c) you actually like Art School douchebaggery


I know this isn't adding anything to the discussion.. but what the fuck did I just watch?
Girl struggles for minutes to open a can..
Puts contents of said can on her shirt while saying weird backwards-ish shit..
Proceeds to rip her pants and piss in the can (WTF ART?)..
aaaaaaaand cleans it up with her shirt to exit.

Maybe I just don't have an appreciative eye for "art"...
LOL


I get a feeling more than half the people in that room were like, WTF...and really they didn't want the girl to feel bad and just went along with it...if not...then...wow...

Do not underestimate hipsters or the damage they inflict on a culture collectively.

Example: Hipsters buy iphones because they are trendy when most of them (not 100%) actually would have been better off buying some other device to satisfy their needs (some other smart phone that doesn't have absurd software restrictions, maybe a small laptop.)

Hipsters now try to justify their purchase by pressuring others into buying other apple products with the promise of being trendy. As the fad catches on it validates the hipster.

The company (in this example apple) determines they can establish a marketing strategy to pander to these people and make considerable profits off of them while gaining marketshare simply by deploying products with stupid features that obfuscate as much of what actually happens in the device as possible.

As the market share increases, you start noticing more and more people sending you PDF files in your office that are mostly just single image files wrapped in a PDF, or a short list or memo that should have been in a text file. This is happening because as more people use products designed for the hipsters, they become less and less aware of the technology they are using, and how to use it properly.

After rejecting said PDF mails for months, one day some one sends you a .webarchive, you then completely flip out, grab your ak-47 put on a ski mask and go to the nearest school spraying bullets into the wall then taking your own life in a rather tragic turn of events.

Hipsters will never go away, and like bacteria in your digestive system, they do play an important role. But efforts must be made to suppress them whenever they start multiplying out of control or start spreading to areas that they have no business being around.


I didn't realize Chuck Palahniuk frequented these forums.

Seriously. This sounds like something straight out of his books.

Am I the only person here who people regularly identify as hipster? I don't think of myself as one, but everyone else does, so maybe i can explain a few things to you.

I have a collection of baller sunglasses, I wear tighter fitting clothes, im super skinny, I am up to date with culture, and my favorite bands are bands that none of you have ever heard of (or if you have, props to you! Long live Ed Sharpe & Magnetic Zeroes, Deadmau5, and Radiohead!). I hang out with kids who wear ironic t-shirts and flannel. I wear colorful clothes mixed with preppy clothes, but I buy all of them at goodwill. I buy 7$ organic crackers at whole foods. I don't shop at target after that whole emmer thing (MN politics, you don't have to care to get my point). I drink PBR (actually i'm moving to hams, you can get a 30 pack here for like 18 bucks and its not bad beer).

I guess, yeah, maybe you could call me hipster. I don't understand why so many people have such a problem with this. I'm not hurting anyone by being ironic; in fact, i think the OP is probably the biggest hipster in the world. This is EXACTLY the sort of thread a hipster would not make, which means that its almost inevitable that one would make it. Is the whole ironic thing making more sense?

and to all the people who think hipsters are rich as fuck: LOL. you CLEARLY do not know any of my friends. we're all poor as balls. I couldn't even afford books for school this year.

Maybe you're poor as balls because you spend $7 on crackers? But props to you for having the courage to come out and admit to being a hipster in this one-sided thread...

Anybody who uses the term hipster is a hipster or an old person. If you hate hipsters you are a hipster.

Seriously? I mean, I havent heard of the first band, but Radiohead is rather famous, and you dont really have to look far into trance / hardstyle without Deadmau5 popping up either. Anyhow, good for you that you know what you "are" and even better that you dont care I guess
really?

Yeah man, no one has ever heard of Radiohead, Deadmau5, or Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes...... LOL. how did you get such unique and odd taste in music (seriously, RADIOHEAD? WHAT IS THAT?), you're so ironic!!

I think "tnkted" may have justified this entire thread.

Unless he's trolling... in which case, Bravo!

If that's good art, wtf is bad art?!

Oh, that's definitely not good Art. That's not even good art.

Young art-school girl trying to make a nihilistic statement about society and its values; the absurdity of placing value on anything, and the utter meaninglessness of "things."

Maybe I just don't have an appreciative eye for "art"...
LOL

It's not that you don't have an eye for art; it's that you probably do, which is why it looks absurd.

Oh, also, I realize music is a very subjective, personal thing, but I LOATHE hipster/indie music.

Mind you, I don't just sit around blasting metal, I listen to a wide range of music; I just can't stand indie/hipster music for some reason.

I don't hate hipsters to be hip. I hate them because they are causing the decay of art with their so called "performance art" and I think this a good enough reason to hate them. I don't want to generalize or stereotype, but they are stupid. I've dealt with people who think they are deep with absolutely NO knowledge of what they are talking about. How can you hope to understand and have a level of depth when you have no knowledge of the past. I'm arguing this in reference to art. Most of them just make shit up and have no basis to form their knowledge on. The idea of art school is bullshit unless you start from the very beginning instead of starting at Jackson Pollock and his bullshit. If the majority of hipsters are constantly "going to parties, blogging" or bathing in their own "coolness" as everyone suggests that leaves no time to actually LEARN about art they pretend to understand. In essence, I stand diametrically opposed to hipsters and that is why I hate them.

i'm not really up to date on whats mainstream and whats not, and i don't really care, those are my favorite bands. if you're curious, here is some other music i like: Aphex twin (the earlier stuff, saw1 & 2), the roots, felix cartel, gtronic, pheonix, nin, deerhoof, caribou, local natives, etc. Are those mainstream? I wouldn't know, i never listen to the radio. all i know is that if i mention ANY of those bands to any of my uncool friends (lol) they are all like 'man, have you heard of taylor swift? she's pretty good.

You can spend your time bitching or you can ask me some questions. as i understood it, the point of this thread is for the OP to learn a bit about hipsterdom. if i'm wrong, and this is about trolling hipsters, i can bum off.

also, im making the
