I went to this party at a club, I didn’t really know anyone, but the boy was dj’ing, so I tagged along. The place was chock full of hipsters. Dirty looking, asymmetrical haired, metallic legging wearing hipsters with big stupid glasses. I can understand trying to be fashion forward, but if all you are doing is going thrift stores and digging around in your parent’s basements for things you wore in the early 90s and looking for the ugliest shit, that is not fashion. That is fucking ugly. This is fucking ugly:

Getting wasted before you go to the club because you are too cheap to actually spend money or going up the bar and asking, “What’s the cheapest beer you have?”, just plain tacky.

The expensive art school education you parents are paying for is going to waste because you are too busy worrying about getting photo blogged when you go out next.

Or even worse, video blogged! You know because there is nothing better to do or more important than documenting each and every single move that party goers make. THAT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE.
I could totally call out a bunch of shit here in my city right about now, but I am not quite ready to out myself. I kind of like the semi-anonymity I have going for the moment, but I can tell you, the time will come soon. In fact, I’m sure if some people read this, they’d know exactly who I am, but for now, I’ll leave it be.
In due time though.
In due time.

seriously, since when is it okay for guys to wear MORE makeup than me to the bar? And Pabst? I get the joke, and its okay if you’re out on a boat in the summertime. But please, bars and restaurants should not stalk that as a rule!
But that camera is gorgeous, or should i say the lens on the camera. WANT!
I just don’t understand why anyone would go into a nice club and ask for a cheapy beer! You’re in a nice place, you should be willing to cough up a little more and get something good.
haha, I just picked a random camera from google images. I know nothing about them!
I totally agree, those guys look like crap. I don’t see the point at all. And I agree, ordering the cheapest beer possible? Ummm the club shouldn’t even carry it, heck go for a bud at least (and I don’t even drink beer, haha).
i’m with tiff. why are those guys wearing more make-up than i have on right now? oh the humanity!
Oh man, those boys are just entirely too sexy for words with their super tight girl pants and guy-liner and weirdly waxed hair.
The ONLY time I will voluntarily drink PBR is on the bus at the Globe Pub to Chicago Fire games.
That guy on the left looks like a wannabe Cris Angel. And Cris Angel looks like a freak, so there ya go!
Wow. There are no words for that first photo. Guys like that make me stabby. Seriously, LOOK AT YOURSELVES. The only way that photo could be more tragic is if they were wearing a NKOTB shirt. Then it would look EXACTLY like photos of me and my (female) friends from 1991.
Actually, strike that — me and my friends looked way better than that, even in 1991.
I randomly grabbed that photo from the Cobrasnake site, so just picture a room full of people like that!
I have that camera you’ve shown there, in fact. I love it. It lets me take nice pictures, so I can (theoretically–I’ve yet to sell anything) buy the good beer.
Also, to tiff, that lens is the stock 18-25mm kit lens, and it isn’t really all that special. If you’re wanting a nice, versatile lens, go with the 28-200 f/2.8 VR. That’ll be my next lens, anyhow.
Oh looook! A trio of orphans from the year 1990? What the HELL is wrong with people? PBR is mosquito piss, I am sorry for using my naughty words on my first comment here (came from 20 Somethings’ RSS) but, come on? If you’re over 17 and in possesion of working tastebuds? It’s a mistake. Plus…you’d have to drink about a case of that crap to even get a medium buzz. Blech!
In case you couldn’t tell, my town has had a severe outbreak of hipster-ugly-itus. Frickin’ spoiled college kids. The clothes are nothing short of tragic, and while I don’t mind a man in eyeliner, those boys? No.
So at my job we often talk about the Cobra Snake and Last Night’s Party, general hip stuff, and the Chicago scene shit, too. I sometimes feel like I have to defend hipsters as, admittedly, I flirt with the whole thing on a regular basis. It is ridiculous. Out of control. OUT OF CONTROL. Ugly kids who think they’re beautiful in an interesting way but are just plain ol’ ugly and are just totally off because they think they’re being highbrow by being lowbrow. Yeah. No thanks. Trend =/= Style. Some people are more of a convoluted mess than I am. It is true, however, that I’ve been known to drink cheap booze, though in the comforts of my living room when I’m wearing sweat pants. As it should be.
Mon, I can’t even lie. I tend to hang out at a lot of the places these kids hang out with, so some might call me a total hypocrite. I think it’s from being around people like that so often, that drives me to say these kind of things.
Of course, not all hipster kids are like this. I’m mainly just talking about the incredibly douchey, ridiculous looking and acting ones!
Oooh! Are you coming out of the blogging closet?!
I’m glad you posted the picture of the Nikon. I may have thrown up otherwise.
OK, wait. So you’re saying that Pabst Blue Ribbon is not quality beer?
; )
Geez. Makes me glad I don’t go out much, actually.
Those clothes and that hair..so very wrong! Sometimes flashbacks are not so fun….
Thursday’s child - I have the stock 18-55mm lens that comes with the D40, it doesn’t look anything like that!
But I’m definitely in the market for that 28-200mm lens, thanks for the tip!
Oh god. That’s way more makeup than all the years I’ve been wearing makeup put together. Horrifying. They look like ASS. Probably smell like it, too.
Ha! This whole post basically is word for word what I’ve said when going out on Capitol Hill in Seattle. I haven’t lived over there since this summer (and didn’t even move that far) but it’s like a whole other world outside that scene.
I’ll have to tell my boyfriend his camera makes him a hipster. Next, I just have to get him to agree to the asymmetrical haircut.
