So how long until hipsters die out. Big beards, stupid tattoos, braces, just trying to be different from the norm. Had a good run so far.

Hipsters are always there. They just change form.

Before the current mob it was the Nathan Barley look...

It's a far superior uniform than the horror that was grunge. As trends go it has been one of the better ones.

Just how retarded do you need to be to think that beard looks good?

Every decade and generation has its fads. I'm sure the same has been said at many times in history about different styles of dress and presentation.

By definition, the true hipsters would have moved on once the look became mainstream.

+1

I was too young for hippies, too much business for punk, embraced the look but not the behaviour of Yuppies, liked the smarter clothes of the 1990s - bought the Armani suits and the English Brogues, settled now in jeans and shirts.

Hipster look is just fine with me.

The funny thing is that these characters are trying to be different yet all conform to a certain 'look' and are then tagged under the hipster label.

It's like the 'dub' scene - lots of people with cars that have the same yawning modifications

I think clothes with vomitstains down the front could be one to watch, logical progression from jeans with the knees ripped out. smile

Given the Millenials ultra aggressive intolerance to anything that doesn't precisely confirm to their political doctrine, their constant talk of 'living space' and total absence of natural empathy for anything other than them self or a cat then I can only assume that the natural progression is to follow history, remove the beard, trim the tach and procure some snazzy, well fitted grey suits?

It's going to be Nazi Chic isn't it?

Can't understand why someone young wants to grow a load of face lace that puts years on them (unless they're 16 and trying to get in a pub).

The young bloke beard will be the mullet of the future. People will be looking back and shaking their heads.

Weak chins?. Ultimately if you're spending your life shopping for clothes, wearing facial products, standing in doorways having banal conversations and reliant on someone else for your spending money then a beard is going to be the only means to tell what's male and what's female?
