and heres a recent question i got on formspring


How can I be a big hipster like you

"hahaha, so what, i like to go to concerts, i like shopping at UO, i like that hipster type music, theyre just things i like and that i've always liked, but i dont like trying to pretend im not enjoying life or trying to be hip. so yes i do indulge in the whole hipster culture, but i dont think i have the hipster mind set, i wouldnt know though theres like no hipsters here, i still dont know what exactly they are by definition..."


so do i consider myself a hipster?
not really, i didnt know what a hipster was til a couple of months ago... but i guess i do fit the basic definition eh, but what can i say i've always been into the types of music i listen to, and hell i've always dressed pretty differently whether it was thigh high neon socks at 12 or satin blouses and pencil skirts at 15, i change styles all the time, but ive always loved the eclectic vintage type look that hipsters have adapted

where did hipster even come from? has it always been here? i remember the first time i went into an Urban Outfitters [which was like last year] and i just described it as 'boho' and 'eceltic', but now its clear to me how "hipster" it is. so i dont really know how i fell into the whole hipster stereotype, i kind of unkownly was heading towards it my whole life haha

so i guess on the outide, yes im probably a hipster, but i still wouldnt say i am one. i dont try to hip or ironic, i dont listen to music i dont even like because its cool, i dont go to concerts so i can say i went to it, i go because i like the experience of sharing the same love for the same music with a big group of people and hearing and seeing the talent live and looouuudd in front of my face is so surreal.

so yeah.. i dont know what to say, basically i dont want to be labelled a hipster for the negative connotations associated with it, because i too find that pretty damn annoying. i'm not going to stop liking what i like if its not "hip" anymore and im not going to stop liking the things i like just because theyre part of this whole hipster culture. it'll pass, just like scene kids and emo kids did, does anyone even remember when they were all the rage to hate? but i'll probably stay the same because this is just who i am haha

i have my own opinions, i go and do what i want, like what i like. everyones an idividual even if they are part of a mass sub-culture. who cares if a bunch of people like certain clothes and certain genres of music, it doesnt say that much about their personality anyways, they're just things people have in common.
