HAHA, I find this both funny, and stupid.

Adding my two cents in: Hipsters built their culture by hodgepodging (is that a real word?) other movements, but only taking the "buy-able" parts of them. They don't necessarily listen to a band, they just buy the shirt and wear it ironically. At least the ones around my parts.
Whats missing is originality. My buddy just moved to New York from Poland and he jokes with me that he could make some serious cash if he would go get his grandpas clothes and sold the "collection" to NY boutiques.
 
Wow... you know im pretty sure I've got a picture of my dad somewhere without a shirt, holding a huge glass of wine, a joint in the other hand, and draped in an american flag... surrounded by other people who looked very much the same. Oh wait, he was a hippie, figures...
 
My Dad may not have been a hipster but he was hip. How many Dads out there can tell their son they had an ex-works Norton (raced in the Isle of Man by a top rider of the times) as their ride? Mine can and i wish he had kept it!!!!

Mine rode a bike in the desert in WW2 and there's no way he as a hipster, but he was my dad. And both my sons ride bikes and one rides his skateboard with his sons (my grandsons). Not sure any of us are hipsters either.

Love the CS1 picture Hoof. That's a great picture.
 
Funny you should write that Teazer. My uncle (on the bike) chased Rommel around the desert in WW2. I found that photo when I was 8 or 9. Dad used to tell me it was "a special Norton" but he didn't have any details. I found years after he passed that it was "a special Norton" through a dutchman who knew an Englishman who sent me this photo. Stanley Woods on it during the 1929 TT. The link is the reg. OF 166. The white numbers on a black background indicate practice numbers. I have a photo of it being raced somewhere. Thinking about it I guess it would make Dad hip but not a hipster.

Great stuff guys ,you guys should take this show on the road. The only part that bumes me out about hipsters is that they tend to adopt all the things i like flanel shirts and cut off pants , not to mention vans half cab shoes, and convers The part that bugs me the most is that i really was a poor dirt bag growing up . These kids come from million dollar homes and try looking scummy with there 300 dollar pants and there 100 dollar hair cuts . Bunch of pansies with the same justin beaver hair cuts.
 
I wouldnt call my dad a hipster, but he definitely fell into the "rebel" category. ;)
Here he is (center) senior year in HS. 1971.

Are you kidding? Look at the hair, the glasses, the retro clothes. Total hipster! ;D
 
I wouldn't waste time hating hipsters. Like any other fad, they won't last long. Not giving a shit about fads means that by the time I'm even aware of these trend, they're usually almost over. So any day now the hipster thing will be replaced by some even more annoying fadster phase.
