Hipster
Today's site from Cracked -- always-ready-with-a-mocking-article -- .com offers
a thorough analysis of the the sub-culture familiarly known as hipster. Gentle
Subscribers inclined to equate hipsters as leftovers from the era of peace and
love populated by "hippies" may be both surprised and entertained by this
feature detailing their complete departure from those icons of the mid-20th
century.
"Hipsters couldn't incite more blind hatred if they were all ginger-haired
Al-Qaeda members. But why? Could it be their taste in music? Fashion sense?
Attitude of superiority? Perhaps. ... We may never know." - from the website
Beginning with a graphic clearly delineating the disparity between Hipster
statement and subtext, this opening salvo covers topics such as music,
religion, fashion, and even gentrification, handsomely followed up with the
Hipster Guidebook: Making Simple Decisions (Needlessly Complicated). The latter
notes the difficulties facing hipsters on problems as taxing as buying new
jeans or going to a concert. Additional highlights include a graphic
illustrating a Breakdown of the Hipster Persona and further notes on various
hipster quirks.
Note: Although its origins as a Cracked.com feature tend to suggest caution for
workplace perusal, the article's language is generally unobjectionable.
