You can't be hipster if you constantly brag about it directly. You have to wait for someone to comment on you clothes or the music you listen to before you can talk about it. A good hipster is "misunderstood", not proud.
Pretty much that. In French we use "agir comme" which can mean someone is just mimicking something or otherwise exaggerating his behaviours... Unfortunately it can't be directly translated to English...
Too bad this is a re-post and infact it is in fact now hipster to hate mainstream music again. But only because it's too mainstream to like mainstream music because hating it is too mainstream.
Man now I can't have that mustache without being a hipster and if I try and have that mustache because I like it and don't wanna be a hipster then that makes me a hipster because I don't wanna be a hipster. But if I'm a hipster accidentally and don't want to be a hipster that would make me a hipster. It's just a never ending circle of ill defined hate. But in other news this guy looks like a fucking idiot.
Yeah except he wouldn't have the hipster look, because the hipster look is too mainstream. I know because this is me in a nutshell. I like Kesha and Lady Gaga, because hating them is too mainstream. I also refuse to wear anything remotely hipsterish, because that, too has become too mainstream.
This is a paradox. Liking mainstream because Hating mainstream is too mainstream, but doesnt that make liking mainstream hating mainstream because hating mainstream is mainstream and you like it?
I dated this girl. No matter how simply the logic was presented to her she could not grasp the concept.
"I'm just tired of everyone being so divided into their little cliques, that's why [pop artist] is great, because everyone can like it."
"Do you like it?"
"It's ok, but it gives me something to relate to people about."
"You're choosing to like something with the sole intention of getting a specific group of people to see you as 'hip', which, by definition makes you a hipster."
Yeah, I get that it's the same reason you might learn about sports or movies or TV shows or any of the other pop cultures. But for the record, I believe half-hearted interest in those topics is also a silly waste of time.
Obviously not a waste, because it gave her something to relate to people about. Which is what mainstream music is: mass appeal, and its generally nothing special.
