There was a guy next to me wearing Skullcandy Hesh Paul Frank editions. then when i got on my bus i saw two ladies,one wearing those cheap $3 Coby headphones that you'd find in any 99c store and the other was wearing a fullsized headphone, but she was too far for me to see what they were.

is that you babe?

Yeah, you sound like a hipster. Especially since you're saying this with an anime avatar. (Looks like Rena from Higurashi, but it's too small for me to tell rightly.)
 
Protip: don't wanna come off as a hipster? Don't ever talk about the mainstream, positive or negative. Just like what you like, and come what may. (I say this as I sit here in front of my computer, wearing NY Tripp pants, a Sleeping Lion Heart necklace, with my DT770s, listening to "Komm süsser todd" from End of Evangelion, and alternating between reading Nobilis and ripping/sorting some Therion albums I got for my birthday. And oh yeah, my avatar is Yotsuba.)
 
Speaking of hipsters and headphones...
 

Look at this friggin' hipster.

I've seen quite a few Beats on campus today.

The power of marketing. Oddly Skullcandy and Bose isn't popular where I'm from, but Beats seems to be the shizznit.

That girl is so hipster, she craps out unknown bands.

you do realize i listen to alot of unknown bands right. although my unknown bands are underground metal. im not a hipster just open minded. the majority of the mainstream is trash. its just fact.
 
oh and surprisingly i haven't seen any beats. me thinks they all broke

but i have seen a few pairs of skullcandy. and a pair of sony mdr v150.

I was >implying that hipsters pride themselves on listening obscure music, not that obscure = hipster. Most of the music I listen to is less popular as well
 
Haven't seen anything since I got back to Calgary, maybe I need to move to Toronto. But that 13% sales tax is a big turnoff. I wonder what I'll see at the worlds in St Louis

Clearly not too open minded!

The fact that you think mainstream=trash is why people are calling you a hipster!

I've seen two more DT770s this past week, very strange... I guess the chunky retro look is catching on?

oops

Heh, someone's getting defensive.

Wait, I listen to Indie, tend to not go with the flow, and use a lot of sarcasm and irony. Am I a hipster? If so, I'm going to go to this really obscure place you haven't heard of to cry and listen to The Decemberists.

I saw some Zumreeds at school. The ZHP-005 or something

 

[loremipsum]

Too bad you just told us about the band. Now you'll have to stop listening to it, once 2 people know about it it's too mainstream
 
Theres one artist in my library who I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only person in AB who listens to them. Hipster victory!

 

[burnliff]

The Decemberists are pretty well-known, actually.

What band are you talking about?

 

[bcasey25raptor]

i may be the only one in my town who knows this metal band. but i don't care they are damn good. they are called kalevala
 
i would post a link but i don't know if that would be stretching the boundaries on this thread.
anyways. i never tend to see many real headphones in my town. everyone just uses cheapies. which is ironic as kelowna is classified as a fairly rich city.

What band are you talking about?

I know, but it's one of those stereotypical "hipster" bands that people actually know of, like the Velvet Underground. (I have way too many hipster friends. Well trying-hard hipster)

since we are talking about hipsters maybe i should start a thread on it. then we can take the discussion there.
