I am really finding this whole thread hilarious - here are a bunch of people griping and moaning about hipsters while saying that the difference between hipsters and hippies is that hippies are more accepting.
I ain't no hippie. Not at all. However I do agree that this thread is funny. Downright hilarious. I don't really hate hipsters. I just take great pleasure in absurdity and meaningless hate (as long as it's not the kind that wants to exterminate people) is fucking hysterical.
A hipster is someone who follows the current trends and fads. Not just follows them, but eats them up. They typically think they're cutting edge, but in reality, they got their ideas from what Spin magazine says is cool and are just one of millions.
You can wear thrift store clothing and not be a hipster. Hipsters wear thrift store clothing because it's deemed cool by other hipsters and are trying to make a statement (a very lame one). Anyone can wear thrift store clothing for any number of reasons (I, for one, love the feeling of a shirt after it's been worn for a while and broken in), but doing it just because some other losers will think your cool is pretty lame, and I think that is one thing we can all agree on.
Oooohhh....now I know who you're talking about. They spend lots of money just to try to look like they really don't spend much money at all on thier outfits....they're just cool like that and happen to roll out of bed and make themselve look so cool with no effort at all (not really), when they really spend lots of time and money planning their outfits out and watching what all the other hipsters are wearing. Whatever, it is what it is. I think any type of person, no matter what you're labled, who cares so much about looking cool and being like others, really isn't comfortable enough to just be themselves and do what they want. It's too bad. They don't realize that being yourslef and wearing whater the quack you want to wear because you actually like it is what's really cool.
Mostly, I just roll my eyes cause they always wear black jeans on 90 degree days!! Luckily at a festival such as Pitchfork they generally stand in front of bands that I dont really like thus leaving me more room at bands I do!
ok, so what I gather then is a hipster would be... the person who booked half the bands for roo 08...?
Hipsters would probably only gravitate towards 1/6 of Bonnaroo's lineup last year...Pearl Jam, Metallica, Jack Johnson, Widespread Panic...these are all things that repel your average hipster.
Coachella on the other hand is hipster heaven. Lollapalooza to a lesser extent.

Holy crap is this thread hilarious. ;D
My two cents: An elitist attitude is an elitist attitude. Be it Hippies, Hipsters, Emo kids, Metalheads, Goth, Punk, hell, even Country fans. I've met more than plenty of people who fall into these categories at "their" shows. The ones who take themselves too seriously are the ones who I tend to laugh at. I could give two shits about how you dress, it's all about your attitude. Don't act like you are better than me because I'm wearing a Pantera shirt at your Belle and Sebastian show. And for godsake, if you have paid to go to a concert, and you like what you hear, make some fu*king noise! No one will judge you for your expressions! (<----my one single "hipster" pet peeve)

Exactly. whether you're shitting on someone for liking a band that is soooooo last year, or degrading "custies" for working for a living and disliking the Dead, you are an arrogent, elitist prick and I reserve the right to give you sh!t for it.

Stanky McNasty Smells of bar & bad decisions
Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.
And for godsake, if you have paid to go to a concert, and you like what you hear, make some fu*king noise!
OMG!! People!! At Lolly, during the Radiohead set, when Thom had to ask "you guys still awake down there??" when there were 100,000 F*king peeps at that concert??? Hello??? What the Quack was down front for that show? Total posers or WHAT???

I am guilty of this in my own way. When I see guys on the end of jetty dead sticking some over sized white rod sitting next to his spackle bucket I say to myself "you fucking googan." Then there are guys who say the same thing about me because I don't have a neoprene fowl weather top or use $400 Lamiglas rod and a $650 Van Staal reel. I guess there are elitists everywhere.

No, you see, hipsters can't do that - if they make too much noise, how will they hear their Blackberries ringing?

I love my mac........I'm am neither a hippie or hipster - too fat and old for either. Luckily, I've never been part of a "click" be it preppy, hippie, mod, goth, jock, geek, etc... These factions all have to put others down to attempt to lift themselves up.
My boss - 62 year old from the south just left the PC world for a mac. Now this is someone who started out with punch cards, the DARPA net, days of old when computers were young and large.
He got tired of all the security issues he was having with microsoft products.
Creative types were using the mac's and apple product long before microsoft understood what creative was.
Never hated either. Just struggle with people trying to reinvent themselves to be part of a group.

I do not know about the Macbook Air.......it looks too thin.
Something about the Macbook Air and those really thin women, they may be nice to look at, but when you start fooling around with them, they both look like they would break.
I'll take a normal computer, and I am perfectly happy with the curves my wife has.
None of that wafer thin, computers or women for me thank you.
