  • Oh, no... they are using "ironic" correctly. It isn't poetic or dramatic irony. Though you could say they like things people would expect them to hate just to be different.

    It's just misguided sarcasm. And sarcasm = irony.
    They will never call themselves hipsters, though. Their sarcastic irony won't let them.
    Well, the label is now used to describe people with big, fake, horn-rimmed glasses (which really hurts the awesome-factor of Elvis Costello-style glasses. The dude worm them because he needed them, and they became his thing. Now every pick with 20/20 vision wears a fake pair), way-too-tight jeans or leggings, a penchant for low-quality beer (see: Pabst Blue-Ribbon) and cigarettes, a false sense of superiority, and the ability to appreciate things only ironically.

    Now, the word used to simply describe eccentric people. I remember a teacher calling me a "little hipster" when I was in elementary school because I wore late-80s style florescent colors combined with mid-late-90s techie shit and used hippie-lingo (which all came from my sitter. She was a mega-cool hippie).

    And so I was kinda proud of that label as a kid. Then it got stolen by unkempt douchebags and I've been trying to take it back... it hasn't worked.
    It actually makes a lot of sense. it's the same reason that they drink PBR when they can afford far better beer.
    Yes they did. Of course, it was done ironically. With the modern hipster, there is no such thing as legitimate appreciation.
    It certainly seems to wear the clothing of a modern super-ironic hipster. Those horrible people stole my label.
    well now they're hipster clothes. because no one would wear a scarf like that for any other reason except to be "ironic"
    It's a pony wearing a scarf. It's a hipster.

    And your name is lame. It's missing something.
