Hipsters
Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2012 1:52 am
For years I regarded those people that changed thier wardrobe on the whims of fashion with disdain.
I thought these people had no character of thier own, like fashion-sheep being sheparded by the fashion industry. that they spent way too much on fashion & were hipocritical in their outlook (what they ridiculed one day would soon be "cool" the next, like undercut-ponytails, moustaches & mullets, yes mullets)
This mentallity at the time didnt have a name or label, they were just followers of fashion, waiting for the next trend to appear so they could spend thier disposable income on more clothes in a never-ending cycle of unfullfillment, trying allways to fill the void with something new & "cool" only for that "cool" thing to soon end up in the charity clothing bin. The vicious cycle continues, like a hampster running on the wheel with no end in sight, only now these people have elevated thier thirst for "the next cool thing" to not only clothing but music and food & probably some other stuff ive "never heard of"
they have procured the name "Hipsters" and have become known for their elitest attitude to all things "cool"...
Now, are the aforementioned "followers of fashion" the very same people as these "hipsters" or are the "hipsters" a new breed, separate from the fashion sheep?
See, I know people that dress like "hipsters" but they are just normal down to earth dudes, they dont listen to modern neo classical opera from eastern Europe or any of that nonsense, & wouldnt consider themselves hipsters.
But I do know people that dress kinda "cool" & call themselves hipsters like its a badge of honour, & use the word "hipster" like its--- ahem, going out of fashion
So weve got the sheep, the peeps dressing "cool" but not being douches.
Then those that dress "cool" and aspire to be called "hipster" (fuck knows) then theres the actual hipsters (snobby elitist crew)
This is all a bit bemusing...
tbh,personally I think the word "hipster" should be erradicated from all civilisation.
Maybe then I can just go back to having the sheep view.
Disscuss.
