Hipsters

I don’t like this whole “hipster” fad. The label is beginning to apply to anything in the mildest bit artistic, and it really bothers me. Listening to music other than Kesha, Lil Wayne, or Coldplay doesn’t make someone a hipster. What’s hipster-ey is listening to noisy synths over sitar drones in an odd time signature and acting like a music elitist for it.

Taking pictures also doesn’t make someone a hipster. When did photography become a hipster thing?! What would be hipster-ey is taking pictures from a homemade cardboard-box camera. Lastly, hipsters don’t own plaid. Other people like plaid, too (see lumberjacks, construction workers, plumbers, Scottish people). A plaid-donning hipster might also wear skinny jeans and a scarf (even in the spring). The only thing that I am okay with hipsters “having” is PBR. That stuff sucks.
