I was talking about the avatar, it's amazing how you managed to change to an avatar that still makes you look just as smug, amazing isn't it ?

I don't even know why I'm posting here, it's just an argument and no body ever wins stuff like this. I guess I'm just bored and I kind of miss the forum. Anyway, I'll toss in my two cents.

My feelings on this lay pretty close to t3cii's.

The term has actually been around for quite a while, and like t3cii I feel "hipsters" are more of a concept than anything and the problem is this: The word "hipster" means different things to different people.

Brooklyn has associated the term hipster with the kids who are "pretentious" and "act like they like stuff just because it makes them look cool" along with being obsessed with not appearing "mainstream." He listed off stuff about them being "liberal, all about the environment, anti-Hollywood, est." but I don't think it's so much about kids being concerned with this stuff that annoys him as it is them pretending to care about the subjects to look cool. So I just tie all that back into "pretentious, acting like you like something to look cool."

Or maybe it does annoy him, and since he's learned to use the word "hipster" to describe stuff that annoys him, he automatically labels people who like this stuff as "hipsters." And unfortunately, he also labels anyone who LOOKS like the people who annoy him with the same term.

T3cii, however, just associates the aforementioned bad behaviors as "being an asshole," so he already has a word to describe kids like that. That means "hipsters" is a pointless, empty term for him, especially Brooklyn's definition. Therefore, for t3cii, hipsters don't exist. Just assholes.

For me, my best friend dresses close to how Brooklyn keeps claiming "hipsters" look, but she doesn't match his definition of "pretentious" or "liking things just to look cool" so obviously, Brooklyn's case has some holes. And vice versa, I know kids who seem to act "pretentious" and "like things just to look cool" but they don't look like Brookyln's definition of hipster at all. (If anything they're more preppy and sporty.") So are THEY hipsters?

Again, it just depends on your personal definition, IMO.

Alright, once and for all I'm not "claiming" this that style is called "hipster chique" because hipsters (for the most part you'll never find 100% cases) dress like that. You can go to search engines and get into fashions sites with clothes under the keyword hipster... I'm not making this up... I did that and t3cii said it doesn't count because it was from a fashion site.

Just because you go to google images and search "hipster" doesn't mean shit.

Same case as t3cii, this one has an eye on a really hot hipster chick !

I liked hot chicks before liking hot chicks was mainstream.

But no, I don't have my eye on some "really hot hipster chick". Why? Because, by your definition of what a hipster is, that chick would be a stupid, annoying bitch. I wouldn't see her as a "hipster" and base my opinion on her on that label, I would base my opinion on how she acts and her personality. If she's some uppity, pretentious girl then there's no attraction to begin with. That's not how I roll. Physical attraction is only one half of it, if the personality isn't there then the physical attraction is somewhat snuffed out.

If she's some awesome, funny, and overall a wonderful girl to be around but dresses in a way that you might see as "hipster attire", I would definitely feel some kind of attraction because, in the end, how somebody dresses isn't a massive deal to me. Personality plays a major part into the girls I feel attracted to.

Nice try at being a smartass though.
