A serious question about the hipster

Ok, so I know that the average dude in the hood looks up to the pimp and drug dealer and thats what they aspire to be a true "Hustler". So who does the hipster look up to? What is their aspiration and what are they trying to be?

    I've always assumed it was John Lennon

    but then again what I think a hipsteris and what you think a hipster is will not be the same.







    I'm usually right though so I'm going to stick with Lennon

  • The nature of the hipster is quicksilver.

    Hold on...hold on....God and John Lennon?
    I didnt think that Hipsters wore sandals.
    Am I wrong?
    Or just ?

    My impression has always been that they aren't so much looking up at anyone, but moreso, looking down at "you".

    tragic.

    Scarves and tight black jeans are a must. And fanny packs?


  • I want to be different, like everybody else I want to be like
    I want to be just like all the different people
    I have no further interest in being the same,
    because I have seen difference all around,
    and now I know that that's what I want
    I don't want to blend in and be indistinguishable,
    I want to be a part of the different crowd,
    and assert my individuality along with the others
    who are different like me
    I don't want to be identical to anyone or anything
    I don't even want to be identical to myself
    I want to look in the mirror and wonder,
    "who is that person? I've never seen that person before;
    I've never seen anyone like that before."
    I want to call into question thevery idea that
    identity can be attached
    I want a floating, shifting, ever changing persona:
    Invisibility and obscurity,
    detachment from the ego and all of it's pursuits.
    Unity is useless
    Comformity is competitive and divisive and leads only to
    stagnation and death.
    If what I'm saying doesn't make any sense,
    that's because sense can not be made
    It's something that must be sensed
    And I, for one, am incensed by all this complacency
    Why oppose war only when there's a war?
    Why defend the clinics only when they're attacked?
    Why are we always reactive?
    Let's activate something
    Let's fuck shit up
    Whatever happened to revolution for the hell of it?
    Whatever happened to protesting nothing in particular, just
    protesting cause it's Saturday and there's nothing else to do

    but i think hes a vegan?

    dunno about that, but he definitely set off an unfortunate wave of (hirsute, unwashed) Republican chic in Baltimore a few years back -- which has thankfully subsided.

    that said, I think he's an interesting and provocative personality at times.

    you know, this is a good question

    i was thinkin this very same thing the night my friends and i were initially denied entrance to a club because we were dressed too clean and color coordinated. the spot was lettin all types of badly dressed hipster folks in while explaining to me that we didnt belong there because we were too "hip hoppish". had me wondering who was starting the styles that eventually trickled down to the everyday hipster.

    vincent gallo is a good dude. you cant front. hipster or not he gets a pass on my block.

    Ok I have the answer! It is No One........... Yes they do look "Down" on you and what they are is a community. How do I know? I stopped and asked one today! I'm dead serious........... So he explained that he will call his friend to see who is going out because it's really all about them being TOGETHER but not looking up to aspire to be LIKE someone. Just being a community.

    Two words - Vice Magazine.


    But the true hipsteur is holier than thou, and will never admit to taking hipster cues from anyone. Unless they can then say it's "ironic".

    I thought these hats were cool before coming cool. I don't own one though. Same goes for the beanie.

    The hipsters look up to the starving artist around cheer. The local graff artist, or the latest art gallery owner. But fuck, I support that shitt too. I'm cool with hipsters, just get the fuck out the way, and move on with yourself, you'll be forgotten sooner or later.
