Thread: Hipster vs old school

My wife always says that my taste in clothes is an old man's.
She vetoes much of what I would buy, so I tend to wear Gothic t-shirts every day, and always wear hiking shoes. I am of course well groomed and always clean. I just like angels and grim reapers.
That is also my work attire (I am a systems engineer).

I think a lot of us probably feel that way. I'm 64, and I have photos of me in high school wearing khakis and white t-shirt. When I went to college, I traded the khakis for jeans, and eventually they started making colored t-shirts, so now I wear black ones. I feel like pretty much the same person, too.

And quite possibly get you killed....probably not a good idea.

lol yah i didnt say i wanted to look gangster ha ha

the difference that I see between hipster an old school is the mentality. you can be a hipster doofus all you want but old school is a mentality. I know what you mean hipster doofus are those guys with a fake horn rimmed glasses just for the hell of it with sports jacket and the beard but old school is a mentality that 1 Carries. I consider myself old school but I'm not a hipster doofus. sometimes I dress old school sometimes I dress hipster sometimes but I'm not a hipster doofus I'm old school. from my 2 cents I think it's all about the mentality ones a mentality and ones a way of life.

for the record I hate those hipster doofuses- remind me of want to be prep school guys

In my 20's I was a dedicated metal head, wearing concert t-shirts, jeans and combat boots. Now that I'm in my mid 40's I can't stand metal and my daily uniform is polo shirts with jeans and simple walking sneakers. I guess you could say that I sport the suburban look.

The only thing going against hipster types is that they try too hard to fit the personna they're trying to create.

I agree 100 percent they try too hard to fit some kind of persona you may do old school things but that does not make you a hipster!
