Think about the term... Never really means bad. Never really means good. In some cases yes. Taking a different direction or something being too different, I'll give you that. But, lately I've been inundated with the "Hipster" movement and, I gotta say, although there are some attributes to throw some love and respect towards... There's an ass-load of hip I'd like to dispel.
Numero Uno: everybody in your crew isn't so fuckin' cool. Sometimes people are just plain messed up. All the interesting quirks in the world don't amend for monstrous insecurities, know-it-all philosophies, inability to wear deodorant, and pretending not to care about recognition or achievement.
Dos: your universal need to be unique has made you the opposite, and slightly cliche.
Tres: twitter isn't the future. It's simply a way for you to reach other hipsters out of pedal range.
Qutro: being really creative, intellectual and/or philosophical doesn't mean shit if you're an asshole to those around you.
Cinco: Status is important to you, otherwise you wouldn't try so hard.
Being different can be really cool. If you're a hipster and you're cool, then bravo to you. If you're a hipster because the only thing that you think is cool is to not be mainstream, then shame on you. I'm done now. Gonna go listen to some Robosapien, smoke-up, get my art crank poster ready fo da show, and have sex with a girl and treat her badly later...
Besides the music and the poster part sounds an awful lot like a frat boy to me...
peace!
