What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

Oh, irony* - Scoble won!

*) not about the person - it's about the bike

It's non-aspirational. Trendy. You guys are so 2thousand and late.

I believe it also falls under 'pseudonaievity'

Why flag this under 'hipster'?

Bollocks. From what it says in the video, it predates Facebook.

Turned it off at the phrase 'open source bike club'.

Watch it to the end. It looks like good fun. You realise what it's about when you see at the end quite how many people do it. It's a bit like our bridges rides or other social rides. They're proud of it being unique to Portland and consider it an important part of their cycling culture. There's nothing wrong with that. I'd go along if I ever went to Portland. I could, because the bikes are freely available to anyone. The particular phrase used shouldn't irk you.

3:18 is why it's here

I like the nurse.

That is all

I don't see that. One of the women has red hair and they both have some tattoos, but what makes them particularly hipsterish? They look perfectly fine to me. They may not be hugely articulate in putting words to the experience, but what they say is hardly pretentious, is it?

I've said it before, but for the most part, what is considered 'hipster' are just the current prevailing fashions, often adopted by young people. Some people overdo it to a ridiculous extent and look awful (and this thread thrives mainly on poking fun at the fashion disasters and the pretentiousness), but the vast majority of them look just like people who follow one or more of these trends and dress accordingly and generally look OK to fine. Plenty of people on the forum do the same thing. At the end of the day, it's just as bad or good as any fashion ever, and perhaps has the misfortune, more than previous trends, of happening in an age of ubiquitous camera usage.

pretty sure the guy from louder the wanky couples blog was in the pub last night, didn't see her though so it may have just been an imposter

Bombing hills on tiny bikes looks fun and about as unpretentious as you can get.

Get a life dorks

The idea itself isn't pretentious. I'd love to do that, just not with them.
They way they articulated it, and the the way it was introduced, was hip as fuck.

Then again i'm probably a hipster myself, everyone sees it differently.

Ross from the louderthansilence cunt blog in the Royal Albert in New Cross tonight

I think him and sally are having a bit of time apart. Why else have they not blogged since halloween?

I went zoo bombing in Portland about 5, maybe 6 years ago. It was fun, especially as we did it after dark, then we went and had doughnuts at that 24 hour place, VooDoo Doughnuts. These are just fun things to do in Portland, fun things that are pretty open to anyone who wants to go and do them.

More people in the pacific northwest have tattoos than people do here. More tattoos, sillier tattoos. It's just how it is, and I think it started more from a DIY punk scene thing than from anywhere else.

One of the things I miss the most about home is that more people were willing to do things that are just silly, to organize things that are stupid without being afraid that it's either been done before or that someone would call them a hipster.

We have been entirely caught up re-vamping our life style blog, also I no longer go to new cross, it's over.

nice to see lfgss back on the stats.

"I was into zoobombing long before it was cool." :)

Exactly what I thought.
