One thing I hate in a similar vein to your gripe is the veneration of beards and facial hair. No you do not look like some manner of lumberjack nor is your beard 'epic', you just look like a tit.
Also, 'epic'. I think that's been mentioned.
As much as a I know smoking is bad for me and the people around me, I just don't want stop. Partially I think I may have a bit of an invincibility complex because my chain-smoking grandmother just turned 76 a few weeks ago.
Owning and actively purchasing vinyl is not ''hipster''.

My Great-Grandmother lived until she was 80 in 2006 and chain-smoked since she was probably about 16, but so did my Grandmother and she ended up having a brain haemorrhage at the age of 56, about two and a half years ago, which she survived but now can't talk or move barely, now living in a care home, and her younger sister who also smoked, passed away from heart failure within the year after. I'm not saying they were definitely caused by smoking, but it is said to greatly increase the risk - so for the good of your own health and your family/friends, I would really suggest you try stopping.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;40665267]"Hipster" is just a buzz word anyway. If you like old music, video games, movies, or you hate [B][U][I]ANYTHING[/I][/U][/B] mainstream, you can get labeled as a "hipster".
Surely not everyone likes everything that's popular. I just think it's a stupid word to use as an insult seeing as though almost everybody is a "hipster".[/QUOTE]
Isn't a "hipster" one who does it just to be that special snowflake?
''Hipster'' is more of a subculture than a term or buzzword.

Clue's in the name, ''hip''.

Vinyl are awesome and sound great. Unfortunately it can be an expensive hobby.
Valve has done a lot of stupid shit that they should be criticized harsher for, but people tend to ignore it and let it slide because they're not part of EA or some shit.

Depends on where you shop, I usually get my vinyl for around £5. It helps that most of my vinyl purchases are just old House records as well.
I like the hipster style.

Pretty much, also: EA may not be the best around, but they get a lot more flak than they deserve.

It depends what kind of vinyls you are collecting, some are extremely rare and were only printed a limited amount. A friend of mine has some truly rare ones, they cost a ludicrous amount of money.

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;40660493]i hate people that glorify "gentlmen" and stuff
like people who think tophats and moncoles are cool, who unironically say "gentlemen" and "gents" or "class."
i mean shut up you big fat nerdo[/QUOTE]
nobody does this...
but "glorifying higher class" makes sense, the bullshit about tophats and monocles does not, we're not in the 20s.

for something that has been sold a few billion times in the last 100 years you'd think people would have sense.

Best game ever, currently my most played game ever.
Fuck your shitty skyrim and bioshock
Doug Walker is funny.
"But all his humor is shouting and screaming."
So is AVGN, and I've seen him treated much in higher regard than NC here.

It still astounds me that that game is like the 3rd most popular game on Steam, I honestly don't understand the appeal whatsoever.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;40671793]Skyrim was fucking terrible.[/QUOTE]
That is not really an unpopular opinion. Most people I talk to hate skyrim.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;40672253]Not around here. Everyone that I know who has played it says it's their favorite game, and that's about...15 people or so? More than 10 for sure.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=BenJammin';40672000]That is not really an unpopular opinion. Most people I talk to hate skyrim.[/QUOTE]
In that case, here's a really unpopular opinion: Skyrim was neither bad nor amazing.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;40667781]The Nostalgia Critic, while he has his flaws (and made several mistakes, including that awful Demo Reel series.), is still one of my favorite internet reviewers.[/QUOTE]
I like his top 11 videos where he just talks about stuff and offers his insight. I really wish he would just drop the comedy angle in his nostalgia critic reviews though. Its awkward, almost painfully so.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;40671793]Skyrim was fucking terrible.[/QUOTE]
More like Bethesda are terrible developers that create very buggy, unpolished games with poor writing. Not saying that the Elder Scrolls sucks but without the modding, nobody would really like it that much. I feel like the modding is correcting the fuckups of Bethesda which should not be the case.
I really liked Skyrim though.
Angry Video Game Nerd is not entertaining.
Nirvana is an awful band.
I don't understand why people hate Disturbed so much. I think they're ok, not the best ever but they're ok.
Castlevania 3 is the best NES game, and also the hardest. It's harder than Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2.
Castlevania 3 is basically Castlevania 1 which was perfection, but with way higher production quality, probably some of the best graphics on the NES as well.
memes can be funny if used in the right context
besides they're like internet inside jokes
I find Beatles to be quite overrated
the worst fanboys/fandommembers/people in no particular order. please note that these are all in their extremes. if you get offended by this, you're probably part of one of those extremes :V
whovians
homestuck fans
valve fanboys
pc gamers
redditors
imgurers (aka redditors .75)
conceited internet atheists
MRAs
didn't include the ~popular~ people to hate because they never bother me in a near daily basis.
so i guess this is a popular opinion, but it isn't popular because i included pc gamers and valve fanboys?
[editline]17th May 2013[/editline]
also whomp is the worst webcomic
almost tim buckley tier
[editline]17th May 2013[/editline]
also another one: people with dumb almost-porn animated gif avatars of women are awful because that's gross and annoying. i mean, somebody'd probably get banned in an instant if they had a gif of a guy almost showing off his dick or something.
A good deal of furries/bronies are actually relaxed people who don't give a shit about the rest of their respective communities and just want to quietly enjoy the images/show. The immature/easily offended ones are the only ones you ever see because the quiet ones keep their interests to themselves.

yeah exactly
you never see any moderate bronies or furries register on facepunch to start a flamewar in the DA appreciation thread or something, they're too busy not being big babies over stupid shit only babies would care about
