Southampton ‘to become ultimate hipster team with £11.2m transfer of incredible superstar’
Expand article…
…complimentarily fitted together by Optimus trousers…beta v1.5
I have no idea what this means, and I suspect they’re just trolling Barry.
Southampton are making an £11.2million move to sign brilliant Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka, according to reports.
Interesting, Lou.
I’ve never heard of him, but he seems highly thought of, and those two facts means he’s our type of target.
I don’t get the hipster reference either.
I’m going to guess the hipster reference relates to the fact all the cool, young guns in Europe all join Southampton. I don’t think we have a particularly high quota of beards in a team, and skinny jeans are so common place these days, it can’t be that.
That said, it could be a reference to our supporters. When I think of Barry, Furball, Ted, and Fatso, hipster does seem appropriate…
Hipster…definition:
a person who follows the latest trends and fashions, especially those regarded as being outside the cultural mainstream.
Oooo I think that’s me…can I be one Lou…can I? 
Hipsters are usually laid back, so that would fit your slow lane vibe.
Dude, you’re in!
Thanks BTW I’m not a “Dude”…I’m a Chap…standards, it’s all about standards.
Do you think Sotonians.com is the Ultimate Hipster Web Forum?

Totally. The fashion and footie combo rocks. Let’s upload insta pics of what we’re wearing today…
Out of personal interest, what is the very opposite of a hipster called, then?
None of you is a hipster. Stop it. Stop it now.
I like hipsters. They’ve made the things I was interested in as a kid (which were distinctly uncool at the time) cool again. Retro art for one. Take screen printing - now there are facilities cropping up everywhere and lots of customers. I can’t complain.
Reminded me of that Elton John/George Michael duet…Don’t let the sun? go down on me 
was it sun?
Bear??
The opposite of hipster = sadoldgit
I’m not a hipster, you stupid shit. I’m a fucking lone wolf.
I thought Hipsters were trousers that fitted on the hips not the waist? Meh, what do I know, I’m 47 and have never been a dedicated follower of fashion
I have been described as a hipster, primarily by a Philadelphian exchange student that was with us for a bit. Her definition was “aggressively and purposefully against the mainstream”. There was no talk of trend-setting, etc.
“Aggressively and purposefully against the mainstream” is her polite way of calling you a tit.
She didn’t do polite, to the extent where laid-back Juvenile Unit #2 got wound up with some of the things she said.
