Opinion! How to Live Without Irony

To me Hipsters are the same as Preppies: a bunch of shallow trustafarians who are members of a club to which you gain acces by consumerism. Wear the right clothes, then you're part of the gang.

I noticed that which is why I liked the article I thought is was kind of interesting that she really had her own problem but never addresses it.I like articles where the author makes a fool of themselves but fails to realize it.

I always feel that if you are confident in your ways it should not bother you if someone buys into your style so to speak.A true connoisseur has no need to advertise at all.So if it is a guy with a Black Flag shirt unless it is at a 1984 concert I know the guy just wants attention if I see a guy with a NRA sticker on his truck I know that he just wants to seem like a bad ass gun owner he may not even own a single firearm he just got the sticker in the mail x10 for the "I dial .357 not 911" bumper sticker.

At the same to time to mock such a person does not mean that you are laughing at your inner self.

HEy! I once was given a ride in the US by some guys with thick glasses who saw me hitchhiking while sporting a BF-shirt!
Glad they were outdoor-nerdrock-guys on their way to a canoe tour and no hipsters. Oh, this happened in 2006.

Laughing at your self is never wrong. Laughing at Hipsters, too. Laughing at the author, three. I agree that the author doesn't notice how much the article tells about herself.

Ah they knew that you where the real deal and wanted a little to rub off on them.

I laugh at myself everyday with all the stupid things I have done.You are talking to a guy that once stood on top of an old upside down aquarium which of course caused the glass to shatter and cut the crap out of my ankle.I was only 12 or so at the time.

Or just people with a good taste in music I'm just saying that with a NRA shirt I might have stood there much longer, as this was a pretty lonesome road... So wearing shirts of older bands can certainly help you sometimes.

^True, the clothing does matter sometimes, talking from personal experience

With the NRA shirt this guy would have stopped

Oh this could have also been fun:

Hell, until I searched the song on YT I didn't know that they made a second part to this awesome game. Looks like it never came on the German market - the first one was put on index (=prohibited to sell) shortly after it was published.

If you'd been wearing a GWX shirt you might have been run over

I'm currently wearing a T-shirt with the Dungeons and Dragons 2nd edition logo on it. I believe that is the hattrick right there - Hipster attire with nods to both geek and nerd. I am the Omni-dork and my hep styling is so dense ordinary coolness bends in my presence like space-time near a black hole.

I don't really care what other people think of my style that is the real secret be yourself.

Aside from certain styles of clothing that ID a person as a gang member I don't care what someone else wears.

Sorry but I really have no idea what hep styling means.
