Of course. The word derives its meaning from the thing it is assigned to. Doesn't make bearded, tracksuit-wearing, mechanical video camera-wielding men talking way too much about authenticity look less like clowns, though.
- serve_yay 12y agoAgreed, my only addition is that the people who tend to really harp on "hipsters" and how bad they look, often don't look so much better themselves. It's symptomatic, this obsession with who is a "hipster".
- logfromblammo 12y agoExcept that clown makeup patterns are considered a form of trademark among performers, and are registered with Clowns International by painting them on goose eggs, or egg-shaped ceramics. It's very bad form for one clown to design a look that is too similar to another. I suppose if an enterprising performer designed a character-type clown based on a caricature of hipsters, they might all look like that particular clown, but I don't think it's fair to slight a profession that encourages authentic individuality in that way.
