Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!

[PrettySquareGal]

Exactly. I grew up with no concept of "cool" or any aspiration to be "cool." I was taught that I should work hard, be responsible, and live up to my obligations, and that all of these things would be expected of me as an adult, so I'd better start learning them as a kid, and that's all there was to it. The idea of "cool" never entered into any of it.

Same here, at least prior to moving to NYC as a kid. To me, cool was what The Fonz said.

I love "Leave it to Beaver" because there is NO IRONY, yet it is one of those most trashed shows for being innocent.

My only childhood frame of reference for Cool:

Nope. You should be born and have a cool hat put on your head.

 

[LizzieMaine]

No, you should have a hat because it looks good on you and it keeps your head warm. Not because some outside force has told you that it's "cool." Reject the whole concept of "cool" and you will know true freedom.

yes, you have a good point there. I was being ironic.

No no it's just a term to be meant as in "Nice hat dude" not so much because of it's cool in the context we're
using the word cool.My personal opinion only,I don't really care if people don't like what I wear I enjoy it and that's really all that should matter?

True but hipsters want it to be made as some kind of backlash against The Man.

Me wonders how many fedora-wearing chaps follow that rule? :lol:

Depends on the brim I imagine. Wide brim, more classic look, narrow to non-existent - hipster :lol:

Butte it was all in reference to Miss Lizzie's post that trying to look cool in your 20s,30,40s just means your not an adult so I posted I could go buy a "cool" hat cause I'm in my 50s not so much in the meaning of trying to look cool.As far as that goes 1973 I would have been 14 I'm the kid that's wearing Tie Dyed long sleeve shirts with a cowboy hat..how not cool is that.

 

[Feraud]

What's all this talk about hipsters and fedoras? That's so yesterday. Burly is in. You aren't ironic unless you sport a crochet beard.

 

[LizzieMaine]

"Hmmm, I haven't seen YOU at any of the union meetings."

 

[Feraud]

"I'm only here for the ironic appreciation of the beards and flannel", spoke the hipster.
