This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

everyone who isn’t a corporate drone is a “hipster” now….
reminds me of how back in the day, everyone who wasn’t a corporate drone was a “hippie”….
Let's be real, if you are wearing an intact Sub-Pop tee in 2025, you're a tectbook hipster.
let’s be really real, they sell sub pop tshirts at walmart… this pamphlet is probably fake, btw.
nirvana is classic rock now.
How dare you. Kurt died, what, ten years ago? Fifteen.
VERY RECENTLY
Dude he died before I was born and my back hurts
Hipsters used to mean try hards for attention that spend all their energy of staying ahead of what is popular.
Now it means any man that dress casually but have spent a single thought on what they wear.
It seems these people calling out "hipsters" think everybody must conform to worn out monochrome t-shirts and blue jeans. Until somebody does it with a nice haircut slightly out of the ordinary, then they too are a hipster. These people would have been mad at The Beatles for their long hair back some ten years after their breakthrough.
I thought hipsters had to wear non-prescription thick rimmed glasses and carry a satchel / record bag. I guess standards have slipped
that’s just a silly redefinition of words….
no, they don’t mean those things
well don't leave us hanging
hang in there, baby
if you refute someone's point, you need to provide a counterpoint - otherwise people will think that your only ability is to toss insults
i don’t engage with trolls.
but to “refute” you: you didn’t have a point, you just completely made up your own, brand-new definitions…
every dictionary that has any definition of these words refutes your compulsive lying, i won’t copy and paste them and dance for you.

i do hope whatever boring, sad, forces that compel you to try to annoy people online gets better and you find a more fulfilling way to spend your life, before you wake up one day realizing you’ve wasted countless hours of trying your best to get attention by being irritating online and making stuff up.
Just imagine, if you spent the energy you spend trying to interrupt people having conversations into ANY endeavor, you could actually become an interesting person and get positive attention…
you trolls are just so sad.
case in point
i feel bad for people like you
That's absolutely not what either of those words mean. Hippies were participants in a mid 20th century counterculture with elements such as use of psychedelic drugs, cannabis use, opposition to war, communal living, free love, returning to harmony with nature, and rejection of traditional societal norms.
Yes they had many descendant movements, such as the techno hippies (who ultimately descended into the open source movement), the new age, the Jesus freaks, etc and their influence can even be found in those who rejected them. But there were hippies who were posers and who were only in it for drugs or sex.
Hipster is a derogatory term for young primarily urban people focusing on aesthetics and individualism thats infamously hard to pin down and is largely associated with early 10s indie and social media scenes. In fact it is largely associated with outright rejection of any mass produced culture
