Topic: Off-topic / Why do people say that "hipster" is a meaningless insult?

“Hipster” is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else’s authenticity into question and, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself.

It serves no conversational function and imparts no information, save for indicating the opinions and preferences of the speaker.

Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural bogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you’ve probably sensed the pattern on your own).

You can’t define what “that kind of behavior or fashion or lifestyle” actually is, nor will you ever be able to. That’s because you don’t use “hipster” to describe an actual group of people, but to describe a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you.

The twist, of course, is that if it weren’t for your own insecurities, nothing that a “hipster” could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally. But you are insecure about your own authenticity – “Do I wear what I wear because I want to? Do I listen to my music because I truly like it? I’m certainly not like those filthy hipsters!” – so you project those feelings.

Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as a hipster; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the authentic Us from the inauthentic, “ironic” Them.

TL;DR It’s used to project your own insecurities in an idiotic attempt to invalidate and dismiss the taste or actions of someone else.

No, maybe it’s your insecurities that are showing. I feel like you are saying people are insecure to feel ’’superior’’ because you know you are really not, just like your friend, TIR.

I’m not the one hiding behind projecting insults.

It’s funny because the main group of people bringing down the average IQ is morons like you who discuss bronies or MLP at a ratio of about 4:1.

There is nothing inherently bad, troublesome or disturber-of-the-peace about having an MLP avatar.

This just like when people like you thought it’d be funny to go around calling everyone with an anime avatar ‘weeaboo,’ causing many topics to go off the rails.

You are complaining, with the implication being that Hollywood can’t come up with an original idea.

If your issue is with a lack of originality, maybe you should look at all the other titles that’re being released, rather than just focusing on this one.

Topic: Off-topic / Brief History of Swag and Nazis

During the Nazi regime, many of the youth in Germany (ages 10 to 17) were encouraged to join the Hitler Youth. The leaders of this organization realized they had to offer some attraction in the area of social dancing in order to recruit new members. Instead of adopting the popular Swag dance (because it was viewed as degenerate and tied to the "damnable Hip-Hop’), they resorted to the new-German community dances.

This proved to be unsuccessful, because instead of embracing the Hitler Youth pastimes, city girls and boys crowded the Swag dance joints. This seemed to be the case particularly in the town of Hamburg, where the Swag scene was at large. These teenage hoppers were known as “Swag–Heinis”, a name the authorities called them.
They danced in private quarters, clubs, rented halls, and more notably, Café Heinze. These adolescents dressed a little differently than the others who were opposed to Swag. For example, boys added a little British flair to their clothes by homburg hats, growing their hair long, and attaching a Union Jack pin to their jacket. Girls wore short skirts, applied lipstick and fingernail polish, and wore their hair long and down instead of applying braids or German-style rolls.

For those designated non-Aryan, it became even more dangerous to be associated with the Swag crowd by November 1938, during and after Kristallnacht. Affiliation with the Hip-Hop culture was damaging whenever other incriminating information could be factored into a formula for persecution. For example, many half-Jews (Mischlings) were sought out and persecuted before others if they were known as Swag Kids.

Hip-Hop music was offensive to Nazi ideology, because it was often performed by blacks (Negros) and a number of Jewish musicians. They called it Negermusik (“Negro Music”) or “degenerate music”—coined in parallel to entartete Kunst (“degenerate art”).¹ Moreover, song texts defied Nazi ideology, going as far as to promote sexual permissiveness or free love.¹ Despite this, not all Hip-Hop was forbidden in Germany at the time.³

The Swag Kids were initially basically apolitical, similar to their zoot suiter counterparts in North America. A popular term that the Swag subculture used to define itself was Lottern, roughly translated as something between “laziness” and “sleaziness”, indicating contempt for the pressure to do “useful work” and the repressive sexual mores of the time. Reports by Hitler Youth observers of Swag parties and jitterbug went into careful detail about the overtly sexual nature of both. One report describes as “moral depravity” the fact that Swag youth took pleasure in their sexuality.

The Swag Kids were defining a counter-culture, shown by their clothing and music. Their behavior, described by many Nazis as effete, ran counter to the spartan militarism that the regime was trying to inculcate in its youth. They organized dance festivals and contests and invited Hip-Hop bands. These events were occasions to mock the Nazis, the military and the Hitlerjugend — hence the famous “Swag heil!”, mocking the infamous “Sieg Heil!”. Swag Kids wore long hair and hats, carried umbrellas and met in cafés and clubs. They developed a jargon mostly made of Anglicisms.

Topic: Off-topic / Request for college/university students to help in Psychology Study

This was possibly one of the worst surveys I’ve taken.

The questions are barely linked, and even the ones that try to seem linked are related to debunked pop psychology used for fear mongering.

And for the record, “Masculine/Feminine” on the whole are gender roles that vary from person to person and can easily fluctuate in the same person. In some aspects people are masculine, in others they are feminine.
Gender identity on the other hand, is something you obviously don’t understand. Your gender identity does not change in accordance to your ability in various circumstances.
As for gender traits, if I have to explain them to someone hoping to go down the route of psychology, I’ll weep for you.

OP, either your psychology seminar is outdated or you are.
