    I really enjoyed this but I think this more of a great beginning to a reverse subculture sort of like how the 80's corporate nonsense gave birth to stuff like the anti-folk movement and alternative. Still, these hipsters need to GTFO haha

    I still don't know what a hipster is. I can't help but associate it with certain economic classes. If you belong to a middle/upper class, and if your whole existence is defined by the things you consume and more importantly the way you consume those freaking things (the how-when-where triangle), then voilà, you are a bloody hipster, congratulations! Hayatinda dayak yememis antin kuntin kismisina verilen isimdir hipster. sinifsal senin anlayacagin. From the page: "We are a lost generation, desperately clinging to anything that feels real, but too afraid to become it ourselves. We are a defeated generation, resigned to the hypocrisy of those before us, who once sang songs of rebellion and now sell them back to us. We are the last generation, a culmination of all previous things, destroyed by the vapidity that surrounds us. The hipster represents the end of Western civilization â€" a culture so detached and disconnected that it has stopped giving birth to anything new. "

    I don't see how this is a dead end. it seems more like a new beginning to me. but hipsters do piss me off it seems like you can never win in those crowds and no matter how fucking cool you are there's someone cooler and someone who doesn't think you're cool.
