I don't even know what a hipster is anymore. I feel like people are incorrectly labeled "hipsters" if they do any of the following: listen to music that's not mainstream, wear second-hand clothes, ride bicycles, drink coffee, wear think-rimmed glasses, deny being a hipster after being called a hipster, etc. It seems that the word has turned into a pejorative that's synonymous with "pretentious snob."

My sociology professor one time was talking about how hipsters ruined the lower east side in NYC. There's also this girl I see on the transit bus all the time with a patch on her backpack that says "Die hipster scum! Seriously, you suck fucking ass."
yeah that's exactly what i said before. the word 'hipster' is utterly useless. all meaning has been eroded, people have misappropriated it so many times it has just become some kind of generic insult. it makes me cringe more than anything.
I use that term to fuck with the friends I have that listen to indie music. Not because I have a problem with it, but because it gets under their skin and is major source of amusement for me.

Now the word used to be used to insult that subculture that wears fake glasses, where skinny jeans from American outfitters, hangs out at Starbucks, but most importantly do it to fit in. Because six months previously, they were listening to rap music or country music or whatever. Trends are just marvelously stupid and entertaining to make fun of.
I know what the term can be used for and I know what it has been used for, I just think it's used entirely incorrectly.
Your post was an example really. Not that I really want to get into the finer definition of "hipster" (ugh) but trend jumping is not something hipsterism was originally or ever associated with.

Country music was definitely never a hipster trend, unless you consider the Avett Brothers or Mumford & Sons to be "country." Real country today is anything but a trend, and the kind of "country" that becomes popular fucking sucks.

I was referring to people who switch fads on a yearly or seasonal basis.

I think that since the FOX unit was part of the CIA, that they'd have given Zero some specifications to how it would be acceptable to run things, which probably meant that bagging your turds and carrying them around with you was tossed out the window, it'd be stupid anyway since even if it was bagged, the stench would've leaked out eventually, and I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure I'd be able to smell it if some random guy was crawling through the bushes carrying a bag of his own shit, especially if he put that and urinated in the same bag...yeah...not very stealthy.

You're thinking of trendies. It's like they went from punk to emo to preppy to raver to hipster in the time I've been paying attention.

WHO SAID THAT? I will personally stick my hand up their rear.


I hate it when people say that such and such is "gay".

That was the gayest game ever.

That dude's gay, yo...

That reminds me, I'm glad I stopped that mess because years ago I'd say that a lot. xD

But the greatest abhorrence comes whenever people try to claim that their "accusation" is real. >.<

I agree with -¥Alicia¥-, I can't stand when people substitute the word 'gay' for 'stupid' or 'weird' or 'lame'.

I also don't like fag or faggot, a derogatory term for gay people.

Aaah 'banter'. There's a fine line between banter and coming across as a prick. Or so I've been told. With those exact words.

Also with the whole use of the word 'fag' etc. Could you not argue that although it's used now as a homophobic slur, over time the meaning has change. If it was to be used in different situations that label could lessen it's association with degrading homosexuals and take a new meaning again. Whereas if it's not used that tag is there forever.

YOLO and SWAG are at the top of my list.
I also hate when people say, 'That offends me!'. I understand some things are offensive, ya ya I get it, but I hear it a lot when someone is listening to someone else's opinion. THAT brings my piss to a boil.
