Ok so... I was walking home from the gym today in running shorts and a t-shirt... while a hipster began to pass me... he had a mustache, seersucker shorts, some VERY low cut t-shirt on and girl shoes.... he looked at ME as if I were crazy for wearing what I had on... I mean SERIOUSLY? So in response to his look, and I am not kidding, I said, "You know, you dont look ironic, or cool. You look like a fucking idiot." He just looked at me dumbfounded but didnt say anything... I mean how could he? He was over 6ft but he weight at least 40lbs less than myself... what was he going to do to me? "Irony" me to death, bore me until I dont want to live, make me listen to Devedra Banhart until I die? Yeah I would have punched him or thrown him to the ground....
Now as I sit in my apartment, a 4th floor apt, in a very nice building where I can see all around the city because I am above all the other buildings in my hood, yes it's amazing, I know... there are hipsters sitting on the roof of the building adjacent to me... without shirts on, looking in!... Their white skin is blinding, their PBR tall cans are larger then they are. The girl with them looks like she is a heroin addict and not the 60's fashion model kinda hot heroin addict but the kinda you find in west Oakland hooker kind.
Maybe, I am getting old, maybe when I turned 30 a switch went off in my head and I realized that "non-ironic ironic" white people that pretend to be poor and yet have trust funds and went to art school are lame... they are detriment to society, because they are clueless and aren't really good for much... Maybe that or maybe I really dont know whats cool anymore... if that's the fact then I dont want to be cool.
or maybe you're tired of being called a hipster and want to hate on them :)
