But the only thing I'd care about is if they (we?) raised the prices of drinks, and a hipster invasion usually doesn't do that. If a bunch of hipsters go to your digs, who cares? The Royal is hipster, Frederick’s (before it closed) was hipster, just about all of Morganford is hipster. Who cares?

Re: Snorg tees girl
Back to our friend, Alice -
The effect is ruined if you look at too many pictures of her. You can't feel as though she's always in that "I'm happily surprised at your blend of charm and inappropriate humor" look. After too many pictures she starts to seem ingenuine. Probably she gives all the guys that look. She can't possibly find everything funny. And if she's like that all the time then it's just annoying.
This works when it's a banner ad you might happen upon only once every so often. Here we've collected many of her pictures and well, she seems easily pleased and it's not attractive anymore. Thanks, everyone.

I've never really read it. Someone sent me that article ago and I liked it.ghostrunner wrote:Adbusters is the epitome of people who think they know more than they do.haltz wrote:http://www.adbusters.org/magazine/79/hipster.htmlThe American Apparel V-neck shirt, Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and Parliament cigarettes are symbols and icons of working or revolutionary classes that have been appropriated by hipsterdom and drained of meaning. Ten years ago, a man wearing a plain V-neck tee and drinking a Pabst would never be accused of being a trend-follower. But in 2008, such things have become shameless clichés of a class of individuals that seek to escape their own wealth and privilege by immersing themselves in the aesthetic of the working class.
My sister and her husband are sort of hipsterish. He makes music on his laptop and their christmas tree was balled up green construction paper stuck to the wall in a triangle with red scattered throughout, and they slide their TV around on a towel depending on where they want to watch a movie. Maybe not hipster so much as a little weird.
Anyway, she told me today that they are going to a "sports bar" to watch the super bowl. I asked if they were going for real or ironically and she told me to shut up.

Re: Snorg tees girl
I hate adbusters.
I bought that one. The article about hipsters just pissed me off. It was totally critical of hipsters, yet the magazine was totally hipster porn. Considering I bought it at an independent record store from a chick wearing a lynyrd skynrd cd with super expensive american apparel jeans, I felt it was pretty hypocritical.

Please don't buy a brown Lafayette Square one. I don't want to be accused of having a hairy-armed twinkie twin.G. Keenan wrote:I will be buying some of those STL shirts.

How do their sizes run? Are their mediums on the smaller side? I don't want it to be too tight.
