What the fuck is up with these closet dwelling hispters in Allston. You know the ones, with that stupid fucking Allston look. Where did they come from, and what are they doing here besides working at Blanchards and the Newbury Comics factory. The guys all have female physiques, and the girls look like Alanis Morisette after she was broken into millions of pieces and glued together. You fucking hispters think you are being different, yet you reak of conformity and clove cigarettes. Next time some hipster leaves a coaster over his/her drink to go outside and smoke, don't be surprised when you come back and the coaster is upside down and there are pubes and dick cheese swimming around in the drink after I created a whirlpool in there with my helmet. Don't worry, it wont be hard to find me, I will be standing right there with my fly down waiting for you to make a move, you wont.
If you want to look like this, move to fucking Montreal with all the frog eating boot lickers. Don't turn Boston into some loser refugee camp.

I have to agree with you - I'm a 20 something and you don't see me or my boyfriend gallovanting around like idiots with big sunglasses and jeans that you have to peel off with a knife. Don't get me started with their "woe is me" attitudes either. You know damn well they are all spoiled little rich kids whom their parents rendered retarded and now they can't get jobs without mommy holding their hands. I was walking in Allston the other day having just gone to the pet shop and I was talking to my boyfriend about a dog we saw and this hipster on the corner says "I hate sentimental things..." Oh you're so emo...you know damn well she goes home and hugs a goddamn care bear. I can't wait till this trend is over. I hope they're all gonna enjoy being bike messengers.

These hipsters have chicken legs for kids that ride bikes everywhere. Remember last year when that hipster got t-boned by that car outside the Sports Depot. I guess he wasn't trendy or hip enough to stay out of traffic on Cambridge Street. I bet he peeled the red decal off his bike because it didn't fit in with his cool style, it was harshing his buzz. I remember being in a cab on Cambridge street that night, if I had been there 5 minutes earlier I could have seen it. What shit luck.
AHAHA. I live in Boston, and the infestation in Allston, Cambridge, and Jamaica Plain is out of control. I swear that they must literally make up 75% of the population in Cambridge. Every other person in Harvard Square has an Iraqi scarf and neon Nikes. Very original.

Because of the rise of various online photo-blog and social networking sites, insights into urban hipster culture is reaching sheltered suburban audiences at an exponential rate. Cultural "norms" have been deconstructed by hipster culture as a whole and thus is effecting widespread changes in society. In a sense, hipsterism is the new mainstream, and that has led to feelings of insecurity and resentment in people who are no longer a part of the cultural ruling class. For example, a lot of anti-hipster sentiment evidently comes from "tough guy" macho types who feel that the more sensitive, intelligent, and culturally aware hipster ideal threatens their insecure sense of masculinity. Anti-hipster sentiment often comes from people who simply can't keep up with social change and are envious of those who can. Remember...you can always rate the amount of insecurity someone has by the amount they rant about hipsters.

The gayest ass group to ever say the word fuck. Should be taken out into the middle of nowhere and be strangeled, shot, spit on, pissed on, cut up with a knife, ran over and then hung by a rope on the tallest thing around. Then be taken down with the rope still on and be fed to wild animals and the remains be sent to an infested dumpster to be finished off by maggots, flies, ants and eventually bacteria. Fuck hipsters, the little faggots the name should be the shitster pussies. Fuck the cocaine and everyone associated with the faggot ass little group or the fucking homosexual indie bands. They should be going to a gay rehab clinic instead of a drug rehab clinic. Well basically what i'm tryin to say is FUCK HIPSTERS

HA HA... BUNCH OF HIPSTERS GOT ROBBED AT SHITTY DAN DEACON CONCERT
Of course they were into it. We were easy prey. The geeky, scrawny white kids--many of which looked ridiculous--had their backs were turned, allowing these "thugs" to easily rummage through our bags that we naively expected to be safely stashed. My lady and I had let down our guards, in order to loosen up and have fun, but also because of our unwillingness to hold prejudiced feelings towards people based solely on how they looked. Though we were naïve enough to set down our bags, we kept a watchful eye on the culprits. Those watchful eyes watched those young assholes steal all of her cash (leaving her without a dime for food for the entire rest of the month) and a credit card. We acted just in time to grab our bags before they made with the big heist. The thief who had stolen my friend's money had his hand on my camera bag, while we plucked it away without confrontation.
We quickly made our way to security to warn of the theft that had been taking place. The culprits were fully aware that they had been caught, and quickly made their way to an escape. While the security staff could have easily taken action and saved a lot of kids from the disappointment of losing a lot of money and valuables, they decided to let the thieves pass by unquestioned.....

Anyone who embraces a youthful and edgy urban style, who enjoys going to rock shows and divey-type bars is labeled a hipster these days, These people represent a significant fraction of the under-30 population in this city who enjoy keeping up with the latest in nightlife, music, art, and culture. Hipterism is the new mainstream, and basically anyone with an healthy and active social life is a "hipster".
Now...isn't it funny how so many anti-hipster posters on here try to use "hipster" is an insult? This group of people labeled "hipsters" don't actually refer to themselves as "hipsters", and they certainly don't care what is thought of them by anonymous CL trolls. Whatever you want to label it, "hipster" culture is thriving and spreading in NYC. "Hipsters" are out partying, enjoying life, meeting new friends, and probably getting laid while the anti-hipster hate mongerers are sitting alone behind their computer screens resenting anyone else out there who is out having fun. I'm sure the group of people labeled as "hipsters" would much rather prefer doing whatever they're doing, than to switch places with the anti-hipsters on here.
Judging from their comments, a lot of anti-hipster sentiment evidently comes from "tough guy" non-intellectual homophobic macho types who feel that the more sensitive, intelligent, and culturally aware hipster ideal threatens their insecure sense of masculinity. At some point in their lives they probably got mocked and ridiculed, or even had beer poured all over their heads, by some downtown girl with a tatoo (aka "hipster") after trying to pull some lame move on them. If you think about it, in some ways the entire hipster revolution came about to mock and ridicule such people and their mentalities.It's not about meat and muscle anymore. Anti-hipster sentiment often comes from people who simply can't keep up with social change and are envious of those who can. Remember...you can always rate the amount of insecurity someone has by the amount they rant about hipsters.

