I used to think I was cool going clubbing in the 80s in an Orange Jump suit.
if you did that today you would look like you were on the run from Guantanamo Bay .

Or an escapee from a Bananarama tribute act.

Don't worry, the vinyl is just for leaving lying around to show how cool they are, not for actually playing.

So many people I know are like this. Not me! I recently fixed up my dad's old Dual TT and now I play records regularly.

Surely you can just pop something toxic in his quinoa and put him out of his misery? Next he'll be buying boutique muesli from a trendy cafe and that's just not a risk worth taking.

Where I live its mostly disaffected types in grey tracksuits wandering around with one hand down their pants.

I'm a bit of a hipster to be fair, although without a beard and my hair isn't silly, it looks great and I think I'm pretty harmless. I'd rather be a hipster than the yuppie stereotype that seems to be dominant in the bit of Birmingham I spend my day to day in. At least I genuinely like jack up trousers and stripey socks, music on vinyl and posh tea with some of my home baked bread, they can't possibly genuinely like being full of bull shit*

Do you work up by the Cathedral?

Even chavs have beards nowadays

It annoys me. All the lager-swilling fannies who used to take the piss out of me for having a beard, now have beards.


Now just stop that beard silliness immediately!

What? There's more of them?!

My condolences.  

I could cope with the diet and the jeans, but the stupid beard and touching my vinyl would be the last straw.  Get some mates round for an intervention and shave the fuking thing off before it spreads any further.

Banish him to the naughty step!

It's reached epidemic proportions in Chorlton - Penny Farthings all over the place....

Loving the 1950's attitudes in this thread! These bloody kids with their [things that are slightly different to the things I like]!

When you say jacked up trousers, you mean trousers cut badly that show socks?

When I go to B'ham I walk past the cathedral to get from New Street station to the office on Newhall Street - I wonder if I'm one of the yuppie looking ones

True hipsters don't wear socks. Jeans rolled up at the ankles, boating shoes, no socks.

Your son is a hipster?  Think yourself fortunate - mine is an RE teacher.

My son is skinny enough to wear hipster trousers, and he talks a load of bollocks.
