eighty percent of the people on those sites who are getting called HOTT are NOT hott at all. they're sometimes straight-up busted and usually average. sometimes "kind of pretty, in this picture", at best.
I think it's kind of fucked up that Belle and Sebastian conceal their singer because

well that's what i mean it's like this weird different standard but they stick by it regardless, and they're just as judgmental.
yes, that's true. which is why i speculated that a fat, ugly girl could possibly fit within their weird, different standard easier than in the general-public cultural monolith of slim 'n' blonde 'n' regular-featured.

except that most of the time, it still comes down to basic standards. like, they'll LIKE a girl like that, but they wont IDOLIZE a girl like that. maybe slightly more tolerance for a 'dumpy' appearance. but as far as fatness goes, no scene is more tolerant to it than the ghetto scene forreal.

1. they are twee-pop
2. quite the contrary. i'm saying scenesters' enormous devotion to image isn't based on the general public's standards of beauty and sometimes even flies in the face of them.

i dont think hipsters standards are all that different. i think they like to act like they are, but all in all, it's the same standards set to a few slightly different yet still strict guidelines of lifestyle/appearance.

i'm sorry. i just thought toby's summary of what alex was saying made alex sound like a dick in the context and i thought my response would be both simple and funny albeit at the expense of being mean to alex who is way more intelligent (read: a dick) than me.
