what is the typical pinoy hipster rig?

[caloyness]

true hipsters wont show up at all.

hahaha my inner hipster agrees! 

[caloyness]

for me i usually have gears na madalang or rare..

1. customized
2. Rare brand
3. Good quality / premium feel
4. I hate gloss finish, i'm more into satin or all natural finish.
5. yung cable na neon and prang telephone line basta artistic.
6. customized strap is a must! with triangles  (illuminati)

I can consider myself as a hipster so i'll give a feedback on this base on my understanding of what is a "hipster", usually hipsters ay yung mga taong iwas sa mainstream ideas or items. they prefer to look different and unique compared to others, which is a way to express themselves and not to "impress" other people.

from  1 - 10 scale i can say i'm a level 4 hipster considering the following:

1 - my guitars/accessories usually have unique color ( not black/white/red)
2- i dress uniquely thou it should still be appropriate with the weather and venue.
3 - i don't quite dig the mainstream (top chart 100 ) music or should i say i prefer indie bands. Pero medyo bias ako pagdating sa OPM bands. sobrang fan ako ng OPM haha
4- mahilig sa kape / vintage items (typewriter/old cameras)

Hipster:

I guess, anything other than popular stuff... stay away from strats, or les pauls...offsets, fiberglass, beatup student guitars...fuzzes, discontinued boss pedals...amps, mostly fenders and off the beaten track brands, no marshalls or highend boutique stuff...coily cables..some pins and badges on their straps...addition of interesting instruments,electronic gadgets etc. adding texture and spunk..
thick glasses, duct tape for straplocks..accompanied by fashionista crowd..intellectuals..artists,writers..philosophers..highly opinionated individuals..
usually on their vespas, or VW karmann ghias,combi's..

Rakista:

kids in tight skinny jeans, with some black tshirt with a deathmetal band print..loaded with Ibanez', and metal dirt pedals or MFX units..through orange or Marshalls..
some piercings and tats...long hair..and leather wrist bands..skate shoes..with their bmx or skateboards..downing a few bottles of redhorse before, during, after the show...

[qroon]

i beg to disagree mr. gandy on the "no highend boutique stuff" i think may pagka hipster-ish din yun!
spending tons of money just to find that tone that makes you "unique" 
i guess it depends on how you define the term, for me the stereotypical hipsters are the
ones who try too hard to be unique 
 
but hey no hate here lahat naman tayo at some level ganun din, everybody wants to be special 
and i think there's nothing wrong with that pero sympre everything in moderation
things only go bad when its in excess

[jm the mute]

be unique
just like everybody else

[gandydancer123]

Be a conformist among the non conformist...

ang "COOL" siguro kung ganito lineup:

walang drummer. instead, drum circle. yung mga pa-earth people na naka-djembe at darbukha na bentang-benta pag mga cultural events. tapos singer na naka-ukulele na mukhang minor tapos nagsysynthesizer in 1 or 2 songs. bassist na naka double bass. yung gitarista nagsysynth din. tapos lahat sila naka native indian headwear and warpaint na neon colors

pangalan ng banda "Helvetika"

[gandydancer123]
