Why Are Hipsters Fat Or Really Skinny?

Do hipsters even lift? I'm not even trying to joke... why do hardcore hipsters always have pancake arms? and a look of deepness with empty water eyes? i think all that hatred and judging of ''how mainstream'' an artist has gotten turn into calories. I also think reading pitchfork and buzzfeed does the same.

But, i think the hatred all turns to calories and fat. I hope one day they can learn... to stop with the hate... learn to love again. And learn to work those pancake arms for something other than trying to play shitty DJ instruments. That does not count as a bicept workout! you beard having, Radiohead & Neutral Milk Hotel worhsiping hippy.

because hipsters, in their nauseating pseudo-intellectualism, avoid exercise as a non-intellectual activity; ergo, they're all fat or skinny...

Deadspin used to have a regular feature called "Look at These F***ing Hipsters". Apparently it was a hipster thing to wear basketball jersies of obscure 80's and 90's NBA players.

Actually, most of the hipsters in those pictures didn't look un-athletic, so maybe there are a few hipsters that can chew gum and walk at the same time, or lift 50% of their body weight.

Since I live in one of the original hipster capitols of the world, I would say that the most I see are thin to in shape and few are out of shape.

From the Urban dictionary wink



hipster

Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter. The greatest concentrations of hipsters can be found living in the Williamsburg, Wicker Park, and Mission District neighborhoods of major cosmopolitan centers such as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco respectively. Although "hipsterism" is really a state of mind,it is also often intertwined with distinct fashion sensibilities. Hipsters reject the culturally-ignorant attitudes of mainstream consumers, and are often be seen wearing vintage and thrift store inspired fashions, tight-fitting jeans, old-school sneakers, and sometimes thick rimmed glasses.



Both hipster men and women sport similar androgynous hair styles that include combinations of messy shag cuts and asymmetric side-swept bangs. Such styles are often associated with the work of creative stylists at urban salons, and are usually too "edgy" for the culturally-sheltered mainstream consumer. The "effortless cool" urban bohemian look of a hipster is exemplified in Urban Outfitters and American Apparel ads which cater towards the hipster demographic. Despite misconceptions based on their aesthetic tastes, hipsters tend to be well educated and often have liberal arts degrees, or degrees in maths and sciences, which also require certain creative analytical thinking abilities.

One of my nephews is an acerbic hipster. I finally got tired of his smart-aleckness and told him, "You're pretty cocksure for a kid that's wearing Prince's hairdo from 1984".

He spent the rest of the night trying to figure out if that was good irony or bad irony, LOL.

Hipsters smell like unwashed clothes. I genuinely hate taking the L train to Brooklyn because it's full of hipsters that don't seem to know what laundry detergent (or aren't familiar with what washing one's clothes) is.

Hipsters love them some Purple Rain. A couple of years ago, the 92nd St Y was screening Purple Rain. It was me, my guy, and a bunch of hipsters who likely weren't even born in 1984 and they knew EVERY SINGLE LINE!!

The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

It sort of does. It's pretty much the exact hairstyle but without curls. And it was NOT the look he was going for, LOL.

I don't have any current pictures of him. sad

I'm not sure they really exist.

Has anyone here ever met a self-identified hipster?

Like, "That's right I am a hipster, let me tell you what is currently hip vs. square. I have my ironic Mr. Bubble t-shirt which is two sizes too small, my acid washed jeans from the 90s and my scraggly beard, which are listed in HIP Magazine this month as on the Do list. Last week I was a vegetarian, but the rules were updated on Monday allowing me to eat meat as long as it is organ meat, so I get my lunch of kidneys and gizzards, Asian Fusion style, at a popular lunch truck. I no longer listen to dubstep as that is too strongly identified with 2011; right now I am appreciating the resurgence of interest in 1930s German expressionism and learning the ballroom dance styles of the Weimar period."

But seriously, a true hipster would never admit to being a hipster.

^^ But why not? When I was a punk rocker, we would constantly argue about "what does it mean to be punk"? We rarely reached consensus, but we were willing to admit that yes, we were punkers. Arguing over what it meant was fun, kept us on our toes.

The only people talking about hipster attributes seem to be, the people who want to make fun of hipsters.

I don't know. All I know is my hipster friends* would never call themselves hipsters. Maybe inside they know they are, but I don't think they would openly admit it. shrug





*Who do not live in Brooklyn or smell like unwashed clothes. lol
