because it's trendy & cheap. they also enjoy Lion's Head.
MB was our cheap beer of choice when we were young & broke. Also drank Black Label, Knickerbocker, Narragansett, Olympia, Piels, Ortlieb's, Shaefer, Schlitz, Schmidts, Ballantine, Genny Cream Ale (beer bubbles), oh and White Mountain Coolers
Lion's Head. That's from Wilkes-Barre, PA - formerly known as Gibbon's. They also brew their one time rival's suds Stegmaier at the Lion Brewery.
Piel's? Remember the animated Bert and Harry Piel commercials?
Wow. I have sleeves. Chest tattoos. I even have one on my hand. Another on my calf. And piercings in my face...AND BLACK RIMMED GLASSES.
I AM THE DEVIL!
Hahahahahahaha...oh man.
no, you're unoriginal

May I express my horrid distaste for these hipsters?
It starts with the fact that I detest cloned sheep behavior - that is to say, any group of people who get together to all dress and act exactly the same and wear it as some sort of badge of honor that makes them feel "cooler than you." Especially when the only thing you've managed to prove is how unoriginal you are and how pathetic your shriveled sense of self is by this desperate need to fit in with a group.
Actually it's funny because I was that close to typing "die fixie scum" before I decided to go on at such length. They do share a lot in common - self-important clones who invade neighborhoods.
I just hate clones. Unoriginality and group mentalities strike some chord of tick off in me that I don't fully understand. That day that I literally saw hundreds of these people congregating outside of some bar in South Philadelphia made me so angry...and I don't know what for.
It's not that I feel everyone needs to go around inventing some brand new character for themselves - if anything I feel that just being plain and simple is where it's at. Once you're making a concerted effort to conform to some preset uniform standard of subcultural wannabeness (and everyone who does this is a wannabe - there is no such thing as a "true" anything) then you've lost all sense of respect that I would have felt for you.
I just wish I knew why!
And it's not for that ridiculous reason that was posted earlier on the thread. I don't despise cloned sheepishness out of any self hatred or anything like that. I do have my fair share of self hatred like the rest of us, but that is not the motive. I just wish I knew what was!
I can't stand the goobers who, due to having an ugly head of hair or going bald, shave their heads, grow some idiotic facial hair and try to pass themselves off as being hip. Most of them just come off as looking like homosexuals. If you are gay, it's one thing, but it's not a good look for a supposedly straight, white man.
My beer is Rheingold the dry beer.
East side. West side
And uptown and down
Rheingold extra dry beer is the beer of great reknown
Friendly, freshening Rheingold
Always happily dry
The clean clear taste you want is in Rheingold Extra Dry
From Lexington to Madison and on both sides of Park
They ask for Rheingold extra dry before and after dark
From Coney to Connecticut on Flatbush Avenue
From Jersey scenes way out to Queens
They sing as millions do
Think of Rheingold whenever you buy beer.
It's not bitter, not sweet, it's the extra dry treat
Won't you try extra dry Rheingold beer?

Yes and no on that one - if you're going bald you don't have much choice but to shave it or keep it closely cut. The facial hair is a matter of personal choice. So I'm not sure if people are as much going for a certain purposed look as much as just happening to end up that way.
Plus they aren't doing it to fit in with some large gathered subculture like these hipster fixie people. So I guess they don't particularly annoy me.

There is nothing wrong about shaving your head if it's to avoid the Costanza.
I've got nothing to say about hipsters. But Toynbee tiles are a 30 year old mystery.
I've been following them for years and am part of a documentary team that's actually solved the mystery. They have nothing to do with hipsters. It has a lot more in common with general "conspiracy culture" but it's really just its own thing.
Since the early 1980's the tiles have appeared around the United States and in 3 South American countries. Since about 2001 they've been pretty much restricted to Philly. (where they also started) There are hundreds of tiles in Philadelphia right now... they last anywhere from a few days to over a decade.
They were originally created to get out that message, but the medium of graffiti embedded in asphalt has taken off in the last few years. Some of these other people that put down their own tiles can probably be called "hipsters" but I don't really know them.
The Toynbee tiles themselves are pure Philly though. OK. Back to your hipster debate.
I just never knew.. so I was throwing all descriptions out there... It's ok... I've got tats and used to wear black rimmed glasses, too!
i also happen to have black rimmed glasses and a single but visible tattoo. i am most certainly NOT a hipster. i can fit my keys in my pockets. i think another qualification to be a hipster is that you have to be in a band that has never played a show or recorded anything that wasnt on a clock radio. don't forget a job in the service industry. check out the website Look at this ****ing hipster
also to be a hipster you have to just plain suck in general

The shaving of the head is cool, but the goofy facial hair accompanying it sometimes screams "GAY!" Especially when it's one of those little beards with no moustache.

those are total extremes though. the worst one was of a guy standing on a bass drum shoving a microphone up his ass....not sure that was a hipster but really nasty
