Jarvis Cocker stepped out with his 6-year-old son Albert, a virtual Mini-Me version of his dad. I was all ready to make fun of kids dressed like pint-sized hipsters until I realized: This kid is probably already cooler than I will ever be.
But maybe hipster kids are just victims of their parents’ devastatingly cool whimsy.
More Jarvis and his son (in matching blazers!)
Not even the youth of America is immune from American Apparel. Noooooo!

I am waiting for the release of Fisher Price: My First Vinyl Record Collection and Urban Outfitters Jr., where you can buy mini-flannel shirts and baby bottles shaped like cans of PBR.
What do you think about hipster kids?

I like the style, it’s comfortable and laid back. As long as you’re not “hipster” in the fashion where you have holes in everything and don’t bathe.

awww i love those baby converse shoes!! <3
guest
I refuse to answer this question.
guest
i’ve been considered a “hipster” but i’m just really crafty with everything, because, a. being broke kinda doesn’t help being that I cant buy really high priced fashion clothes
guest
i think its cool and the kids look cool also and its always a nice change to see kids with more than pink and blue with cartoon character or flowers but i think the kid has the right to choose, as long the kid likes to wear things like that its ok and make him even cooler, but mmm i think kids that age want bright colors.
come on jarvis kid is ok, nothing over the top, but the kids with the tight pants? o.O
thats just too comertial, but again, its the kids chooise at the end

all cute except the one with the glasses. idk, creeps me out.
guest
i think, when you’re that little, you shouldn’t have to worry about fashion and what you wear. save that for later and give them their flowery shirts and overalls now.
guest
baby bottles shaped like pbr cans?
oh. nice.
guest
The clothes are adorable for the kids. If I had a kid, I’d totally dress him/her like that but of course without the high prices. haha

Sigh…I enjoy dressing my baby boy like a baby — in the jumpers and sailor suits. I’m not in any hurry for him to grow up so I don’t want to dress him like he’s older either.
Overall though, I’m not a fan of the “hipster” style anyway.

guest

guest
I don’t like those styles on me. But I love them on the kids.

AHAH SO CUTE !

I think the baby converse are so cute, in moderation its fine, dressing your child as a mini version of you, not so cute, or heels on a toddler, no way. Dressing a child in hip clothes is cute, to a point, as long as it stays within a normal range of clothes for the age group.
guest
I think it’s cute to an extent. My baby has worn his Converse and Vans more than silk booties, but I’m not going to shape his style when he’s old enough to know what he likes. He can choose the trends he wants to follow. I’m hoping it’s along the lines of that first kid. Or Julian from Big Daddy. I’m not a fan of trendy phrases, but that would be epic.
@MissPixieGlitter@xanga - Haha that sentence doesn’t even sound right. “Metallic” and “kids” just don’t go together…
guest
One friend of mine has a seven year old son is a total hipster. It’s really sort of humorous, too, because his mom (my friend) is a total hippie and his dad is the biggest computer nerd you will ever meet.

But it’s sooooo cuteeee!
Idk kids are just cute. No matter what fashion trend their parents make them wear! Even the revolting brown sweater with orange puffballs (Dudley hand-me-down to Harry)! HAHAH!
magnolia / 1354 posts
Man those kids look too cool and it’s thanks to the parents!!! I would def. let my kids rock some mini Nike dunks and then keep those booties as keepsake.
guest
omg soo cute! i love it
daisy / 743 posts
I don’t know.
I don’t want to know that I, as a parent, am forcing my identity on the kids.
Granted, they don’t have the skills to choose yet…
Well… I don’t know.
I’ll dress my kids as little kids…
Make sure their clothes suit their personalities well.
guest
To me, the kids looks off. They kind of look confused like they’re thinking “There’s something different about these clothes but what…”

Cute, but I HATE those stupid glasses.

The main things you can buy in the store are hipsters. You have to go up a size if you want extra room in the body. Besides, those hipsters are not so low…not like was around here for a while.

