Does anyone else get such guilty pleasure out of www.latfh.com?

Ha! I didn't know that there was a website devoted to such a thing.

I do enjoy making fun of hipsters, myself. AND, I think I should be allowed to, since I once ventured too closely into that realm...although, it was a few years ago, before the "movement" really started to get ridiculous.

Spoken like a true hipster.

Just teasing -- I've been there too... not my finest moment. C-U has a good share of them down around campus. A number of them in some semblance of a hipster bicycle gang blocked my progress last time I had the gall to commute up there in an AUTOMOBILE. Some sort of mini-Critical Mass ride or something.

Ugh, tell me about it! Urbana is hipster paradise (although it's a nice town minus them, too)

I know what you mean about the critical mass...what's the point!? It's a college campus, TONS of people ride their bikes already. I guess they just don't realize that they are preaching to the choir.

Don't get me started though! (You can if you want, I enjoy a good rant)
I'll be you 99% of the "critical mass" were on their "fixies" too.

Basically, stay away from Caffe Paradiso if you don't want to see any of them when you are in town!

I was pretty indifferent towards them as a whole, until I met the guy that rented my apartment last year..he came over all smug and stuff, and he was wearing the dumbest, 1800s French sailor man-pri shorts I've ever seen. Ha! After that, it was war

He asked if he could move in early, and I said no, unless he could deal with my death metal on a daily basis. I never heard from him again

On a side note, I'd much rather deal with a hipster than the overly tanned, spiked hair, armani graphic tee wearing guys that plague ALL of Chicagoland, where I unfortunately have to move back to on Tuesday.

Oh yeah... the pretty people. Love them, too.

At least hipsters can have semi-decent taste in music, and sometimes ride interesting bikes.

BRUTAL!! I get similar reactions but I think in Philadelphia people are pretty open to different styles and music. Cruise around blasting metal (double bass from the subs

) and you'll either get a thumbs up or a dirty glance. Part of it may have to do with it NOT being rap blasted from the subs. Usually its not too loud either, only enough to hear when you're pulled up at a stoplight, but still.
