Ok - ive been hearing the hipster is dead talk for like 2 years now. the fact that this conversation is still going on tells me one thing - nobody knows what a hipster is, or can define it. The thick rim glasses and moustaches definition is dumb as hell - cause thats a fashion trend, like any other. but we dont qualify any other fashion trend on existential lines.. ive yet to find a hipster who would admit to being a hipster.

Same thing with the term "yuppie." In the eighties and early nineties, you heard the term thrown around all the time, but you never heard anybody talkin' 'bout "HEL-LO! I AM A YUPPIE."
the only thing more annoying than hipsters are "journalists" who keep foisting these snickering, repetitive stories on us.
maybe they should try and dream up some new topic to cover....hmmm how about some stories on how vinyl is coming back into fashion again?
It is? When did that happen?
They should have a "Record Store Day," that would really bring vinyl back.

Isn't that the point/problem, though? There's no ideology, just fashion.

Although now that you mention it, I think some of these fake journalists have to go, too...
My neighbor just handed me a "Vinyl is back!" article in the AARP* Magazine, which makes it official - every single publication in the U.S. has done an article on this subject.

this is just whats needed, a million senior citizens being like, oh wow so i guess this mantovani record is worth millions!
The essence of the whole hipster thing is that no one can really define what it is. Its lazy journalism at its worst. They can't pinpoint what todays 20' somethings actually like so they throw around a bunch of generalizations. Facial hair,Tattoos, skinny jeans, fixed gear bikes and glasses. I just read an article about hipsters it today in the local paper and they interview this guy because he has a beard and is in his mid 20s.
"Hipster" is another one of those subcultures that is hard to nail down. It can refer to any number of bands, people or situations. But just like emos have bitchiness and goths have acne scarring, hipsters can generally be identified by their completely unwarranted arrogance.
It's funny because the whole hipster look. The chain wallets, goodwill clothes, ironic t-shirts, tattoos, veganism, indy rock thing was so big at my school nearly 2 decades ago. So I guess we should get some of the blame for this.

Well, no one ever said there was an expiration date on this stuff, did they? Bad taste is timeless.

Dude, Hampshire didn't need to be responsible for hipsterism to be a magnet for mockery(said the UMass alum).

just now actually. the topic is utterly, 100% played out.
making fun of hipsters is the new mardi gras w/o the bells around here...
But nowhere near as entertaining.

Fish: I was not responding to that part of the post.
I was sarcastically commenting on the "vinyl is back" sentence that you edited out:
