There are not enough t-shirts with ironic messages and images in this thread for it to be a discussion about hipsters.

Also, "hipster shit" is what people who enjoy mainstream things call obscure things they don't like.
Or what people who enjoy obscure things call obscure things they don't like, for that matter. As simple as it sounds, I think these two statements summarize the situation quite clearly. It seems that anyone can call anybody else a hipster these says as long as the second party is: a) trying to make an artistic statement of some sort, b) doing something eccentric that the first party isn't interested in or doesn't want to understand, c) is part of an otherwise unlabelled group of behavioural/dress patterns that isn't already well-established (eg. "goths" are never called hipsters, but "punks", which has become a much looser term, sometimes are). The most common usage I see is for young people who wear classic or dressware clothing (eg. suits, dresses, or wearing certain types of hats like berets). I live in Canada, of course, so I'm not entirely sure how far out of context this is for other countries. How this applies to Scott Pilgrim in any way is far beyond me, and I don't really know what people are trying to prove or accomplish by name-dropping, or what associations they make to begin with. My first thought is usually that it's just a jealousy thing, but I try not to think that because it's probably just a reactionary feeling to make myself feel bigger than those name-dropping in the first place, which really is just as bad (if not worse). So yeah. I'm not really helping to bring this already forsaken topic back on track, though :/ but the whole "hipster" thing is something I've seen pop up quite often, so I've been interested in the psychology behind it lately. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I did read the comics. I enjoyed them, not too much though in respect to many of the good comics I've read, but they definitely had some memorable moments. I really liked the art style in the 4th and 5th books a lot. |

I just kinda went with a excavator up in this here thread and some of your posts may have been caught in the madness.
I apologize for any inconvenience. Please carry on.

Can somebody actually give a straight answer of what the crap a hipster even is?

It's not that clear to me, or anyone really. To me I guess the thought behind it seems to be that that's what you call people who like stuff because they like to appear weird, quirky or esoteric. Although ironically enough, if you're calling other people that, you're the one who is overly concerned with appearances. Or that is how it seems to me.

A hipster is someone who always throws themselves into the latest trend. It's that simple.

But only certain trends. Some hipster trends would be tiny beards and those cheap plastic sunglasses they give out at concerts.

But if they don't follow the latest trend they wouldn't be hip anymore.

Yeah but today's trends are sort of anti-trends and about individuality, so now they are on their own--and not very creative. Or, too creative and just impractical or self-defeating. But yeah, it will pass on to something else.
Scott Pilgrim is kind of an example of retro-hipster, like that awful ROOTS Nintendo shirt, where whatever respect I had for you knowing about those games is gone for you labeling yourself "Old School".

Ah, so a hipster is whatever the person wants it to be at the moment.
Anyway, hope they put this on DVD soon. I'm not really looking into going to the theater. I prefer to watch it from the confort of my home, without having problems with pausing the movie so I can take a goddamn piss.

Saw it this weekend and really enjoyed it. I think they made a lot of good choices for what to cut and change about it. My favorite change was how they handled the extra life in Gideon's battle. I was also really laughing at the laugh-track scene with the Seinfeild theme.
I have some nitpicks, though. I don't really care about these other then it being fun to complain. Kim Pine's hair looked like a radio-active wig. Her acting seemed stiff too. I liked the character in the comics, and she seems like the most likely character to get a spin-off (she did have her own short comic at one point), so it wouldn've been nice to see more care given to her. I also agree it would've been better spaced out in two movies. Mostly because Scott and Ramona's relationship definitely seemed rushed. I didn't like the CG monster battle with the twins- it just felt like the cheesiest scene.
That aside, I thought it was a great movie. I kind of wish I could see it from the perspective of someone who didn't read the books, just to see how much sense it all made to a fresh mind. I think it would still be good for that kind of viewer, maybe even better.

"Hipster" is a derogatory slur you use against someone who you think is just as disingenuous as you secretly are.
I didn't have a clue about this Scott whatsit before this thread, but if his band's name is "Clash at the Demonhead" I approve. "Scott Pilgrim and the Mr. Gimmicks" would have been way sexier, though.

A single Mr. Gimmick reference, no matter how little, in the movie would prove that it is not disingenuous at all.

No, The Clash at Demonhead is his ex's band, his is The Sex Bob-Ombs. |