” I was all ready to make fun of kids dressed like pint-sized hipsters” wow harsh much..i really hate how people make fun of other people for how they dress.. regardless of how ridiculous they may look…i mean this site has some good posts but then there are these kinds of posts that judge other based upon there looks and it is getting ridiculous….its a little kid i hope you feel good about yourself knowing you were going to make fun of them…HIGH FIVE!
guest
Overall I think the style is really cute, especially on kids. But the father and son thing seems really narcissistic on the father’s part, like the only reason he had a kid was so make another version of himself.
sunflower / 420 posts
I thought the nerdy one was adorable
.
Shiny pants look stupid on anybody I don’t care if your 5, 15, or 50.
guest
@I_ChooseThin@xanga - I agree
Plus, on a more practical side, little girls with leggings under their dresses is perfect. They’re always moving their legs all over the places and it keeps things more modest.
But I do really like the style for little kids, it’s just cute. But I’m pretty much just going to dress my future children in whatever as long as it’s cute. Then they can decide for themselves when they/re older how they wanna dress.

i wasn’t expecting something that bad, but they’re dressed too old for their age…i wouldn’t dress my baby/toddler like that.
guest
Thoes glasses seriously creep me out.
daisy / 630 posts
haha. my son wears converse.
i think it’s cute
guest
aww i think it’s cute… but the father and dad matching so much was kinda weird
guest
UUmmmm, my 3 year is totally gonna have a full beard some day… and wear TOMS shoes… And I’m gonna sing Neutral Milk Hotel to him as a lullaby…
thank you very much
:p tee hee

my kids will be dressed like that! its sooo cute!
daisy / 734 posts
@neekuuh@xanga - haha, me too! But I also kinda dig the look overall. not so much on the attitude, though.
I think it’s kinda cute how they’re dressed. maybe not on the metallic leggings, but i’m game for anything that doesn’t scream “I watch the disney channel all day and never go outside to play!” although that’s probably because i babysat two girls who were obsessed with the disney channel for a whole summer, and I never watched TV growing up… all they had in their closets wasw bright pink, sparkly disney apparel. O.o’
guest
those children are already cooler than any of us will ever be.
I think it’s cute to dress kids fashionably. Don’t hate.
guest
I bought my son a pair of baby converse (a) because he needed shoes and (b) they were on sale. I definitely think it’s scary when parents force their personalities and beliefs on their children. I mean sure I would love it if my son grew up to have similar taste, but I’m not going to shove what I like down his throat, and I’m certainly not going to dress him like THAT.

The little boy in the third picture looks like he really wants to turn his hat back around.
Go ahead, little boy. You turn that hat!
hydrangea / 84 posts
Oh, and my mom let me dress myself from a pretty young age. I would wear tu-tu’s and shin guards to the mall, with one pigtail in, and one out. I turned out okay.
Let the kids choose for themselves! If they want to dress like that, then so be it.
guest
His son kind of looks like a pretty girl. It’s kind of cute for special occasions.
sunflower / 494 posts
aww they look so cute!
guest
that lil kid could get robbed for his red plaid shirt
and no one is cooler than anyone else. We all have our own stizzi.
guest
Dude, those kids are waaaaay cooler than i am haha
Baby all stars are way cute, so are baby DCs, i want some seriously haha :] x
guest
Um, well. Not that it’s a terrible thing, considering they are dressed by their parents, but those leggings make me a little nauseous.
guest
i think hipster kids are cute
magnolia / 1030 posts
…………….
NO.
guest
Hipster kids are just adorable, as long as they don’t develop an attitude.
guest
Baby converse are cute, but when you get them as high tops, they are so impossible to put on the kids feet! My nephew looks adorable in his though.
guest
… Oh my.
The kids are super adorabeee though.
guest
I think it’s kinda cute, in all honesty.
guest
aww, they’re so cute! i think it’s great, parents dressing kinds in stylish clothing. in exposing them to fashion early on, they’ll have an easier time developing a personal style.
i think i want children just so i can dress them
guest
I actually think they look pretty cute.
daffodil / 1975 posts

super cute! I hope the kids dresses like that cuz he wants too, not because his dad makes him.
Those kids wearing American Apparel leggings are a bit too much. =P
guest
It’s cute, but no thanks.
guest
Scary indeed…

