Hipsters

Didn't Razorlight do a song about Dalston? Is it their fault?

tony, it's sort of a bit like the whole mods and rockers thing from when you were young, but without the good music

Hipsters...

Never really thought much of the term's definition, really, but if it's easier to use than simply saying "w*nker" when a kid in Wayfarer-type glasses with no lenses in them screams "we want Friendly Fires!" repeatedly whilst Spiritualized are playing, it'll do for me. Never really fathomed what it means to be a hipster though.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

[russycarps]

are these people hipsters, or tits? or both? or neither? Please advise

I got a called a 'Topman c**t' in 2011, even though I wasn't wearing any Topman clothes.

[russycarps]

...That wouldn't necessarily mean that topman clothes....you know like as in the "topman" ..the billy big bollocks, the chieftain of a London street gang. (Also see: Next guy).

East Village, Stratford next init, it will be all retro and ironic to live where the Olympics were soon enough...plus with a name like East Village!!!!

Do hipsters exclusively inhabit London then? I wonder what makes a northern hipster? Are the Northerners still into "Donk" ?

"Hipster" girls are hot so...

not really complaining...

I just think our generation complain about everything now a days, right bunch of spoilt brats, the lot of us!

[James Bolivar]

Thing is, if a 'hipster' is determined by their dress sense - ie. being cool/following a certain sense of fashion - isn't everybody who has ever bought a new item of clothing from a shop a 'hipster'? I'd love to meet the guy who turns around and says, "yeah I make my own clothes for purely utilitarian purposes - in winter, I slay my own goats and use their skins to make my coats, and as you can see, I write poetry too..."

Being a neo-Luddite is so cool? Like, literally, like so cool?

The implication being what though - that you didn't spend enough effort or money on you appearance?

Mrs B insisted that middle-aged men do shop in Top Man so, a year or so ago, I ventured in to a branch - I think I was the only person in there who had passed through puberty. And do they make the sales assistants cum on each other to get that scruffy, sticky-up hair?

[MEGABOWL]

I think ultimately razorlight are to blame for almost everything bad in the world

I do enjoy Russy complaining about something being better before everyone turned up and it not being as good as it used to be and complaining about hipsters on the other.

Young people with their gels and styling mousses!

They just use pomade, wax and bear fat like their grandparents did.
