Must haves - glasses, beard (men), big second hand overcoat, roll up skinny jeans, bright trainers / doc martens.

Never - straight leg jeans, short back and sides, hooded jumper, fleece.

Hipsters


Must haves: so much fun and getting all the girls (or boys) that it makes lonely trolls angry


If you're going to give in to projecting your lack of self-esteem onto others, please make the effort to get your facts straight:


1) Beards are no longer hipster. They've passed the tipping point by some margin (Jesus, it was even on the Today programme that they ceased to be cool when all the non-cool kids started sporting them)


2) Not wearing a fleece doesn't make you a hipster. It makes you an individual with a modicum of self-respect (There is never any excuse for wearing a fleece unless polar exploring)

Hipsters -


Must haves.


A first class honours in getting s*it faced in a s*ithole.


Getting the night bus home and being loud and posh whilst juggling a kebab or boxed chicken meal. Must be annoying on public transport.


A bad taste in vintage tops (preferably floral or ironic in some way). Tops with band names from the 70s seem popular too.


Never haves.


Never stay in a s*it area too long. No ones likes the p*sshead who hangs around on the streets at 6 in the morning, especially in a 'former' cool place. You're basically on a par with a park bench alcoholic if you do.


Never talk about yourself in terms of 'labels' - you won't have too many friends if you do.


Never laugh at something that's actually funny. It's the height of coolness. Keep a sarcastic face at all times.


Completely ignore everything I'm saying. But check out my sweater, cos it's dated ugly and from a long time ago, and you want it off me don't ya?


Louisa.

You're wrong. I know who you're talking about. For a start, none of those people are rich, or even well off. None of them are posh. They're not slumming it which is pretty much what hipster is, appropriation. If you don't like singing, don't go to a football match.

I just find it amusing that people can get still so narked by how some people dress and choose to live their lives in a certain style, that does no harm to anyone, get over it, good grief ... Ps I have no beard or any form of headwear, but would like some DM's as I loved wearing them in the 80's, but fear I'm a tad too over hill for them now ;)

Personally, I find intolerance more annoying than "hipsters" ;-)


Yes, some folks can wind us up with their ways or appearance, but stereotyping a group is a great way to cause division. We're all in at least a few groups whether we think so or not, and we all wind others up in some way or another; even just by existing.


I try to focus on what I like in ED, not what winds me up... there's enough in the latter category to fill a novel.

Even if it IS post-modern Gregorian chanting with a cynically lazy approach to the dative and ignorance of the ablative. Posh kids love footy too.*



*Play up Gentlemen!

I love singing at a footy match, I just dont like some of the singers in this case.


And does one have to be rich to be a hipster?


And how do you know whether any of them are rich / well off, or slumming it?

Hi Otta


People like you are the lifeblood of the Hamlet :-) Hope to meet you next season. I bet you have been going home and away supporting the Hamlet.


Unlike the Hipsters you speak of? I bet you have more fun going away singing your songs when they don't go :-)


What's your favourite song at Dulwich to sing? We can have sing song next year away from them.

This post seriously embodies all that is cr*p about East Dulwich.


Some people with beards go to the football and sing, get over it.


I don't have a beard but seriously, come over and meet some of the gentlemen with beards, you might like them, then again I suspect you might only go to the one big game a year.


Down with singing and having a good time at a footy match I say.


Blokes with beards and a hat or tossers, I would rather stand with the beards.

If they happen to be gay that could make them bears, but not sure what the mainstream category would be. Normal middle age maybe?

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
