Finally: Conclusive proof that hipsters live among us

Is posting someone's conversation on the Internet something a hipster would do?

I guess Billy now knows she laughs about spending his money.

- they don't even go to urban outfitters. that's where people who want to dress like them go.

I'm busy enjoying my 15 minutes of blogosphere fame right now. But quickly:

@ original poster: Thanks for the pingback, bro.

@ anon: Names were changed where necessary, of course.

@ anon and town617: I'm not a hipster, so I don't know shit about who shops at UO and who doesn't. I only tell it like it is.

Hipsters are funny.

I can't figure out which I find more obnoxious, the conversation itself, or reporting the conversation with (what seems to be) the aim of exposing these people as poseurs and not bona fide hipsters at all. (I think I'm going to go with the latter as more annoying.)

great scott is a really cool bar/club...it is one of the few bars in Boston not dominated by baseball/football or frat/thug subculture. The fact that "hipsters" and their urban outfitters imitations frequent there, does not make it any less fun, especially on fri nights...

The writer may be influenced by stupid things said by the ladies in the bathroom, but I just have trouble believing that anyone would somehow, in the span of a 5 minute conversation, hit every single hipster stereotype on the nose that way.

I mean come on now:

"Girl #2: I’ve never really listened to them either, honestly. But they’re really super cool right now. If they come back to town, we definitely need to go see them."

No hipster would ever pass up the chance to out snob another hipster on any topic, especially not music.

Now if they were 30 something year old reports trying to sneak back into high school or college for a newspaper piece and to get their first kiss, I could see this conversation taking place.

I posted this conversation because I was so upset by the ridiculous scene that has subsumed the music I enjoy listening to, not because I thought those chicks were hipster-poseurs. But we *are* online, so it's not surprising that people aren't "getting it."

that's conclusive proof that poseurs live among us.

Look at these f&cking hipsters:

I'm not so convinced that the overheard conversation took place between two hipsters... more likely a couple of not-the-brightest-bulb suburban girls who are new to the city and excited to be in what they consider to be a hip bar. Overall I thought the blog post was amusing. And, it is annoying to listen to silly chatter from kids trying so desperately to be cool if you just want to relax at your usual hangout. If you're not accustomed to it, get used to it -- the older you become the more curmudgeonly your attitude toward youngsters may become.

The most amazing thing I find about this post is that Great Scott was there over 30 years ago when I was in college and it's considered "hip."

Exactly what defines a hipster? When I think of hipsters, I think of the guys I see at City Feed in JP wearing womens jeans, white knee socks, and army-issued eye glasses (need for same not apparent), and drinking expensive coffee. Possibly wearing a skate board helmet as well and looking extremely un-washed. A key quality for hipsterism for me is that their appearance has to be such that I cannot conceive of a proffession in which they could be employed besides courrier or DJ, yet they demonstrate enough material wealth that they have to be holding down a good job. Am I on my own here?
