I was youtubeing,the other day, and i found a pretty funny clip called "the hipster olympics". Its some spoof thing making fun of hipsters and their counter culture. I laughed a lot case i realized that more of that junk applied to me then i thought.
I think the modern "hipster movement" is one of the cultural landmarks of our generation. Just like the hippies, beatniks and punks. Vh1 is going to do an "I love the 00's" on this shit. lol. I think that a lot people are hipters in their own right. Degrees of hipsterdome vary and have their own regional or cultural nuances.
Being a hipster just happens. (I mean, Without realizing it i started doing all these things like Blogging, The myspace photo sessions, skinny jeans, tee shirts, vintage stuff, bar hopping and music mongering) You know whats good with the mainstream, but you still hate the estabishment. You have political views, you may even have a couple "causes" worth fighting for. You hate Bush and never watch MTV for the music. So what do you do? You do what you can to set yourself apart from the mainstream, but in the end, you end up looking like everyone else trying to do the same thing. Its a lose-lose situtation.
I think that this hipster junk is ok. I mean its cool for everybody else. I even claimed to be a hipster as a joke. But now i realize thats its kinda un-cool to be labeled so yeah- Later for that. I'm denouncing my hipster status. I have MUCH better things to do... like surf the web for obscure bands before they sell out. ..lol
peace&love
