The end of the hipster: how flat caps and beards stopped being so cool
2014-06-24
[THEGUARDIAN] Now that cocktails in jam jars have made it to EastEnders, what's next for those who would be 'alternative'?
Go buy a Brooks Brothers suit and go to the opera so you don't look and act like everybody else.

#14  Why Mr.swksvolFF a flat cap is a Yorkshire thing, it is a cap and it is flat. you can carry your lunch in your flat cap or water your dawg in the field with your flat cap. You can adjust it and think, take it off and scratch your head and think, admire the fine tweed and think you can also carry 4 kittens in it in a pinch. A fine piece of haberdashery. Highly recommended. Think Sir Jackie Stewart, but not Scotish, Yoirkish.

#12  That's the sound of a thousand hipsters exhaling in relief.

...unless ice/water counts.

#11  It's a cocktail if it's mixed with something.

Otherwise it's just booze.

#8  One of our g-daughters showed up to a family function over the weekend wearing jeans embellished with holes and tears. I remarked that it was apparent the banking business (her vocation) must not be doing very well. She was not, er, amused, and Mrs. Phester, shockingly enough (/sarc), took her side.

Guess I'll never understand fashion.

#3  I'd love to see one of those dipshits change a tire. Took me six and a half minutes to do that off the Mass. Turnpike last week, and I was pissed at myself for taking too long. Granted, a completely shredded tire and frozen lugs didn't help, but still!

#2  The hipster look can't die soon enough.

#1  LMAO. Go with the timeless stuff, and disregard the dipshits that change every few years because some gay designer in NY/LA decided to call something else "fashionable".
