I seem to be running into a lot of stuff about 'hipsters' messin with country stuff...
There was another thing on the board describing 'hipster' as wearing beards, flannel, jeans and a toque. That drinking PBRs is a nod to hipster...

WTF, over?

It's easy to distinguish between hipsters and country folk. It's called WORK, something hipsters don't do.

Yeah, @Sanguine , it is funny, but what makes it funny is that it is obviously a thing - A thing I know absolutely nothing about...  This 'hipster' thing, I mean... :shrug:

Well yeah, I'd guess, @Sanguine  - I literally don't know what this is... But I am more interested in the thing at a cultural level...

I mean, I know what a country diner is, or a honkytonk, just driving by... In the few times I have ventured forth from these mountains, I have nearly always been able to seek out my own kind, dang near anywhere... Not so true in the rust belt big cities, but otherwise, fairly true.

I think I have described before coming back from back east and finding the first country diner on my way, and knowing I was sorta 'home' again.

This thing kinda stinks like that time when cowboy went vogue and every bar everywhere had to have a mechanical bull... sorta the  'Rhinestone Cowboy' thing.

So these hipsters... I think @Free Vulcan said they don't work - The impression I get is that this cultural segment is absconding the 'look' of the 'working man' (at least blue collar, if not country or Southern), kinda like the grunge thing did (I swear, vibram soled shoes went up two hundred dollars over that), taking cultural cues without embracing the mores thereof?

It's weird to me. So is it just attire that they would affect?

@roamer_1, the ones I know work, and work pretty hard.  They have a certain lifestyle to uphold.

This is a place I've eaten at that is totally a hipster place:  http://www.lucysfriedchicken.com/

But, the chicken was pretty good. Being as how we're in Texas and not the deep south, there are no vegan options, but some gluten-free ones.

I think you might have to experience it to really get it.  And, I'm probably not the best explainer of this particular phenomenon.

Sounds like a seriously bad case of cultural appropriation to me....

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@Sanguine

It’s complicated.  And weird.

It started a few years ago with the “lumbersexual” trend (remember metrosexuals?).  Dana Loesch described being in NYC for a TV appearance, running into a shop for coffee, and getting in line behind a guy with the beard, jeans, flannel, work boots, and perfectly smooth white hands.  This article from a few years ago nails it—-“trying to capture bygone testosterone.”

https://www.google.com/amp/s/jordandetmers.com/2014/11/14/why-hipsters-dress-like-lumberjacks-the-story-of-the-lumbersexual/amp/

I honestly haven’t seen anything IRL or on social media about hipsters doing the same with southern culture—and by that I mean adopting a certain style of dress.  I’m not even sure what that would be, unless they think we all wear bib overalls or old-style housedresses.  But there are plenty of cities in the South with large hipster populations, such as Nashville, or Richmond & Charlottesville here in my state.

Our downtown area (Lynchburg) is experiencing a kind of hipster explosion, with loft apartments and trendy new restaurants.  We’re getting a craft beer company so the transformation will be complete.

I say this to Beto fans, Trump fans, all fans of politicians: it is un-American, ridiculous, and dangerous to be a fan of a politician. They aren't pop stars. Support them if you agree with their policies. Criticize them when they go wrong. They are servants, not celebrities. —— Matt Walsh
