Here's a new hair to split. What does that mean?

hipsters are naturally conceited, while hippies are conceited naturally?

also, i am told hipsters have trust funds...
 
My real-world ignorance about the states between the coasts knows no bounds, although I can tell you a lot about the Kansas-Missouri Act.

Wasn't it the Kansas-Nebraska Act?

You're not thinking of the Missouri Compromise, are you?
 
A wine maker I spoke to recently thought that these "hipster" wines could be very good, but complained that they all tasted similar and that the style obscures any sense of place. When I asked him what he meant by hipster wine, he mentioned zero sulfur and semi carbonic fermentation.

I'd argue one could tell a Hipster wine as well as one could tell a spoofed wine. Like any Great leap Forward, there are bound to be failures among the conformists.

Also known as Trustafarians.

No these are trust fund hippies.

They go to UC, Boulder and drive Range Rovers and smoke lots of pot, get Cs.

Hipsters, in the NY definition do usually rely on money from mom and dad, often from trust funds.

Hipsters in France do not truly need trust funds, an important difference, the state serves that purpose. They also smoke pot, but mixed with tobacco. They often make wine using no sulfur and semi-carbonic maceration with disastrous results.

When it's not an issue of wine, hipsters hang out around the village, dress in black, go to jazz clubs and snap their fingers instead of applauding.

Hippies live on communes, wear beaten up jeans and tie-dies, listen to the Grateful Dead and grunt enthusiastically instead of applauding.

Hipsters with literary aspiration read David Foster Wallace. Hippies with literary aspiration read Henry David Thoreau. Hipsters without such aspirations read Kerouac. Hippies without such aspirations read the I Ching.

There are more differences along these lines. I await application to wine.
 
I'm loving this taxonomy, though admittedly, Jonathan's hipsters have nothing to do with the wine hipsters of France's finest rolling unknown vineyards of the late 2000s.

VLM, too apposite.

Sigh. Conflation attack. It seems AP U.S. history was many many years ago.

Maybe. Maybe not. I'm not sure one has to do with the other.

Although, it could lead to further taxonomy splitting!

Top down hierarchical taxonomies are so over. It's all about bottom up collaborative tagging. Viva folksonomy!
 
Now that's just mean. Semicolon hyphen close parenthesis.

I think my position is a little more extreme than the world-renowned expert on metadata that I happen to live with, though I think she's generally on my side here, but I stand behind it because Sturgeon's Rule also applies to people. Down with folksonomies!

Is this thread drift?
 
Thread drift? No, not at all. We're still discussing the relative appearance of wood in hipster and traditional St. Joseph.

To be fair, folksonomies can teach you something about the folks. Whether that is also good metadata is rather more related to a different law... you get what you pay for.
