Would Somebody Explain Hipsters To Me ?

Did I mention that it's not even that comfortable? Putting your hair in a bun gives you a headache, which makes you irritable. Kudos to women for being able to handle this look that all of a sudden is a new trend for men... for as long as women had long hair... which is basically forever.

Good good.  Let the hate flow through you.

This post just made me vomit in my mouth a bit from the level of hipster they are. I need to get out of this thread... before I punch a hole through my monitor....

I used to be called either Manson or Jesus. I had a lot of hair. I got a lot of chicks. The hair was no problem.

With the bun, I'm not trying to attract the boys. Hate all you want, I know the chicks dig it. That's all that matters.

I used to be called either Manson or Jesus. I had a lot of hair, more than that guy. I got a lot of chicks. The hair was no problem.

There are some women that love short hair and there are women that love long hair and there are hipster girls that love men with hair in buns.

I have pretty long hair. It's about shoulder length... maybe a little lower. Women love it. They put their hands in it and play with it. It's basically like using gummy worms for fishing.

Edit: here is a picture of me in front of my drawing at the show I was a part of in NYC this month for reference.

As you can see, it is long enough to get in the way while I would be working, which... I've learned that the manbun is at least semi-functional.... but as a style to go out in public in... you will never catch a picture of me with a manbun out in public. Not once. Not ever. Not willingly, at least and not if I'm not working.

I just go short hair and clean shaven.  No probs.  Fuck fashion.

I used to have a beard, but looked weird - uniformly brown hair on my head but a beard that was speckled white and red.  Looked bad.  Like Jeff Bridges bad.  Also, prone to painful rashes.  So I shave.

Anyway, I've never had a problem with people who look or act like these hipster people. They remind me of me.

[PickelledEggs]

Nah. They're usually good people. They just look stupid. And transparently wanting to be with the same trends as everyone else is. It gives the impression (to me) that they don't have a personality of their own.... I guess that is the thing that frustrates me. Not the actual look, that it's the lack of personality and originality. They're fucking culture sheep.


The only reason my hair is long is because I kept procrastinating going to get a haircut. My job was a hell-hole when I worked my last retail job and the only day I had off during the week, was the only day that my hair-cutter was off.... so for about a year, I couldn't cut my hair. Eventually I started to like it long and wanted to see how long I could go. I haven't had a haircut in about 2 years now.

Got no idea how to fathom that attitude. I go out in boxer shorts only. I'd go out naked if they'd let me. When I do wear a shirt, it has something to do with Star Wars on it.

I take my garbage cans to the front of the house in solely my underwear on a regular basis... year round. I think, like I said in my last post, it's less about the look and more about how it's that hipsters give the impression that they lack a personality of their own and have no originality. They just copy. It's infuriating. I think that is what bothers me... it's less about the look for me and more about the mindset that they have.

Now we're getting somewhere. How original are you?

That is a cool record player. I've got some nice vintage portables saved on Pinterest. I've got a new retro portable pinned to my wish list.

Pinterest is a den of iniquity.  Every time I'm browsing images, bam, popup login wall.  Pure evil.

[gentle_dissident]

Seriously, I don't get it.

We've determined that they are old fashioned boys with ridiculous facial hair.

[gentle_dissident]

Yea, I didn't link to Pinterest. It's a bizarre nag.

They broke the mold when they made me, buddy boy. ;)

So...

-I drive a stick shift just because it's old-fashioned and that appeals to me.
-I have my haircut in the modern take on the classic men's haircut with the short side, long top because it appeals to me and looks good on me. When I had long hair I almost always wore it in a bun because it was comfortable and kept it out of my face.
-I wear a full beard because it appeals to me and it looks hella good on me.
-I spend alot of time in coffee houses, and no it really doesn't cost that much to get a $2.00 tea and sit there all day drawing or reading, or waiting for happy hour for a $4.00 pint of a local IPA that's normally more like $9.00 anywhere else.
-I am about to have geometric tattoos because they appeal to me and (I hope) will look good on me.
-I listen to some really eccentric music; from Chillstep to classical to Appalachian country to Mississipi Delta blues to Mongolian traditional to Armenian/Greek rock... I just like music of all genres.
-Likewise, I own a bunch of records because they are cool.
-I wear other culture's clothing because fuck it, it looks cool and I want to. If it is something that would be offensive to the culture then yeah I am not going to do it, like if it's something sacred... but by god, my favourite pieces of clothing are a traditional Native American poncho/hoody combo I bought in Navajo country and a "Peasant shirt" from New Mexico.

I am by most definitions a hipster, but I will be honest... I don't know if I have a single hipster friend. I really don't give a shit about trying to fit into that group, it's just how I enjoy dressing and maintaining my body, and most "hipsters" I know are similar. I think the people who hate hipsters give them far too much credit of being some organized group instead of just, "Oh, this looks cool and looks good on me so I am going to do it."
