Exactly. It's that kind of apathy that should make you stop and think: perhaps you are already more hipster than you thought. No hipster actually calls themselves by that name, unless they are practicing the delicate art of living life as a hipster for the purpose of irony - or what I like to call... Hipception.
Over the next few months, I will be coming to the defense of the hipster lifestyle through this blog. My goal will be to educate the masses on the benefits of being hipster, not for the purpose of creating more hipsters - it would obviously be counterproductive to make the niche any more mainstream - but rather to present a logical and rational defense of the supposedly illogical and irrational lifestyle led the modern-day hipster.
Now, while my unparalleled apathy and inability to grasp the dynamics of popularity may prevent me from being excited about writing this blog, I would like to assure you that the little hipster man inside of me is pursing his lips and raising an eyebrow with mild intrigue.
All hipster blog posts must be written at Parlour Coffee.
ReplyDeleteThat is an excellent assertion! I will have to keep that in mind.
DeleteAnd so what exactly is the "hipster lifestyle?"
ReplyDeleteIn a nutshell (although definitions are really too mainstream), it's obscure music, trying to appear cultured, counter-culture, progressive politics & views, having vintage things (esp. vinyl and secondhand clothes), looking unkempt and disheveled, doing things ironically, being really pretentious and apathetic about everything.
