[QUOTE=thisispain;25622813][QUOTE=thisispain;25622721]let me guess, you have an android phone?[/QUOTE]i'm sorry, it's just when i hear people judge others based on their choice of phone the first thing that comes to mind is hipster[/QUOTE]

Also, total and complete irony.

[QUOTE=Doriol;25631604]"how am I making shit up," the hipster asked himself

the definition of a guitarist is a person who plays a guitar. you're making up bullshit qualifications for being a guitarist[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;25631616]all hipsters are pretentious[/QUOTE]

A. do you consider yourself better than a hipster

B. where is the empirical evidence for this

That will go over everyone's heads because your posts are so chopped up that they don't connect. It would be like making an inside joke among a bunch of new friends.

well not all societies are the same, if he meant something other than the actual definition he should have said so

"Intentional irony", backpedal more please.

Its implied....but I guess not everyone gets implications...evidence being the guy that missed your intentional irony.

but facepunch does that all the time

and that's not empirical

you guys just post a picture of some random dude on the internet and put a caption to it, excuse me if i think that's immature and daft

[editline]24th October 2010[/editline]

please, don't act condescending towards me, you'll only prove my point

[Doriol]

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;25631656]

[/QUOTE]

what

did you learn what irony is from alanis morrisete or whoever

[Lord of Ears]

[QUOTE=thisispain;25631667]but facepunch does that all the time

it actually is empirical, i've been told that the music i listen to is too mainstream

[editline]25th October 2010[/editline]

[QUOTE=Doriol;25631679]what

did you learn what irony is from alanis morrisete or whoever[/QUOTE]

well uh
you just accused me of being pretentious and then you went on to say that the usual case is that unknown bands are much better than bands that are famous for being good

"I'm going to accuse the guys who are dissing on hipsters of being hipsters so I can watch them defend themselves."

[Swilly]

Reverse psychology for the win.

[Doriol]

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;25631680]
well uh
you just accused me of being pretentious[/QUOTE]

and your point is what

also hypocrisy =/= irony

[Lord of Ears]

[QUOTE=Doriol;25631690]and your point is what

also hypocrisy =/= irony[/QUOTE]

check again also irony is an observation of hypocrisy

[thisispain]

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;25631680]it actually is empirical, i've been told that the music i listen to is too mainstream[/QUOTE]

and that somehow gives you permission to create a stereotype based on nonsensical rantings to connect people you don't like and say naughty things about you

so you only hate hipsters because they said naughty things towards you

please, this would be akin to someone calling all smart people awkward nerds

[En-Guage V2]

lol, I'd rather be a hipster than a video game nerd like 80% of facepunch is

[Doriol]

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;25631698]check again also irony is an observation of hypocrisy[/QUOTE]

what are you even saying anymore

[Swilly]

[QUOTE=Doriol;25631705]what are you even saying anymore[/QUOTE]

He's getting hit on two sides, he's flustered and can no longer keep up with the comments rebuking his statements. Basically, he can't keep up with logical explanations anymore so he's going Mordin but not making sense.

[thisispain]

[QUOTE=animephreak135;25631686]"I'm going to accuse the guys who are dissing on hipsters of being hipsters so I can watch them defend themselves."[/QUOTE]

defend? hardly

the fact that you throw red herrings left and right proves that you are not really defending, more giving excuses for the odd and frankly awful things posted on this forum

[Lord of Ears]

[QUOTE=thisispain;25631702]and that somehow gives you permission to create a stereotype based on nonsensical rantings to connect people you don't like and say naughty things about you

well if i've been told by a hipster that my music is way too mainstream

and other people have also been told by hipsters that their music is too mainstream

then i think that maybe it's not coincidence

[Doriol]

hipsters don't even exist so why does this thread exist

[Lord of Ears]

it makes sense

irony and hypocrisy are essentially exchangeable but doriol is exceptionally nitpicky

[Doriol]

yes two words which are mutually exclusive are interchangeable because you're an idiot

[En-Guage V2]

[QUOTE=Doriol;25631733]hipsters don't even exist so why does this thread exist[/QUOTE]

Well, you're wrong

[thisispain]

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;25631726]well if i've been told by a hipster that my music is way too mainstream

and other people have also been told by hipsters that their music is too mainstream

then i think that maybe it's not coincidence[/QUOTE]

let me run this down again so you get it

[highlight]hipster is a name you and others created for people you don't like[/highlight]

there's no clear definition like white or blue, there's no clear scene going on, there's not even a clear music style i know metal heads that say people's music is too mainstream

but that doesn't matter, because that one dick that said something stupid once at a party needs a dehumanizing name, and hipster is, truly ironically, a fantastically hip name

therefor I concur, anyone who calls someone a hipster, is in fact, a hipster

i mean how else do you explain this:

- activision hate

- lady gaga hate

- in the news threads

- minecraft v to the nth degree

- valve love

- hatred for posers

these are things that are ironically hip because they are not hip, and espoused by facepunchers far and wide

[Swilly]

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;25631754]it makes sense

While in a vague sense, yes it usually can work. However you're going to run into people who won't get it because their abilities to think abstractly about the English language are blocked by logical defined rules.

And the true irony here is really thisisspain going around generalizing Facepunch users because he needs his own way of dehumanizing everyone else on this site.
