SCONES TO DIE FOR Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 We have visual evidence of the ancestor of hipsters. The term actually was around in the 1940s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Personally, I think the photo IS real, but is just a case of old clothes looking contemporary (or vice versa). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCM Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 the guy in the photo was just like, a fashion pioneer - everyone used to laugh at him when he suggested "this is what everyone will be wearing in 50 years". guess he's had the last laugh.

Guest Ominous Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 old-money WASPs have been dressing like that for ages, Ralph Lauren just recycled that look, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Wait, so because one guy isn't wearing a suit and hat in the 40s that makes him a time traveller or a photoshop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 well at first I thought he was wearing some weird portland hippie hipster hoodie, but its some type of pollover cardigan whatever the fuck.

jules Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 maybe that dude is "normal" and all those people in suits and fedora's are wondering wtf they are doing in 2010? they seem to be staring at some sort of time/space wormhole but the sweater guy knows he needs shades so his retinas dont get burned and ruin his ability to read pitchfork reviews.

Bob Dylan Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Those sunglasses are typical 40's/50's ski glasses anyway. There's one pair in my grandparents attic (sides in leather and rectangular slits for the snow glare) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 sunglasses, t-shirts, cameras. all things that weren't invented yet. Erm, sunglasses have been around long before the 40's, as were cameras. As for the tee shirt, any scoop neck pullover shirt could be considered a "tee" shirt. Those sunglasses are typical 40's/50's ski glasses anyway. There's one pair in my grandparents attic (sides in leather and rectangular slits for the snow glare) Yeah, I had a pair of those in the 80's (they were Vuarnet, remember those?) 'cept mine didn't have the slits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 He looks like a real hipster, of the soon-to-be Beat-gen sort, and was probably a pro photographer and also probably really liked heroin. The glasses are a little weird, but look more like something derived from the safety-glasses school of industrial design, and I'm pretty sure there were safety glasses like that back then. Edit: wait, '41? That is pretty early. He was probably just a shitty dresser and a photographer, accidentally forecasting later fashion trends.
