Now a days this lip curling word is basically used as an insult for people who ghastly overexert all of their energy to segregate themselves from being "normal." Mind you all, I'm not bashing them. I actually feel for them. I mean, we have all been through a time in our lives when we were unsure about ourselves. We had this alternate person created in our minds that, to ourselves, were so much better than who we actually were (admit it, we're all fake to a degree). So really, we were all hipsters at one point in our lives, even if you don't want to admit it. I am 17 years old, and yes, I am completely bewildered by the complexity of this life. I ask myself every day who I am, and why the hell I'm even here. And STILL, after years of this same head aching question, all I can say is, I just don't fucking know. So maybe to you all I am a hipster because sometimes I try too hard to be so much more than what I am. To me however, I, along with all the other "Hipsters" out there, are merely just young, indecisive, over analytical, awkward people, just like all of you were, or still are, even if you don't want to confess to it just yet.
