Soup, why do you keep pedastalizing them and say we are jealous or should figure them out?

You say you hate hipsters. Then you persist that I'm a hipster. Logic would dictate that you then hate me.

I don't want you to hate me, and I also don't want guys to get the wrong idea of where I'm coming from. You also lie and say I don't have a job.

There is something to it with the right type of girl. I remember when I got those retro eyeglass frames and went into a guitar shop I frequent, a cute girl who worked there noticed them and complimented me on them. Unfortunately I was not game-aware at the time and did not capitalize.

These are girls who are into music, art, and stuff like that. Usually with glasses (prob fake) and put on a slightly gothic vibe.

I hate hipsters, but to play along, what could we learn from them?

Off the top of my head, I'd say how to be non-reactive.

A lot of guys are over-reactive. This looks bad to girls because it seems like they're not holding their own frame, lack self-confidence, are nervous, and are looking for approval.

If you're non-reactive you're no longer being dictated to by your environment. A girl could try to make fun of you (shit test), but if you don't show any physical response, her joke fizzles.

Hipsters seem to be pretty non-reactive. They can take this to the extreme, though.

Hipster guys are the only people I know aside from FOB foreigners who, if you casually say "what's up" or "how's it going" will look you straight in the eye and say nothing.

Autistic children and robots are also non-reactive. I wouldn't take it too far, you also want to bring fun and energy into girls lives.

It's all a status war.

A lot that style also comes from rockabilly/psychobilly punk scene from the 1990s bands like rev horton heat and butthole surfers. This is where you get the biker hipster look with handle moustaches and 1950s plaid short hair look. Chain wallets, tattooed "pin-up" bad girls in the style of Betty Page. Roots music and bluegrass revival.

It's all Tarantino post-modernism cartoon shit.

My proof is in all the stuff I post. Any guy here can go out and try things I'm experimenting with. I don't need to be "verified" or whatever.

Oh, I didn't know that I figured all the NYC guys were hanging out. I would go as far to say they were meeting up before it was mainstream here.

This makes sense ...

Quote:Quote:

We’ve all heard this idea that “hipster has lost all meaning” and “we don’t really know what a hipster is,” but come on, we know what they are. It’s the guy at the party who is trying so hard to be cool it’s physically painful to watch, and won’t stop talking about the film project he’s working on and all the people he saw at this other, presumably cooler, party the other night. The conversation (monologue) will last a good twenty or so minutes until he rides off into the sunset on his bicycle, rarely to be heard from again. We know these people, we see them every day, we watch them post the pictures that they took on a film camera, printed out, and then scanned to put on their Facebooks/blogs (because they need 3-step processes to fully encompass how much of a tool they are). They are individuals, and yet they’re all the same person. The girls, waify and distressed looking, wearing the kind of outfit that you imagine a heroin addict would put on if told to go to a fancy party and smile really big. The guys, in some combination of bespoke suits your grandfather would wear and things left over from the skate park that closed last year. And smoking, always smoking.

So we know what they are. But my question, and it’s one that troubles me deeply, is how the hell do they afford this lifestyle? I mean, let’s be honest, out of a hundred hipsters that refer to themselves as “photographers” and have Tumblrs full of pictures of homeless peoples’ shoes, a maximum of three of them have ever actually sold a piece, let alone at a decent price. Logistically speaking, and especially in an economic climate like this one, it is just unfeasible that such a kind of person would exist — let alone en masse. How strange, a cultural movement based on imaginary jobs, affected personalities, and expensive bicycles. Hipsters are truly the fops of the 21st century, only in a society that doesn’t allow for an entire class of people who are the human equivalent of marshmallow fluff.

I have had so many conversations with people I consider hipsters — let’s be honest, with people who, in the resigned moments of self-reflection, admit that they themselves are hipsters — about how expensive living in cities can be. Rent, food, clothes, everything is an exercise in Jenga-like budget and balancing. And they, without a trace of irony, will tell me that they don’t shop at “nice” or “expensive” stores, only “normal” ones like Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, and the like. Perhaps there is some society-wide joke I am missing out on, but as a 23-year-old, those stores are the definition of expensive. Sure, they’re not designer-level expensive, but it’s 40 dollars for a shirt and all you can be assured of is that the quality will be relatively shoddy. They are disposable, trend-driven clothes that should have the one-time-use price points of Forever 21, but because of some misplaced notion of “cool” bestowed upon them by hordes of unwashed white people, they have somehow become something so much more.

