Hipsters

And just so you guys don't think the only cheep beer I consume is PBR here is what I'm drinking right now

Lost Lake Ice, cheaper than Miller and PBR but a little more nasty to.

awesome

first of all, saying the beatles arent good is like saying bmws arent good because everyone thinks so.

second, the velvet underground were in no way 'angsty'.  as far as things borne in warhols factory, the velvet underground was relatively tame, especially if youre any familiar with the other kooky bands of the time.  lou reed was smart enough to know what made 'pop' music 'pop', and he could do it with his tunes.

joy division is a band based upon the life of ian curtis these days, and its a bummer because musically, the band was extremely talented...just listen to new order.  its just too bad that ian curtis, a talented vocalist, though ill be the first to admit i never understood the bands appeal and always felt that he tried too hard to be different, managed to give an otherwise great band a forever scarred reputation after his on stage antics, and obviously his suicide, at age 23 nonetheless.

i just dont like when people pigeonhole the 'hipster' moniker as being strictly music-based.  in reality, its just the opposite.  chumps taking what theyre told is hip by sirius ch. 26 and mtv u and embracing it to a fault is what has taken 'hipster' to a whole new level.  now we have nerds painting their faces and wearing lamé hotpants because cut copy and santogold said its cool and cutting edge to do so.

i guess its just the recent influx of self-proclaimed progressive bands and their influence on 18 year olds that have really bothered me.

that said, joy division as a band does not suck, nor should they be compared to the velvet underground.  two different bands who, regardless of your opinion of their audience, have in their own way seriously influenced a myriad of bands in the past few decades.

shit for days.  ya right. maybe if you bought your shit from some nog down on the corner that cuts it with amphetamines.

Exactly

and don't try to slip this all in without admitting you're a hipster because I know from that safari sweeter photo that you are.

they see me trollin'. They hatin'....

Thanks for several paragraphs that said absolutely nothing about anything about nobody. Velvet Underground were quite angsty for their day, thankyouverymuch. I am very familiar with many of the "kooky" bands at the time - most angsty of which I'd say early electronica Jake Holmes bootlegs, but Velvet live '66 with the Exploding Plastic Inevitable is pretty damn angsty in my book. Real angst - not teenage Sex Pistols/Joy Division angst. I hate hipsters because they stole my culture and called it original; stole my favorite bands and started being elitist faggots - yes, I used the word because that's how much they anger me; started wearing my clothes, my glasses, eating my food and riding my fucking bikes and had the nerve to call themselves "original".

Yes, blah blah blah emo. I could care less about Joy Division. But look how you react. They're all just bands. Just 'cause you know about them doesn't make you cool. But that's the hipster way.

really dude?

listen to aphrodites child.  listen to love sculpture.  listen to the pretty things.  christ even listen to love for gods sake.  the velvet underground were a pop band.

no one stole 'your' culture, bro.  these bands have been around for 40 years.

You must be pretty old if Velvet Underground live in 66 is your culture.

but really how old?

And something hipster funny about Velvet Underground, does anyone remember a few years back when some doood found one of their original albums and put it up on ebay and it sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Music - not so much.

Culture I mean I grew up in Saudi Arabia - Riyadh - and Italy, collecting old cds adn riding road bikes to school. Clothing, i won't get into that, but I will direct you to a number of websites that I'll pm you. Basically, I hate the trend. That's all it is. there's no "oh fark hipsters fo life" and shit like that. They all just happened to stumble into it at one point or another and decided to be complete douchebags. At least, that's SLC.

Dude hipsters in SLC are just a ton of kids who used to be scene and realized is sucks balls. I was more into hardcore and metal for a while when I was young but never that scene shit. I live in Grand Junction, Co which is the closest you can get to SLC in CO unless you live in the middle of nowhere.

But really SLC hipsters suck for the most part I know a few cool ones that I could introduce you to, but if you want mountains and a good music/fashion/art  scene move to denver.

fuckin knew it. No one can suck that much all the time adn not incite mass genocide across the nation.

well i guess its distinguishing between the bandwagoneers (of whom there are many) and those legitimately interested in things.

i hate hipster culture as much as the next guy, but theres no need to put down the things theyre are into for that reason alone. 

music, clothing, etc, its all got a background, vast generalizations are painful.

what does the hipster say at an indie concert?

god fucking damnit you beet me to it

were you the one that took those?

haha yup!

big repost but its no big deal haha this site is too funny

i'm not really familiar with what appears to be this wholly american concept of pigeon-holing whole demographics, based entirely on what clothes they wear or what music they listen to, and saying you hate that entire demographic, but what i can say is that you all sound fucking lame.

you guys sound like a bunch of 12 year old mean girls wannabes. grow up.

how many hipsters does it take to change a lightbulb?
none, they all liked the lightbulb better before it changed.

what's a hipster's favorite color?
oh, just some obscure color you've probably never heard of.

Hipsters aren't that bad, I party with a bunch of hipsters sometimes. Its actually kind of cool because all of the guys are gay (seriously all of them are), so I'm like the only straight guy in the room. Lowers competition dramatically.

UVM/CHAMPLAIN/BURLINGTON

only if you have nothing else on

Cha makes me feel awful for days after I do it...(because I realize I spent two hundred dollars on it in a day and a half. haha but not really)
