Excuse me? You just linked to a post of mine in which I berated somebody for being judgemental. You sure you got the right post?

+1, Chief. Crushthedemoniac judges people by appearance, and by the lifestyle they enjoy. That is ignorance, in my opinion. The people that he is judging are likely less judgemental than he is. And that....is "ironic" ![]()

The OP-Crying about American culture as you yippee yap on your iPhone and drink a Pepsi. What an utter joke. Your jealousy is utterly palpable. What, did they tell you the chicks were gonna dig your accent? A cool accent is not going to overcome a bitter, shallow life. You and your misery, table for one!
To the yuppie haters- How DARE people live a life you don't approve of! You want to talk irony? Irony is an all knowing, all loving, all accepting, all hip trustafarian toolbox who in reality is utterly intolerant, utterly rigid, and utterly orthodox. Anyone outside the High Church of Accepted Lifestyles and Beliefs is to be shunned. But other than that, I'm ok, you're ok, right? "Authenticity" is elevated over all characteristics, whatever the hell authenticity is. It's a total cultural inversion, where success, hard work, striving to make good for one's family, whether it's a nice car or nice clothes or a nice neighborhood is to be ridiculed while squalor, filth, despondency & blight is celebrated. That yuppie a-hole who just got off the train, in his to be ridiculed brooks brothers suit & ridiculously bourgeois, neatly-dressed wife is a hell of alot more interesting than you pretentious phonies. One last thought- Myself and my yuppie brothers & sisters read the same books you have, listened to the same stuff, followed the same philosophers, and may have even held some of the same attitudes you do today. Then freshman year in highschool was over & we put that crap away in the box next to the G.I. Joe toys in the attic. So, you know, it might be time to get over it.

This is a fine example of an ironic beard. I found this image by googling "williamsburg beard".
![]() This is an image of a unironic beard.

So, to be clear- an "ironic beard" is a beard that's worn by someone who is actually making fun of beards? That just sounds stupid. Ironic/Irony- words that have been thrown around quite a bit on this thread. To quote the great Inigo Montoya- "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

If you ask me, a great deal of grooming goes into a nice beard.

Yes, David Byrne would definitely be at the top the OP's hipster sh*tlist as he rides by on an ironic retro bicycle. BTW, how do I tell if my beard's ironic, or simply a symbol of how lazy I am that it lets me get away with the least possible grooming? Or IS THAT the irony? That people think beards mean anything at all? Personally I think shaving is an affectation of artificially prolonged adolescence. Time was when people knew when to grow up! (and grow great big muttonchop sideburns too)

Actually, we are here among you, right under your nose but so uber ironic that you don't realize. We have taken irony to a whole nother level. We dress like students, we dress like housewives or in a suit and a tie, I changed my hairstyle so many times now don't know what I look like.

Are you kidding, anyway?! Lisa was the worst waitress I've ever experienced. Rude, never checked on us, never came back to the table ever, had to go and find her for a check, always hung outside or at the bar with people...in general, acted like you were bothering her by coming in to eat.
I actually met my husband there...well, we met online, but went to Hard Grove for our first "coffee safe place" meeting...so, besides being our favorite dive restaurant - it was nostalgic. Can't go back again, though - food rots, portions blow, and prices suck. I loved their garlic shrimp and yellow rice!!!

I think something about human nature prevents the individual, something similar to the pack mentality. I always think it is funny when people go to ends to be "different" by joining all the other similarly looking/acting different people.

If by wearing it, you're actually making fun of the look. That's why I always wear an ironic smile.

As someone with an UN-ironic beard I agree that ironic beards must go.

Again, I didn't say "tell me what the internet considers a hipster". I want to know what the people of JC (or at least, JCList) consider a hipster.

If you want the same tranquil atmosphere of DT JC without the Hipster/Yuppie scene then try the Heights best kept secret, away from it all and some parking spots to boot. There are different pockets of nice quiet areas in the Heights, the east side of the Heights reminds me of the East Village though.
