Anime conventions stopped being about anime a while ago, now it's a place for hipsters to dress up and have sex with each other.
It's somehow worse than fat sweaty neckbeards arguing about their Cardcaptor cosplays.

its more like ''otaku culture'', really, as long as the discussion is not about alfa-male cosplayers having sex with consluts.
Also, conventions are fun because of shopping. Some panels/"lectures" can be somewhat interesting as well. And I guess its fun if you enjoy looking at cosplay.

There was tons of /b/ meme spouting, dancing to Haruhi and Caramelldansen, and other stereotypical weeaboo faggotry. I'm planning on only going to one day this year as a photographer/journalist.

Hipster was originally used to describe white guys in the 40s who went against the social norms of the day and immersed themselves in the black community, digging that hot jazz, writing bizarre poetry and doing all sorts of drug-related activities. Today it refers to upper-class whites trying to do the same thing, but in a much more shallow, commercialized sense. If you want to know what a hipster is, drive to Brooklyn.

Using the term to describe anything outside of these specific subcultures is incorrect, and kind of embarrassing to boot.

True "irony" here is the fact that if you go to cons dressed casually (jeans and a t-shirt) the weeaboo faggots tend to go out of their way to avoid you.

I laugh to their face when they get embarrassed when some kid's mom looks at them disappointingly.