And rents, in a similar vein, seem to be in a similar vortex of illusion. Apartments, lofts, spacious abodes in big cities are shared by a few hipsters whose collective income — from all outside perspective — could not break the 1,000 dollar-a-month mark. Of course, it is the pinnacle of rude behavior to inquire as to how they pay for this, how much money they make, what the actual source of their income is, or how long they plan on trying to break into the film industry, so one is just left to wonder.

Of course, to some degree, we all know the answer. Pampered people who were raised in a culture of participation ribbons and being told that they were special, funded by parents who would cut 50,000 dollar-a-year checks so their children could “find themselves” at liberal arts school were bound to create monsters. You have a bunch of children told all of their lives that they were “special” — never, of course, clarifying that one has to earn the term “special,” that we no longer believe in divine mandate — and now they are spit into the world that demands hard, often unrewarding work. Nose to the grindstone stuff. And of course, there are probably a lot of exasperated white parents in cardigans subsidizing a lot of this behavior, these apartments, those clothes. There is a lot of hoping that the children will hit their early thirties and have some kind of revelation and become a productive, valuable member of society. And I will freely admit, when I was working days at a cafe and nights babysitting so I could avoid taking out loans, and would visit people’s Wes Anderson-directed lofts in the big city, I would get incredibly jealous. I wished I could effortlessly live a life that must, in some other plane of reality, cost an incredible amount of money. But that jealousy was fleeting, and so, I would imagine, is their lifestyle.[quote]

Hipsters seem to be pretty non-reactive. They can take this to the extreme, though.

Study their body language sometime. They're performing for an audience. They're aping non-reactiveness to look cool out of fear of being socially-ostracised. The reality is they're socially-awkward and uninteresting people, who can't risk showing genuine passion for anything in case it's judged as 'lame'.

This is why props are so important to them: the stupid canes, old bikes, the typewriters, the lumberjack beards, the tattoos. They are voids who use these things as substitute for personality, believing it makes them interesting. They only exist via how others view them. They're classic narcissists.

Given their pose of snobbery, they're oddly easily-impressed by what is simply poor-quality, immature art, possibly because lowering standards would then allow them to partake in its creation. Their unreactiveness is why they make such purile art: there's no artistic passion driving them other than being perceived by others as an artist, and, as such, they have nothing genuine or of interst to say. They've turned modern literature and independent music into underreaching solipsism.

That being said, exactly the same thing was happening back in my day. Hipsters aren't new, but simply the props and labelling are. There's always a 'children of white privilege' undercurrent behind it. In Sydney, in the 80's, we used to label them 'North Shore Kids', (Sydney's north shore being very affluent). They'd come and play bohemian in Darlinghurst or Surry Hills, and make the shittiest, self-congratulatory, insular music, which people would pretend to think was brilliant so others would realise they were smart enough to 'get it'. Back then their heroin habits were funded by their parents, but I don't think modern hipsters would be rebellious enough to actually risk becoming a junkie.

Soup one question.

Can you take a joke?

I'm with the hipster haters. Bunch of fucking fags. For example, look at this fucking jerkoff in his "ironic" T shirt and cardigan:

(EDIT: DELETING IMAGES)

Here's the same pussy in a cream scarf from someone's dead grandfather, and fucking tight green pants:



And again, in a "vintage" T shirt from a city he's never been to:



WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE DRESS THAT WAY AND BEHAVE THAT WAY IF THEY WEREN'T A COMPLETE PUSSY?

I got two replies:

1) If you are serious, you are correct. The guy looks like he's 40 and refuses to grow up. Counter-culture is cool when you're a teenager (15-18) but when you start to mature, you'll realize life isn't about looking/acting like a fag and partying all night. I wonder if he'll act the same when he's 50.

2) If you're being "ironic" then you're being mainstream

Are you jealous of this guy who clearly has control over women? Who cares if he's older?

Go "Be a man" with your MGTOW alpha stuff. Real alpha is controlling reproduction by being able to spread your seed far and wide.

Your complaints sound like distended labias flapping in the wind.

What's lamer than a thread on a player's forum filled with guys who can't recognize wolves-in-sheeps-clothing players dressing like hipsters to get tribal infiltration and then slaying pussy like crazy.

Relax! I was just commenting on the photos. But I guess I will play your little game.

I do. I see older men as wise, mature, and spiritual people. They are supposed to be the guides for the next generation. However, more guys are turning out like this douche and this forum is wondering why there are very little men in the world.

A donkey saw its shadow. It was humongous! Naturally, the donkey thought himself so and walked past a lion, arrogantly. The lion devoured the foolish creature.

You hipsters are gonna grow up one day...
