They would probably hate the comparison but they're the new Yuppies. Instead of stripey shirts and red braces it's beards and lumberjack shirts. Shoreditch is the new City, craft beers are the new Bollinger and mung bean yogurt is the new nouvelle cuisine.

I did have a rather nice craft pilsner made with champagne yeast a few weeks back.

Reminds me of an experimental pilsner with a champagne yeast from the early '90s called ZEISS. Head-mental stuff at something like 8.2%, but slipped down like silk.

I am having a coffee in London Road, the wi-fi password is 'camberwellcarrot'. The bloke that made the coffee is wearing g a flat call, the music is The Byrds. The cakes are evidently made with love.

I'm not comfortable.

As you can see it's local-ish. Very dry and crisp.

Which is the main point of the article I posted ie they're young and upwardly mobile without the wankery excesses of 90s

I'll probably give you that. Like I say I've worked with some (although I hadn't heard of the term 'hipster' referring to a specific sub-group until a few months ago) and they were mostly ok, whereas the City Yuppies that I met in the 1980s were all utter wankers. It's still not really my 'scene' though.

Awfully shallow as this is but its the beard culture that hacks me off about hipsters.

I've sported my damn beard for high on ten years and I get lumped in as a hipster with alarming regularity.

But then isn't "I had a beard before they were cool" quite a hipster thing to say?

Now I don't know what I am.

Have a craft beer and chill.

Tell you what tho. This hipster look is helping ugly blokes get laid just by growing a bushy beard and having a quiffy hairdo.

I noticed that, a proper hipster clone being interviewed.

The biggest gap between scientific and public opinion is that GM crops are 100% safe(according to scientists), lets hope these odd twats have zero influence on the future as hipster is the high preist of the Mecca of stupid. :bigwave:

"If more of us lived like them [hipsters], the world could be greener, more left-wing and less preoccupied by greed.....and the industries in which they work are driving our economy."

You can't argue with any of that can you?

Actually I disagree..... Peel away the facade and we are left with this.............
