According to Urban Dictionary, hipsters are “people that try too hard to be different… by rejecting anything they deem to be too popular.”
In short: “pretentious d-bags”
With a description like that, it’s no wonder that everyone hates them – hell, even hipsters hate hipsters.
Non-hipsters think they’re too snobby, while actual hipsters would rather die than be identified as one.
For some reason, though, creators love designing Minecraft skins inspired by this subculture. Whether it’s a form of mockery or admiration, it’s hard to tell.
This patterned and fuzzy piece of clothing was a favorite during the grunge era, popularized by the likes of Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder.
Now instead of being worn to sing angsty songs onstage, it’s being worn by upper middle class 20-somethings as they browse secondhand bookstores and art galleries.
It’s a bit of an anticlimactic end for this piece of clothing. But at least it hasn’t become one of those 90s style trends that we’re now embarrassed about – like giant JNCO pants.
When society collapses and there are no more arthouse films to be smug about, would there still be hipsters?
It’s hard to imagine that there would be, but that didn’t stop Wynnnn from creating this Apocalyptic Hipster skin.
Dressed in an ironic floral-print sweater and ripped jeans, this skin is ready for you to explore barren wastelands while musing on Wes Anderson films.
Despite the fact that hipster men are typically sensitive and artistically inclined, they still feel the need to show their dominance through impractically large facial hair.
Men will always be men, I guess.
If you want to look like you have a dead ferret on your face, don’t miss on this Bearded Hipster skin by jeffbrady1985 – and we’ve got plenty more bearded skins to pick from if you want more ideas.
I remember people being puzzled by the whole chunky-glasses trend when it first started. The main question everyone was asking was, “Since when was it cool to look like a total nerd?”
If you look back at pop culture history, though, you’d know that it happened gradually.
From Woody Allen to Rivers Cuomo and actress Zooey Deschannel, these huge glasses have always been there, ready to snap onto the heads of hipsters like the facehuggers from Alien.
Now you can give in to the trend on Minecraft with this skin by TomKiora6.
What many people probably don’t know is that Coachella used to be a rock-based sausage fest.
The first-ever headliners back in 1999 were Beck, Tool, and Rage Against the Machine – bands that I highly doubt women who look like this skin would care about.
Fortunately, more genres and genders have been welcome at the festival since then as it became more popular. Of, course, that also meant a huge growth in ticket prices.
Coachella or no-chella, this skin is a must-have for hipster Minecraft players.
After seeing this skin, I now want to see an episode of Marvel’s “What If…?” where Thanos discovers record collecting and becomes a full-blown hipster.
I can see the episode so clearly in my head right now. Thanos snaps his fingers because he’s pissed that the Arcade Fire show he wants to go to is sold out.
Thanos snaps his fingers because Pitchfork gave the new Devendra Banhart album a 9.9 instead of a 10.
The possibilities are endless.
Marvel, if you’re reading this, call me. I’ll write it for free.
In all honesty, Santa would be terrible at his job if he were a hipster.
Imagine asking for the new Justin Bieber but getting Father John Misty on vinyl instead with a handwritten note saying “I like his earlier stuff better though.”
No, thank you, Hipster Santa. I like my music sugary and vapid.
Speaking of Father John Misty, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the inspiration for this skin by QTPAH2T.
If you were around to witness the indie rock boom of the mid 2000’s, then you most certainly have vivid memories of watching the Arctic Monkeys’ music video for “Cornerstone.”
Even though it’s just vocalist Alex Turner singing and messing around with a tape recorder, it still left an expression because of its overall playfulness.
Many fans (me included) felt a bit disappointed by his f*ckboy transformation in AM, but at least we have this skin based on “Cornerstone” to look back to.
