tmac77 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'm smoking a 1966 ironically I smoked an unbanded LE before it was cool to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfall Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 If I'm reading you correctly, I agree. Within the hipster community, there's a very useful and beneficial sect. Ruling out the poser hipsters and the dead-head hippie ones, are the ones who are bringing back all the old professions and trades. In my neck of the woods, all of the old school butcher shops, barbers, organic farmers, cobblers, etc. are being opened by these guys. All of these skills would go the way of the dinosaur if it wasn't for them. I think that's a different breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainQuintero Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I thought hipsters were just modern day beatnics? Its the hippies who really get stuff done when then get older, set up the wine industry and Silicon Valley in Cali etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion21 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I have family who were hippies and set up shop in Napa/Sonoma. They made it big with wine, but still live like hippies. True hipsters spend more on clothes and accessories than normal people to look alternative. They take up most environmental/animal based causes ASAP. They can also be a great addition to any community, within reason. I think what most people have issue with is how they marginalize and think most "normal" people are shallow consumers who are destroying the earth. Those are the true hipsters. The faux hipsters are the ones who just took on the look because they think it's cool, but don't actually believe in anything. All of the above is true because my brother-in-law, who is a proud hipster, told me so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfall Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 I once farted in a room full of hipsters and watched them fight over who heard it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotonic Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hahahaha that is very funny skyfall. I love this thread Let's not confuse hippies with hipsters. 2 very different beasts. My roommate last year was a hippie. Wore hemp, worked for the Wilderness Society, vegetarian, into open relationships, not tech savvy and really did nothing to be cool to anyone else. Everything a hipster does is not for themselves but rather to gather praise for being original. I love laugh at how they congregate in masses so they can all be different together at the same time.

Habana Mike Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I thought that was the 'baby boomers"??? Baby boomers, born after WWII - makes them around 18-22 when the 60's really got going. I'd have to say the hippies were pretty much a large part of the Boomer generation and vice versa........ ...and my son's a hippie hipster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbeaver Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 "Baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964". Oh crap this hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper. And I love those tie dyed clothes but I think you have to have the beard to pull off that look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patric M Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Hipsters are more the product of Rich baby boomer parents. Who don't need real job and have disposable income to keep up with stupid trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubba Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Isn't a hatred of EL, RE and 50+ rg cigars a little hipster behavior? "I smoked long and skinnies before it was cool" Hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 +10!!! My hippie hipster son discovered them recently and was like 'Wow!' I guess it's also cool for something to be cool again after it was no longer cool ::punk rock:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecrowder Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 One of my favorite things about living in Australia was the absolute lack of hipsters, and yes, I spent a few days in Melbourne. Now I'm in San Francisco...I really miss Australia. The only good news is that burning man starts next week so the hipsters will be away and I can have some peace.
