Hipsters in Law School Forum

[DanInALionsDen]

I dress somewhat hipster I guess (skinny jeans, a flannel shirt or two, wayfarers, etc.) and don't give a shit what anyone thinks of it. I like what I wear, I like the music I like. I think all of you guys running around in your 1990's bootcut jeans, baggy beer branded t shirts, sports jerseys, sweatpants, oakleys and so on are buying into an image just as much as I am, if not more: "Hey, look at me, look at my unthoughtful wardrobe! I'm a typical guy! No really! I'm totally average! I swear!" I think people hate hipsters because they feel excluded or hate the idea that there are people who don't feel obligated to fit into the "joe the plumber" paradigm. On top of this, all of your girlfriends secretly want get banged out by a hipster, and often do. Sorry about that.

I think we hurt the hipsters feelings, I didn't realize hipsters are so emo.

Haha. I think I'll pull through. I'm kind of enjoying this. I feel like I'm a hipster ambassador to a foreign land of "ordinary guys" who listen to classic rock and know sports stats and information in great detail.

skinny jeans aside, emo's are wayyyyy more girly than most hipsters, def more girly than psuedo hipsters.

Hipsters are emo kids who went to college.

+1, well said.

If a hipster makes out with another hipster, do the glasses bump and make things awkward for a second? Do both people automatically remove them? Is there a power struggle to see who can keep their glasses? Or do both people just keep the glasses on and accept the awkwardness...like middle schoolers and braces?

or when hipsters bang, how hard is it to remove the jeans; like, does someone have to always have scissors ready to cut off the skinny jeans?

in your post, you see there are two people, hipsters and "joe the plumber." this is false. I like dress nicely, gel my hair when i go out, and hit on attractive girls, none of this is "joe the plumber"-like. also, the girls i go after don't want to bang hipsters, or else they would dress like hipsters, and therefore, stop being girls i am attracted to.

and bro, what is up with the tight jeans?

and pearalegal, really!?

(1) You just wrote bro. (2) You said you "gel" your hair.

I think tighter jeans (not painted on tight, but straight to slim legged) look better. I think, on me, baggy jeans look like they're hanging off. Personal preference.

what is wrong with saying "bro." and gelled hair is about looking good, not about being guido or whatever your intent was quoting that portion of my post

The only people I know who say bro are guidos, or people who really want to seem "up to date on the lingo" as my dad would say, so they throw bro in every so often. As for "gel" the hipster in me is hoping you mean pomade or wax. Gel makes your hair crunch, shines unnaturally, and flakes when it dries out. If you really do use gel, take my advice and switch to one of the above mentioned substitutes. You'll thank me. Just don't let anyone know, or they might call you hipster.

You are all debating the cut and fit of jeans and the value of hair gel?

HAHAHA!

You're all hipsters. The lot of you.

I just realized what kind of glasses you're talking about. You mean those old man, thick, brown rimmed glasses, often worn without lenses and purchases at rite aid? I don't wear those, and agree they're pretty stupid. I wear these kind of glasses:

Mine are a bit cooler though cause they're clear on the bottom.

[sarlis]

its axe pomade, it doesn't flake or anything, but thanks for the info. and i started saying bro wayy before i encountered any guidos (the crew on Jersey Shore)

The nice thing is that companies now make jeans that are both jeans AND leggings. They stretch!

We're actually all so skinny underneath from our gluten free, soy free, vegan diets that the jeans just fall right off. That's the real reason we wear skinny jeans... if we didn't, we'd get lost in our own clothing.

^this, plus hipsters don't bang so no need for scissors.

[Pearalegal]

Yeah...I...own a pair. They fit so easily into my boots. No struggling! In my jeannings defense...they're a little thicker than your average leggings and quite comfy.

I def don't wear glasses without lenses, basically rayban sunglasses and non presrcip glasses, with the exception of the sunglasses, the glasses are stupid now because all the effing hipsters wear them or some version of them, the same way effing fratty, southern preppy types wear oakley's with the little thing to hang them around their neck but thats another thread. lmfao

Like I said, we're all just buying into different brands of ourselves. Everyone subscribes to an image.

nothing wrong with them on girls; i think they are kinda good looking of girls, it's something different. but when hipsters start wearing them, i think i am going to start hating them hahahh
