I understand your annoyance with hipsters has to do with how hypocritical and judgmental they are. And it is so true that it's a fad. Most of them are into it now because it's trendy. I get annoyed myself. And jeezus, are usually they out of shape (i don't mean fat); they hardly ever play sports!

But organic things taste better in general. Starbucks coffee is gross, and they're fraps are just sugar in a cup.

Pabst is gross in general, but it's definitely better than Coor's Light or Budweiser. They're the same to me. I'd rather get a nice Belguim beer of 8-9% alcohol instead.

And them being vegetarians is actually a good thing! Being a vegan or vegetarian can save tons of energy, like literally lifetimes of energy to come. The country would be a lot better if we AT LEAST took in less meat. They also save money and energy riding a bike instead of cars.

I don't mind hipsters that much, because they're efficient, value education and intelligence to some degree, they are (or try) to be artistic and they are completely harmless and non-violent. And the ones who try to be tough, you have nothing to worry about because they're so weak and frail. They do nothing to harm society and if anything, just contribute.

And FYI, hipsters have been around since forever. I remember a bunch of hipsters in New York, when the Strokes were starting out in 2000, and there wasn't a term "hipster" used so fluently around people who weren't hipster. Hipsters have been around even since the 80's in the Joy Division days. In fact they originally come from the 40's — the beatniks and cool cats in the jazz clubs. This isn't new. "Hipster" is just going to find another way to evolve into the new decade just as it as since the beginning of the 20th century. It's simply a counter culture that holds ideals of artistic and intellectual values high.

Hipsters are annoying, and that is because they weren't always hipsters, they only became hipsters when 'individuality' became 'trendy'. The kids who were individual beforehand, are still individual, but to hipsters, they're now regular. The people who are hipsters now, were the kids who USED to be mainstream. So wait, what does that mean? They still are. It's a damn fad, and one with fake ideals at that. The amount of hipsters I know that claim to be hipsters, and represent hipster ideals, while still being consumers, still being judgmental, still being the same dickheads at heart that they were beforehand. Hipster is a pose, a fabricated set of ideals, and, at it's core, is just a way for people to validate themselves, as original. Because it's so cool.

Oh this "HIPSTERS" are very similar like "FLOGGERS" in Argentina. But with very different customs. Fortunately are now extinct. I did not like them, because they were very superficial. From what i read, hipsters have nothing wrong.

i dont know why you think youre funny, honestly youre worse than a hipster. part of the 85% of whats wrong with the youth of today and american society as a whole. if you could please refrain from posting lame rules about hating hipsters in the future that would be cool (aside from reason # 2… that ones legitimately funny… and true). thanks. oh, and pbr kicks ass. and before you presume im a dirty hipster myself (because i hope youre smart enough to not assume), i hate hipsters more than hippies. at least hippies have the decency to be passively offensive when the senses the human body has. in any case, please let some of your friends proof read these kinds of things before you post them on the internet for everyone to read. im sure more than myself would appreciate it.

Actually, I really liked the author's opinion. And clearly it mattered enough for you to respond to it.

Nobody likes hipsters. You're all ironic and ironically enough a bunch of lemmings. Make sure that fedora and cardigan look nice before you go out to smoke though. You don't want people thinking you're weird!

I prefer to call myself bohemian over hipster, because I don't make an active effort to be different nor put down what used to be "cool." However, I do think that the mainstream folks can take it up the ass after outcasting the nerds and "weirdos" for so long.

I hate this hipster plague for many of the same reasons as the author. However, I also detest people who hate hipsters for being "vegan", eat organic, or work as graphic designers etc…

Newsflash: Hipsters didn't invent vegetarianism, graphic design, indie rock, etc

The only thing the modern hipster can be credited for is stealing every other true counter or sub cultures that ever existed before them, and turning them into "their thing", all under the guise of irony. But for the love of pete, please don't credit them with anything other than this.

It is safe to say that with the influx of hipsters increasingly taking over every urban area in the US, they ARE NOT counterculture or "underground". They are becoming just as mainstream as American Idol.
