Why are hipsters annoying?

What does that word mean, anyway?

People hate what they don’t understand!

Because that’s your own opinion and because you can?

Are you asking us to read your mind?

I think most people intuitionally dislike pretentiousness, no matter what form it takes, eh?

I hear it applied more frivolously than “punk” and god knows there is 1000+ interpretations of what that means. Hipster to one, means something else to another. Maybe you dislike cookie-cutter, walking American Apparel ads (not that I don’t sprinkle some of their garments in my wardrobe). Without even knowing you (based on your choice of topics), I would say it could be the lack of true creativity combined with the insecurity-backed snobbery that is annoying.
Personally, though, I think the word is stupid and way to general to really represent anything, but that is my take on it. Perhaps I don’t know the true definition.

anoop, what is a “hipster” to you?
Peedub- you couldnt of said it any better my man!

Are hipsters the new yuppies?

I tend to be more annoyed by a individual person rather than an entire group. I try hard not to judge all because of a few.
@anoop, what about them annoys you so much?

does hipster have something to do with fixed gear bikes?

Aren’t hipsters those low-cut jeans that accent your love handles and upper-buttish regions? Maybe they’re annoying because you can’t sit down in an open-backed chair without looking like the daughter of the son of a plumber (or is THAT a stereotype?).

i think the word ‘hipster’ just implies that someone prides themselves on being hipper than you. that’s pretty annoying.
