So if I conform to what's popular, I'm a hipster.
If I strive to be original and my own person, I'm a hipster.
That's not fair.
Do you know how many people that encompasses? Everybody can't be a hipster. F*ck, I don't even care that I'm called one. I just don't understand the definition of what constitutes one. The whole "hipster" image has been so skewed over the last seven or eight years that literally ANYBODY can be one.
Suddenly wearing any shirt that isn't the predetermined 3% of clothing nowadays that isn't considered "cool" constitutes being a hipster. Liking Apple is being a hipster. Liking old media is being a hipster. Driving an old car cause you're poor is being a hipster. Getting glasses is hipster. Growing facial hair is hipster.
FACIAL HAIR HAS BEEN GROWING ON FACES SINCE THE DAWN OF F
UCKING TIME. IT MAKES ZERO SENSE TO CONNECT THAT WITH HIPSTER-DOM.
Unless of course, the facial hair person is only doing it to be cool, which he'll never admit too, so we're left with making assumptions about people which is f
ucking annoying and basically witch hunting.
This wasn't directed at you that much JWB. It's more of a rant.
Also, I need glasses cause I'm f*cking blind. I did not do it to be cool.
