Anal beads isn't an option because you're not part of this discussion. L2engrish.

I do believe posting in this thread has insured that I am in fact part of this discussion. A more pressing question is why so aggressive?

lol vwls sonned by the new guy

So if I conform to what's popular, I'm a hipster.
If I strive to be original and my own person, I'm a hipster.

That's not fair.

Do you know how many people that encompasses? Everybody can't be a hipster. F*ck, I don't even care that I'm called one. I just don't understand the definition of what constitutes one. The whole "hipster" image has been so skewed over the last seven or eight years that literally ANYBODY can be one.

Suddenly wearing any shirt that isn't the predetermined 3% of clothing nowadays that isn't considered "cool" constitutes being a hipster. Liking Apple is being a hipster. Liking old media is being a hipster. Driving an old car cause you're poor is being a hipster. Getting glasses is hipster. Growing facial hair is hipster.

FACIAL HAIR HAS BEEN GROWING ON FACES SINCE THE DAWN OF FUCKING TIME. IT MAKES ZERO SENSE TO CONNECT THAT WITH HIPSTER-DOM.

Unless of course, the facial hair person is only doing it to be cool, which he'll never admit too, so we're left with making assumptions about people which is fucking annoying and basically witch hunting.

This wasn't directed at you that much JWB. It's more of a rant.

Also, I need glasses cause I'm f*cking blind. I did not do it to be cool.

no... conforming to the mainstream isn't really hipster imo... it refers more to counter cultural trends

again, to quote googlegod:

a person who follows the latest trends and fashions, especially those regarded as being outside the cultural mainstream.

The whole thing just seems totally unfair to people. It's a childish thing if you really think about it, like we're in High School with cliques again.

Is the label truly so repugnant that you had to write an entire essay about why it does not suit you? An honest question.

lol... not really, people just notice patterns because that's how our brains work. what's really silly to me is not wanting to be called a hipster because you want to consider yourself original. there's really no such thing. humans are social creatures and we regurgitate cultural memes without even thinking about it.

I'm not saying it doesn't suit me. I'm saying it doesn't make sense. Whether I like it or not, society has pretty much become obsessed with labeling people that, hence this thread. 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.
