I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen a hipster in real life before. It sometimes makes me doubt whether it’s a thing or just some meme created on the Internet. I’ve also never been on an elevator with music before and it’s easy to believe that they never existed outside being the butt of some joke on TV. Then again, I also thought that tater tots were a myth before I got to high school and been in a cafeteria for the first time. What is the hipster’s natural habitat, that I’ve never actually run into one?

You must be very young…you haven’t lived until you ride in an elevator with canned music. ;)😃
 
My social circles would probably strike many as “hipster,” though I’m not really (and neither are my friends, but we do have interests and hobbies that overlap somewhat with the hipster trends.) But we have kids, so we can’t waste a lot of money on things to make us look really poor. 😛

I do think there’s more in common with hippies than you think. Including the stink. I went to an “gallery crawl” for local artists a couple summers ago (and that’s a very hipster thing to do, especially since there was also beer involved), and while there are things like deodorant crystals for the really out there people, they don’t work. At all. And it’s very noticeable, especially during the dog days of summer. :eek:

Basically, it’s just the trends right now among young adults. Some people follow more of the trends than others. Local, organic everything. Craft this or that. More domestic arts. Local bands and independent films. Vintage stuff and thrift stores. No big box stores or chains. Some of it’s good, IMO, some of it’s not so good, and some of it’s neutral. 🤷

I’m 19. I also never seen a pizza with anchovies before in real life instead of as a joke on TV. And, I’ve never had a taco or a burrito until freshman year of college. But, those were a breakfast taco and burrito and a fish taco, not burritos and tacos in the traditional sense. I wonder, does being a virgin to most mainstream foods make me a hipster?

Anchovy pizza is no joke – It is the best. 😛 👍

This seems a very hipster thing to say. 😉

I was about to launch an exposition on the different merits of locally brewed craft beers but I already gave myself away. 😛

Must comfort myself with fair trade organic 70% Cacao dark chocolate washed down with locally sourced sustainable … ice water.

:rotfl:

But did the chocolate have chile pepper in it?

(Actually, I kind of love that combination myself.)

Thank you.

Can’t blame you one bit about the 80s. That decade can give anyone indigestion.

I blame it on yuppies.

I blame it on media degradation hitting its stride around 1985. In 1987, I’m driving home and George Michael is yelling “I Want Your Sex” on the radio. At the time, there were radio stations that banned it from air play. By the '90s – into the abyss. Shock jocks, dirty, filthy radio, TV and movies getting worse… Then the internet: the worst exploitation of women in the history of mankind. (Yeah, I know there were men.)