Dear Josh:
Fuck you. Your retarded hipster movement represents my worst nightmare...intellectual de-evolution. No one is threatened by you.. we are disgusted. You are spoiled pod people who let corporations do your thinking for you. I guess its easier to copy & purchase (NOT UNDERSTAND)80's fashion, art and music than to create an original movement. Or..is that what your hipster statment is...de-evolution..don't think just buy. You can't buy coolness...which just what you assholes are tying to do. Stop appropriating.
Love,
Taffey Dollar

Plus, even your little argument about "tough guy" non-intellectual homophobic macho types who feel that the more sensitive, intelligent, and culturally aware hipster ideal threatens their insecure sense of masculinity..is appropriated from 1980's androgeny. Stop immitating your parents and be yourselves. Why don't you know who you are?

Listen Shit-for-Brains, nobody cares that Hipsters enjoy partying or having a good time. People care that they HAVE BEEN PRICED OUT OF NYC BY THESE SHITFACES!!!
People who once lived in the East Village and who could survive as writers or artists while temping in Wall Street and now must commute 50 miles to work because the rents are so fucking overpriced. Those people fucking care!!
Not to mention how they diluted every once-cool art form and turned Lower Manhattan into suburban Minneapolis while raising the prices on everything from hot-dogs to clothing.
Now, go ram a keg of Pabst up your Ass and please, make a video of it and post on Youtube or Ogrish so we can all have a good laugh at you.
Now excuse me while I go back to work to pay taxes and rent.

The ignorant anti-hipster ranters on here would like to have you believe that their hated of hipsters is based on the perception that hipsters are responsible for gentrification and rent increases. The idea that hipsters are solely responsible for gentrification is already highly debatable. Intelligent discourse would tell you that the root causes of gentrification are multi-factorial, and include greedy developers and landlords, our capitalistic economic system, as well as whoever might moving into a gentrifying neighborhood to feed into the system...hipster or not. In fact, gentrification also takes place in neighborhoods that don't have a high hipster populations at all. An example of this would be the expansion of Columbia University into "Manhattanville" in West Harlem (http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/property/2006/05/columbias_manha.html). Clearly there is more to gentrification than just hipsters alone. Anti-hipster sentiment based on gentrification is not only misplaced and misguided, but is really a manifestation of deeper psychological issues.
An interesting observation on these anti-hipster ranters are their failed attempts to hijack online "hipster blogs" with their incoherent babble. These blogs often document various cultural activities in the city, and upon closer inspection of pictures therein, you'll find many people who don't fit a hipster stereotype at all, but are all thoroughly enjoying themselves. Of course, anti-hipster ranters still shout "hipster" at anyone and everyone they don't agree with. If you own an Ipod, they will call you "hipster". If you've ever gone to Starbucks, they will call you "hipster". If you are a freelancer and have your own work hours, they will call you "hipster". If you own any clothing from a thrift store or have edgy urban fashion sensibilities, they will call you "hipster". If you listen to bands on an indie record label, they will call you "hipster". If your hair is a little messy or scruffy, they wil call you "hipster". If you drink cheap beer like PBR, they will call you "hipster". If you are vegan, they will call you "hipster". If you simply exist, they will call you "hipster".

Social attitudes and fashion trends that were revived over 15 years ago by creative types in Williamsburg have now been re-established into the mainstream and are gaining popularity at an exponential rate, in part due to the rise of the internet and various online social networking and photo-blog sites. Everyone from college students to investment bankers are adopting elements of hipsterism, to some degree, in one form or another these days. In a sense, the hipsters have won as they have successfully "hipsterized" modern day sensibilities. "Hipsters" are out partying, enjoying life, meeting new friends, and probably getting laid while the anti-hipster hate mongerers are sitting alone behind their computer screens resenting anyone else out there who is out having fun. I'm pretty sure the group of people they label "hipsters" would much rather prefer doing whatever they're doing, than to switch places with the anti-hipster ranters on here. Hipsters represent a significant fraction of the under-30 population in this city who enjoy keeping up with the latest in nightlife, music, art, and culture.
What does this all really mean? Anti-hipster sentiment is really based on a resentment of people who have healthier and more fulfilling social lives. Judging from their comments, a lot of anti-hipster sentiment evidently comes from "tough guy" non-intellectual homophobic macho types who feel that the more sensitive, intelligent, physically slimmer, and culturally aware hipster ideal threatens their insecure sense of masculinity. At some point in their lives they probably got mocked and ridiculed, or even had beer poured all over their heads, by some downtown girl with a tattoo (aka "hipster") after trying to pull some lame move on them. If you think about it, in some ways the entire hipster revolution came about to mock and ridicule such people and their mentalities. It's not about meat and muscle anymore.

Regarding the comment on the person struck by the car on Cambridge Street. I hope you aren't referring to Kelly Wallace, who died in that accident:
