Misjudging Hipsters

This has now happened three times which compels me to make a meme as an apology. 



Though I will plead with these "conservative hipsters" to ditch the salmon jeans, hit the gym, and get a real haircut.  You have no idea how much you're wearing the enemy's uniform and confusing the rest of us.

    What else would one expect from a Starship captain who was just a wannabe tailor:

    "Make it sew!"

  3. Thankfully I live in the Seattle region so if they're dressed like a hipster chances are it's safe to pass judgment.

    Reminds me of Dave Chapelle's old standup:

    Girl: Just because I'm dressed this way does not make me a whore!

    Dave: You're not a whore. But you're in a whore's uniform.

  4. The "salmon jeans" bit made me laugh. I recall shopping for some standard, boring Levi's a couple years ago and seeing the latest - red Levi's - and doing a double take. What comes around goes around. The following Levi's ad aired when I was in high school - 1972. Besides the red jeans (towards the end), the extra wide belt was the latest - replacing the skinny belts from the 60's. The most unusual jean attribute in the ad, although unseen, is that Levi's were being made in the USA in '72.

  5. Haha.

    I wear skinny jeans and v necks when I'm not working. A social justice type I struck up a conversation with me later told me he couldn't believe how racist and sexist I was.

    It came in handy during the February meetup protests though. They never suspected me as I walked by.

    Fun fact:One of my leftist and male feminist friends told me I'm the most masculine metro sexual looking man he knows, something he didn't think possible.

    This worries me a bit.

  6. I've been pointing this out for years.

    A lot of these hipsters just need some guidance.

    Btw, red trousers--also pink, white, blue, and green--are cool.

    The canonical source of red pants aren't dyed Levi's, they're Nantucket Reds: http://www.nantucketreds.com/collections/nantucket-reds-collection
