Damn. I have a fedora that I wear when it rains–it’s my only hat right now that keeps the rain off me. You make me want to wear it and smoke a corncob pipe and don a sharkskin suit, just to watch you explode.

I will see it when you point out a specific example, rather than make empty generalizations. That was a request for a cite, by the way.
I direct you to the posts you have made. All of them, each one equally pretentious. You came into a rant, ranted at the ranter for ranting. You’re an idiot.

So I guess they didn’t have a hat check at this place? It used to be that everyone wore a hat. I don’t know why, and I don’t know why they stopped wearing hats. And at one time Catholic women had to wear a hat at church. Was there something that forced you to be behind this person, and pay so much attention to him? Why didn’t you just move to a place with a better view of the stage? Have you had bad experiences with people who wear fedoras in the past?
In this day and age, I can’t imagine how the term “hipster” is defined. For every person wearing a fedora there’s someone adamantly playing bongos. Do you know how quickly Death Cab will be long forgotten?
Man, you can’t have any fun being a curmudgeon around here, anymore.
[sub]Jurph, I like your style. BUT GET OFF MY LAWN.[/sub]
Here’s a little lexicograpghical help for you, from Mirriam-Webster.
I do see now why you rejected my advice to consult a mirror. It must be hell never knowing if what you see is real.
What ever happened to a polite tap on the shoulder and an “excuse me sir, your hat is obstructing my view. Would you mind removing it?” Most guys like that at a show are more than delighted to assist an attractive young lady.
In addition, you are in a large building. Unless there was a sea of fadora hat wearin’ assholes (not entirely unlikely) one could simple move two feet to the left or right. Yeah, i know, there are other people around, but again, it’s your own social awkwardness if you can’t move past one or two people.
Way to pass judgement on someone when you can’t even deal with your own social hangups. Just because you can’t have fun don’t make it the fault of another person. I hate people like you at shows.
My wife and the government are both going to be very surprised to discover that I’m an attractive young lady (I’m none of the above). If you had read the thread, you wouldn’t have asked the question you did – since it’s been answered twice – but then if you had read the thread, you also wouldn’t have had nearly as much fun coming in to shit all over me. I don’t think you’re a very nice person!
Sure, I am now. But at the time of the incident in the OP, I was in the 9:30 Club, cheek-to-jowl with people. Moving in any direction was a dicey proposition.
I had plenty of fun. Way to pass judgement on me when you can’t even be arsed to read the thread. Also, “social hangups”? The 1970s are on line three, and they want their slang back.
I hate people who don’t bother to read the thread, and just come in to crap all over the OP. I bet you smell bad and wear ugly hats.
Thank you for your lexicographical help, it was most umm, actually it did very little. I learned that Rant was taken from the dutch though! It still stands, you are doing the same thing you are bitching about, only for a different subject.
Keep on keeping on though! Don’t let your hypocrisy stand in the way of your righteous indignation!
The question I have is “Why do you care what he rants about?”
The ‘pretense’ is that you’re above it. Come on down into the muck, enjoy yourself, you know we’ve got you by the ankles anyway.

I thought you were refering to yourself. Apparently several of you gathered behind this asshat.
Hmm. If there were some guy wearing a hat that displeased me, I’d probably just say “I don’t like that guy’s hat.” It’s hard to know if he’s pretending to anything. I’m trying to understand why wearing a fedora is “pretentious.” What is he pretending to be? Please fill me in. I’d be the first to say it looks kind of silly, but I don’t understand why it should offend me.
Is it your position then that all rants should be read and not replied to? Do you assume that any response to a Pit thread implies 'caring’about it. If so, why reserve your animus for me? And lastly, at the risk of taxing your research abilities, can you show where I have pretended to be ‘above it’, and why such behavior would be pretentious?
Are we talking about this kind of hat? If so then you should have set it on fire. 
Jurph I am with you to the end on this one.
Where the fuck did these hipsters come from anyways? It seems their goal in life is to strike a pose and let everyone see how cool they are. I went to see the Hives awhile back and I expected hipsters to be there but I wasn’t prepared to walk into a concert full of boys in girls pants.
The thing that really gets me though is that they don’t do anything. The Hives are a pretty rocking band but the hipsters all just stood there during the whole show not moving. There was no one dancing,jumping ,singing, no fists in the air. Nothing. They just stood there in place and watched. And it wasn’t even a seated venue.
In short the problem with hipsters is they are the ones killing rock & roll.
You remember a disturbing amount of detail about this guy. The way he stood, the leathery smell of his jacket, the manly scent . . . . What did his bulge look like? I don’t think we got the details on that. For someone that pissed you off so much, you seem oddly fascinated with him.
Preferably while the dude in the picture is wearing it! 
Trunk’s right. Fuck these other idiots. Anyone shooting for the meta-ironic hipster angle is automatically a scenester and an asshole.
Uh, yeah, whatever. I’m 5’5" and a 5’6" guy with a fedora on would have completely blocked my view, making me want to rip his hat off and shove it up his ass without crumpling it.
I’m seething just thinking of it.
Goddamn inconsiderate concert-goers. :mad:
Yeah, but so would a 5’8" guy, and let’s face it, pretty much every guy in the world is that tall or taller. I’m 6’2" - what the hell could I do if I were in front of you? And at least you could ask the hat-wearer to take his hat off. It’s not like he was trying to crowd surf, or pee on people’s knees. Maybe you should wear lifts - the google ads have been pushing them something fierce lately.
Generally speaking, this thread makes me want to piss on poorly-dressed short people at gigs. Sheesh - how can people invest this much … pettiness in someone’s choice of clothes? Fucking hell, could it possibly get any shallower? “Yeah, dude - there was this short guy at the gig I went to, and he was wearing a hat! The fucking cheek! I know! I could bearly contain myself until I got home to the messageboards! Yeah, you’d better believe I wrote a stinging rant. I might even blog about it later, you just see if I don’t. Oh yeah. Yeah, he’ll be smarting from that. Except that I just sat behind him the whole time and glowered, rather than ask him to take the hat off, and instead pissed and moaned like a whiny bitch on some random corner of the internet. But other than that, I bet he really regrets his sartorial choices now. Why yes, I do have a few bitterness issues to work out, but I’m sure this is nothing to do with that…”
Incidentally, I was standing next to Jarvis Cocker at the Arcade Fire gig a while back. I was taller and ganglier than him, which distressed me. But I was wearing a cooler jacket. Go me. Fucking outstanding gig, too.
Death Cab has been lame ever since Something About Airplanes. You’re still listening to them? Pshaw.
I’m currently into this awesome group of Ecodurian mimes who fart into kazoos. Trust when I say it’s the hot new shit. I’m sure you’ll hear about it in about 4 more years.
