Hipsters

[Parkdrive]

Just as I thought the hipster thing is total bollocks.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Loose knits and total bollocks remind me of "The Hairdresser's Husband".

Jez and I were talking 'fashion' in general, not specifically 'Hipsters'

But your view is noted

[steveo]

Does the new style mean that youngsters who look like their balls are hanging over their waistbands and they have just shat themselves is over?

Because I'll miss it frankly

The REAL edgy fashionistas are going for socks and flip-flops - much trickier to pull off.

Ah, now were back to Flip Flops

On a very healthy and well toned leg and foot, good

Otherwise, they remind me of a raw pork belly chop resting on a polystyrene meat tray

Socks and sandals you say?

My dad os going to be cool. as. fuck!

So Seabag, what you're saying is - clothes look good on good looking people who are in good shape.

Didn't mention 'good looking' but 'good shape' can be pleasing

Be honest, what's attractive about a hulking great bacon joint of a foot, squashing a Flip Flop to near invisibility under its mass

That said; i'm getting hungrier after writing the word 'bacon'

Weird eh !

[Otta]

With toes like little sausages.

Jellies (plastic sandles) and white socks - big soul boy fashion in late 70s....so he may have been in then

[Salsaboy]

Mmmmm bacon and sausages.....

[KidKruger]

"So Seabag, what you're saying is - clothes look good on good looking people who are in good shape."

this seems to be what the vast majority of the population think, want and aspire to.

Sausages ?

Now you're talking! & that big ol' bacon foot (in a flip flop) just keeps on giving

[Salsaboy]

Prefer my sausage between a couple of baps.

Fashion victims are the worst, you know the type, the bods who feel they must wear what they are told to by the media, their peers, and whatever advertising campaigns want to foist on them. Sad individuals who have no individuality and have to be told what to wear and how to wear it.

Ha ha! The 20 worst hipster bands. Some forum regulars may disagree. El Pibe, DC and Strafer - I'm looking at you.

Not heard of most of them, liked that "We are young" song by Fun, Love Mariner's Revenge by The Decemberists, and saw them live which I quite enjoyed even though I couldn't name any of their other songs (that gig was my first experience opf the smoking ban, which put a dampener on it, but we'd smoked a big joint outside before hand so could have been worse).

I don't know much about Arcade Fire, but I did catch a bit of their set at Reading some years ago and they looked fun. Don't know any of the others.

[Salsaboy]

Never heard of most of them. Obviously I'm not hip enough.

[El Pibe]

wow, angry men, I don't really see how arcade fire suck the life out of music though i can see how some critics suck the life out of life.

To be fair most of them predate the current interpretation of 'hipster' some might be better described as emo i guess.

Of course when critics go wild it's prefectly sensible to reappraise. I like Sleigh Bells, but they were never as good as some critics suggested. I always thought they were more like the Bangles than Babes in Toyland, but then I always thought the Bangles were hideously underrated and had a great ear for pop.

The Decemberists are quite simply wonderful though what they have to do with hipsters other than some of them may or may not like them, is anyones guess. But my favourite live act.

Beirut, good first album, but ultimately just a poor man's Neutral Milk Hotel...who by the way were brilliant last night!!

I did go to a bright eyes gig and had to leave after half an hour as i wanted to gun down the audience with a machine gun.

Waaves are awful though.

[El Pibe]

and where the hell is neutral milk hotel on that list, if you're going to try to be cool by trying to shoot down people who are better than you then at least go for bigger targets.

Shall we start another thread about how shit the beatles were again?

[El Pibe]

i have a hateful hangover in case you can't tell........

[StraferJack]

you are spending more time over here than there of late... still, must be nice to enjoy a proper pint ammiright?

[El Pibe]

well, work paid for my flights to go see a band, so who am i to say no?!

I am finding n more proper beer in Ireland, I may have to drive an hour to go get it, but it's making inroads!!

They didn't do Mariner's Revenge A.K.A. "The Whale Song" when I saw them. For which I will never forgive them (being as that's the only reason I went).
