Anything Apple could be considered hipster. They are great and all, especially for multimedia, but they are still hipster.

█████████ 01.23.2009 04:52 PM

nah, some of them are just plain stupidity.
i think even the most die hard apple fanboys agree.

afterthefact 01.23.2009 05:04 PM

Well, I don't have one, but from what I've seen, they are pretty good. PC's are definately more comparable though than most mac zealots give them credit for. People who love macs, at least in my experience, are so biased and swear up and down that they never crash (even though the apple at Best Buy the other day was frozen and had to be hard booted) and that pc's are outdated and can't do anything.

*it feels like they try too much! thats what bothers me.

cheers.
i used to hate it. not so much when it is about toasting, but when its used instead of thank you.
from my recent and frequent visits to london, i have come in terms with that.
still, if i use it, it feels like i discribed in the first paragraph.

another thing that irritates me and its off topic, is the usage of The wife etc, instead of my wife. it isnt used only from the english or americans, so im very off topic.
normally i should prefer the "the" over the "my", since "my" shows ownership and ownership of a person isnt my thing, but i dont. ok, i dont like "my wife" either, but the "the wife" feels to me formal in a puritan, old fashion, completely of a person who has swallowed a stick- way.

edit. "my girlfriend" isnt bother me. i guess its the ownership ^2, in the case of my wife, since wife alone indicates "ownership".
and yo to me, if i managed to get accross to you what i mean by all that.


So true about 'the wife' thing. Fom being a kind of joke it becomes apparent that it isn't, the article is used to set an ironic, imaginary foot down. It starts funny, it ends up in wanker too often.

The macs in my school are the slowest fucking computers I've ever used.

Hipsters. I n the past I believed I had a bulletproof way of determining ones authenticity as a hipster. But, alas, as time old friend has passed and My days and nights of ''being on the scene'' or atleast just out have wained, its hard to tell who is a hipster or who just likes the clothes they wear. Really, who cares. I bump into the guys from Hair Police occasionally at the record store and I suppose if you were to grade them on dress/grooming they would qualify as ''hipsters''. Well, once you talk with them you realize they don't carry the hipster attitude and the generalized baggage(literally and figuratively) that comes from within the hipster milleu. Basically, I see it as people that are trying to look,act,be perceived a certain way, and in the example of the hair police dudes, theres just people that plain old like the ''weird'' clothes they wear and just happen to appear homeless.

I will say this at the Times New Viking/Psychadelic Horseshit show, there were many a hipster that were way too cool for anything and yawned at you because your shoes weren't dirty enough. Piss off I say, I like my chav Lacoste knock-offs to brighten up the room.

I still wear hoodies and loose jeans. They're comfortable.

Toilet & Bowels 01.26.2009 09:06 AM

i love baggy jeans on girls

pantophobia 01.26.2009 09:14 AM

i guess the beginning of the end of the legging is near perhaps, which i kinda figured kinda started as soon as my mom started wearing them

RdTv 01.26.2009 09:17 AM

It was strange watching the baggy jeans fad transform into the tight jeans fad. I remember seeing skater kids with enormously baggy, overtly baggy,ridiculously baggy jeans walking the streets with their anime' hoodies and what not. Now its the exact opposite, kids skating around with basically denim dyed skin-tights. The anime' hoodie switched to some neo-obscure screen print of the word ''Brooklyn'' in a graffiti-esque font.

I don't like tight anything. Its uncomfortable, but I was and still am equally uncomfortable in anything super baggy. Hence my moderation and neutrality in this movement has given birth to a new trend...comfort. I wear what I like regardless of some random underground designer in a NYC basement or Lacoste. Hipster, Chav, Wanna-be...I seem to be exempt from all these ''labels'' because I don't fit into any of them, and with much fret and anxiety.

I suppose my style is confused.

sorry to call her idiot, but i dont like her aura. she dresses fine, but she doesnt have "it". in my opinion.


Kate Holmes always looks slightly.....odd in pictures, like she's inhumanly happy etc. I would imagine her wardrobe is given the full Scientology treatment, so that every piee of clothing that she wears is "clean" of any evil non-Scientology vibes.

i have been mostly wearing skirts and dresses of different styles/decades. mainly 60s and 80s.

i only wear leggings with a dress or skirt and boots, so they don't look like leggings. they're good for very cold days, when tights just don't do the trick.

pantophobia 01.26.2009 09:56 AM

well i was generalizing, the so called suburbanization of styles, even if she is more conscious then many

i do prefer the look of skin tight personally, i went through a baggy faze a decade ago, and i just don't like the look, just wish there was a happy medium in tight jeans that allows better comfort with the snug look

Savage Clone 01.26.2009 09:57 AM

I've always looked considerably more goth/hot topic/midlife crisis than most of my friends, but I enjoy wearing ridiculous outfits, so sue me.

i go past victoria beckham's house on my train ride to work every day, she lives in a big mansion in a park. This morning i had a daydream about her when i went past her house that made me laugh almost out loud, and i had to pretend like i wasn't laughing.

crimes against fashion can be settled in a civil court now can they?

I won't be tried by a group of 25-year-olds with nasty beards and ugly brightly-colored sneakers.

that's the best kind of fashion, as long as you have a slight sens of color and proportions.

You'll have to work your knowledge of internation fashion law pretty hard to get on a jury in Minnesota.

Or witch trials when it comes to those with gothic cloaks and staffs.

Anyway, the other day I could smell what hipsterdom smells like, when we were attending to an ambient night at this student place.
