This was the best poll ever. Best written. I didn’t even know I was supposed to be a hater, but, you made me one in three minutes.

A real hipster will never admit to being a hipster, they hate themselves. It’s really sad. I think that’s what makes them new and different from other subcultures like punks, mods, rockers/greasers ’cause they were always proud of their scene. Hipsters also have the level of detachment, like they can’t be truly passionate about things. Life has to be enjoyed in a kitschy ironic way. You can’t dance for real, it has to reference something else and performed with a lack of sincerity.
Well, that’s my opinion based on years of watching the hipster lifestyle develop.
Here’s a fun video:

No Dave, the hipsters are the ones splitting the banana usual order at Mildreds with matching “Love will tear us apart tattoos on their forearms.” The rat-dogs who live in oversized Coach bags are mostly owned by the hipsters’ moms and sisters who shop on Montana Ave. It’s really hard to know who to hate more but I think Im going to have to go with the teacup dogs. At least hipsters don’t poop on the sidewalk.

Aren’t these the same things? I see hipsters in downtown every day with their little dogs.

In spite of being told I have a “hipster ‘do” recently, this is one of the easier polls posted so far. As it’s been said above, those dogs can’t help their size or their dumbass owners.

hipsters have very little to do with age or generation. it is not a “these kids today” anything. i say it, and i’m a “this kid today”

old hipsters are worse since you expect aging hippies to know better.

Thank you, thank you, thank you–

not for hating on the hipster look, but for pointing out the connection between money/class status and the hipster look. No one else seems to pick up on this when talking about hipsters, but it’s the one thing I always think about. I can’t help but notice that the hipster lifestyle is a lifestyle of leisure – I see them around with their friends at all hours (except maybe the morning) and every day. I always wonder whether they hold down jobs. The worst thing is that being a hipster is actually really costly – expensive coffee shops, expensive veggie restaurants, expensive clothing, expensive sunglasses, and expensive hair products. Once you add in rent for a place near other hipsters, … well, it’s way more costly than anything I could afford.

So thank you again for bringing the class issue of these faux-starving artists to light.

My rage knows no bounds with both of these choices. Color me Sophie.
