I'm at a hipster bar

Buck, I'm trying to figure out the nicest way to say this...

Someone your age liking Bob Dylan doesn't make you a hipster. It just means you grew up then. It's the 22-year-olds claiming Dylan that are hipster doofi.

 

Hey, I'm 39. I'm not old; I'm just middle-aged.

 

But that's my point. You were around (though young) for Dylan's biggest time. The "hipsters" weren't.

 

If he's 39, he wasn't born yet during the peak of Dylan's popularity.

 

That is also a dirty lie. Please see Dante reference on other thread.

 

And you're pissed that the boss made you put it back on.

 

That is, in fact, the key distinction. The obnoxious hipsters are the ones who tout The Stooges and Marvin Gaye as if they alone just discovered them.

 

The Stooges and Marvin Gaye would have been a great concert.

 

The Stooges part would be good, but the Marvin Gaye part would be kind of dull, what with him lying there dead and all.

 

I was speaking in past tense. You got ketchup in your ears?

 

I went ot middle school with the Stooges. They used to practice in my parents' garage.
I'm not syaing I discovered them. I'm just saying I heard of them before you did.
