I must admit, when it comes to the subculture known as "Hipsters" I am at a loss!! I don't understand them, and I fear what I don't understand!!! I cannot get my mind around the "why" and the "reason" for being and/or becoming a hipster!!? The only thing I can come up with is, it's just another way to stand out, do something different, metaphorically scream..."HEY LOOK AT ME, IM NOT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, IM DIFFERENT AND DO IRONIC THINGS!!" That being said, I feel completely comfortable in saying that "Hipsters" are attention whores!! They have cornered the market on "douchebaggery" and "Ironic Idiocy"! The funny thing to me is, they seem to think they are doing something new. They seem to think they are "Original Cool" and have discovered a new brand of "deck" as they call it, which means cool in "hipster" btw! What "deck" ACTUALLY MEANS IS :
DECK (N)
1. A platform extending horizontally from one side of a ship to the other.
2.
a. A platform or surface likened to a ship's deck.
b. A roofless, floored structure, typically with a railing, that adjoins a house.
c. The roadway of a bridge or an elevated freeway.
3.
a. A pack of playing cards.
b. A group of data processing cards.
4. A tape deck.
5. Slang A packet of narcotics.
tr.v. decked, deck·ing, decks
1. To furnish with or as if with a deck.
Hmmmm...nope...I do not see any deffinition in there about "deck" meaning "cool"...how interresting!! But I digress, they think they have discovered something new, when in reality, they are just stealing someone elses shit!! As with all fad/trends, I predict this will not last long, and come next year these unoriginal posers will be on to the next whatever non-conformist thing comes next!! I suppose though it is the world we live in, we are all slaves to trends is some form or another. That is understandable and even somewhat excuseable, however...when you take it to the Nth degree, like those cute and cuddly, judgemental, unoriginal douchebags known as "HIPSTERS" , then it just becomes annoying and old!! We should all take a lesson from these people, they are shiny billboards of what NOT TO DO....EVER!! I am not kncocking on "hipsters" just for the sake of doing it, far from it. I just believe that if you want to be original, and/or stand out from the crowd, then actually BE original...don't just rip off something that has been around since the 50's and call it new!! Thanks guys...have a good day!! :D
