Why do people hate HIPSTERS?

[Cappuccino]

Why? Nothing wrong with them IMO. I have couple of hipster friends, but they don't seem to be dicks... >_<

However, majority of people hate hipsters?

Why? :hmm:

It's outdated, but I think now it's the steampunk nerds with monacles (the freaks that think Tesla was God) that rule the hipster world :awe:

[Puppies04]

I'm the majority of people and I don't hate hipsters.

 

[blurredvision]

I don't even know WTF a hipster is supposed to be, but a lot of people sure do hate them. I would suspect they don't know either...

 

[phucheneh]

Because being trendy is annoying, and thinking your trendiness is unique is face-punchingly annoying.

 

[BlitzPuppet]

Same reason why people thought hippies, emos, and punks were annoying.

 

[IronWing]

The only person I know who meets ATOT's interpretation of "hipster" is a guy in his mid-50s. I don't hate him.

Let me help you with that:

[Ayah]

I don't, usually end up ignoring trends.

Let me help you with that:

Look like normal young people to me.

Exactly...they need to BURN! :twisted:

Those things all have some shades of hipster, but they're not hipster. Most of us are going to happen to share some things in common with these tools, but it doesn't necessarily make someone 'one of them.'

The buddy holly pipe-smoker pretty much epitomizes hipster to me. A couple of those are completely wrong, though. The white trash thing is not hipster at all; that was 'mainstream' cool. When you say 'hipster,' I don't think of Britney Spears and Ashton Kutcher.

Hipster has a very broad definition that changes from person to person. So its easy for most people to hate. Especially the neckbeards, manlets and basement dwellers that frequent this forum

People thinking they're different yet acting and looking the way everyone else does is retarded. If they didn't think they were different and better than you it wouldn't matter.

I don't hate hipsters. I have this new emotion to describe them. You've probably never heard of it.

Jamais vu.

They claim they are not affected by style or trends - they are just being who they are - yet they are nuthugging the other hipsters so hard "trying to be different" that they all end up looking exactly the same.

 

[Thebobo]

I dont

The South Park about the emos nailed it. If you don't want to be a conformist, you have to dress exactly like me.

 

[cheezy321]

Its ok to say all hipsters look the same.

You say the same thing about asians?

Hipsters are just the latest wave of trend-followers.
They're just as bad as every trend follower before them, and after them.
Except, they're probably more antisocial than any subculture that came before, and have even more of a superiority complex.

Also they think they are "unique", unfortunately little do they know unique doesn't = useful.

 

[Murloc]

There are very few that look like hipsters here so I don't care. I can see how someone being arrogant about being original when he isn't can make people nervous though. Superiority complex etc.
but that's the stereotype, in reality I don't know any.

 

[Schfifty Five]

I'm sure a lot of people who hate hipsters think of them as leeches on society. Or maybe not so much leeches but just people who don't really contribute anything.

They conjure up images of guys with nerdy glasses, super skinny jeans, sitting in a coffee shop doing their "work" which is blogging about coffee shops or writing a play, etc. They only eat organic food, drink $10 latte's, and won't support any mainstream thing.

This.

I'd been thinking it was just the noob-fangled word for hippies until I realized they wouldn't know what a hippie was either without watching the History Channel.
