Married and labeled

[theediabeticman]

I got married this weekend! It was fun and awesome. I knew she was the one when she told me Royal Yacht smelled like cologne...and assurance was added when she suggested we build a smoking lounge and bar in the basement.

Here's my issue. My lady typed up our "story." She referred to me as a hipster in our story...when we first started dating she called me a hipster too...I smiled and nodded and then went home and had to google what this term meant. I even called my 16yr old nephew to discuss what this term meant. In my google research the first article I read was about New York hipsters paying to have beard transplants...this sounds like the least manly thing a person could ever do.

I live a boring life. The only TV I watch is The Walking Dead, Star Wars (anything), and the Green Bay Packers. I just need to know why does having facial hair and smoking a pipe make one a hipster?...I love this woman but OH GOD WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!?!?!?!
p.s. she also has bought me 5 pipes this year...i know you're all a touch jealous

So, have you ever asked her why she took you for a hipster to begin with?

 

[theediabeticman]

Aldecaker...she said it was because at the time we met I had a handle bar mustache and she never saw me without a pipe.

Maybe the question I should ask is why would i be with someone who would date a hipster??

Post pics of you and your clothes and we will tell you if you are one or not.

As someone who also is often labeled a hipster, I choose to interpret it as "young, hip, and cultured." :puffpipe:

 

[michaelmirza]

Oh and my wife despises this fine hobby so count yourself lucky!

Congratulations on your marriage.
As far as why your new misses thinks your a hipster, I can't help. I've been married for twenty years and gave up trying to figure out how women think along time ago.

 

[prairiedruid]

Hipster Packer fan??? Didn't think foam cheeseheads fit with the hipster look. Congrats on your marriage, condolences on being a Packer fan. Skol!

 

[theediabeticman]

well Tarheel...i've attempted to add a pic; three or four times....I'm not a sharp technological knife.

Here's one of my latest YT videos...poking fun at the most recent TPC pipe giveaway (of which I donated tobacco to the giveaway; so this is good fun. Now you can see what I look like

Dude!
She loves you. She loves your pipes. She loves your pipe tobacco. She has bought you 5 pipes. And apparently she has nothing against having a bar in your basement. And you're worried about her referring to you as a hipster?
Whatchabitchingabout?
Just quit while you're ahead and enjoy your marriage.

Congratulations on getting hitched!

Yes, you are a hipster. I mean this in the best way since I tend to be called a hipster.

 

[nutcracker]

Deathmetal- How did you go straight from vinyl to youtube?

 

[theediabeticman]

Deathmetal - Only one i know up there is Opeth...I got into metal through the Milwaukee scene in the late 90s...7 Angels 7 Plauges - Forever is Forgotten - End this Day...then a lot of older Underoath, Zao, SlipKnot, Unearth...my favorite band of all time is not metal though - Hatebreed

 

[deathmetal]

@nutcracker:
Those are not my rips. While I think it should be legal to share music, were I to rip albums to YouTube I'd want to do it so that the ad revenue went to the band.
@thediabeticman:
Some of the bands I posted have more hipster appeal than others. It's more of a humorous take on the whole thing than anything else, because these internet tests are generally excremental. Hatebreed seems at least to have no subterfuge between image and what they deliver. As far as the other bands, I'm not particularly familiar. Mostly I listen to... good old-fashioned death metal.

 

[nutcracker]

deathmetal- I just posted in jest. I was fairly young when those CDs were recorded. You know those hipsters are really into vinyl at the moment.
