Re: Snorg tees girl
I wonder if hipsters agonize over every decision that they make in life. Is this t-shirt too hipster? Does it make me look like I'm trying to hard? Does it make me look like I'm not trying enough? Should I be embarrased to wear this derby hat in a public place? Will I be able to pick up more or less women at the bar if I wear suspenders tonight? etc.omaha_red wrote:i wonder about hipsters sometimes.. they're kinda like white trash..
and what i mean is.. do white trash people know they're white trash??
and do hipsters know they're hipsters? is that a bad thing? do they admit it?
i really don't know.. i do know that yes.. they are ironic though

Hipsters get a bad rap, I think. Ultimately there's no clear definition of their subculture, mainly because it's a culture (or philosophy) of deconstructing mainstream and even alternative trends and making them as meaningless as possible. Hipsters even create trends themselves and then immediately deconstruct them (usually through irony). If I had to define them, I'd say they're anti-culture... so that going beyond being a counter-culture that's primarily anti-mainstream, but they're against cultural trends having any meaning whatsoever (even ones that are seemingly parallel, like bohemians). That would be a true hipster though... there are a lot of posers out there that just confuse things.omaha_red wrote:i wonder about hipsters sometimes.. they're kinda like white trash..

I think it's a valid reaction to a society where the glut of culture can be overwhelming.

Re: Snorg tees girl
http://www.adbusters.org/magazine/79/hipster.htmlThe American Apparel V-neck shirt, Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and Parliament cigarettes are symbols and icons of working or revolutionary classes that have been appropriated by hipsterdom and drained of meaning. Ten years ago, a man wearing a plain V-neck tee and drinking a Pabst would never be accused of being a trend-follower. But in 2008, such things have become shameless clichés of a class of individuals that seek to escape their own wealth and privilege by immersing themselves in the aesthetic of the working class.
