Here's my synopsis: Everything they ever needed was given to them on a silver platter, resulting in responses to them from peers-People became jealous, gave them flack, resulting in them acting and dressing the way they did-Either to make them more jealous or to blend in with the middle class, by looking broke when they're far from it. All the kids these days are wannabes that had a strong envy of these peoples style/lifestyle/perceived status etc.
I'll note that this video sucked. The poster obviously doesn't know any Hipsters personally-He just knows trendy white people of whom he may have met in brief encounters.
@jameskchou That's not even true, though. There are trendy people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds-According to your definition, 60% of America are Hipsters. Everybody follows trends. TRUE Hipster is a Jewish trust fund baby probably in there mid 30's by now, artists, that were sent to Brooklyn NY, SOHO, Lower east side etc. Somewhere, new, upcoming and/or trendy in the late 90's-early 2000's.
Hipsters try to mimick the generation that HAD to buy thrift because the economy began to crash in the late 80's 90's. Things are bad economically now, but it's been a slow dive.
The hipsters are the kids who saw their older siblings/ older kids becoming more alienated and disturbed. Like any child, they tried to emulate older kids but didn't really understand their lives.The kids of the late '90/00s shallowness is from parental neglect+material guilt gifting.
This video is a strawman argument. You built a ridiculous platform the fight against via your "Like Yeah" mindless and incoherent representation of hipsters in general, then give yourself cute little claps and applause in the background for everything you say.
Instead of judging people from a societal point of view, why not sack up, get a camcorder, and make a Real video of you talking to a "hipster".
Probably because the flow of the conversation won't go like you you've planned...
I have to say this is all very educational - comments included!
Don't think I've sighted any hipsters yet in my town, but haven't been around the west-end/university area for ages. But then, I failed to spot when scruffy retro-70s morphed into grunge and goth devolved into emo, so I probably just failed to notice that what LOOKS like '80s retread (to an old fart like me) is at heart a vegan/trustafarian mashup. But like yeah like yeah, I'll be listening out from now on.
@jistaface Same here, I had a hard time with the branding in the 80s/90s but this has become too blatant of a travesty to ignor.
How to spot a Hipster: basically, if you see a ghost of yourself from your younger years only much spiffier,looking like a mannequin or a movie remake, that's a Hipster, especially if the person is talking really loudly so everyone can hear their meaningful and indivdualistic statements.
The term Emo' was coined in the early 2000s.Before then, in the mid-late 90s the term was Goth and very specific to a rare and specific type of truly distressed indiviual with 'weird' interests and fashion choices.Slowly kids began to copy eachother and it became comodified and sold as a 'look' in the late 90s. Hipsters wanted to have lots of different ways to 'put on' the skin of 'deep' and 'emotional' so it bacame a general term for moodily 'weird' aesthetic.
kids i've known who were "hipsters" fit that mold of upper middle-class white kids who liked to drop lots of obscure names and artistic concepts. while they were in college, they purposely lived in tenements so they could be "one of the poor people." but the fact is that choosing to be poor is a lot different than being systematically poor. they had no understanding of the difference between white-collar white culture and blue-collar white culture.
@DrJuice1 they just assumed that if you're white then you grew up the same as they did (in a single home in the suburbs loaded down with luxuries and going to school with other rich snobs). the kids i knew always talked about the evil deeds of the governments -- which i don't dispute -- but they treated everyone else around them like trash. how can you say "i want to make the world a better place for oppressed people!" when you can't even be nice to those around you?
did he say "free bro-hemian"?
haha, awesome.

@MsCamcas There wont be Emos left in 3 years. They will all turn into wannabe Hipsters, then there will be a new trend for them to bandwagon onto.
