Are aesthetics from the late 2000s/early 2010s hipster era still decent? How do they hold up?

late 2000s early 2010s was the peak of indie movies starring michel cera and zooy dechanale directed by wes anderson where everything was indie and quirky
arcade fire won the grammy of the year.
animal collective were at their peak with Merriweather post pavilion
yup, we thought everything would be white forever.
then obama got elected, rock died, indie died, and p4k gave kanye a 10

Wasn’t really a thing until maybe 2010, even in California. People were still scene kids in 2008 or a variant of until Skrillex became irrelevant.

Hipsters couldn’t get laid without bullshitting everything about them (fraud) and bribing with drugs like predators.

we have a whole swag/jerk era look to get through first

Hipsters were never cool. They were always a fringe subculture and the original "performative male". Everything they did was "ironic", inauthentic and literally performative. So nobody liked or respected them because nobody likes fake people and smug douchebags. Being a hipster looking like one was seen as an insult. The late 2000s and early 2010s were more about the continuation of emo fashion.

>never got the sex that hipsters did
Yeah, because all of those dudes constantly claimed to be bi, to be okay with sex work, and to do the whole polyamorous thing, which just resulted in their gf(male) fucking around on them. I married my high-school sweetheart. I know, sooo uncool. Imagine not being a degenerate faggot, lmao.

That picture shows skater kid/pop punk fashion. Emo/scene kids themselves were more vilified by society than hipsters ever were, there was a whole moral panic about it causing self-harm among the youth.
To say nothing of "real emos", the proto-hipsters who listened to Cap'n Jazz and AF.

anon. everything becomes nostalgia fodder at some point. EVERYTHING. you can bet your sweet arse sometime around 2030 college-age Gen Alphies are going to be wearing flannel and skinny jeans as a 'retro throwback to the 2010s'. bookmark this post.

I think this is one of the earliest cases of the internet making up things to be mad at and hate. I’m 40 and was an adult for that time period and you really didn’t actually see people dressed that way you only saw this phenomenon ok the internet where people would post it and bitch about it, you can go back and watch footage of Edward sharpe or Mumford and sons concerts and the people in the audience weren’t even dressed like this it’s all sweaty white dudes in tank tops

Lol. Straw-manning the weakest hipster variant, classic cope X'D
Your inner will so threatened by the thought of a hipster slinging raw cock on fresh hippy white girls that you project an entire subservient cuckold fantasy.
Godspeed in your Wegovy journey friendo.

If you stayed in your tiny town in a flyover state, you probably never saw this. "List" all the places you lived in from 2005 to 2015. List is in scare quotes because I imagine it's just one place, so not a list at all.

Some of this is inaccurate.
>green sunglasses
That was emo, not hipster. Rayban Clubmasters and shit like that were hipster.
>those slip on shoes
Also wrong, everyone had Vans Classics. Slip on things were an emo era thing.
>hand tattoos
I didn't see a lot of tattoos honestly, at least never on hands anyway.
The rest is accurate enough. Hoodies were essential and they were always American Apparel with the full zip.

Hipsters who moved to NYC, specifically Brooklyn, in the early 2000s got on the ground floor of the real estate market and now own some of the most valuable properties in the country. I'd take wearing shitty outfits at a chance to build generational wealth.

>yeah but every kid back then wanted to be Blink 182
As I said, it's casual skater dude fashion. They were shopping at Aeropostale and Pacific Sunwear, not Hot Topic. Emos were wearing skinny jeans when it was dangerously uncool to do so.
>And they were an offshoot of emo in many ways
How do you figure? Their pop punk lineage goes back to bands like the Descendents, who predate anything you'd call emo.

>at least knew interesting people.
You *needed* to know interesting people to make stuff happen and attend the fun parties/events. Back then, meeting those people was easy. Unfortunately, the people who matter either moved out of the city or started families and are total shut-ins.

Wrong. Hipster subculture didn't solidify until the 2010s. A 20yo dressing like OP in 2008 is more emo or scene.
>>
>>18676170
Pop-Punk and emo are intrinsically linked. They have separate roots, but they converged for a while.
When you say emo you don't think of Cap'n Jazz or American Baseball. You probably immediately think of Blink-182, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, All American Rejects, Sum 41, etc.

This. People were scene in 2008 and the prior four years were emo, and not that arrogant sweater vest indie shit from Ohio. Then people were a more metalcore and dub step variant of scene later when hipster was truly staring in 2010. Essentially the actual tail end of scene had side shaved heads, seapunk, and don’t forget that galaxy shit. From that point on it became absorbed into folk and indie hipster. The ones who wanted to stay more edgy and teenage-like moved onto Antifa crust punk.

J crew has a bunch of plain v necks on deep (heh) discount right now, go look on their site in the men’s sale
I’m sure you can still get 3-packs of Hanes or w/e too, that’s what I used to do when I didn’t want to shell out for American apparel

I'm pretty sure pbr was some kind of attempt to appropriate a masculine blue collar cred, aside from being cheap.

Skinny jeans, Williamsburg, American Apparel, PBR, fixie bicycle, American Spirit cigarettes, thrift store clothes, indie rock, attempts at artsy hobbies (ie: a big camera hanging from their neck), V-neck tee, twee vintage, ironic facial hair, ironic glasses, ironic hats, apathetic pretentiousness.
By 2008, this had all been rock solidly established as HIPSTER. It really had. You just don't know.

>and the original "performative male"
are you sure about that
>>
>>18670113
Hipsters originally weren't performative. It was all done ironically by people who didn't fit in the mold of being traditionally perfect in some way.
It eventually bled into mainstream men's style and it just became a visual thing, only performative in as so much as people wear things they don't like as part of following trends.
Modern posers are called "performative males" because they consciously try to project an image of being cultured, soft with rough edges etc.
I don't like the fact that the phrase turned into a meme and prefer just saying what people have said since forever, these people are fakes and posers.

>Hipsters originally weren't performative
hipster were definitely performative even by your definition
>because they consciously try to project an image of being cultured, soft with rough edges etc.
just like hipsters consciously trying to project an image of a cultured person with a detached, ironic personality and aesthetic. why do you think hipsters did the metrosexual lumberjack thing? it was to fuse the traditional "shallow" masculine image of the lumberjack outdoorsman, with the cultured techie foodie with an imac who read feminist literature and listened to hip indie music.
