I mean, yeah most people don't really give a fuck and they shouldn't because of how musically non-engaging the genre has been since the beginning. But it's unfortunately still alive among the hipster community. Really hoping these kind of losers die out with Trump's presidency hopefully signifying that we are sick of lazy pretentious nerds that wear thick rimmed glasses who complain about their first world problems.

“Hipster” is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else’s authenticity into question and, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself.
It serves no conversational function and imparts no information, save for indicating the opinions and preferences of the speaker.
Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural bogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you’ve probably sensed the pattern on your own).
You can’t define what “that kind of behavior or fashion or lifestyle” actually is, nor will you ever be able to. That’s because you don’t use “hipster” to describe an actual group of people, but to describe a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you.
The twist, of course, is that if it weren’t for your own insecurities, nothing that a “hipster” could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally. But you are insecure about your own authenticity - “Do I wear what I wear because I want to? Do I listen to my music because I truly like it? I’m certainly not like those filthy hipsters!” - so you project those feelings.
Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as a hipster; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the authentic Us from the inauthentic, “ironic” Them.
tl;dr: if you believe hipsters exist, you are a plebeian.

all the people you're trying to describe that I've met all drink nothing but kombucha, wear bright colors, are all really outgoing, and are very averse to 4chan
see how conjecture isn't a definition?

>>73377082
The people that come closest to what you're trying to describe that I've met all live in urban areas and drink IPAs and are very health conscious

There is no consensus on the word hipster and there hasn't been in decades, it is the greatest strawman of our time.

>>73377135
Nah, that's the opposite end of them with obnoxious colored everything with obnoxious takes on extroverted personalities. Both aren't very different from each other, and are two different takes on ultimately the same beta as fuck deadbeat losers. Such ppl along with the lazy blacks and rednecks are leeches to my great country. Everything related to them should at least be erased from this country, if not existence itself.

>>73377166
Then they aren't who I am describing, am I?

>>73377082
Reading this makes me feel like I teleported back to 2006

>>73377202
Dont diss the rednecks you have more in common with them ideologically than you think

>>73377217
They're both groups erroneously called hipsters by people who are the target audience of that copypasta so yes

>>73377226
Hipsters do love wearing old ass shit and using old ass shit. So not surprising.
>>73377230
Rednecks have false delusions of racial superiority when they are just as bad.
>>73377246
Sounds like I am not playing the rules of the lazily written pretentious..."hipster" copypasta then.

Reread this until it registers
