Alcofribas Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 why are these so controvercial? I rarely see people bitching about rings or necklaces or decorative clothing per se or even tattoos but the slightest mention of non prescription glasses for fashion gets people all in a wad. so what gives? I for one do not wear glasses as I am not a fucking loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCONES TO DIE FOR Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm far too old and dull to be a hipster. And I live in a rural area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I think the hipsters are just being nice. It's like in that Vonnegut story, Harrison Bergeron. They're self-handicapping (albeit in a superficial way-- they are hipsters) so that the people who have to wear glasses don't feel as completely defective as they, in actuality, are.

Frank Poole Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 it's the same reason people have always hated hipsters: IRONY FOR THE FUCK OF IT edit- and what's the deal with pimps and canes?

Boxing Day Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I don't understand WATMM's obsession with hipster? I'm pretty much new here .. did something happen in the past? (Like a traumatic experience involving a hipster?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBLA Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 lol @ rural hipsters as a glasses wearer, do you feel hipsters are being insensitive to your plight? is that why people are so pissed over this? i have a friend that wore fake glasses around me... i told him to remove them and he hasn't worn them since. he was that dude that dressed like whoever he was hanging out with. when he hung with me, he'd wear glasses, grow some facial hair, and wear a form fitted jacket. when he hangs with his rockabilly friends, he'd wear his hair in a pompadore and roll up his jeans. whenever he hangs with his goth friends, he'd wear a black leather vest with no shirt underneath and black pants.

patternoverlap Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 It just seems like a pathetic attempt to look smart/nerdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcofribas Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 asym, that's fucking weird yo! in the end I feel they're just trying to look cool to be accepted by others, get laid and feel good about themselves. like anyone really. and as for what's the deal w watmm's hipster obsession: we're most of us in roughly the same demographic and like a form of "indie" music (ae is probably more indie than most "indie" bands) and "hipsters" are the mainstream versions of us -- they're skinny, white, into music, read the same books ("read"), etc. it's not weird or fascinating that they should come up. if I go out to a bar and meet some one who knows of ae or aphex, chances are they're hipsters.

Alcofribas Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 I doubt that most hipsters look in the mirror and think, "oh I'm looking suitably nerdy/smart today." they probably just think, "yeah, this looks aight. hopefully Karyn will go out with me." *puts on hudson mohawk* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCONES TO DIE FOR Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 as a glasses wearer, do you feel hipsters are being insensitive to your plight? is that why people are so pissed over this? I've never been known to be on the anti-hipster thing around here. They don't bother more than anyone else really. lol @ rural hipsters there's a thought, are hipsters purely an urban thing? i reckon yes fucking hipsters There are indeed hipsters in my town. But it's not completely rural. It's a town of 30,000 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcofribas Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 the distinguishing thing about hipsters that makes them so reprehensible is their insincerity. a rural hipster would actually have to be moved by music, find comfort and joy in tight pants, etc since there would be no social group to vaildate their decisions. bloodless fucks.

SCONES TO DIE FOR Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 the distinguishing thing about hipsters that makes them so reprehensible is their insincerity. This goes for anyone really. a rural hipster would actually have to be moved by music, find comfort and joy in tight pants, etc since there would be no social group to vaildate their decisions. They have their small social groups. I'm sure they ultimately aspire to eventually move away to the large cities where most of watmm lives.