Fisher Price: My First Vinyl Record Collection
hahahahaha
guest
i thnk its kinda creepy but cute. my kid would def be hip!
guest
Cocker’s son is quite adorable. (:
guest
I don’t care how they dress, it’s the ones I’ve come by that act like assholes. Like they’re the best thing in the fucking world. You’re sitting outside a coffee shop staring people down, do you miss high school or something?
guest
If they weren’t hipster they’d be something else. Nothing we can do to stop parents with lots of money from over-dressing their kids.
guest
Hipster kids are cute. The family photos will be embarrassing in a couple years, though! xD
guest
haha. wild. my niece is hip . but not hipster. im neither. fashion is passion. for some
guest
I think it’s cute it’s a lot better then the stuff my mom dressed me up in when I was a kid.
sunflower / 434 posts
I like the style. But most “hipsters” are obsessed with themselves. They spend like three hours trying to make themselves look like they just rolled out of bed, and then they post a thousand pictures of themselves online.
I guess I just have a natural aversion to trends.
And I don’t think little kids should have to be so fashionable.
Wow, this comment was really negative.
guest
WTF pants/leggings is that American Apparel kid wearing? Not okay.
I’m a little ambivalent about mini Converses…kinda cute, but I just don’t know.
guest
hipster kids are adorable. but i think the hipster kids will grow up too fast :/
it’s just the parents wanting them to be he same way they are. looking cool and all. i have a friend, and i’m not joking about this either, her boyfriend has gauged ears and he’s actually gauging his kid’s ears. his little boy is only two years old! but why is he doing it? because he wants his boy to be like him. i think stuff like that crosses the line though.
but overall, i think they are cool. not scary. the only thing scary about them is that they will mature too soon.
guest
i can’t wait until the ‘hipsters’ get over this trend so that i can go back to not fitting in. good grief, the hollister vally girls are into the whole thing now. it’s quite anoyying. even more so when they’re decked out in a cardi, skinny fit jeans, slip ons, a bunch of bracelets, and messy hair while listening to wheezy or lil wheeze or whatever his name is. and then they mock people who actually enjoy reading! they are as fake as their tans and paroxide hair.
but anyways. my kid is going to be cute as a button. sharp dressed and adorable at all times.
guest
@raspberryjade@xanga - hahahahaha. does it come with a toy record player?
guest
hahahaha PBR baby bottles. awesome. i hope i have the where with all to dress my kids this way someday. just for funnnnn.
guest
I tend to think baby clothes and kid clothes should be baby clothes and kid clothes styles. Not mini me versions. But exceptions to the rule: Dressing up like dad when he is winning a professional award.
daisy / 693 posts
usually when little kids dress to expensive and trendy I’m like ew
but they just look so darn cool and cute
guest
super adorable. if my kid wanted to wear this, i’d be ecstatic! =)
guest
Hey, no dissing the PBR. XP
guest
lol
guest
what the heck is that shiny stuffs those little girls are wearing?! those are not little kids clothes…little kids are cute they way they are, they don’t need fashion for it!
guest
@sarkastiklee@xanga - that’s terrible! what the hell?! what if the kid doesn’t want that he grew up???
guest
i like it.
guest
CUTE! sometimes.
guest
whimsy is my least favorite word :[
guest
i bet they’re all 10x cooler than me
lol

Jarvis kid’s mom i believe, is a French fashionista, working for the likes of Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Chloe. I don’t think this kid follows Daddy’s sense of style — charity, second hand clothing chic. He is just born hip, like Suri Cruise. The kid is really Parisian than British. Look at those fringes, and cute little pout. Soon Jarvis will follow his kid’s style.
