i've never run into this mythological likes-everything-ironically being.

I was calling posers hipsters before hipsters were posing as hipsters being posers.

Argyle to go with your high top Chucks and skinny jeans. Nobody will see them except when you roll up your pant leg to ride your fixed gear bike.

Apart from the bike thar all described me well.

According to that thing, hipsters like skrillex? Thats not true at all.

Interns of dubstep skrillex is a superposingturdinahatandamainstreamho so therefor is actually not cool and because he is not cool he has to be cool so if you actually liked skrillex now you would be liking him before everyone else thought he was laim or think he will be played out in a few months so you are liking him now so you can not like him when in a few years everyone will like him because he isn't cool anymore so you can have like him before they liked him? Or something...

Really I don't care... I just find this trend like all trends so boring..

And snipelfritz... I'm really sorry but I don't think of you as a hipster... I know it crushes your soul or something.. Why? See it is funny how terms work.. Like I said ^ I have been using the term hipster as a word for poser/scene controllers that fuck everything up in a scene for like 15 years... They dressed like hipsters do now too.. they always have.. I find it AWESOME in a sick way that now their "identity" is a trend

as the Resident Old Phart i will confirm that they've dressed the same ever since New Wave bit the dust...the floppy skateboarder hats and facial hair didn't become au courant until after grunge, but otherwise it's been the same schtick ever since the 1980s, hand-rolled American Spirits, ironic plastic-framed yeah-i-know-these-look-stupid-but-people-wore-them-in-the-50s Elvis Costello glasses, thrift-shop duds and all. drinking crappy beer on their parents' money and making fun of us field negroes and deciding what's "cool," i.e. what's allowable, for everybody else.

Everyone in my school thinks im a hipster because I dress well on occasion

Where do peeps like Warhol, Lou Reed, and the Sonic Youth/Swans/etc. fit on this sliding scale?

they don't, IMO. inherent in the "hipster" classification is the connotation that the designees don't actually do anything of creative worth themselves, just sit in judgement over other people's work. that's part of why they're "sters," not just "hip." their "hipness" is acquired from without, dig?

Right, but where does that square with the entire Warhol-ian aesthetic of "mass reproduction?"

Ala the Campbell's cans, the Marilyn screens, and so forth. I'd throw down that Warhol was encouraging the hipster by embracing and giving artistic merit to the notion of ironic(and/or purposeless) recycling of imagry.

On the other hand, fuck it. Who cares? Hipsters trivialize everything... And that's yucky.
