Death by hip replacement.

Hating hipsters is being a hipster.

[–]PancakesAreGone 1 point2 points ago

What isn't hipster anymore though?

Pandas. They have always been cool, they will always be cool, and everyone loves them.

And jeans. To quote Andy French, "Jeans are the classic cool".

I'm fairly sure this is a remark about the early hipsters who hung out with and acted like some of the more hip black people. This is the equivalent to someone with that says "Death to wiggers"

shhhh. dont rain on reddit's parade.

It gets worse. Early on, "hipster" referred to mainly black jazz musicians.

[–]Self_Manifesto 1 point2 points ago

They were hipster before hipster was hipster. Hipster.

[–]AutoexecDotNet 1 point2 points ago

We're gonna have to go deeper.

In the Wolof language of West Africa, the word "hepicat" means "one who has his eyes open." Some etymologists believe that 'Hepicat' could also have led to other derived words, such as hippie, hipster and hip.

[–]Paumanok 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for that. It's interesting, i never thought of african languages effecting english like that.

[–]Khanstant 2 points3 points ago

Potato salad is nasty. Mayonnaise is gross. These aren't jokes or clever comments, just strongly held personal opinions communicated as facts.

[–]thelosthansen 1 point2 points ago

Eat the yummy potato salad?

The word had a different meaning back then. This photo looks 30-plus years old.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

wow you actually got downvoted for that. just further proves that no one on reddit knows what a hipster is.

[–]shitterplug 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yep. That's what happens when you go against the hive. Reddit thinks hipsters have always been the fixie riding douche bags, even though beatniks were refereed to as hipsters in the 40's and 50's.

[–]MidSolo 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Honestly, I remember when bashing on hipsters was cool, now everyone does it and it kind of takes the fun away from it. Kind of the same as the Chuck Testa meme. Kind of the same as any meme. Kind of the same as anything.

TL;DR: we're all hipsters

[–]jackele 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Surely apart from the guys who still find memes as fun as when they came out?

Chuck Testa? yep. Friday? yep. Hipsters? yep. I guess I'm just not as cool as you guys. But I do love a good meme, whether everyone knows about it or not.

[–]Kenny_Login 0 points1 point ago

This is both the top comment and most downvoted comment in this thread. A real paradox.

[–]i_want_more_foreskin 4 points5 points ago

Unfortunately, "hipsters" used to mean "black people"...

My grandma likes hipsters (she doesn't know to call them that) because they wear the same clothes as she does.

She's so cool now.

GrandMA? Looks like GrandPA w/boobs.

[–]loyalcitizen 0 points1 point ago

I think she is railing against Hipsters, the metal replacement hip manufacturers that recently had a recall. That would be painful.

[–]echeese 0 points1 point ago

For some reason, one is reminded of those Maxine cartoons.

Sexy body! I think I speak for everyone by humbly requesting more pics. For science. Preferably with less clothing.

[–]PencilMan 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

She probably means the hipsters of the 20s. You know, the ones who actually were hip.

One could say that they were hip before being hip was ironic.

[–]goshfyde 0 points1 point ago

To bad she will be the one who is underground soon.

[–]palindromic 0 points1 point ago

It's going to be weird in 40 years when you have all these grandma's with birds tattooed on their chest and crazy vine patterns on their backs and unicorns on their thighs and shit.

I was wearing that hat before grandma was

[–]ropers 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You do realise that given the original definition of "hipster", her reason for wearing that shirt is probably because she hates blacks and black culture?

[–]AYONEEGUH 0 points1 point ago

She was cool before you could spell cool

poor photoshop.

  • 'death to' is slanted slightly left
  • 'hipsters' is slanted slightly right
  • the bottoms of the s and the t in hipsters don't line up
  • 'hipsters' is over wrinkled.

she hated hipsters before there were hipsters… but doesn't that make her a hipster? {Mind Explodes}

the term hipster originated in the 60s

Hipsters are going to wear that, though. It'll be... 'ironic'.

[–]idonotpostoften -1 points0 points ago

This doesn't help.

It'd be so ironic that they'd actually purchase a shirt like this.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They'd purchase a shirt with her on it.

[–]grubas -1 points0 points ago
