The "Hipster" style does have that kind of cultural attitude connected to it, yes.

Hipster = going through a homeless person's shopping car and wearing their clothes.

Scene = going on weheartit and copying the colors and symbols into your clothing palette.

Emo = Look like an over-made up version of Panic! at the Disco.

I think I got it.

I'll stick with Audrey Hepburn as my style icon.

Hey...did we ever do that here? Talk about our style icons? Does anyone else have a person/persons they look up to for style choices? David and I have this conversation all the time.

So what constitutes "a scene" though - is it like 'the grunge scene' or 'the goth scene' - something complete with its own music and style?

Scene, in what I understood, merely designated the culture and over all appearance (like the scene evoked by a short grassland to denote a prairie).

We genuine old farts have to protect the franchise.


Damn. I miss Padraic.

I was actually passed that by ungodlyfossil as a joke and it's part of what started my frustration - there was no clear indication of what separated those people from the rest of the weirdo herd except arbitrary names...

Kinda like Atheism+? hehe.
