know any lesbians with moustaches but as derek so crudely pointed out, I do know black people that eat fried chicken.

hipsters? no idea. I don't associate with that crowd. at all. ironic cunts.
