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.

...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? :P I wonder what makes a northern hipster? Are the Northerners still into "Donk" ?

Tyler the creator and Earl sweatshirt are performing this year, so no doubt thats where to go or avoid.. depending on your preference. I get called an artfag a lot when I paint, so maybe il go with the hipsters :)

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?

    • Tonight was a disgrace. There wasn't *that* much rain, and it wasn’t *that* windy. A festival of this size should be able to withstand some adverse weather without it bringing the whole circus to a standstill. And if it is true that part of a speaker on the Revolut stage fell…   As for the communication - announcing Massive Attack were playing at 12:30 and then nothing for over an hour while people waited in the rain. It’s laughable it really is.   If I said I’ll never come back again I’d be lying. The shambles of Barcelona 2022 and the disgrace of Madrid 2023 didn’t stop me, so this probably won’t either.   This festival gets so much wrong, but it is always saved by having such killer line-ups. It’s just a shame it treats the fans/customers/consumers like animals. Compare it to somewhere like Glastonbury and it’s worlds apart.
    • Yeah, I admit that a small part of me felt relieved when they announced that MA are canceled.. But on the positive side- got to see Florence Road afterall, and they were great
    • Glad I could take the €3 bus to Playa Catalunya! Hope y'all warm and dry up.
