Anyone Else Can't Stand Hipsters?

I still see a few man buns around…

Would say I can't stand people who can't stand hipsters

It seems that the trend is not as prominent as it was maybe 5-7 years ago, but I still can't wait until it's no longer cool to be a hipster.

This is always the case, from beatniks emulating the so-called Beat writers to the most modern "cool thing" to do. By trying to be individualistic, they conform into an amorphous blob.

"Body Snatchers" effect, which was ironically pirated and emulated from Heinlein's "Puppet Masters".

It's all so tiring, but will continue as long as humans exist. Now if only they'd get rid of the sissy looking skinny jeans and mom jeans and bring back the low rise hip hugging jeans in style. They are harder to find now.

Mom jeans are not a hipster trend whatsoever. Not sure who is keen on the low rise hip hugger jean trend returning. Certainly not me.

Sissy is an outdated word. Doubt my kids have even ever heard it.

I also like people who challenge norms but some people are insufferable about it. Music folk seems like they might be one of the insufferable ones.

Most people are insufferable about something to someone. Even you.

You are right and my comment was unnecessarily nasty. I withdraw it.

Yes, they’re the worst.

Hipster seems like a dated term, but “performative coolness” is definitely an annoying thing.

My 2009 issue with hipsters was that they would plead poverty and dumpster dive and skip turnstiles and whatnot, but really they had trust funds and fancy fixies. Fake fake fake.

Those aren’t hipsters, you’re thinking of trustafarians.

I prefer hipsters over the current crop of youths sporting blue hair, baggy jeans, and made up ailments and performative victimhood.

What's a hipster?

Is this a joke? Trolling? There haven’t been any “hipsters” for a decade.

DH and I were at dinner earlier and there was a couple at the table next to us that were clearly hipster parents who are still trying to be cool. I honestly hadn't thought about hipsters for some time but overhearing these two talk about some upcoming shows they were attending, the husband talking about how he wants to have their son not play sports because they're too mainstream and the fact that he had a bizarre looking mustache reminded me how much they've annoyed me over the years.

It seems you and DH need to attend a few shows or something, to keep you engaged in each other.

Yeah, what’s wrong with going to shows? Is liking music not allowed?

DP. Probably fine with OP if you’re talking about going to a Taylor Swift show or something.
