    "Hipster" is just the newest in a long line of terms that act as a "catch all" for a certain type of "look," or fashion.

    It's so over used at this point it is pointless. "Hey, look at those guys drinking PBR...wow hipsters!"
    Makes no sense.

    The Term has been around since the 50s i believe...I think it may be a Jack karowack thing but I'm not a reader. It's been molded into whatever people want to use it for now.

    Quoted from GoneFishinLvMsg:

    Guess I'm not very hip.

    Not true, you're probably just really old

    Quoted from JWS64:

    called First Born, with Teri Garr, Corey Haim and another kid.

    Christopher Collet....that kid had at all. Rockin' parties with booze, coke, and pinballs!

    Quoted from Chudmeat:

    Which is worse: hipster or emo?

    Neither is "worse" or "better." If you were to infiltrate a group of 30 years old at a dive bar drinking PBR, you would wait until a group of other hoodie wearing, beard having, glasses wearing group to walk in the door, and the group you were in would say "Oh jesus look, a bunch of hipsters." (the seond group might actually show you are anywhere located in Chicago).

    But To me Emo is another made up term, but I'm saying Emo are younger kids that grow up into hipsters.

    Quoted from tonymiddendorf:

    NO hipster would ever call himself a hipster!

    Becasue no hipster thinks they are a hipster.

    I think tight jeans were an Emo thing...not hipster...but they probably grew into it. Emo of course coming from the "emo-core" punk rock scene invented by Ian McKaye. Which of course made absolutly no sense to begin with & Ian McKaye hated. What it was made out to be recently was a bunch of whinny little mall punk music which was terrible.
    Just like the hot button term before that was "Goth." Eventhough non of it had to do with real goth music, but more a way of dress.

    It comes in waves.

    Let them live there lives like they want to, no problem there. Now Foodies on the other hand, these F*&^kers are the real enemy

    Foodie is the new douche on the block. Basically all the crap you hear on tv cooking shows.
    They love spending all their money on over priced resturaunts. All "farm fresh" "local" blah blah blah...super clubs, "euorpean size" servings, artisan, hand crafted, "green pork" etc etc. Worst of all the call themselves foodies. You know...like we all don't need food to live.

    We have a resturaunt in my town that serves Pizzas...stay with me here...they have pizzas on the menu but you cannot substitute any items on the pizza, because the "chef" has hand chosen them to play off each other perfectly. IT'S A FU&^$nG PIZZA.

    Yeah of course not all of them are bad...it's always the extremes of any "group" that ruin it for everyone. Do I care that a hipster thinks records are better than CDs? No, plenty of people do and that's fine. Do I need someone 10 years my junior, probably too young to have a record player, telling me "I'm totally missing out on the vinyl sound man there's so much more texture and range in there?" No, it's annoying.

    Quoted from ENDOFLINE:

    so i guess a FOODIE would look down on me for eating a tasty double double and animal style fries?

    If you're not familair with Portlandia, they nail it pretty well
