The hipster thread

[Larry B.]

- I knew and liked No Doubt before they became a hit with "Tragic Kingdom".

- I knew and liked Green Day right before they became famous with "Dookie".

- I was basically the only Chilean who was a die-hard fan of Jane's Addiction, during my high-school years (1997-2001)

- A lot lamer, but I read the first Harry Potter way before it was "a thing"

So, are you coming out to us as a hipster, Larry?

[Larry B.]

I was actually expecting to hear some of your own hipsterisms...

[Artemis]

oh, i guess i didn't get that.

okay, i think got some hipster in me.

i didn't have a TV before it was cool not to have a TV.

i still havea ghetto blaster with tape deck that i sometimes play cassettes on. (i have about 300+cassettes)

i would say i am au currant when it comes to music. i know when i am at work, and the topic of music comes up, my co-workers have no idea about the music i'm talking about.

i don't have a complicated haircut, but it's thickness and coarseness does add complications in styling, so it could be considered hipsterish,i guess.

i have always been in the know about cool bars and restaurants and what the latest scene is before it' becomes mainstream.

that's all i can think of . i don't wear skinny jeans or try to dress like an old lady with ugly dresses that some of the hipster girls wear.

Larrys sounds more like a coming out of the closet thread

All the people I know in the UK detest Harry Potter and share your exact sentiment.

I think I may have posted this on Xiola, but anyway, it's funny:

I have pictures of my Dad from the 70's that would fit right in on this web site, in fact, some of them are way funnier than many of the pictures here. I'm going to send them in some day.

me too and Lord of the Rings. I sat through one of those 3 hour marathon nightmares once, felt like three weeks

[Larry B.]

but did you hate them before anyone else?

[Hokahey]

I always thinks it's good to be reminded that someone was cool before I was. And I'm not at all a hipster but dammit, I think I'm pretty cool. Thanks for this link. I feel this guy was ripped off by that one liquor company that posts images about how cool your dad was and how you should drink what he drank...

[Larry B.]

My dad was never cool, but I'm hella cool. Specially because I say 'hella'.

[sinep]

if you think saying "hella" is cool, never come to southern california.

ever.

you'd fit in perfectly right up north though.

Exactly! Tolkien lived about 3 miles away from me now and I still think he's shit. Not that my opinion is necessarily valid as his stories include three of the biggest grossing films of all time. I just don't get it. The same as I just don't get Harry Potter. I probably would be wanking all over it (and Hermione) if I was 10, but I'm not. I don't really understand adults who cannot wait for children's books/films to come out. It all seems a bit Fred West to me.

[perkana]

ok, I'm tired to look for Fred West, but I did jump on the Harry Potter bandwagon...just watch the third movie, Alfonso Cuarón never understood why he was picked to direct it after doing "Y tu mamá también".

[Pure Method]

it's easily my favorite of the harry potter movies.

[Bandit72]

ok, I'm tired to look for Fred West, but I did jump on the Harry Potter bandwagon...just watch the third movie, Alfonso Cuarón never understood why he was picked to direct it after doing "Y tu mamá también".

Frederick Walter Stephen West (29 October 1941 – 1 January 1995), was a British serial killer. Between 1967 and 1987, he and his wife Rosemary, tortured, raped and murdered at least 11 young women and girls, many at the couple's homes. The majority of the murders occurred between May 1973 and September 1979 at their home in Gloucester. Rosemary West also murdered Fred's stepdaughter (his first wife's biological daughter) Charmaine, while he was serving a prison sentence for theft. During this time they resided at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester. The house was demolished in 1996 and was converted into a landscaped footpath connecting Cromwell Street to St. Michaels Square.
