All I know is, hipsters love bounce music and trap rap now.
Like seriously.

He really didn't.Ninja dropped that knowledge on ya'll. Well said fam.
All he did was explain why he chose to adopt whatever he picked up and why he never changed.
Ask him why he embraces the very thing he identifies with. Of course his bias precludes him from seeing that he is merely a trend-hopper who never evolved, himself.
You can't act like you're original if all you're going to do is say that everyone else isn't.

this guy is kind of right because all our styles come from somewhere, who started trends?He really didn't.

hipsters have always been mainstream.
And yes, I hate hipsters.

I've always thought that hipsters have been mainstream for a long time. I remember back in high school, in my US history class, the topic was counter culture in the 60s and he goes and says these people try so hard to go against mainstream and it spread so much that it became a culture in itself.
I also find most hipsters to be no better than hypebeasts. They all try hard to fit in and try to gain attention, but only one group would admit it.
\\edit: Actually "fit in" is not the right term. I am thinking more of being accepted or getting props/acknowledgement from others.

people pick who and what they wanna identify with because it represents who they are...its like copping a pair of sneaker my size (imma 10) i dont cop a size 11 because i dont wanna FRONT like i got a bigger foot then i really have, andHe really didn't.Ninja dropped that knowledge on ya'll.

You can't act like you're original if all you're going to do is say that everyone else isn't.
i dont pick a size 9 because i feel like im too grown to fit those shoes. style and persona is alot like sneakers sizes, sometimes you real genuinely outgrow your "size in shoes" because things you once did or stood for no longer reflect who you
are, and thats perfectly fine for some people, others grow faster then others, some people dont grow at all, and thats fine too...its da erratic constant persona shedding attributes of hypebeasts and hipsters that annoy most people because it comes
across as disingenuous.
hypebeasts and hipsters dont hold onto morals or values of da very culture they siphon off their "cool" from...one comes and infects early on, da latter comes and milks da life outta something before it dies...then its off to da next one.
this is why no one takes to either of em kindly.
im a unapologetic 80's babies thats forged in da fire of da 90's so when i see hipsters doing things from my generation just to be ironic, like rockin dusty lumberjacks from da biggie era, or hypebeasts rockin snapbacks like those weren't slayed once
spike lee's odd request to New Era to make a custom Red yankee's non traditional red 5950 ushered in da fitted revolution. all i do is raise my eyebrow and keep it moving.
your style is your identity to da world, its da non verbal conversation you have with complete strangers, on a daily basis. when your constantly sending fraudulent signals da way hypebeasts and hipsters do it makes people question who you really are.
you know da saying, if you dont stand for something you'll fall for anything.

I like how you just needed that round-about justification to express why you're "so much more original" than everyone else because your "clothes represent who you REALLY are"
No one knows the meaning of those Tims... no one but you man. You get it bro!
I guess we should all look to cultural gatekeepers like you.
You and your peers have introduced a standard to which no one could never be compared to or contrasted against. You're TRULY original in the urban wear you chose to adopt.
You're original because in the 80s, you didn't even know what shirts were. You just started making your own cotton blended t-shirts with screen prints at home until you walked outside and realized you and millions of other urbanites had independently developed the same concept! Its like discovering the invention of the wheel in different parts of the world; Fascinating!
Like I said earlier, just be honest with yourself. You're not even that original yourself, and frankly you're ironically forgetting your own influences when you choose to chastise and denigrate others for having their own, and functionally harmless, forms of dress.

da sad thing is in your lil cloud of condescension is actually how style and culture organically emerge..especially da underlined quote.TL;DR: I got my own style because...I was forged in da 90s... or whatever that means.people pick who and what they wanna identify with because it represents who they are...its like copping a pair of sneaker my size (imma 10) i dont cop a size 11 because i dont wanna FRONT like i got a bigger foot then i really have, andHe really didn't.Ninja dropped that knowledge on ya'll.

in da 80's and 90's there was NO SUCH THING as "urban wear"...da hood took things that was from a foreign context and made it theirs...from timberland boots that da owners themselves shunned da popularity of
their products to minorities from da inner cities...to people just taking shirts and taggin em with bubble letters like da trains and rockin out like that (see killa cam in paid in full) to air force I's which could've easily been a 1 year oddity that
never releases again after 1982 but because da Tristate area decided to take that shoe and use it as a platform to represent who they are and what they wanna relfect to da world, it lives on as a symbolic flag to da urban generation.
things this generation takes for WILD granted now like peepin da latest styles and trends, while also observing cultures thats foreign was ALOT harder to do without da internet...things weren't so compartmentalized and organized in
cute lil bite sized boxes so culture vultures can easily just cherry pick w/e they wanna do like its so abundantly easy to do now...da way you dressed back then actually reflected alot more of who you was...look at da bloods and crips
in LA killing each other over colors in da 80's-90's...look at da OG lo' heads from da brooklyn taking a white brand catered to gated community and completely manipulating it to represent what they wanna project to da world.
so while u can easily laugh off "da audacity of my claims of originality" da fact of da matter is, its da truth.

Who cares?
I'm saying wear what you want and stay true to yourself, cats that rock something just because everyone else is doing it will always be playing themselves. Stay true fads die and reboot...
I've been on my same ****z since the 90's never swayed from that path... My clothes are less baggy, not "TIGHT" just loose and comfortable.
Kinda funny, you can see when a fad has hit full mainstream by going to the movies on a Saturday night..... I saw Batman the other night and I can tell you that High Socks, Snapbacks, Wooden Jewelry and Sleaveless jean jackets are most definitely the cool thing to do....

If any of you have gotten off this site and into reality in the past year or two you'd see college kids wearing throwback jerseys and tanks, the best looking girls you know shopping at thrift shops for vintage wear, everybody posting up memes on Instagram and Facebook, Supreme hats all over the place, fitted hats have become extinct, trendy people wear skinny khakis moreso than jeans, people wear tribal looking bracelets, as a guy you're shorts now have to be atleast an inch above the knee and every girl in the world seems to think Michael Kors is the greatest thing in the world when I don't remember ever hearing about it before the past year. The internet has made 80% of the college aged population into hipsters. I appreciate the style and originality of some of it....but the "hypebeasts" are the ones I hate. Those are the ones that have caught onto a trend that's on it's last legs and pimp the **** out of it til the wheels fall off. Those are the people that firmly destroy something that was once somewhat original. People should just wear what they think looks good on them rather than wearing "trendy" things that are going to look ridiculous when they see pictures of them wearing it years later.

Why'd I see this big-o hipster girl riding her bike the other day?
Hipster characteristics:
Fixie with drop-down bars (obviously too big for her)
Thick framed glasses without the lens
Beats
This girl looked like she hadn't ever ridden a bike before. Probably 200lbs and ugly (like 3/10). She stopped at the light and had a look in her face like she was smoking hot. Almost as if the fixie had turned her into a ten.
at kept driving.

Can't speak for everyone, but I think a small layer of attention seeking is embedded in many of us. We're all hipster to an extent I suppose.

Too many followers in this generation.... No body has originality, and when they do it someone copies that hahaha

I buy what I like, not by being influenced.
