    Quoted from Chudmeat:

    Which is worse: hipster or emo?

    IMO, most emo kids eventually turn into hipsters.

    Quoted from ENDOFLINE:

    im friends with a few "hipster" types.... most of them are pretty cool.
    but there are the elite few hipsters i tend to call RECORD SNOBS. they collect everything rare, obscure, 12 inch records, 7 inches, imports, colored vinyl. oh, they will also make sure to tell you how MUCH they know about those obscure bands and how LITTLE you know
    seems like right now the hipster trends are moustaches, old skinny jeans cutoff into shorts, raybans, greasy dirty hair, that whole "i really dont care" look.

    You got it.

    One item you forgot to mention: NO hipster would ever call himself a hipster!

    Quoted from TheLaw:

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

    Becasue no hipster thinks they are a hipster.

    Right- because hipsters are all SOOO unique and independent thinkers ... right?

    Quoted from ENDOFLINE:

    what's a foodie??

    A food snob.

    "I only eat vegan, vegetarian, grass-fed, artisan, kosher, organic food." <- thats the annoying type

    I consider myself a psuedo-foodie. That just means that I like to try new and different foods. I try not to eat at chain restaurants. My favorite part of travelling is eating local cuisine.

    Like any generalization, there are a wide variety of 'foodies'

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    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.

    +1

    Though, I don't think they are all bad. But, those that take it to the extreme that TheLaw describes ... pathetic

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    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.

    Hahaha, yup!

    Quoted from ENDOFLINE:

    ahhh... got it. thanks for the info.

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

    *GASP* Oh, the humanity!!!!!

    Quoted from davewtf:

    I don't have any problem with hipsters or any other part of subculture. I only take issue with those that look down on me because i don't conform to what they like. I guess kinda like some of you are hacking on hipsters for doing what they do. Whatever that is...
    I'm not a hipster despite the glasses.

    You're right. I really don't have a problem with them either- until they start to turn their nose up at me. My posts only reflect my feelings toward those.

    My best buddy is a hipster (not if you ask him) and he's the best kind.

    Like all stereotyped groups, it's the extremes that get focused on.

    The more pinball fans, the better!

    Quoted from PinballShawn:

    I always went against the grain. You can be that way and not be a douche about it.
