Ugh. Fuckin’ hipsters. I auditioned at a hipster strip club awhile ago in Portland, and the only thing more obnoxious than the stick-thin, ironically tattooed fellow dancers were the clients whose disdainful expressions were rarely ever raised above their cans of PBR.

Why hipster bashing should remain alive and well: https://www.adbusters.org/magazine/79/hipster.html

I think people should be allowed to have their own aesthetic without having to walk on eggshells regarding how they choose to categorize themselves. I don’t think they were necessarily implying anything negative about porn, just stating that it was not their intention to make anything explicitly sexual (though I have to raise my eyebrow a bit at that statement preceding the girl rolling on the ground with vanilla ice cream streaming down her face). Granted, as you said, their content is actually porn for some people – apparently, so are your arms. A line has got to be drawn somewhere. I can respect someone with a well defined sense of what they are about even if I don’t necessarily share their outlook. The hipster bashing meme is really bizarre to me. I mean, I get that it’s “in” and a safe target, but the impetus is a little more nebulous. I don’t think there is a single subculture in Western society that wouldn’t look silly when dissected and scrutinized.

Well, at least it looks like the hipsters are way better at making “porn” than they are at dancing at shows.

Yes, they can say it’s not porn, it’s not a problem. It’s just worth calling into question when they’re implying porn is a bad thing. For some people, their content is actually porn.

I get that they want to be “erotic” and not “pornographic” — and they should have a soundbite about the difference — but I don’t want to be made to feel bad for liking porn, too.

I don’t see the problem in folks getting to call their work whatever they like. Met Art Fine Nudes do it right there in the sidebar.

I'm not sure my porn has been suffering from a lack of in jokes and irony. ~Rhaco
