I’m tired of articles, written in hopes to defame, discredit, and respond to hipsters mucking up the world. All of those correspondents from the realm of "in the know” are repulsed by the cultural void of the world that they are privileged with the journalistic duty of guarding yet through some lapse in consciousness or better judgment you let the all encompassing title of "hipster culture" and its leaching lifestyle slip through your fingers? Taste makers, fuck off!
You made this reality a horrid nightmare. You propagated the look, sold your ad space to clever sales teams who are capitalizing off of and study decisively the next trend, and are clipping every organic we try to produce. Now through the symbiotic nature of capitalism, the artistic fulling the trends of popular culture, we are left with what you equate to uninspired mongers of society. So, please tell us what did you expect?
In a time where everyone wants to report on things that aren’t news, or important, or even interesting, this bastardization of a lifestyle that magazines and the internets helped create, how can you simply abandon it because it is vapid? You, an army of marginally educated scenesters, took hold of everything that was deemed cool, and raped it- rode it bare back until it was lifeless, dour, and trite, and then refuse to take blame for what you consider an uninspired aggregation of youth trends. If you're seriously tired, and not just jumping on the bandwagon of deadbeat artist wannabe corporate bedfellows, stop writing about hipster’s and let it fall out of favor. Then ditch your ad-riddled publication of choice for something that doesn’t propagate a look you don't feel represents the "real"; one you helped create, yet despise. And if that’s not possible, deal with the reality that with every word you write about how much you hate hipsters, you just hate on your uninspired life and want for change.
