The kind of people that I don't like (and I have met and spent time with these people) are the kind of people that refuse to like something because it is mainstream ("I heard some 13 year olds listening to it *sigh* I have to find a new band to like") and will drone on about how everyone around them is sheep and they will go out of their way to look "unique" "cool" or "different" and they just do not feel comfortable doing anything that looks remotely "socially acceptable".
My least favorite aspect about them is the paradox of their thought process. They will say "be yourself, not who others want you to be and be tolerant and open minded" and shit talk someone who follows a different philosophy from them (like someone like me who doesn't do the tattoo/piercing/funky hair color thing and has to look "normal" and wear a uniform at my work) in the same breath. They are incredibly pretentious and get some sort of strange satisfaction from looking down on people who like popular TV shows, listen to Pop music or go to church every Sunday.
The worst one I met... deleted me off of his Facebook because his spoiled little pampered ass posted something about how he doesn't want to give up his individuality for a paycheck and asked if it was even worth it to any of us and I posted that he wouldn't need to ask that question if HE was the one having to put food on the table... I got sick of hearing from him anyway.
To me, it seems like they NEED their "individuality", they CLING to it, they need to be "different" otherwise their identity crumbles to bits. I'd feel bad for them... if they weren't so rude =/
Yeah. I agree with you. The funny thing about these people is that they claim to be free spirited, but they seem to forget that the whole point of being free spirited is to follow the beat of your own drum. They call other people sheep when in reality they are being "sheep" themselves because they are following the rules of whatever they think individuality is.
Is it normal to hate hipsters?
