Why do people hate HIPSTERS?

[Harrod]

I think apple products when I hear the word hipster. How many of these people do you see sitting in a Starbucks browsing on a Toshiba laptop?

Let me help you with that:

It's outdated, but I think now it's the steampunk nerds with monacles (the freaks that think Tesla was God) that rule the hipster world :awe:

looks like the people in a bar in Boulder Co.

I'm sure a lot of people who hate hipsters think of them as leeches on society. Or maybe not so much leeches but just people who don't really contribute anything.

They conjure up images of guys with nerdy glasses, super skinny jeans, sitting in a coffee shop doing their "work" which is blogging about coffee shops or writing a play, etc. They only eat organic food, drink $10 latte's, and won't support any mainstream thing.

Hah so they ARE hippies. Just the new-age hippies. They just traded weed and sit-ins for lattes and blogs.

Anyone who blindly follows the latest trend and adopts as many aspects of it as possible to prove that they're different is a gigantic idiot and deserves to be hated for that alone. I don't hate the glasses or tats or other little toy props they use, I hate the complete lack of brainpower that is displays to feel that you need to conform to show how much you hate conformity.

Hipster to me is someone that was into something like a style of music or style of clothes before it got super popular. Once something gets popular the hipsters abandons it and mocks people who now are into it. When they themselves where into it but because it is now popular mock people who are into the popular style. This rubs people the wrong way.

I hate anyone who puts on airs as a way of life.

Hipster is a term that if it ever had any real meaning, has already lost it due to it being used to describe almost anyone you do not like based largely on appearance. Granted, there are some people that are so obvious that anyone could immediately see them and label them hipster.

My concern with the term is that it seems to be increasingly used to describe an entire generation of lost 20 somethings, and the connotations and stereotype do a disservice to many of us hardworking people recently out of college.

Only two things about hipsters annoy me. The belief that a table in a coffee shop belongs to them for as many hours as they feel like sitting there, and the ever-present miserable demeanor. It's impossible for that many people to be that miserable every waking moment unless they are forcing it.

 

[iRONic]

Because being trendy is annoying, and thinking your trendiness is unique is face-punchingly annoying.

Was your uncle wearing skinny jeans, a tight flannel shirt, and clear lens glasses when he touched your winkie?

I hated hipsters before it was cool to hate hipsters.

Hipster.

Oh but they support Apple - is that not mainstream enough?

F'in Hipsters!

 

[waggy]

Only reason i dislike them is that they try so hard to be "unique" or not to "conform" and fail its funny. they all look alike, act alike etc.

Ionly hate hipsters because the are stupid. I mean, really stupid. I lived in Williamsburg Brooklyn (hipster douchebag central) a few years ago, and I am in my late 40s. My apartment was above this hipster apt. 4 people lived there, claimed they where journalist. One day the light bulb in the hall burned out. I was coming downstairs and the 4 of them were staring at it for minutes. I looked at them and asked whats wrong. They said they called the electrician because the light was out. I went into my apartment, got a spare light bulb, changed it and voila, light. I looked at them and said "How many hipster douchebags does it take to change a light-bulb?", they just looked at me like chimps. Dumb fucks. I literally moved back to manhattan 6 months after that.

Ironically, if you were in a Starbucks using a Toshiba laptop, you'd be the only true hipster.

 

[MisterJackson]

How did the hipster burn his mouth?

















He ate pizza before it was cool.

:awe:

I fucking hate hipsters, mainly because of the "know-it-all" and condescending attitude they seem to have. I hate "normal" people with that attitude as well, but my hate for hipsters burns especially fierce.

Hipsters don't go to Starbucks. They go to local coffee places which are obviously less corporate/evil.

 

[Jeeebus]

A dingo hipster ate my baby.

You got that right. There's a indie coffee joint not far from here that occasionally has food trucks parked there. A few weeks ago there was a taco truck and people waited in line for 3 hours to buy tacos. Of course, they all claimed the tacos were amazing and totally worth the wait.

In fact, there is no taco on the planet worth a three-hour stand-in-line wait. In reality it was the price they had to pay so they could tell their fellow hipsters they had a Curried Potato with Sriracha Lime Cream taco.

 

[mizzou]

Couple of things.

1. The big glasses need to go
2. Start wearing normal fitting clothes
3. Don't go crazy with the colors
4. Stop pinteresting/blogging/tweeting/ every. fucking. thing.

Get rid of those, then hipsters won't be annoying anymore.

+1 for meltingly cheesy!

 

[JulesMaximus]

Hipsters don't really bother me at all. Not sure what all the fuss is about quite frankly... don't you people have anything better to do?

 

[SlitheryDee]

...don't you people have anything better to do?

Nothing that I can't do at the same time as hating hipsters.
