Like Grunge, microsoft, D&D, Indy Music, Star Bucks and pretty much anything else emerging from Seattle, Hipster started out as a small thing that some marketing people picked up and ran with and made a massive main stream fashion out of. |

Are we thinking about the same D&D? My D&D never made me hip....quite the opposite lmao!!!
Back when I was younger it was the punks that were the 'non-comformists" in my area. I always told a few of them that they were conforming through their identical non-conformity. It always got their goat

It always got their goat It's a little more complicated than that, and your clear ignorance on the subject is probably what "got their goat". There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency. |

Trust me, it was all in jest. I was good friends with them even though I did not throw the middle finger up at convention quite as visibly as they. And guess what? They all threw up the same middle fingers, used the same hair dyes and listened to all the same bands as punks everywhere
The point was that we need to be happy with what we like and we should not worry about what others think about what we like and vice verse. It is a total waste of energy to do things to please or provoke people....a total waste of time.
P.S. You saying I was "clearly ignorant" of the subject is clearly an example of how judgmental the human race really is. |

But lately people use the term to refer to people who believe themselves to be anti-conformist but are in fact the opposite, in response to a large and growing set of fads centered around breaking from the mainstream. I think hipster originally implied a trendsetter. Moreover, a trendsetter for trends that weren't necessarily mainstream. To be hip was to know something, to be part of something that other people didn't realize existed and couldn't possibly appreciate. They were just too square. The modern hipster is someone who is looking for trends to set, if you see the distinction with "trendsetter." One is doing something and others are following; the other is doing something SO that others will follow. But, in the context of the meme that prompted me to post this thread in the first place, hipster has taken on a pejorative meaning, which is exemplified by the fact that it is no longer a term that someone would use to define themselves. To call someone a hipster is to call them desperate, needy, and obsessed.

Unbelievable really. I think you need to rethink some aspects of your life and just what it's priorities are. Seriously. Your response is more dramatic than my original post. Don't work yourself into a lather. My point was simply that the reasons for banishing threads to OOPE doesn't seem to be based on any real criteria. This thread had as much to do with EVE as Icelandic tourism. Yet, one was moved and the other wasn't. This has been a longstanding issue for the forums. It makes it appear as though these sorts of things are arbitrary and capricious.
Please do return my volley with another round of intense criticism and an examination of my soul. I, for one, believe that the only true perspective is that granted on teh interwebz. Are you going to provide the perspective?
I can't believe this offhand thread has lived this long. |

This is something I not only wholeheartedly agree upon but found out the hard way when I was younger, and seems even harder to maintain as I grow old and see people trying to play this strange game upon me.
Anyone is entitled to their beliefs and likes, and yes, playing this mind game is a total waste of time.
+1 to you!

The Icelandic tourism thread has the possibility of discussion about visiting CCP while in Iceland.
This thread is about the current RL monocle nonsense and Hipsterism, neither of which has a thing at all to do with EVE Online the game.
OOPE is clearly defined as for threads not directly related to the game. "He has mounted his hind-legs, and blown crass vapidities through the bowel of his neck."-á - Ambrose Bierce on Oscar Wilde's Lecture in San Francisco 1882 |

That is completely logical. All I will retort with is that I may have come up in the time where the words were perverted. But yes, when I go to a CLUTCH show and see this, I here others complain how the scene has changed and there are too many hipsters here. I kind of chuckle as it means that CLUTCH will come around even more
Just looking up hipster now and this page gave me a laugh. Even though a number of them could have easily been set up.

Apparently the word "hip" derives from African-American slang in the early 1900s, but became more in use with the Zoot Suit wearing Hep-Cats of the 30s.
