Hipsters Were Known for Pot Smoking and Sarcasm

The hipster is an underground man. He is to the Second World War what the dadaist was to the first. He is amoral, anarchistic, gentle, and overcivilized to the point of decadence. He is always ten steps ahead of the game because of his awareness, an example of which might be meeting a girl and rejecting her, because he knows they will date, hold hands, kiss, neck, pet, fornicate, perhaps marry, divorce—so why start the whole thing?

For every one of "those" people I know in the underground house scene, I know about five who take the "transcendental" part too seriously and ten who just like to get fucked up and dance/party to good house music in a positive environment with like-minded people.

I don't even like this band, but I know I have to be seen here. Because it's the cool thing to do. And I really care about these meaningless people. Oh god, I hope people whom I don't know think I'm cool. Did I put on the latest fashion trend before I came out? Oh look someone who isn't dressed exactly like me just made eye contact with me. Better look away. I can't be seen conversing with someone outside the scene. That would make me uncool. This band sounds just like the last one. Better not say that to anyone.

When I was in high school there weren't really "cool" cliques or anything like that. Everyone mingled with everyone. The cool people were the people that were themselves and got along with people from all the different groups from the nerds to the jocks to the skaters etc. I hope it continues to be like it was at my high school. EDIT: People seem to think I'm lying or was blissfully ignorant at my school. I should have mentioned I went to a magnet high school that required students to apply to get into. Sorry to see that my experience definitely isn't the norm in a lot of places today according to comments. Public high schools around here definitely aren't as safe as my magnet school was, but I still think school is better for students today than it was for older generations.

Now, there are four states of being in the cannabis, or marijuana, society: Cool, Groovy, Hip, and Square. The square is seldom if ever cool. He is not "with it," that is, he doesn't know "what's happening." But if he manages to figure it out, he moves up a notch to "hip." And if he can bring himself to approve of what is happening, he becomes "groovy." After that, with much luck and perseverance, he can rise to the rank of "cool." A cool guy... cool guy... cool guy...

I used to be with it. But then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and and what's it seems weird and scary to me! Back in my day we smoked cigarettes in bars, and used dirty pay phones when we were paged , and the French fries had trans fatty acids, and they were HUGe and tasted great. And we got crazed on normal drugs like cocaine and weed and alcohol and LSD. And no one new where anyone else was, and no could find anyone, because none had phones,but when they did it was beyond huge. When we asked each other stupid shit it was always the most imaginative person who would sway public opinion because we didn't have the internet in our pocket to look up all that useless shit and know for sure what was what and who was full of shit and who wasn't. God it was boring. And that was painful to recall. I'm going to go play Pokémon go now. I'm level 33. I'm 48 years old. Reddit is my best friend.

Nah, my favorite hipster is 50 (I was just at his birthday party). Always at the coffee shop on his laptop with his extremely dark jeans, over worn light tan leather shoes, plaid shirt, suspenders and a bad imitation of Brad Pitts hair from "Fury"talking about some great band that I've never fucking heard of and which film festivals he's going to this year. You're fine. I'm friends with this double-reverse hipster or something. He's genuinely into all of the things he's into, but he pretends that he's into them ironically for the sake of humor. So he's a hipster ironically, which is just two layers of hipsterdom, and I don't know what to call that.

I think i'am very smart people emphasize more on how smart they are than on actual ideas that come out of their supposed "smartness", opposed to these oldschool hipsters who just have a different vision of life. Haha well I was heavy into punk rock. Like living in a squat with other punks. Then I got into the brotherhood aspect of the hard-core scene and stopped being homeless. A lot of my homies at shows would wear those flat brim hats, so I started to adopt hip hop style clothing into my wardrobe. I got a pair of skull candy headphones (cool back when) and they had a crazy bass boost. I needed some rap music to test it...

Night came swiftly, and in the dimming light their path looked like a black strip of ribbon weaving through gray landscape. The Man looked at the Boy and said, I was actually into cross country walking trips before it became all mainstream, you know. The Boy nodded in agreement.Jack Kerouac was actually a recent divorcee who abandoned his infant daughter to get his kicks. He was also a devout Catholic who despised the excesses of the movement he helped create. He got mugged one night and that killed his interest in humanity. So he moved in with his mother and drank himself to death.
