What is hipster fashion?
I think hipsters go against the grain, they don't just wear what's trendy. What they wear is meaningful, like the graphic t-shirts with rock bands. The lyrics from those bands are meaningful, as opposed to most famous and big pop anthems or songs coming out of the major rap labels and all that stuff. They put more thought behind what they're wearing.

Why do people love to hate hipster fashion?
People love to hate what's unfamiliar. If you look back in history, it's always been that way. People hate what they don't understand.

Do you think you're a hipster?
I might have days where I look like a hipster. I realize that because I have friends who are hipsters. Today, I'm just happy to be wearing color because it's usually all black and grey.

I like the whole hipsters look, it is waaay better than a lot of generic garb that clothes certain strands of NYers.

I find most hipsters to be uninteresting and rote, and their fashion is an attempt to externally manufacture a personality they so obviously lack.

Good eye TS.

Also, what hipster would knowingly admit to labeling themselves as part of a stereotype? Of course they will deny it.

One problem with this feature is that it treats hipsters as a subculture, which they're really not. Members of other subcultures willingly identify themselves and are typically proud of their membership. No one wants to be a hipster. Everyone has negative connotations with the word.

Calling someone a hipster doesn't place them in a certain group. It usually just signifies that you think they try too hard to stand out, wear stupid clothes, listen to really obscure music, drink PBR, do things "ironically," etc. I'm sure everyone who reads Nerve fits multiple hipster stereotypes, but no one would call themselves a hipster. It's a stereotype and an insult, not a distinct group.

So the title of the article is an oxymoron. Being a hipster is by definition bad, but their fashion choices are held up as something to be emulated or inspired by. The article would work better if it had a more satirical tone, but it fails as a straight fashion guide because no one wants to look like these people.

So, that's my overanalysis of an irrelevant topic for the day. On the upside, I think I upped my hipster cred by at least 10 points with that rant.

I think that just because hipsters don't identify as hipsters does not mean there are not a subculture but rather not counterculture (which implies action). A part of the identification of being a hipster is at this point to deny being a hipster. It's hard to deny that they are not a part of mainstream culture YET until consumer captialism has completely engulfed their culture like other subcultures (punk, grunge, etc). Also, it's hard to say they are not a group because there is so much commonality and signfiers. But there is much more diversity within it that people give credit like hipsters who are also activists and such.

i think it's funny that people A) get offended by the term & B) just started using the term.
hi? where ya been for the last 10 years? do you think people have just now started wearing AA & Raybans & such? hipster-dom has been around a long time (relatively) & to poke fun of it is to ignore that this is essentially youth culture.

#3 is hilarious. Doesn't understand why people would have him confused with a hipster and goes so far as to state that an item of clothing he just happens to be wearing is indicative of a hipster. Look folks, call it whatever you want. Fashion is just another form of art and self-expression, who are we to criticize what other people wear, no matter the rationale behind it.

Don't these pretentious post-teens realize that standing in line for this pathetic "chain" store supervisor position is playing in the 'hipster' essence they're all trying to selfconsciously hide from???

Blonde in #3

I was awkwardly trying to avoid being in the photo and simultaneously avoid eye contact. I work at American Apparel, and I'm dating Zach of photo #3. He was dressed that way because he needed the job and AA hires based upon your ability to style and wear their clothing. And he got hired that day. Also, this hateful blogging is really not cool guys. Categorizing and labeling people based on appearance is small minded and petty. What is with this weird human need to group people and judge them solely on how they look? Judgment and unkindness for the sake of entertainment doesn't seem like a solid basis for an article at all. Especially on a topic that has already been discussed in this manner countless times before.

Don't downplay the role your boyfriend's mustache played in his AA hiring, Blonde in #3.

People make fun of "hipsters" because the archetypal hipster is an easy target, much like the bongo-playing, beret-wearing beatnik that was the butt of similar jokes 60-odd years ago. Nick Carraway up there let Nerve interview him for the piece. If he didn't want 10 or 15 internet strangers making fun of his cardigan, he should have taken a page out of your book and demurred.

Uhh,, hipster fashion is just preppy bought at used clothing stores. Then when the 70s clothes from the used clothing stores got bought up they moved on to the 80s.
