>It's funny to me when guys say this and all they did was live in a 500k city and go out at night with friends.
By the time I was 21 or 22, I had already fucked like 50 women or something?

>That's how fucked the world is, if you don't live in the big city, you are just filtered out by dating apps and there is no opener because you have not been swiped on.
DO NOT USE THE FUCKING APPS. Build your REAL LIFE social circle. The apps and social media all run off algorithms to fuck over certain types of people and uplift others. The apps are also full of bots, flakes, scammers and weirdos without social lives.

Build your real life social circle and you can have endless pussy. At least you could 7+ years ago, I haven't been trying to date since I had my 1st kid, also, I would never date or fuck a vaxxhole, so that probably eliminates 80% of all women right there.

Build your own friend circle and find your community. That is the #1 way to become socially fluid.

We WERE doing something about it...

Could be a long post to explain it, but I can summarize everything by pointing out that he is not a corporate entity backed by the establishment putting out canned art. A schizo would have luck if he contacted Ryan about publishing. This is what we need of in the world, less corporate voices, more regular people creating and sharing.
>hipsters
Organic culture died when hipsters were destroyed by the establishment. EVERYTIHNG is corporate now, the movie "Fight Club" was only 20ish years ago and there is hardly any hate for plasticized, corporate artists and the bullshit culture.

Forgive the cliche but women want to "find their tribe" and if you hipstermaxx you can absolutely attract women like you wouldn't believe.

Hipsterism was the greatest anti-corporate movement in my 45 years on this planet. The algorithm had not been perfected while hipsters were a cultural phenomenon.
>serendipity
The best way to describe hipsterism is to relate it to the word "serendipity", the meaning that is lost on a chin-to-chest society. Algorithms by nature do not allow for serendipity.

How many people will use their phones or whatever to look up what to do on a Friday night on the town?
>2010
Any day of the week you could walk outside of your place in downtown Vancouver and wander to see an art show, catch a street performance of some band, see a band at your local pub, and wander around and bump into the many friends that live in your same neighbourhood.

Even in your building, there were enough hipsters that people would leave their doors propped open, so that people on the floor could wander in with a drink in hand and discuss the latest music, or what's going on for that night... you know, asking your local friends rather than your fucking phone.
>hipsterism
You'll notice there will never be any real discussion of this culture, or if there is, it is all mockery. Maybe we need to mock it ironically to bring it back in style, because the alternative is this hyper-corporate dystopian hellscape where EVERYTHING is exactly as you expect it to be in 2023.

Hipsterism was just as much about being authentic as it was about being unironically fake. You can't be authentic without also admitting that you're being a try-hard, faking it until you make it, but the faking it "in your own way" is what made things so cool. Even if you were a dork, you were a dork in your own $10 vintage clothing way.
>2023
Vintage clothing is now the biggest fucking ripoff

I was a hipster, it was the best time of my life and I had soooooooooooo much fun!

Then I had my kid, right when hipsterism was deliberately being killed so globohomo could roll out trannies and faggots as the new "counter-culture" to pave-over any organic cultural spaces.

Now in 2023, you have zero avenues of cultural creation. I cannot find my tribe.
