Married and labeled

[deathmetal]

Vinyl never went out of fashion in metal and punk, but having hipsters buy a lot of it has kept the plants open. Of course, most of their purchases are landfill-bound within a couple years...

Fitzy at our wedding we had a special needs boy as Jr Groomsman...he asked who i was because i wasn't wearing my hat. hahaha
Regarding the mustache I chopped it off after the Chicago Pipe show last year as I was seeking employment(that's why beard is trimmed too)...and I also didn't use wax in it b/c my ginger hair curls enough
And as of last week I took all my flannel shirts out of the closet as Cold weather has entered Wisconsin.
Thanks guys! I'm excited to be married and my bride is awesome. If you see us in Chicago make sure you let her know you're praying for her.

The only definition of "hipster" that matters, is hers. Now that you are married, the only opinion that matters is hers.

 

[brudnod]

If my wife called me an A**hole and allowed me what you married into, I'd be THRILLED! If being a hipster means that you are overly sensitive, then, yes, you are a hipster. Good luck with that marriage things, and congratulations.

Well, it's easy to be labelled as something you're not when people are using such broad descriptions.

I think a better question is: Why is Theediabeticman in denial?

Call yourself a hipster and keep those pipes coming! In various discussions on Forums it has become clear that the word is so imprecise as to be meaningless. I guess it refers to young people -- we haven't really heard of old hipsters yet though that is coming -- and these young people put on what observers take to be affected garb or what an earlier generations called "airs," which is to say they are pretentious in some way, or taken as that. Most young people do some drama to annoy their elders whether it's wearing the pants at their knees, wearing perfectly good visor caps backwards so the visor does no good, wearing their t-shirts inside out, fill in the annoying sartorial habit of the week. In olden times this included hanging a big comb out of the back pocket or wearing a shower cap on the street. Go figure. I think this is more just youthful defiance, which up to a point is a good thing. Rarely is it either hip or stirring. So fear not, it is an insult -- if it is an insult -- without much meaning.

I believe Hipster refers to someone young who's still very much searching for themself and trying out various props looking for a fit. This means you are not a hipster in the strictest sense.

 

[deathmetal]

Actually, it's not imprecise at all.

Hipsters -- like scenesters and poseurs -- are people who take pursuits that would otherwise be done for their own sake and use them like accessories.
Here's one...

Dominant outlook: ironism.

I wouldn't worry about it and just be glad your not a Emo. :rofl:
The only thing that matters is that you 2 love each other and will have a great life together.

AGREE 100% to this.
You will soon figure out that your marriage is like the long software agreements on your computer. There's a whole lotta gobbledygook in the middle that you'll pay no attention to, nor understand, but in the end the most important part is that you click 'agree'. Good luck. ::

I've been married 43 years and trust me there's a lot worse things she could call you. Consider yourself lucky, she likes the smell of your tobacco and she buys you pipes.
