Sorry Rudbeckia, I don't intend to go one on one with you as a means of substituting for an entire thread. I suggest you start from the very first post and move to the end and you draw your own conclusions/rebuttals. etc.

Best.

i was not trying to start an argument, thread is way to long to read , a new hipster thread will come up sooner or later, they always so, so i will just wait on that one to converse

Sounds like a great idea, Rudbeckia.....in the meantime I might meet the requirements to be a bona fide hipster and then give you an insider's perspective...not to worry, Rudbeckia, if I felt all the ills of the world rested on the shoulders of hipsters, would I try so hard to cultivate the mannerisms and persona of a hipster myself?

I saw a photo on this thread of a hottie hipster and I'm gonna be one myself so I can snag a nice cutie like her ...since you're already taken!!!

And if you too are a hipster, I bet you're even cuter than the one I'm after!!!

Here in Harlem and further uptown hipsters are of all races: White, Black, Chinese, etc. I don't think this discussion is about race but rather about culture. I also don't think this is about hating anyone. Discussion is healthy, imo.

I guess that if the entire thread is read the points you just made would clearly appear as accurate from the various posts.

I do like Rudbeckia and felt real awful when she made that earlier post today. I felt bad that she drew the conclusion she did - as she, like you, Indi, is liked for the various thought-provoking contributions made here. And as a landscape architect, her talents can only help us here in the city, for architecture is part art, part business.That's why I suggested a reading of the entire thread.

If I recollect, both Indi and Rudbeckia are from out of town, hence not all out of towners are being ridiculed. If I also recollect, there are photos here of two or three hipsters including one who appears to be Asian. And if I recollect, several posters including myself cautioned against blaming all hipsters for all the woes of the city.

There's room for us all - seasoned hipsters, non-hipsters, even wannabe hipsters like me constantly changing his wardrobe, cultivating that perfect Valley accent, getting funds wired from a secret older very attractive lady benefactor/admirer on Staten Island, etc.

One day, I'll be a hipster - one of the good ones without attitudes, etc.

Would you mind if I took a look at you myself to determine if you meet the physical requirements?

If there is ever another city data meet up and we are both there, you can tell me if I meet the hipster requirements, but i am pretty sure i dont, and I am not lazy, hipsters are supposed to be lazy right?

and i am not snobbish, far from it, hipsters are supposed to be snobbish
