Well... I'm not one to stereotype people and humans are much more complex than to just be summed up in one word, but I can safely say I am not a huge fan of "hipsters." The ones I see don't just match a few of the qualities I see, but ALL of them. This completely goes against my ideal of against stereotyping people. It scared the hell out of me. I even realized I didn't like these people before I even knew what I hipster was. They can be so mean and they do have an "elitist" attitude that someone previously mentioned.

What I think appealed to me about Hipsters in the first place was that they put, at least ostensibly, a premium on art. There was a militant criteria on artistic integrity.

But like all commercialized sub-cultures image took precedent over substance. You could be snarky, not because you had merit behind you, but because you looked like a Hipster. And everyone knows Hipsters have an interest in the promotion of art, right?

I always wondered why they seemed so pissy. Once upon a time it might have been because of terrible music. Now its just the way you're supposed to be.

This article was pretty great, but the comments are ridiculous. I guess I never knew what Grade A cunts the hipster community could be.

Thats just what most Street Carnage comments are like. Street Carnage is the frathouse version of Vice.

Eh, I don't know. I have a blog that almost no one reads. I posted something on Hipsters once and they came out of the ****ing woodwork to attack the post.

I swear the pseudos just google "hipster" on a daily basis and go with what comes up.

You're probably right but every post on Street Carnage has a bunch of comments and most of them are pointless vulgarity that have nothing to do with the article.

Well thats good to know. At least I won't visit the site any more.
