“Hipster”, yawn, isn’t this a bit past its sell-by date?
In 1996 if a band said that they played “Grunge Music” would you take them seriously?
Ranting about hipsters is about as tired and boring as writing up a screed on why GW Bush sucks.
I say rid the world of the word “hipster.” I’m sick of hearing it! Why is it taking so long for it to become a jokesy ironic word and totally stupid to throw around? (Or is it already?…yes, it is.)
How about we make t-shirts that make fun of all the parents who have to sit at home and hang out with their kids on the snow days?
GO BLAZERS!
Humanclock: word! you’re a faster typer.
The only way the stereotype is going to go away is when people stop embodying it. And denying your obvious hipster-dom (get it?) is a big part of the stereotype.
So who wears the shirt? The people who are denying it? And wouldn’t that then mean that they are embodying it?
After growing up in Yakima, WA (and yes, I had the token Camaro with T-Tops and Warrant tapes too) during a pre-Internet era, I would much rather live in a town full of “hipsters” and a lot of fun, unique things to do than a bunch of rednecks in a town with not much going on.
One thing about stereotypical gay-bashing rednecks though, they are proud of the label and don’t walk into a bar and think “sheesh, ugh, this place is such a redneck scene, but I’m not a redneck, I can’t stand these people…I’m gonna go order a beer anyway.”
Hmm, anyone wanna make a betting pool for how long the Mercury can go without using the word “hipster” on the blog postings or in print during 2009? Yes this is a DARE! I’ll throw in a 24oz PBR and an Atari 2600 Berzerk cartridge to the betting pool.
Dude. I would totally buy that shirt, but I spent all my money on bandannas and blow.
Hahahahahaha….you have proved my point as to what a bunch of hipster dolts you are.
You are a douche bag Matt!
