Post Hipster?

[mightyeskimo]

No its happening here in the UK too. As for the hipster coffee bars, I know this probably goes against the grain but my local McDonalds really does a good coffee first thing in the early morning. I find most of the 'artisan' and branded names do a weak flavourless brew fist thing....just saying.

I've always like Mickey D's coffee!

Seems to me the modern trend- make every place look like every other place. I call it the Walmartization of America, but I guess it just an American thing.

Not true IME. Traveling to other countries, I see it.

I watched this documentary recently, I found it very interesting.

This version is subtitled, the one I watched wasn't but I can't find that version...

I find the biggest irony of all is that the generation who grew up singing "My Generation" is now complaining about the younger generations.

Modern trend? Let's not forget suburbanization and the matchbox houses of the 1950's.

Oscar Wilde had a lot to say about fashion:
“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”

A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life.

Fashion: by which what is really fantastic becomes for a moment the universal.

The suburbs I will give you, but in most cities you could find local flavor.

I left out a word. It should have read “it isn’t just an American thing”.

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same...

Getting older comes with the privilege of complaining about younger people. It's a universal, time honored tradition.

With age comes wisdom. The kids have neither.

Yeah ... but these young kids will even screw that up when they get old.

Posing is always popular!

I don't mind hipsters in terms of what they do/like. They do their thing. I do mine.
But seriously dude, shave the tumbleweed off your face, and buy some decent-looking clothes!

Once upon a time there were beatniks. And then hippies, and yuppies. Hipsters.

What is next?

Same stuff, different name.

The bohemians of their generation.

As each successive generation does their "I'm so different" routine they all end up getting married, buying a house in the suburbs, selling out and getting a real job, buying a minivan and driving their kids to soccer practice. I can only imagine wearing leggings, beards, green hair and tatoos, being vegan and sitting in cafes, glued to your laptop and phone wears thin after a while.
