I had an email-conversation with a guy about what it is like being hipster, a hipster, the feeling of being a hipster and if we’re hipster runoff 3.9

Guy
i was just reading your blog again and saw in the contact contense that one of your member’s name is Mi-nou…
is she/he (more she for me right now haha) korea (if yes it could be also a male’s name O.o)…
anyways im asking cos its so similar to my name haha

TFL
nou, sry for disappointing you. she’s no korean.
maybe she’s a male captured in a body of a korean broad?
or maybe someones daughter captured in a body of someone’s son?!
or maybe it is you, nou?
aren’t we all brothers…from different mothers?
holla, who the hell knows?

we are no hipsters.
we hate hipsters.
can we hate ppl reading our blog?
are we responsible for the fact that just hipsters read us?
the pictures are stolen.
we’re nothing than somebody writing about something, that is not from us.
good electro is rare, my son.
not only in brln.
but for you, we give everything to find the best stuff played live in bln. in fact, it is seldom that we could be around there and have a quite nice prty.
cheers.
sending sunbeams from our HQ 2 your HQ.

Guy

well isnt beeing a hipster the meaning of running off :/??
i mean oke to say “im a hipster” now is total mainstream cos everyones tryin to be a hipster so i think its normal that you say that you aint.
but aint it about beeing a tru or untru hipster?…like the guy from hipsterrunoff always…beeing alt alt or alt mainstream :/ oke im not a big fan of hipsterrunoff but it amuses me how ppl think to be alt haha
ah dunno i dont like this topic… be who you are and and that makes you human..nothing else haha
its seldom that your at parties or seldom at a good party? i dont rly got that…
im just making myself a good time with dancing like tecktonik (my few little moves xDD but ill practice haha) or poppin and wavin (which is more my dancestyle)
*buzzin the button-to-blow-off-the-clouds* >.<)-x

TFL
Be what u want 2 be is what it is all about nowadays.
Do we really h8 ppl or do we just pretend to cuz we’re bored kidz 2008?
the fact is that anyone is trying to be so individual and forget that we’re all one and should tell ourselves sometimes that we like each other and are not the jealous modern persons we pretend 2 be.
we dig individuals, but we also see that not every individual is so individual like he wants 2 be.
not everyone who owns a mac is a dj. not everyone who owns a pencil is an artist. not everyone who owns a colored sweater is the boss the hood.
we’re seldom in bln and at good parties to dance like Lil’ Kids.
peng.

Now, is anyone still thinking, that we do not care 4 our readers, their lifes and their thoughts? You have sth on ur mind? You’ve got 2 know: we’re there 4 u!
To think about we share a lovely lively track with you from our good friends Oldschoolreunion to feel oldskool again!
Mediafire: Chic And The Tramp - Delorean (Oldschoolreunion Back To The Future 4 Remix)
individuum oder hipster sein ist doch eh alles quatsch mit soße. jedem das seine und so wie es ihm gefällt… ich mag bloß nicht immer diese abfälligen oder arroganten sprüche/voruteile gegen menschen, die nicht soweit in der materie (musik/mode/kultur/blabla) drinstecken. das scheint auch manchmal hier in texten durch, z.b: “we dig individuals, but we also see that not every individual is so individual like he wants 2 be” - wer legt denn bitte individualität fest?
Comment by Jiniuz on 19th Aug 2008 @ 18:31This post started to be quite boring, but overall it was funny. And about the word “hipsters” who uses that anymore?… really(and you guys don’t even know the definition of “hipster” anyway,its like the U.S and England are the main trendsetters and then every country tries to copy and have no grasp behind the real meaning of what they are trying to follow and imitate. I still can’t find a good band in this site yet,but I did find some poetic words to describe some of them-but that still wont make the songs sound any better. And I dont understand why you post lame groups we have all come across in myspace. This blog is probably the worst I have seen this year.
I can’t understand half of what you write here. If you don’t know the correct way to say it in english, download Microsoft Word and then post it here, because all this mess and senseless posts are just pure rubbish!. Sorry to sound negative, but I have to be honest, I am sure you can do better ( you have the right idea ).









I think arguing about what is or isn’t hipster nowadays is really dull, and completely redundant since these days every ‘youth’ type movement is called hipster at one point and there are a hundred ‘obvious’ signs to spot them out. Obviously hipsters listen to MIA/The Birthday Party/Madonna/Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, who have swept-over-one-eye haircuts/big ’80s haircuts/short haircuts, and wear neon/plaid/all black/designer clothing/thrift store clothing. My 62 year old Indian neighbor must be a hipster, he owns a fedora and smokes Parliaments. Stupid.
