I've met a real hipster lvl 1000 before "hipsters" were even coined back in high school. This guy was an actual asshole. Not the jock "haha dude you fucking suck YEAHHH FOOTBALL AND WEED BITCH IMA SHOVE YOU IN A LOCKER YOU UGLY ASS UNPOPULAR NERD BECAUSE YOU PLAY COMPUTER GAMEZ" kind of jock.
He was intellectual, liked things that were kind of "unknown" because he was smart. He can explain and argue with you about shit that he's knowledgeable of. He speaks fluent german, japanese and french and is also very artistic (he once drew einstein in 8th grade, as in VERY VERY WELL and it was hung in the school)
The problem is, he's got a huge head. He's aware that he's able to do all this shit. So he rubs it in peoples faces. He has to let you know that he is exceptionally smart and far more superior than you and will not carry on a normal person to person conversation, but instead he'll use "intellectual" words to make you feel like a dumbass, BUT THOSE who actually KNOW what he's saying ------ he actually doesnt know what the fuck he's talking about as he's just throwing in adjectives and synonyms of the same adjective in the sentence.
He had to dress "intellectual" too. As in he's got to let people know physically and mentally that HE IS IN FACT A GENIUS. Yes that's what he said. He's "Gifted". He dressed with a coat as in the office blazer type (remember this was back in 8th grade til high school) with a plain colored shirt- some dress pants, a scarf, and a french "art" hat with glasses and a god damn cane. He usually brings in a pipe "just for show" and "to go with his outfit". What happened to this kid after we graduated? (note that he wasnt even a valedictorian in our highschool when we graduated) He's supposedly "working on being a dj now and will be deadmau5 popular in about 3 years" - that's his exact words.
As for the whole hipster deal - I get called a fucking hipster all the time. Because I wear glasses and liked things before they became mainstream. It just upsets me when I show a friend something and they're like "urgh god that sucks so bad dude why do u even like that?" and after awhile, that thing I showed that person becomes popular and mainstream --- suddenly they like it. I'm like WHEN I SHOWED YOU THAT, YOU DISSED ME - NOW THAT IT'S POPULAR YOU'RE ALL OF THE SUDDEN INTO IT NOW? What was wrong with me showing you? Why did you only like it when it became mainstream?
And for the glasses deal, fuck all those people who say I wear glasses with no "MEDICATION" (YES THAT'S THEIR WORD WHAT THE FUCK?) -- I've worn glasses (and actually hated them a lot) since I was 9 because I've destroyed my eyes sitting so close in front of CRT tvs and monitors growing up. I had braces and glasses at the age of 10 and i looked so fucking ugly. Anyway, nowadays they ask "are your glasses even medicated?" I just respond with "Bro, wanna try them?" and they do..... they respond with "HOLY SHIT YOU'RE BLIND" well fuck bro go to hell.
As far as being teased of being a hipster - I've learned a way to deal with it. Moo once told me that he always got teased because of the stereotype of asians having tiny dicks. So he told me that he played along and creeped the motherfuckers out. "Haha you have a tiny dick cuz ur asiannn" and he responds with "Yeah shits so fucking tiny its the size of my pinky. Wanna see it?" and they respond with "Oh god what the fuck stop that shit" and I took his footsteps.
bitch.
EDIT:
This was the band that went after my friends bands did. They were REALLY GOOD too. The lead singer was black. He was different. He had dreads and wore black skinnies and a white v-neck with glasses - he was cute! He was SO FUCKING nice. Really cool! I shook his hand and told him that his band sounded great and he made sure I got a poster! He gave me a poster!
But yeah here check them out too!
