I fucking hate these dweebs. I've been a metalhead going on 27 years now. Metalheads were never hipsters. Ever. We're like the exact opposite. We don't do irony. We're so fucking earnest and clueless we're kinda lovable. And now...now...these hipsters are getting all up in my metal. Got into an argument with some skinny jean, single gear riding civil war era moustache douche about metal. He said to me "The problem with metalheads is that they don;t apreciate the sonic density of the music they create. Alot of newer bands are sonically dense and experimental beyond the party and satan outlook. They're deeper. It's real metal in a Jungian way."
I stabbed the fucker.
I mean look at this list at soem hipster site about the "Best Metal Albums of 2011". Go ahead look at it:

Fucking unlistenable crap. It's third rate Sonic Youth with upside down cross graphics and artful watercolor skulls being called "real metal" by people who thought some weepy sweater band playing big band arrangements of Edith Piaf songs on circus calliopes last year was some how cool. Or some shit.
Fucking hipster. Fuck them and their shitty facial hair. Also, fuck them.

Yes, they are idiots. But why do people let them bother them so much?

"Today I saw a girl wearing a kitchen towel as a skirt. She inspired me to wear this Nirvana flag as a 90s-styled wrap skirt. A Spice Girls glitter top and a feminine bow by Kirsi Nisonen makes the outfit perfect.”

Look my dude,
I like the fuckin Hipsters. Straight up.
I look at them the way Carlito looked at Billy Blanko from the Bronx.
No more, no less. I see me in them. And maybe that's what scares
all you cats who say your a stranger to their psyche.If you don't think you father looked at you the same way, your fuckin
smokin. My dude, we were all fuckin crazy when we were kids. If you
had any balls at all you was livin wreckless and crazy. But thats the way
real shit pops off. Real shit pops of from niggas doin crazy stupid goofy
shit.I mean, my Pops was a Jazz musician and he had to watch me listenen to
Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys! But my pops was cool enough to buy me
those records. And now I put him on to shit like Jazzanova & Miguel Ferguson.The only difference now, is the internet. The internet has given a lot niggas
shine who would never have shine! And when I say shine I mean knowledge.
The Price of Knowledge used to be experience, now its the desire to click a mouse

I'm growing a beard for winter becasue I board a lot and plan on taking a bunch of back country snowboard trips this winter. Is it hipster to have a beard now? Mine is for practical reasons, worked well last year, but I feel like they ruined that.

What fails me in this whole cycle of nonsensical argument is that there are no clearly defined boundaries about where this 'movement' begins or ends – which is what makes the antagonists as nebulous as the protagonists.
A buddy of mine said "yeah, when the whole hipster thing started...." and i questioned him about the definition of what that 'thing was'. He described a vague set of clothes (which we owned) and an even vaguer lifestyle (which we probably both lived) and then lost himself in a spiral of descriptions which emphasised my point above.
The fact that people use it to tag anything that is going on in youth culture that's depicted as cool is also unhelpful. It's like when people talk about a presentation of design & art direction as "the creative".
The main point I'm trying to make is that the term is so resolutely vague and pointless, it's folly to even recognise the discussion around it as an endeavour.
- i think hipster is defined clearly by this: would you have been considered an extra in the movie pretty in pink?prophetone

I've got nothing against hipsters, in fact i'm possibly a hipster to a 60 yrs old. The whole thing is just funny. like that weird guy in the office everyone laughs at but he has no idea why everyone is laughing at him. then one day that weird guy becomes a billionaire and none of us is invited to his party which has all the hollywood stars and playboy bunnies...
