Hipster: The Dead End of Western Civilization
God, why am I always defending this magazine?
But this is what they do. If anyone has a mandate, nay duty, to write about hipsterdom and its self-obsession. Perhaps however Quinn, your definition of hipster is a bit broad for this article. What I mean by this, is that in Vancouver, and I myself am hyper aware of this, hipsters are on the defense. Just look at this article. What we need to realize however, is that most hipsters, most of our friends, are actually quite poor, politically active, artists/musicians, vegans, bike riding, spontaneous young people. We are not the sneaker-obsesses, coke snorting, skate-wiggers I believe the article is referring too.
Regardless of what you think of “hipsters,” I hope you’ll agree that Adbusters doesn’t have any business calling anyone out for being shallow, “culturally barren,” and almost wholly style over sustance.
They should start the revolution by having a mass burn of their vapid, poorly written magazine.
Fan the flames of discontent!
