Mickey mouse?

[Darth Cloaked Guy]

I don't understand. What's he referencing? (I know who Mickey Mouse is, I just... is there a tune that goes with that or something?)

[Random Person]

[Gudo]

yeah, it's the theme for the Mickey Mouse Club.

Ah. Black and white... that was before my time.

[osmium]

Before my time too, but I'd still heard the song.
-O

[NOMAD]

Same here, but I do know of the song.

the Full Metal Jacket scene is one that stayed with me

[Luge]

I'm not from the States, so it didn't mean anything to me either.

Full Metal Jacket is what I'd immediately thought of too.

Seems like Alex is pulling a Tom Paris being into really old american pop culture. Considering Ellen, I wouldn't be surprised if they were the contemporary equivalents to retro-styled hipsters today.

Hipster Alex: "2150's Fashion is soooooooooo mainstream"

Hipster Ellen: "I know! Here! Listen to this music! It's by a band nobody's heard of!"

Hipster Alex: "Oh sweet! What's it called?"

Hipster Ellen: "Ugh, nevermind!"

Hipster Alex: "Wait... what?"

Hipster Ellen: "If you like it, then it's popular, that means they've posthumously sold out and like, aren't underground or retro anymore."

Hipster Alex: "Oh. Oh yeah. I hate those sellouts, whatever they're called."

Hipster Ellen: "Yeah, me too. They're sooooo mainstream."

Hipster Alex: "Let's go drink at an obscure coffee shop and talk about thrift stores!"

Hipster Ellen: "Let's!"

Loroi: "What... what the hell was that?"

Kikitik: "KIKIKIKIKIKITKIKTIKITITIKIKITIKITITIKITIKITITITITITIKITITIKITITIKITIKITITIKITITIKITITITIKITIKIKITIKITIKITIKIKI!"

Loroi: "I wholeheartedly agree, but only after we've disemboweled their firstborn sons and eviscerated their firstborn daughters in front of their parents eyes. With a wooden spoon."

Kikitik: "KIKITIKITIKIKITITITIKITITIKITIKIKI?"

Loroi: "No. The Chocolate and Iceream pillaging is ours by right. Do you want to fight another war over this? Fah. Let's just annihilate their species already."

Kikitik: "KITIK!"

It's funny cause it's true. I live in probably the most Hipster place in the world.

[Arioch]

Ellen is from Seattle...

Your avatar entertains me, Jero.

[JeroOfBaconGrease]

Thanks, I forget if you've put it up where Alex is from.

Portland is just a bit more hipster than Seattle.

[fredgiblet]

Portland was hipster before it was cool.

[JeroOfBaconGrease]

Only hipsters think that being into something when it wasn't cool is cool.

[Arioch]

Alex is from a rural community in Redding, in the north of California.

So, which is more hipster: Eugene or Portland?

[JeroOfBaconGrease]

Portland, you sort of need more urban mass to generate the necessary thrift store fodder to support a decent hipster population. Although, I've not been around Eugene much, Portland is VERY hipster-ific. Hmm, is Alex's family French Canadian? It would sort of explain his name. My family used to live right on the border with Ontario, Windsor's a nice town. Anyhow my step mom's family is French Canadian.

[Loops]

Only hipsters think that being into something when it wasn't cool is cool.

hahaha agreed:)

[dfacto]

But now that hipsters are "cool" shouldn't they all be moving onto another demographic?

[Trantor]

Cool?
Hip?

Pff.

[JeroOfBaconGrease]

That was the eighties, the age of cocaine & power suits.
