My brother the hipster

[gogadgetgo]

He firmly cemented his fate by posting this on IG/FB. I don't know where my parents went wrong with that one

[gogadgetgo]

Does he have facial hair? Skinny/cropped pants? Eclectic taste in music? Then there's no avoiding it!

If facial hair is a requirement, it's pretty tough for many Asian peeps to be hipsters.

In any event, there's got to be more to being a hipster than just this.

This is practically everybody.  LOL.

No cropped/skinny, but he does wear that "new" raw (?) denim that you don't wash.

Yes to the rest!

So he never washes his jeans? Like, ever?

And I don't have any experience with Pabst.

So I don't really get what this means.

My definition of hipster is someone who makes CERTAIN
1.  to look like children did crafts to make their clothing
2.  like their haircuts will be MUCH better after they sharpen the kitchen scissors for next time
3.  like high schoolers did engineering expo projects to make their cars
4.  and that no one has ever heard of any song they'd be caught dead mentioning in public.

Right?

Getting closer, yes!

*whispers* PBR is the only beer I like, but I've been drinking it for like 10 years.....

[ohiowan]

Gaaaawd, I'm pretty sure h would kill for those shoes. He loves PBR. In spite if his giant beard, I swear he's not a hipster!

My cousin was into this for a while. I think you can put them in the freezer to help the smell, probably by killing bacteria? Yum!

That's so nasty. Ball sweat.

So, would you say you liked PBR before it was cool?

He says he hasn't yet. I think he got them in June or July? His wife says he doesn't smell; I'm not sure if I believe her. Apparently this is a thing, not him being lazy (like I originally suspected).

Um, clothing should be designed to be washed at some point. This isn't hipster, it's just gross.

[Deleted]

You wash raw denim eventually.

You just don't wash for awhile, so the raw denim gets your natural creasing over time.

Then, when the jeans are broken-in and truly "yours," you can wash.

Damn straight.

If I were 15 years younger, I'd be a hipster and proud. LOL.

[shell24]

My H drinks PBR but only because it's cheap. He is definitely not a hipster.

I don't think I would ever correlate PBR and hipster.

I think I'd still be one, except it's probably over once you hit 30. There must be a different term for it, hopefully not "pathetic."

hisno1girl would have a stroke if anyone she knew did this. I'm pretty sure she doesn't even use a bath towel more than once before washing it. 

You are right on both accounts.

YOUR ASSHOLE SWEATS, YOU DIRTY HIPSTER and you don't remedy that situation by putting your ass sweat jeans next to the pork roast you're having for dinner the next day!

Bath towels: Once and done!

PBR is a hipster drink?

H and brother drink it and they are far from hipster. It was even my 93 year old Grandma's beer of choice when she was alive and I'm pretty sure she had never even heard the word hipster.

Well done.


It tastes like piss, but at least it tastes like SOMETHING!

[jane6672]

We used to listen to old time radio shows on cassette when we were kids (Green Hornet, Baby Snooks and Daddy, etc.) and they often had the old commercials included.

As a result, I know this old Pabst Blue Ribbon jingle.

I feel like in LA, is's super common to be "hipster" all the way to late 30s. At least, it's common in the dating scene. LOL.

And by that I mean - they're still baristas and have 3 roommates. Not just that they dress in flannel with black frame glasses but have good jobs. LOL.

Maybe there is a correlation between the 30+ hipsters and their single status.

[swimmette]

Pabst is considered hipster? Around here it's cheap "country" beer. It is the beer that is a dollar a can and highly publicized at all of the local bars that are in the more middle of cornfields, never ID, have tractors parked outside, basically have a camo dresscode, etc. No redneck judging here as I clearly frequent these bars.

Pretty much the same here!  Hipsters are few and far between around here...or worse yet, they're hipster wannabes!

If we're looking for the original hipster, put my grandpa in the running...he would have been 101 this year, and PBR was his favorite.  However, he was a farmer.  Hmm...forget Urban Homesteader, he was a Rural Homesteader! Haha

[demelza]

Pbr is embraced by both hipsters and country redneck types. I am neither but I like it too! Lol so cheap.
