true. If you're rich, college can be like high school but without all the restrictions. You still feel a lot like a teenager in your early 20s but you're an adult so you can go and do what ever the fuck you want.

Used to go bananas for girls like the one on the far left. I pretty much still dress the same. Thrift store Pendletons, black jeans, I'm actually growing the amporphus mop of hair back out for quarantine. Kinda look like if guy on the bottom was blonde. Mostly listened to punk and hardcore, post-punk and stuff like the velvet underground. Pretty much same taste slightly expanded. Never really stopped living the life. Hitchhiked around the country, and lived in bumfuck PNW working on weed grows for a bit before heading back to the city, in a 2 piece garage punk band with my gf. Stopped drinking cus I'm an insane alcoholic. Oh well. It's sad that this time is over but I'm glad I got to be a part of it. So many people didn't appreciate that decade. It was really a golden era.

I got no problem with your post, except for the fact that we were mostly poor. A lot of my peers were just service industry wage-slaves packed into a crappy rental house.

nostalgia/revival le "hipster indie" faggots are the scum of society and they should be shot. there isn't an ounce of creativity and originality in this type shit, just plain larping and revival without bringing anything new and boundary pushing to the table.
they all larped as "progressives" but the irony is their whole movement was drenched in revival and fetishization of the past, and these things are the definition of conservatism mixed with reactionary bullshite.

I always found them to be really fake and hypocritical. Vegan because of the environment, but still traveling to India and Vietnam for months on end, mysteriously being able to pay the tickets and expensive hostels with no jobs or in between study. Also buying expensive "vintage" or "Indian inspired" clothing. The whole neo-hippy thing they sometimes had going on was often very arrogant and "white upper middle class".

I was one of these guys and i can tell you that me and my friends were poor as fuck, maybe a little more into the punk side of things. I bought second hand clothes and vintage "ironic" shirts because i worked as a cook in a diner. The drumset for our garage band that i played was a gift from a friend of a friend in the rockabilly scene, I saved up to go to shows and drank PBR cause it's cheap. You also have to realize that every website and media outlet did the "hipsters are ruining everything" shtick, it was popular as fuck to hate hipsters hence why a show like Portlandia got 8 seasons. If you didn't like it that's okay but you hated it because you were told to by all the media at the time. Also Mumford and Sons and Arctic monkeys are pop bands.
This thread is making me nostalgic and sad. I miss my friends, late nights fueled by shitty beer, going to shows, buying 7" records, thrifting, all of it really. I hate getting older.

well I'm already into film photography so that's cool.

I'm not sure how to meet people through photography and mtb but I'm hoping i can meet people at niche synth events hopefully. Photography is more of a solo activity and mtbers usually already have an established ride group. It's not something you meet random people through I feel like.

i remember when indiecore hit upper middle class suburbia circa 2010. I was in 10th grade.

its funny to look back and remember how all the rich/popular kids, who up until this point would relentlessly bully and mock anyone remotely different, suddenly clamber to reinvent themselves as sensitive, indie, and into art house film (aka amelie) and underground bands (aka tame impala).

the same exact thing happened to me recently and I regret nothing, there was a lot of resentment. people grow apart but in reality i just felt like he was super two faced. don't have time for shit like that now. i rather be alone. i'm so ready to start over it'll probably take me a year to make friends probably even longer w/ this covid-shit i hope that when things open back up people will be so attention starved from quarantine/lockdown that it'll make it easier to meet people that's been dying for human interaction but things will probablly just go back to normal. people that already have friends at this age don't need more which sucks.

Okay, this thread made me sad as fuck. I was in film school back in 2009-2012, so people like these were the norm (including me), and those years were some of the greatest years of my life. Everything is gone now. I didn't do any fucking relevant thing since then. A lot of my old classmates are married, living aboard, and/or just doing regular jobs. I basically see the same type of people in my old college social media, it's like time stays the same and very lively in there while I'm growing old, tired and more and more depressed.

Hateful thread, quite painful to see.

They were quite literally everything to me, but I'm friends with none of those people now. I miss who they were in high school, who we all were. It was so simple, so easy. Everything was new and childishly romantic in the light of our youth. We spent every weekend together, snuck out on school nights, lied about parties, lied about love. We relied on each other emotionally, like a home away from home. I hate who they became, I hate where we all went. They're so far now that I can't even bring myself to reach out, even for "old time's sake". But now it is too late, we've all moved on. I will attend no reunions, I will never go back home.

The world turns. I find it is easiest just to forget. Thanks anon, I'm going to bed now.

You must understand that your perspective is unique, as most people do not have personality disorders. No doubt you think your viewpoint is a kind of acerbic genius that will wow and confound people in this thread, but rest assured that all the drama you'll drum up here is coming from people who genuinely cannot empathize with your point of view because the value of friendship and love and human connection is self evident to them. This is normal in human beings, we are social creatures.

Being in the gamer/nerd circles instead of being around people like these was probably the worst decision I made when I was younger, I don't even like games or so-called "nerd culture" stuff much anymore. Now it's too late to be a part of something else, my youth is lost.

