Can someone explain the current hipster beard thing
 

I'm living in a part of town that's right next to Houston's hipster mecca. I see this look fairly often. Usually the guys are wearing clunky old fashioned glasses, otherwise stylishly dressed, and then this huge beard that makes it look like they're one of the duck dynasty guys.

I REALLY don't get it. I would think this look with be like a babe repellent, but I assume they've had the kool-aid too.

Anyone understand this or know where it came from?

maybe it's a way to cover up those regrettable neck tattoos.

i'm bare faced. chinese dude.

if i could grow one, i would..hahah..just for fun. i live in the Bay Area, and i see your hipster mecca and raise you one hipster MOVEMENT..it is crazy over here.

i kinda think it's what pushing the SC pricing up over the top here. these guys make killer money in the dot.com thing, and want cool cars. half the time i drive my 911Sc..some dude in a trendy hat, beard..skinny jeans and expensive ass plaid shirt is trying to buy my car from me..

one day, one guy will offer me CRAZY money and i will hand the keys over..but not yet.

There is no explaining hipster trends.

You are not hip enough to understand man.......
(me neither) ;)

15 years from now there will be a new look and all these ex hipsters will wonder as we are wondering now.

I like the evolution.

^^^this

Everybody wants to be an individual.

(They're everywhere in PDX, too)

^^^just like everyone else

Conforming to non-conformity...

Worth a watch and a number of laughs!

(I need to learn how to embed vids)

Under the video on yt, there should be a button that says "Share". When you click that it will expand a small area and then there will be another button that says "embed". Click that and then copy the text in the box and paste into your post.

boooyaahhh

What I don't understand is how any of these guys get women. What woman in the last 80 yrs. wants a man with a beard like that?

They're all trying do be different, yet they're all doing the same thing.

Ah that is the best part. See the men act like they don't care about women and that drives the women crazy with desire. Like wearing a wedding ring!

The majority of the art dept guys I work with who look like that are gay. They call themselves "Bears".

A surprising number. Which is irritating, since I can't grow any sort of beard worth a damn.
