Hipster Disease Infecting Thousands in UK

LONDON - England - Just when you thought it was safe to go out into the streets after the Labour government championed chavs have mostly died off, another vile concoction of youth culture and commercially created trend setting is threatening to take over everything.

"Have you seen the hipsters. They look like dickheads and are a laughing stock," a man at an East London bus stop quipped as he waited for the next bus.

One thing about the hipsters is that they are not violent, unlike their opposites - the chavs. Instead, a hipster, may have some rough looking tats but would rather prefer a night in knitting a low-cut vest as opposed to kicking someones face in outside an off licence like their chav counterparts.

Hipsters like to think they're cool and unique, but all seem to dress in exactly the same way as each other with exactly the same accessories and uniform as each other as well as adopting the exact same mannerisms and have-to-pee poses.

Modern hipsters are a subverted version of the 1940s US subculture and the perversion of the original version has suddenly cropped up over in the UK recently. These corporate arseholes are essentially a creation of the social networks, conglomerate fashion outlets, and ad agencies; a fucked up version of myspacers and Glee enthusiasts mixed up in a bucket of Gap clothes, tumblr and shit Eighties sunglasses with beards and t-shirts silk-screened quoting movies they have probably never heard of or ever seen.

The male ones wear similar hipster uniforms to the female versions, and most of the time it is quite hard to tell the difference between the two sexes. There is certainly a high level of effeminacy with the males of the hipster species, with their long flowing scarves and stockings and tweaky bumfluff moustaches.

 



Hipsters do affirm to a version of jackass geek chic and love to wear glassless NHS style glasses to look more intelligent, even though they have probably never even read a single book let alone some obscure 1960s beat poetry.

"These people are a waste of space and should be exterminated. They make me ill. I want to strangle them," an anti-hipster person told the BBC last night.

Surely all this hipster hate is unjustified.

All we can say is bring back the chavs. Anything is better than this shite. Actually, scratch that thought, they're both as bad as each other.

I have nothing against people who are genuinely unique but today's "hipsters" are as original as a paper airplane. Its just a trend,it'll die.

It disgusts me how something as shallow and temporary as aesthetic looks are the only thing that seem to matter to a good portion of the human race..
I have friends across pretty much all youth cultures and not one of us care about how the other dresses or looks why? because we like each other for who we are.

Aesthetics are not shallow, they are a function of a function and form. As an example I don't wear polyester at all, (xcept bathing shorts) because it's shit. When I see another person badly dressed, I perceive that this individual has no understanding of quality and is thus shallow. They don't see the deeper qualities of the objects and clothes they surround themselves with. The prefer shit to quality. This is not purely a visual thing, but quality material has a tendency to adapt more gracefully to it's environment.

*Sigh* And so it starts... Anyone want to know how I heard about "hipster"? I got called a hipster. Yeah, someone randomly said, "Omg you are such a hipster. you have a blog on tumblr? Wow, I wouldn't follow you ever, you most likely have an annoying hipster blog." Please note, I STILL don't know what hipster blogs are? (feel free to comment and explain, I am honestly curious :P) I post only about anime. So is that supposed to be hipster? Anyways, So, could someone post and explain what exactly hipster is? When I look it up on google or on tumblr, I only get hater definitions (example: fags from hell who need to dress better and stop looking like annoying gays). Could I actually get a definition? Because I'm being called one and have no clue what they even are :/ And it's pissing me off... because if I don' know what they are, then obviously I'm not a hipster, I'm being me, all the way.

I get called a hipster all the time, it is not a bad thing, I don't wear shit from the eighties, I have definitely read a few books. I do my own thing, and I speak my mind and people generally don't like it because they don't understand cause they are usually too caught up in mainstream society. From what I understand a hipster is a person who goes there own way whether people like it or not.

I don't mind the way "hipsters" act these days, but the clothing is atrocious. I only wish that they would ditch the clothes. Maybe change to the kind of clothing you would see on the red carpet nowadays. at least those types of clothes don't make me want to punch a baby.

So, let me get this straight. You are hating on an entire subculture you know nothing about because they like different things then you, or because of the clothes they wear? Why would you get so worked up over it? And don't say you don't care, because the fact that you took the time to type this piece of bull-crap up means that hipsters are really getting under your skin.

P.S. If i turned this in to my ninth, or even eight grade teacher, I would get nothing above a C. You're sentance structure doesn't vary at all, you are comparing two things from completely different categeries, and you're evidence? Really? You just took the words of some random guy off the street and called it evidence? PUHleeze, if that was considered evidence, I could prove that you live in a pineapple, you're name is Mike Vazovski, and you're goal in life is to become a porcupine.

He actually didn't misspell any word. He used the wrong versions of some words. But misspell them, no he didn't.
