Re: Snorg tees girl
I don't feel like self awareness is something hipsters are good at. They judge others but don't see how ridiculous they are. Self awareness is for people who live and dress plainly. I feel like it's impossible to be a hipster and know you are. That makes you a poseur because you are choosing and planning to look and behave like what you think a hipster is. Real hipsters are oblivious to their true selves. They live with the blind self-assuredness reserved for only narcissists and children of a privileged society. There are no hipsters in poor society.omaha_red wrote:i was just trying to further my question.. do they know they're hipsters and is it a bad thing..maddash wrote:Exactly.

Nah, not that deep. Just saying a hipster won't ever admit it.maddash wrote:Exactly. This is assigning meaning to a culture that has no meaning.haltz wrote:this question doesn't work.omaha_red wrote:are you a hipster?
I like this part of the article the best I think:
Lovers of apathy and irony, hipsters are connected through a global network of blogs and shops that push forth a global vision of fashion-informed aesthetics. Loosely associated with some form of creative output, they attend art parties, take lo-fi pictures with analog cameras, ride their bikes to night clubs and sweat it up at nouveau disco-coke parties. The hipster tends to religiously blog about their daily exploits, usually while leafing through generation-defining magazines like Vice, Another Magazine and Wallpaper. This cursory and stylized lifestyle has made the hipster almost universally loathed.
“These hipster zombies… are the idols of the style pages, the darlings of viral marketers and the marks of predatory real-estate agents,” wrote Christian Lorentzen in a Time Out New York article entitled ‘Why the Hipster Must Die.’ “And they must be buried for cool to be reborn.”

Which I find a bit odd, because for some reason I see a lot of hot hipster chicks out there. Maybe not "hot" in the classic sense, but hot to the point that I want to snorg their tees.JL21 wrote:A GIS of "hot hipster" is, as expected, full of mediocre images.clevername wrote:when did this discussion about hot chicks turn into sociology class?

Re: Snorg tees girl
soooo they have created a culture around not wanting a culture?
