How to live without irony (or: why Hipsters are poisonous)

[Legbiter]

Hipsters seem big in the US, but over in Europe (Berlin excepted), they look more like a minor subculture.

Even in the US they're a minor subculture. It's only the hatred of them that's big.

[Barrister]

Are they really a subculture?  I always took it more as a style of dress.

Oh ok.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see them rounded up and melted into biodiesel as much as the next guy but they seem alot more established somehow in the US.

You really don't see many hipsters. When you do however, a boiling rage should burn within your soul.

If it doesn't, you have hipster tendencies.

That's a first, Generation X being useful.

Lol.  Useful in the sense that they've made good disposable foot soldiers in the Boomers' war against the future.

I have hipster tendencies then, and I don't give a fuck what you may think about that

My avatar is disappointed in you.

I flunk 'em.

[Ed Anger]

I don't get them. The supply chain isn't ironic enough.

[PDH]

Oh, being forced to take a class on on Western Civ for anyone in the A&S college is plenty ironic...especially when I tell them "blue book  exams"

[Josquius]

"Hipster tendencies" psssh. Its the hipsters who have Tyrish tendencies.
That's why I dislike them. They make stuff I actually like uncooly cool to like thus it seems I'm trying and failing to be a hipster (since I don't like all the crap they claim to like).

[Razgovory]

I don't know if I ever met a hipster.  I'm not exactly Mr. congeniality over here.

[CountDeMoney]

You really don't see many hipsters.

You don't see many in the wild, as they seem to gravitate together, sort of like all the life form readings of the colonists in Aliens, all bunched together in enclaves like Williamsburg, Georgetown, Hamden here in Mobtown, etc.

Nuke 'em from orbit.  Only way to be sure.

[Ed Anger]

A prime spot for them is any shop that sells vinyl. Then they swarm over them like maggots on a corpse.
