That's almost a good definition, but what about the artists who make stuff that sucks?

They're still hipsters.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: "Please spell my name correctly."

well, i guess that's a better random definition of Hipster than what is normally thrown around...

I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt....but only ironically.

shivashakti: I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt....but only ironically.

I did that before it was cool.

I don't believe in hipsters. I think they're an invention of the internet. Much like LOL CATS. My cat, does not, in fact, want a cheeseburger. He does not ride an invisible bike or have an invisible sandwich.

God Is My Co-Pirate: What unhappy hipsters may look like.




can you guys pick a definition for Hipster and stick to it? For as much hate as hipster get, I imagine their detractors to be really uncomfortable in their own skin and filled with self-loathing.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: Joseph Gordon-Levitt: "Please spell my name correctly."

No, this is a different guy. You've probably never heard of him.

FeedTheCollapse: really uncomfortable in their own skin and filled with self-loathing.

Yep, that's a good definition for hipster.

Who cares about hipsters?

That's just what he wants you to think.

The trap is missing an iProduct.

Gonna have to disagree. Most of the hipsters I know are creative. It's the pseudo-intellectual elitism that is the problem. That, and the perpetually tired, non-conformist clichés that they and other subcultures always absorb.

And, if a cat were to speak, its grammar would be impeccable.

Mugato: I don't care if she's a hipster or not. Is she going to get naked in a movie before it's too late?

Dear Christ, that just made my day. Thank you for that walk down mammary lane.

What is that flat yellow thing?

thelordofcheese: shivashakti: I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt....but only ironically.

So during 3rd Rock? Because it's totally acceptable and non-hipster to love 3rd Rock since Kristen Johnston beats up hipsters for a living and hipsters have no idea who Jane Curtain actually is

I love him. He seems like such a genuine and nice guy. No snarky comments here. His smile in his song with Zooey were just so....happy and sweet. The more I learn about him, the more I like him.

Apple is so last decade.

And I hated hipsters back when they were called "Mods".

Thought he was a nerd.

It looks like a yellow bike chain, but I don't get it.

Colored bicycle chains are popular with fixed gear riding hipsters. But they aren't conformists.

"I wish I could shrink down to the size of an ant. And maybe there would be
thousands of other people shrunken down to ant-size, and we would get together
and dig tunnels down into the ground and live there. But don't ever call us
"ants," because we hate that." - Jack Handey

Nice picture, and funny line. Well played.

Now I'm not allergic to anything, and nothing about my bm's suggests that I have to stay away from certain cuisines, but pbr gives me the absolute worse gas. The fact that they drink that crap because it's cool is beyond me. Shiat, Grainbelt is a good beer, reasonably priced and tasted ok (and most of all the label is cool, but i'm a mn guy, so i'm biased). Nord East is actually pretty good.

JLH thread!

Evolution of a hipster. Goth>Neo Punk>Emo>Hipster

Cubansaltyballs: I was stuck in the TSA line at SFO with this dude a few months back. He's a hipster douche and a mediocre actor.

Let me guess, you think Larry the Cable Guy deserves an Oscar, am I right? Tard

I drove through Long Island City > Greenpoint > Williamsburg today.

I wanted to get out & punch every other person in the face.

Oh, how I miss thee days of yore of old Polish yobbos.

are you trying to turn a JGL thread into a beer thread?

Most of what I get from Hipsters is that it must cost a fortune.

Silly Joseph Gordon-Levitt, "Hipster" doesn't have a definition. The Hip which can be defined is not the true Hip.

After Third Rock, I haven't seen any performances of Joseph Gordon-Leavitt's that really impressed me. That if I didn't know who he was would leave me asking who was that guy?

What's he done that should be seen?

(Please don't mention Inception, saw that. Or Treasure Planet.)

I was in a local greasy spoon I sometimes frequent for lunch when a bunch of them walked in. Some of them were wearing scarves even though it was summer here in Alabama. Half of them ordered an off the menu item, telling each other that they just had to order off the menu. One girl asked if it was a chain restaurant, because that somehow mattered to her. This rundown little place in a strip mall couldn't look less like a chain if it tried. The guy she asked kind of blinked for a second, obviously taken back. I don't think anybody had been stupid enough to ask him that before. Luckily this place caters mostly to blue collar workers and rednecks who were all shaking they're heads at what a weird bunch of assholes they were, so I'll doubt they'll be back.

you're right, beer threads far out number jgl threads. and hipster threads outnumber the both combined. just trying to get to get some insight for the hipster love for pbr.

Methinks he doth protest too much.


RoyBatty: What's he done that should be seen?

Havoc, but not for JGL, for Anne Hathaway's copious rack.
