Rurik Harrgath Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I read an article somewhere recently that talked of how facial hair follicle implants are the newest craze among twenty-somethings. It largely based this on the hipster movement but it was still a good chuckle for me. 1 Quote [Level ??] Rurik, the Thunderer Class: Stormborn War-Shaman (Path of Giants Barbarian/Conquest Paladin/Elemental Domain Cleric) BRUTALITY 11 | FINESSE 10 | VIGOR 11 | INSIGHT 14 | WILL 13 Equipment: Studded leather armor, war club, plus adventurer's pack containing rations, rope, and nature-based potions.

Rurik Harrgath Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Unfortunately I've been called a hipster a lot. It frustrates me to no end. I can't help it that my love of beards, plaid, and craft beer is trendy. I've actually chopped down a tree or two with an axe and chainsaw in my day though, so my manly ruggedness isn't a fad or an irony. It beats being compared to Duck Dynasty any day though! 4 Quote [Level ??] Rurik, the Thunderer Class: Stormborn War-Shaman (Path of Giants Barbarian/Conquest Paladin/Elemental Domain Cleric) BRUTALITY 11 | FINESSE 10 | VIGOR 11 | INSIGHT 14 | WILL 13 Equipment: Studded leather armor, war club, plus adventurer's pack containing rations, rope, and nature-based potions.

I've actually chopped down a tree or two with an axe and chainsaw in my day though, so my manly ruggedness isn't a fad or an irony.It beats being compared to Duck Dynasty any day though!People who call you a hipster for having wearing a beard with plaid have never meet a real hipster.Real hipsters do atrocious and obnoxious things with their facial hair and clothing (which beard + plaid is not atrocious, it's classic) because they have no real sense of style and just want to set the next trend so they can smugly say "I was doing it before it was cool." And when they fail in this quest, they shrug it off as irony.And damn it, I only drink PBR cuz tallboys are $2.00 from 9-close and by then I'm already to trashed to appreciate the fine craft beers on tap so why spend another three dollars!Maybe I'm in denial...[placeholder for gif of Al from home improvement]#hipsterdenial#pbr Quote ===================================================================================================== --Stronkey Kong-- Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Everyone calls me a hipster every time I dirnk PBR. It has happened to me at almost every nerd event. It always makes me laugh, because I started dirnking it for a totally different reason. It was my granddfather's beer, so it's a nastalgia sort of thing. I do like it and have stuck to it as my high quantity, easy drinking beer. Maybe I am a hipster, because I want nothing more than to rock the friendly muttonchops. My wife won't go for it though. 3 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

virtualmonkey Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 This current discussion makes me happy to live in the south. Beards, tattoos, and guns just mean people leave you be in public. My wife doesn't care that I don't wear a wedding ring, because seriously who wants to talk to me unless they have too. There's nothing about me that's a hipster, where I live skinny jeans are the pair you've had for 10 years you think you might fit into one day.

Waldo Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Huh, never been accused of being a hipster. Then again, that is more of a millennial or gen Y problem, being a gen x'er pretty much precludes you from being a hipster; I'm just old, lol.

Stronkey Kong Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hipsters have been around much longer than the millenials. "The White Negro" -- Norman Mailer 1957 And he wasn't the first to use the term. The Millenials have their own way of doing it, but the same type of culture has been a part of every single generation. Priveleged, often wealthy, and (at least historically) mostly white kids who rebelled against middle class values by pretending to partake superficially in the struggles of underpriveleged groups through their music, art, and fashion, often resulting in obnoxious, pretentious and smug behavior. Often times the styles catch on as trends of the era so some feel justified by defining some part of a generation. Hepcats, beatniks, hippies, punks (not all punks, but a certain subset for sure)... I think in generation X the term slipped away. But I can definitely see the hipster in the indie rock scene of the 80's and the ravers of the 90's.
