HAHA, I find this both funny, and stupid.

Oh man, I just went through the entire blog. Best read I've had in months.
 
Oh yeah, the blog is really funny. The stupid part is when people refer to any old Honda as a cafe racer. They should have done 30 seconds worth of google searching and found a better picture. Also, I though hipsters liked mopeds. Maybe I'm just that out of touch.
 
Hipsters like anything with two wheels. Four wheels are so gauche. But I have a feeling hipsters will eventually be into cars. I predict hipster cars of the future will be: Chevette, Pinto, Geo, Mustang II, Datsun, Fiat X-19, TR7, Golf Cabriolet.
 
So hipster's dads were douche bags too, or did I read it wrong?

My dad was a southern rocker, and in the day he kicked hipster guy's hippie dad's ass and took his blow... Just sayin'...

Don't forget ratrods. LOL Hipsters are all about being cheap. :D

Hipsters are all about the illusion of cheapness. That old Judas Priest concert shirt cost $150 at a vintage boutique in Williamsburg.
 
Great blog with some classic pics. I may have one or two like those hidden somewhere safe so my kids can't find them.....
 
You better burn them. 30 years from now you'll be getting your out of fashion hilarious photos posted under the heading of hipster.
 
I have a theory why people such as myself, late 30s to early 40s, have feelings of animosity towards the hipsters. They are the generation after us and yet they have latched onto things we still enjoy. Historically, this may be the first 2 consecutive generations that are into the same popular culture yet separated by 2 decades of age.

I think it's more because most hipsters are pretentious douchebags. At least that's what I think of when I hear hipster: bandwagon jumping, douchebaggery, and ugly flannel shirts.

Nothing against flannel shirts! They just all seem to be adorning hairless hipster chests.
 
man, my dad had a beetle, an old honda motorcycle, a mustache, desert boots, a terry towel material t-shirt, an old wooden skiff, long sideburns...was he a hipster too? He wasn't though, he was an amateur boxer, and that alone disqualifies him from hipsterdom.

I think you may have just nailed it. I always tell people I'm to old to be a hipster because I was around before the certain aspects of that style I like (Chuck's, Vans, etc) were ironic. Plus I went to at least half of those concerts that they ironically were the tour t-shirts from. Funny thing is I only found out about this whole new fangled hipster thing in the past year. I was way to busy not giving a shit. It sure is entertaining though.

You might have it there. Maybe the difference in the two generations is our own version on Mods and Rockers.
