i have mixed feeling about the skinny jean brigade that swamp parts of london.

on one hand i want to pull them aside and ask, "you genuienly believe that you are a unique, special, fascinating, artistic individual, don't you, you twat?"

but on the other, I want to praise them for being unique, special looking, individual and probably artistic!

what i do hate though is a sneery attitude to anything "main stream" as if if you don't ware eighties glasses, ONLY listen to underground music, and use words like awesome and random then you;re some kind of brainwashed mainstream saddo.

cheers. my thoughts on hackney hipsters.

I'm laid back about them really... there seemed to be plenty of them hanging around being terribly cool in Hackney the other week when I had a mooch around. Made me feel pretty conservatively/boringly dressed.

Got to ask tho - just what the fucks that huge spectacle frame thing all about?!

Just started living in this area. Crikey. If I don't change out of my dishevelled office clothes after work people seem to think i'm making a statement.

A nice Aussie piss take of their own snoreditch dullston scene.

Speaking as a Hackney borough resident, I have no problem with young people wearing 'bizarre' fashions. I find it interesting to see whether I think it looks a bit odd or not and it's better than being boring.

It's all part of growing up innit?!

Finally. People it is socially acceptable to hate

I'm annoyed that they put my picture up on that site tbh

Is it just me or is it only in the past few months that people have been describing them as "hipsters"?

 

[rutabowa]

pretty funny.... wait i don't count as one do i?

it is an americanism of quite a few years.

Yes rutabowa, I believe the term has been around since the 50s, maybe even earlier than that.

 

[fredfelt]

does exactly what it says on the ...'s' automatically looses any style stand off.

 

[rutabowa]

i think it has only been used to describe these kind of people over the last 5 -6 years or so though? starting in Wlliamsburg, Brooklyn.

I haven't been aware of people using it here regularly until quite recently. I remember seeing someone using it on here and thinking oh well that's just because they are quite old, but then everyone started using it. Previously I'd thought of it as the kind of word people might have used in the 60s.

 

[rutabowa]

yep you're right.

yeah, the official term used to be shoreditch twat, thanks to shoreditch twat zine

thing is not only has the term 'hipster' come from the US but the whole look + scene has come wholesale from New York i reckon (ive never been to NY so maybe someone could fill us in). Electroclash, The Strokes, HarMar Superstar were the mainstream tips of the NY iceberg to hit the UK i think its fair to say. Fixies from NY bike couriers and so on...

Yeah I think it's very funny. Apparently there is even more Mumford flooding over there than here.

Oh, and whats Mumford?

 

[flypanam]

As for mumford it's mumford and sons. A shite band from south london who have been linked with hipsterism.

I hate that pub

I was really tempted to mug a total fucking idiot in that pub who was shovelling coke up his nose by the wash basin in the loo and waffling on about how great it was to have loads of money at his time of life.

 

[ska invita]

- mugging mugs - all makes sense now ta

Really? I doubt that any self respecting hipster would be linked to a psuedo folk christian band.

More about the edgy stuff, shurely or obscure bands that are sooo cool they haven't even been invented yet. Chart toppers Mumford and Sons? Hardly!
