What's a Hipster?

I'm ahead of the game. Hipsters wanna rehash the 80s and gay t bar Harley's
I'm bringing back the 90's. Loving cruzing the mission with the t tops off and blaring NYHC The eye rolls are so satisfying

You guys must be going to college bars or something. Most bars I go to don't have different prices between American brands, as long as they're not microbrews. I mean come on, the cost of Bud vs PBR isn't big enough for most bars to give a shit about, considering that they're already marking up everything by 300-400%.

Well that's the thing...Most bars in the city are going to have a tap selection, a bottle selection, and one or two cans of beer. Dive bars. I don't think many of them serve budweiser. They keep them around as the dirt cheap option, or...

Many times you will also get some kind of special deal as well, like a PBR and a Jameson for $5 or similar. Some bars serve PBR tall boys for $2-3...

If you are wondering why the sales are going up it is because of stuff like this. I don't think you can even get a bud can at many of the bars I'm in. You can get it in a bottle. If I am getting a bottled beer though I am getting something better.
 
I wear the same metal band t-shirts I had in 8th grade, spend half my paycheck on craft beer, listen to music nobody cares about and strive to keep it that way while using my encyclopedic knowledge of electronic music subgenres to make myself sound smart, shave only often enough to have permanent stubble, hang out with other bohemian people who reject society mannn, study film and un-ironically use phrases like "ethnographic nationalistic identity," and indulge in mainstream media and culture under the guise of critique or mockery.

I am a real hipster. All you dummies with tattoos and fixies and hand-rolled American Spirits who come from good families but dumpster dive anyway need to step it up and quit being poseurs (I spell it with a "u" so it looks more French and therefore more pretentious).

There are quite many differences.

:applause

PS. That brings up one weird thing about the stereotype: even tho' hipsters do adopt lots of old American stereotype things, their music taste is to only like some band you have never heard of, and the minute you have, they don't like it anymore. That was another gem from Williamsburg.

Hipstirs ride cafe racers, with boot cut jeans, rolled up show some ankle and 3/4 helmet so he can have his Ray Bans on. Which is a shame, I like the style of cafe racers.

You forgot the scarf, even in the summer, and no gloves.

There's a huge difference between real hipsters and "hipsters" who are basically posers conforming to a hip, urbane, internet-infused counterculture (which is just as bad as mainstream culture). I think if more people liked Black Metal that would be fucking sweet. However, if the fake hipsters started "liking" it for hipster cred (so ironic, hahaha) I would blow a gasket.

I like black metal because it's awesome, but also really stupid. But also awesome. They can't have that kind of relationship.

Well, for me I prefer a dive bar. The dive bars in SF are a bit different than a dive bar elsewhere. Generally the type of place pool tables, metal on the juke box, and you can switch between a Pint of Pliny or a can of PBR/Tecate.

I play in a bar pool league and between that, and barf travel meets I have visited a fair amount of these types of places in the city.

Most of the places I choose to go to are the types of places my motorcycle riding friends like to go to as well. I much prefer those places with some character to some sterile brew pub :dunno Most of the places I go to I know one or more bartenders as well, and many of them work at other places I like to go...

The shitty college bars are a bit different. The type of places where you find some waitress running around with jello shots on a tray. Although they probably have the same can deals...:laughing The type of places where they will have tons of Patron, so the college age "ballers" can do shots of it. They might have some Johnny Walker (insert expensive color) here too so the sophisticated college age ballers can do shots of that.

All bets are off though for college clientele and out of towners on the overcrowded weekends in SF. :laughing

These are the type of comments that make me laugh. You have such a strong opinion about something which you seemingly know very little about. Always the first to say someone else is "too cool for you", or pretentious etc etc. Oh the IRONY.

^ there is no right or wrong in this debate, dude. There's no definition of hipster, there's no scientific study saying why people drink PBR, or what they pay for it. And like I said, I don't go to college bars, so if they are distinguishing price between cheap beer like Bud and even cheaper beer like PBR, I wouldn't know.

As I said, I don't go to college bars either. I said that most bars in SF that serve actual cans don't even have many choices beyond PBR or Tecate. The cans are usually the cheapest options and or part of specials. If you can even get Bud it will be in a bottle and more expensive.

Yeh, the nerd goggles are a great example. The fact is, modern eyeware is infintely more comfortable, lightweight and durable than nerd-goggles (and on most faces, better looking). But hipsters wear 'em to be ironic.

In their own way, they are fashion victims, but on purpose. Which is ironic.

Dude, chicks wear huge glasses cos it makes their nose look smaller.

I'm an ol' dood, so I really don't know. Thought a hipster was associated the with Hip Hop scene, but I'm not so sure anymore.

If I wanted to be a hipster, should I have a specific mind set? Dress a specific way? shop at specific stores? Eat at specific restaurants? Listen to specific music? Live in specific neighborhoods or cities? Drive/ride a specific car/motorcycle? What does it mean to be a hipster? :dunno

Hipsters do not own cars. And if they own motorcycles...Lord help us..! :barf
