So they're a hip hop group STFU.

Thanks for your critique of my conduct! I'm sure it will prove very useful here on the internet.

Though it is curious to be the only person in this thread deemed worthy of such an epithet

I love how Frownie voted for Exo and vice versa

dervish sounded like some sorta indian name or some**** to me. i googled it and it means

a member of a Muslim (specifically Sufi) religious order who has taken vows of poverty and austerity. Dervishes first appeared in the 12th century; they were noted for their wild or ecstatic rituals and were known as dancing, whirling, or howling dervishes according to the practice of their order.

i think this guy's got potential

It means beggar, but they started calling those crazy Sufis whirling dervishes because they take lsd and spin around a bunch while wearing bad clothes. So he's either a Sufi (more likely) or a beggar.

Take it from me, they have internet at the library. He could be a beggar.

They're not being aggressive. If they were, trust me, you would know. This is an ordinary day on Music Banter, even a quiet one.

I don't give a sh*t people call me a hipster. Hell, I have some hipster qualities. I just don't understand why these qualities are connected with the term now. It seems like everything is hipster presently. Pretty soon, going to the gym is going to be hipster.

Also, if you felt I wrote an essay about it, you should read more. That wasn't an endurance test.

Especially his treatise on The Shining

That would have worked better had you defined "Essay". I'm not sure what point you describing rhetoric serves...

nah it's not

cause to say hey i just happen to dress the same way many other people my age dress without having derived any influence from the rest of those people = the same as saying you live in a bubble, on an island, unaffected by any other humans whatsoever

Hey **** off! This is MY island! You can't set up shop here! And watch out for my bubble --- OH YOU BASTARD!!!!!

I'd like to point out that neither Frown, nor Exo are in fact, actual hipsters. I need to make that clear before I say this:

At the Rush concert I attended last month, I had been seated next to 2 actual hipsters. I mean flaming hipster culture permeated the air around these two. Beards, glasses, scarves, and plaid shirt level hipsters. The one seated 2 chairs to my right asked me 'why I wasn't standing' at one point after I had gone to grab one of the biggest corned beef sandwiches on the planet, and I needed have a seat for a second. I replied "I'm old", as he said "No you're not, I'm older than you!", to which I replied that I was in fact 48. He then gave me a sideways look and went about his business. The one seated to my immediate right would not stop bumping into me. This was a big problem. I tried "The Look", but that didn't phase this little ****er, so I squared up to him and said "Look, if you don't stop bumping into me, we're gonna have a big problem. Do you want a big problem?", to which he turned a few shades paler than he already was, and kind of scooted to his immediate right about a foot or two. This was my first Rush concert, and I've been a fan since the 70's, so I wasn't gonna let these two privileged *******s ruin it for me. I had a smile from ear to ear for the rest of the night.

And now I have a new acronym...