I'm 36 and spent my early teens to my early twenties underage drinking in the park, doing E, speed, coke, ket, acid, weed. Yada yada yada. Hanging out, going to concerts and drum and bass / jungle nights, a metric fuckton of house parties... Most of it I can't remember because I was drunk or off my tits. There's more than a few people I used to run about with who're dead now. Suicide. Drugs overdoses. My oldest and closest friend is a raging alcoholic that simply can't be helped. We would kidnap him and lock him in a room to detox, but it's so bad that the physical withdrawal would likely kill him. I came close to being jailed for various violent offences outside pubs and nightclubs as well as twoc'ing. Ended up hospitalised in a secure unit against my will to finally give me the kick in the arse I needed to get my shit together and get sober.

Like any pictures, the ones posted here show moments in time that don't capture what is happening before and after. They're curated just like those posted to instagram today. I thank fucking Christ that when I was partying and doing drugs and boozing in the late 90s/early 00s, that digital cameras and camera phones barely existed and those that did were shit and not something people carried around on a night out. And thank fuck social media didn't exist in any capacity either.

My youth was lost because I was drunk, or fucked up on drugs and I don't remember most of it. I often see people saying how they'd love to do it all again, and honestly, I wouldn't. It took a fucking toll on me mentally and physically. Not just me either. My friends that are no longer here, and the ones that still are but are walking a razors edge. And the only reason I did any of that shit, was because I wanted to fit in with the people I thought were cool. The only thing I got was an extremely wide spectrum of music I'm into and internal organs that don't work quite right anymore. Grass is always greener, rose tinted glasses and all that.

glad you got your shit together, anon. but i don't think your story is particularly representative of "hipster culture" (if you wanna call it that). most were just bored middle class white kids decked out in vintage, flexing their supposedly superior "you've probably never heard of them" music tastes. in short: they we're boring fucks. and as a part of that generation i always felt we got the short end of the stick as far as youth cultures/subcultures are concerned, compared to other decades.

it's also pretty telling that no one ever called themselves "hipster". It was a derisive term from the very beginning, everything had to have 3 layers of lame-ass irony with fries on the side. it was shit. i 'member.

I'm not. I'm saying it isn't as glamorous as it appears in carefully curated pictures. So don't feel like he wasted his time doing stuff he enjoyed doing at the time. He did him at the time and that's all you can do. I had fun at the beginning doing what I was doing. But it started going down hill very fast. All weekend drug fuelled benders take their toll on the body and the mind. Where I am in my life now, I wish I'd tried a little less hard to be cool and spent more time being me.
>Glad you turned yours around though man.
Waving a knife around at police and getting shot with a taser and hog tied and bundled off to a mental hospital that looked like something out of One flew over the cuckoos nest has a way of making a person take stock of their life to date and actions.

this one hits me the hardest. When i was in high school one of my best friends family owned a local bar/venue that was very popular among all the skater, stoner, hipster kids. The bar was downstairs and a had a big courtyard where the bands would play and their apartment was upstairs. So when it was very crowded we used to sit in the windows looking down on the courtyard just like in this picture.
Last summer when a lot of our old friend group where back home, we visited that place again. Our friend now runs this place, his parents retired. So we were sitting on the window still again like in the good old days but the music was shit and the place was filled to brim with zoomers. I think i'll never forget the moment when we all just sat there in silence and one of my friends just said "guess we're really too old for this shit now, huh?". I think that night my youth died.

this thread is interesting i never realised how popular this aesthetic was. was 15-17 in the late 00s when this was popular, but lived in england in the middle of nowhere so all the fashion and music sense was like 5th hand and a couple of years out of date. Some random points i feel like mentioning:
>all the girls in this scene were insanely insecure, it was honestly fucked up. i can't overstate how insecure they were
>boys were 50% cool 50% dweebs
>everyone wanted to fuck everyone else constantly
>definitely the most fun "subculture" to be in at that time. the other options were square or chav, neither of whom ever really fucked
>no one had any money at all and we lived nowhere so we weren't going to shows (apart from local bands) or anything, mostly everything happened in someone's house so was actually a weirdly cosy time
>smell of strongbow still makes me want to vomit
>memorable sensations include the taste of cheap lager, sitting in wet fields in the dark, all our weed smelt like roast chicken for some reason, the music the local bands made was surprisingly decent

Me and my cousins used to do this. Pretend to be an underage girl and when a grown man asks for nudes, send him a file that deletes system32. what a time.

does anyone remember this movie? Not really a good movie lmao but it fits the aesthetic (all the guys in this look like stereotypic indie band members) and it makes me feel super nostalgic. It was pretty big when i was in high school but i think only in europe. There's a shitty american remake of it with miley cyrus

tfw being few years too young and still being in middleschool when all this "indie" stuff was a thing, I had no friends at the time and I daydreamed about having cool hipster friends
By the time I started going out and having friends everything was already asap rocky yeezy hypebeast niggerism

no she didn't. She's the lead singers sister. I follow her on instagram, she's alive, well and apparently sober. I think you mean his gf who passed away from an overdose but she is not the girl in the video

IDK man

Dated two like that (one still going on) and one liek >>15259619 said a distant narcissistic manipulator, which was really fucking worst.

On the other hand I became so emotionally blunted against her doing stuff like blackout drunks, bulimic purging etc. that I think I don't even care about that girl (compared to me lashing out ever time the former did that - which was in my teens).

Honestly, recently I am constantly questioning whether I should go the family route (which I never questioned before). Because It feels like I dont fucking care about any of that normanfag shit, even though I pretty successfully manage to play alaong.
