Do people still say 'hipster'

Go search #emo on Instagram. It's like going back in time. Scary

In Australia people use the term indie now. Its pretty much the same thing, it has a less pretentious stigma behind it though.

It's what people call Veeky Forumsggots. You don't see it from the inside.

You're literally talking out of your ass. Did you type this with your ass?

>sjw thing is what the hipsters turned in to.
This.

I live in a post-soviet country and even here nobody uses that as an insult anymore.

normie is the new square, however the paradigm has shifted to where the normies are actually the ones that look like hipsters (sjws) and edgelords are the ones that look like squares or normies. It's hilarious when you think about it, conservatives really did become the counter culture.

I put hipster in my snapchat name when it first came out back before hipster wasn't such a played out word.
I didn't think snapchat would actually take off or that you couldn't change your username. :7(

Snapchat released the end of 2011, hipster was already played out in 2009 you faggot.

check out this hipster numale scum

The teens who were hipsters in 2013 are now the balding 20 something nu males.

Their teen poseur successors are the alt kids who dress like le 80s (yes thats YOU, you fagot)

nah its sjw and nu-male now.

...

>tfw the nazis are the good guys again

what am I looking at? how is this relevant?

talin about hipstrs

You've obviously never been to coastal american, this place is fucking swarming with hipsters. Every single band plays indie shit and every diner is something 50-60's themed

Conservative viewpoints havent been in the mainstream conscious since 2000

As soon as 9/11 hit everything went to shit.

2017 - Cuck

cuck post alert, back to your safe space you sperg.

2017- Nu-male, cuck, snowflake, SJW, LGBTQWXYZ

It's literally the most embarrassing thread on this entire website.

There are diaper fetish threads and shit on this bitch - but this thread easily takes the cake as the #1 most awful thread of 2017.

The worst post of all time award goes to my man congrats buddy

conservatism isn't the counter culture. Tell yourself that all you'd like, but it's simply not true.

Butthurt Trump supporter.

What is is the current counterculture?

lol in what country / city /etc.. this varies so much idiot. you can't make massive sweeping statements like that

Didnt George bush won the 2004 elections?

Yeah? What is then? MTV approved PC cuckoldry? Marxists supported by mainstream media? "Anarchists" that vote for Hillary and protest free speech?

>I'm gonna pretend to be retarded and avoid the question, because I have no answer.
Oh, but dear user, you need not pretend, you ARE retarded.

yeah, but not by popular vote.

Its the same as now, where densley populated areas (where the majority of the population lies) are overhwelmingly liberal and small pockets of towns are all conservative.

On top of that our aging populaiton (who has historically been conservative) has been increasingly liberal as the 20 year olds from the 60s and 70s are becoming the 70-80 year olds today.

crinnnggggeeeee

w2c shirt

I think social media got so big it killed all subcultures and most kids just take what they like from each and there's no distinct identity anymore

I'm not making a statement you stupid som of a botch I'm asking a general question. It's the fucking 21st century and every western nation has an almost identical broad culture.

absolutely this
a dearth of fulfilling communities is killing america

>Oh, but dear user, you need not pretend, you ARE retarded.
cringe

Fucking this
I live in Houston Texas. The above anons are completely correct from where I live.

Nah, Faggot is the more common term

Maybe globally. In america, though, we have the most imperical proof that it's cut roughly even between left and right. Not only that, but the division also aligns perfectly with urban/rural populations.

Im not a hipster.. but I can make your hips stir;)

80% of former hipsters all wear streetwear and/or 90s memecore now, listen to hip hop instead of indie, and are sjws

10% became tricky dicky reddit malefashion dweebs

10% became fashionable, right leaning libertarian or fashy trump supporters

>implying being liberal is counter culture

hardest I've laughed all day

Yes, you fucking hipster cunt.

I feel like social media defined a norm then enforced living in a norm; it created a hammer down the nail effect.

Any new subculture would just get shamed before it really caught on. ex: There might be a person in your sub that hates Jews and all everyone would say is "holy fuck Emo's condone hating Jews because of that one guy, lets not let people be Emo #killallemos"

For a fashion trend to start you need to have abstract values that people can project themselves onto and defined styles. Social media amplifies the values of a person and styles get absorbed into the collective.

SJW is the exemplar of that because its entirely about values and has no real style except wear what you want to look cool in and fuck the rest.

Alt-Right showed how fast movements die in the social media paradigm. Here is something edgy and punk, could have grown into something interesting for nationalistic and angry people who are more intelligent and sensitive than skinheads to join with. Then Milo and Richard Spencer exploited it, CNN promoted it as a hate group and then it died in literally a few days.

You'll have to humor me and believe me that it wasn't originally anti-Jew or anti-minority but it was only aggressively anti-neocon and neoliberal.

Umm sorry about this post if it was offensive but I thought it would be a different take about why we really haven't had a new culture since hipster died fully in 2011.

