My kids told me this joke....

How do you drown a hipster?

Throw him in the mainstream! :D

Sort of. Getting certified by the USDA in food is hard and requires a lot of work. Naming the farm is a way of providing credibility.

They can, of course, be full of organic *****.

There it is.

My wife shops at a real butcher store for specific cuts.

BTW, I have no idea what a hipster is or does.

Got a new smoker and wanted to try some turkey. Went to the local butcher shop and was able to buy a turkey breast cut into 4 2lb chunks. It was $45. Still was a LOT of turkey breast.

Hipsters - "a person who follows the latest trends and fashions, especially those regarded as being outside the cultural mainstream." I'd say that's accurate, but I think these days most folks use it to specifically refer to the current generation of hipsters. They are sort of the modern hippy or beatnik, basically, anti-establishment in a way. They are not just a fashion/style, but include other things like yuppies or whatever.

I don't get it either.

I call them hyper fags myself.

I see a few around where I lives but when I get to LA and get on a bus. 1/3 of the bus has these people on it with brown hair. White stupid guys and I can't help but not laugh as its funny like living in a SNL skit.

Its like Grizzy Admans meets a white supremist.

Now you can spot them.

Over decades we have had:
Beatnicks
Hippies
"Dime store cowboys or goat ropers" (first time I have heard this one)
Now Hipsters
Have there been other names for the so called trendy folks over the decades.
What were the disco crowd called?

Wise man once told me "this too shall pass."
To which I'll add "until it loops around again."

Atleast none of them will be Marines or cops.

This guy. They are all over as soon as I go down the hill. I drive out to 10 min out to Pasadena and do most of our stuff because I don't want to be near them.

Y'all sound like grampa Simpson!

I'm not sure how butchers got roped into this thread; there's a grocery store next to my office (Local Foods, for north side Chicagoans reading) that may easily be considered 'hipster' by all you fogeys. It has a fantastic meat counter / butcher - they get in a whole cow (re: beef) at a time and have all sorts of unusual cuts and will give you anything you ask for ( in beef, pork, chicken, whatever) with a little notice, and it is really, really, high-quality meat. Well worth the $$ premium. If that's what a hipster butcher is like, I'll take more, please.

Agree on that for sure.


Btw, 'hipster' was used in Seinfeld years ago (I feel so old). Elaine called Kramer a hipster doofus iirc.

Read some were Hipsters are making butchering and Barbering a prestigious career choice these days.
Maybe that's just here in the S.F. bay area.

Hipsters are making any trade that was done in the early 20th century prestigious. As long as they get to dress like Ernest Shackleton they are happy

There is some level of cool to buying food that is associated with a certain farm, but there is a practical reason for it too. The food may indeed be "be full of organic *****," even if approved by the USDA, but if you know the farm it came from you know if it is truly organic and ethically raised. (Ethically raised is important to me, after seeing how chickens are raised in factory farms.) Merely knowing the name of the farm a carrot came from is trendy, but meaningless unless you actually know something about the farm.

It's fun to see the term "hipster" making comeback. In the '50s being "hip" meant knowing what was going on. A hipster was a person who kept up with the latest trends in pop culture. Now it's knowing what's trending on facebook and youtube. "Beatniks" were anti-hipsters who eschewed pop culture, but they were hip to the latest trends in beat culture.
I remember back in the early 60s my older cousin would say, "I'm hip to that," in place of "I know" or "I understand."
The more things change the more they stay the same.

We got em thick in Portland. My favorite? A guy dressed as a ventian gondolier. Just grabbing a burrito.

Damn good humor!

We have lots of folks wearing western wear around here. Some are real and for sure Cowboys or Cowgirls. I saw a F450 extended cab pulling a two-horse horse trailer pull up at the local gas station. Out hopped a 85 to 90 pound woman. She had the boots, hat and full western wear outfit. She pumped the fuel and some moron had pulled up in front of her so he could not pull forward. Then like a pro, she backed that rig up between two other cars and drove away with no issue. I was impressed. She was the real deal.

One of my friends was Orren Mixer. He was a fantastic western artist and he had a nice ranch with longhorn cattle and horses and donkeys. He never left the property without his cowboy hat. He was the real deal as well. He sounded and looked like a cowboy and was proud to say he was. And the "soil" on his boots was often the real deal bullcrap right from the barn. No one would ever call him a hipster.

Porsche "hipster"???
