Not growing up dating with the use of cell phones and then having children who did and do creates a massive social/cultural barrier that cannot fully be comprehended at face value.
    Ugh. I just got a cell phone in the past year, and can't figure out how to make it send texts.

Additionally, they benefited from cheap immigrant labor, while the later generations will be stuck with paying for all the public services these immigrants' children use up.

    I haven't seen them wear much of anything from the 80s. Most of it looks like its from the 70s, with bits thrown in from the 60s, 50s, and even 90s.

    Most of the 80s fashion either appears on people who were young back then (battered & faded Iron Maiden and Motley Crue t-shirts, often accompanied with long hair, jeans and white 'tennis shoes') or has faded from existence for all time (leg warmers and stirrup pants I have not seen since I was in elementary school)

    I thought you were supposed to beat them with a stick and drag them behind some bushes or into a dark alleyway for that? Someone in a bar might call the cops. Especially now that they all have cell phones.

    Bars on average are filled with single mothers under 25 who live with/on their parents and were some bad-boy degenerates pump-machine until she morphed into mommy mode and became less interested in his true motives and he banged that sexy secretary at work and jetted.

    The realities for many young Western moms are loneliness and deep-rotting irony that those shy guys who wanted to date them might have been better on second thought than the army guy or the run of the mill jock moron.

    This hipster "concern" is just a tempest in a teapot. Keats and Whitman probably would be hipsters if they lived today (or hippies if back in the 1960s). To me, whatever fads they choose to follow or not are their own business. I have bigger fish to fry than what some teen or 20somethingh chooses to wear, how they talk, walk, or how poorly or well they conform to society's gender ideals is none of my business. We'll always have this kind of thing as long as we have a society as wealthy and technically advanced as we have today, so I just consider it "background noise" irrelevant to my immediate life's concerns.

    [TL;DR]My feelings:
    I hate Hipsters. Hipsters represent to me everything that is wrong. My neighbourhood is a festering nest of hipsters. Each time I see lenseless frames on some poorly dressed dumb bitch I want to knock their lights out. Hipsters are even more annoying than Emos, because unlike emos who were whiny little losers (but knew that they were pretty much worthless) these hipster assholes are arrogant and an unwarranted sense of superiority. They shell out hundreds if not thousands of dollars to look like they dressed in a trash bin and ultimately look like shit. I hate their wannabe communism, I hate their wannabe artsiness, I just hate everything about them. They're this | | close to ruining the Apple brand for me too.



    WHY THE FUCK IS THAT PIZZA IN THE WATER GET IT OUT YOU HIPSTER BITCH GET IT OUT RIGHT NOW PIZZA DOESN’T BELONG IN THERE

    WHY WOULD EVEN? I AM SO ANGRY JUST LOOKING AT THIS. YOU ARE PUTTING THE PIZZA IN DANGER OF GETTING WET AND THEN I CAN’T EAT IT. FUCK, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

    WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING? ARE THEY TRYING TO KILL THAT PIZZA JUST FOR THE SAKE OF A FUCKING HIPSTER PHOTO? DON’T THEY KNOW THAT PIZZA IS MORE VALUABLE THAT ANY PICTURE THAT CAN EVER BE TAKEN? WHAT IF I FUCKING PUSH YOU IN THE WATER AND THEN TAKE A FUCKING PICTURE?

    WHAT A FUCKING INCONSIDERATE ASSHOLE. I’M GOING TO THROW HIM IN THE OVEN, LET HIM SIT FOR 18 MINUTES, TAKE HIM OUT, PUT HIM ON A PLASTIC SAUCER & FUCKING PUSH HIM INTO THE OCEAN. I BET HE WON’T BE TUMBLING THEN.

    WTF THIS BITCH DUNNO HOW TO ACT, YOU DON’T TREAT PIZZA LIKE THAT. BITCHES ME MAD.

    JESUS HOLY CUNTBALLS CHRIST. PIZZA ISN’T MEANT TO FLOAT, YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT. THIS PIECE OF PIZZA COULD PROBABLY CURE CANCER, BUT THEN YOU GO AND BE A FUCK ABOUT IT AND PUT IT IN THE WATER. GOD DAMN SHITTITS. MY SHOES HAVE MORE COMMON SENSE AND THEY CAN’T EVEN BREATHE. FUCK.

    I CANT EVEN . YOU DUMB BITCH DON’T YOU DARE LET GO OF THAT PLATE. IF YOU DO THE PIZZA WILL GET WET AND I CAN’T EAT IT. THEN I WILL HAVE TO KILL YOU FOR WASTING A SLICE OF AMAZING PIZZA. KAYTHNXSBAI.

    WHO THE FUCK WOULD DO THAT TO A PERFECTLY GOOD PIZZA?! ARE YOU NUTS?! YOU SHOULD HAVE FUCKING GIVEN IT TO ME INSTEAD OF PUSHING IT IN A POOL! NOW IT WILL BE UNEATABLE! JUST THINK OF THE STARVING KIDS IN AFRICA WHO DON’T GET FOOD! AND YOU JUST WASTE A PIZZA LIKE THAT!

    AND LOOK AT THE COLOR OF THAT WATER. IT’S DAMN NEAR GREEN. WHY WOULD YOU SACRIFICE THE PIZZA’S LIFE JUST TO TAKE A PICTURE OF IT ABOVE SEWER WATER? CLEAN YOUR FUCKING POOL BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK TO PUT SUCH A NECESSITY OF LIFE NEAR THAT IRRITABLE LIQUID SUBSTANCE.

    HE BETTER BE SAVING THAT FUCKING DELICIOUS SLICE OF PERFECTION. IF NOT, MAY SATAN SUCK THE SOUL OUT OF HIS WORTHLESS BODY, AND FEED IT TO ALL THE CANNIBALS IN THE DEPTHS OF HELL.
    [/TL;DR]

    Now, that being said, I don't think they're a threat to society. They're only a threat to good taste and decent sense of aesthetics in all artistic areas (from fashion to cinema). But unless you are like me and actually care (or think you do whatever the case may be), then they're nothing to be worried about. Simply sneer and carry on.
    There'll be no diversity if we end up burning in the Melting pot...

    http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/...nce-hipsterism

    In general, psychologists who study consumers understand that people are largely motivated to spend money not just on things that they materially need, but that bolster their sense of identity. They purchase not just goods and services, but mythologies. Imagining themselves as rugged, rebellious patriots, they buy a Harley-Davidson. Imagining themselves as respected and well-heeled, they buy a Lexus.

    Hipsters, though, follow a different paradigm. Their problem is that their purchases tend to place them within a category whose mythology they despise. That's right: Nobody likes hipsters, not even hipsters.

    Generally speaking: \/ sense of nationality/patriotism = ^ in subcultures.
    "For it is by no means the case that only those who believe in God could possibly have a vested interest in the question of His existence."
    --Edward Feser
    "Our civilization has had many religions and many dispensations of thought. But one of the things that we have forgotten is that open-mindedness to the future and respect for evidence does mean wooliness and an absence of certitude in what we are."

    though this girl i kidding everything she is saying is everything i had to endure hearing in art school when i studied in boston.
    it was a living hell, art school was dominated by pieces of shit like this.
    i dont care if you dress like a idiot or talk like a idiot or anything but the snobby superiority complex thinking everyone was less than them while they rambled on like morons.
    this was in early 2001-2003 when this scene really began. and i went threw this more in school up until 2005.
    though i think people like this always were around but this could be the most horrible batch yet.