I still think if left alone Alt-Right could have gotten its own bands and clothing styles. Its just impossible to be edgy anymore.

this

f*ck drumpf and f*ck white people

yea man sucking the sitting presidents and the majority partys dick is counter culture and also the new punk and no im not a virgin

can verify

Myspace pretty much caused the emo surge on its own. I honestly don't even know what the current trend is, SJW shit hasn't really hit here I am but emo and hipster shit used to be around. Everyone just looks like college normies such as pic related with the odd standout "alt girl" that likes indie and junk or some guy that looks like he went on Veeky Forums ocne and just bought all the meme clothes and wore them all at once.

>SJW

this is...not a category of dress

no i say bohemian as hipster is too mainstream

Unless there's a different name for this style, SJW is it.

"normies" is not a term that exists outside of Veeky Forums and it has nothing to do with the "hipster vs square" divide.
he's making an analogy towards how there were drug smoking free spirit hippies versus the tight laced, religious square conservatives of the 60s. it's a very distinct cultural thing.
/pol/shits are not edgy counter culturalists because they trigger femininists on facebook. they're not squares per se but they're usually dungeon dwelling socially retarded omegas. definitely not the cool kids.
I'm not claiming I'm a cool kid, Veeky Forums is the nerds really.

are conservatives really counter culture? they still pretty much run the world besides the media

it's called non committal tranny

They are. Pretty much all media (news, TV shows, movies, celebrities etc) plus a large amount of the population are all SJW progressives currently.

yeah, like the highest rated news channel, fox news, the endless stream of war propaganda films, endless super hero male power fantasy movies, and the republican president and house.
damn son, conservatives are almost as punk rock as the sex pistols.

a lot of movies are bullshit progressive shit though.

>mad max remake was literally just some cuck named max that sits in the bitch seat while a woman does everything

>most movies are feminist propaganda because one film has a female lead
>I'm wrapped up in arguing about identity politics on a chinese image board
>hardcore thrash punk brah

shit man idk even know anymore why i am even on here

i could right now be freezing a solid piece of my shit to shove up my ass later

I was called a hipster by a girl at a party recently for wearing my finest shiacore fit. I had sex with her later that night so maybe the word lost its negative connotation.

this conversation is reminding me of footage of mosh pits at a rage against the machine concert.

the term hipster originally described a left-wing leaning millennial style thats style was pretty much what Australians call indie these days. as the term grew it was applied to more and more contemporary subcultures such a the lumbersexual in 2012 and now the 90s vintage trend. the original hipsters (ezra koeing indie-core) have nothing to do with what it has become. it lost a lot of its meaning once it became associated with whatever mainstream trend that teenagers started wearing, rather than the original single style it used to once describe. It causes so much confusion because unlike many subcultures that develop from a music scene and thus have a fixed style, the word hipster has covered everything from indie music to hip hop.

>"normies" is not a term that exists outside of Veeky Forums and it has nothing to do with the "hipster vs square" divide.

>what is analogy

it's an improper analogy. in that it's not analogous to what the topic is about. did you just learn the term normie?

>by a girl
>at a party
>finest shiacore fit
>sex with her later

Yeah, none of that happened did it now buddy?

The term hipster dates from the 1950s and was used off and on since then. It was still used in the 90s: Elaine calls Kramer one in a Seinfeld episode. It originally referred pretty specifically to the culture of black jazz clubs and later came to be attached to the white people who went there and eventually moved on to being attached to pretty much everyone involved in the counter culture of the 1960s until it got overplayed. Eventually it came to be a label attached to anyone involved in some sort of counter culture. It just happened to make another resurgence only to be overused again. The usual cycle, we will probably see the term come into use again in couple decades.

>Marxists supported by mainstream media? "Anarchists" that vote for Hillary and protest free speech?

user, there are some people in the mainstream who have been called "communists" so long that they self apply the label, and the media likes to muddy the waters a lot about what marx actually believed and what anarchy actually is. The only Anarchist you are likely to know well if you watch the US media is Noam Chomsky. But shit like Food Not Bombs is not supported by the capitalist media. How can we control poor people if you give them free food and dignity?

I would argue that with the way the modern internet works, there is not one dominant counterculture, but many small communities working to support their lifestyles or make political change. You could argue that /pol/ is a counterculture, or that hardcore evangelical christians like Michael and Debi Perl are. You could also argue that the polyamory community is counterculture, that students forming housing co-ops along socialist principles are counterculture, or that DD/lg lifestylers are counterculture, or that serious occultists like Michelle Belanger or Grant Morrison are counterculture.

Also, let's not get too into discussing the difference between marxism as discussed by marx and "cultural marxism" as discussed by the alt right on effay, okay?

William Gibson wrote something to this effect, about how he didn't think you could have something like that anymore.

Another thing that happens is you get people living in tiny towns in the middle of nowhere picking up a style and a type of music and an idea- in the old days they would have moved to be closer to other people with those ideas, or attended events. /cgl/ has been talking a lot about how most of the people who do style Youtubes are partially housebound or work from home or something. We already have the internet, and travelling or moving to a big city is more expensive to us than it was to our parents or grandparents, And someone might take a video of that person in the weird clothing tripping over something and put it up on social media or hassle you, so it's better to stay home.

If a girl takes the time to insult your clothing when she just met you, she's probably being tsuntsun.
