the link below, i think, is really quite interesting.
yesterday in Design, Hannah let me borrow two of her AdBusters magazines and i love them so far.
anyways, there was this one page that had all these responses to an article on hipster's that was in another magazine. I went online and checked it out. and i provided the link so you could too.

i'd like to think there's a little hipster in all of us. some of the stereotypes they talked about, i could fit perfectly in. most obvious is my blogging habit. i have also read and enjoyed the magazine Vice, worn skinny jeans, i do love art and culture (my schooling is mainly based on these things for goodness sake!), and i own two analog cameras.

i don't necessarily think "hipsterism" is a bad thing. if anything, this group of people make more conscious decisions than people who aren't "hipster". if a person is aware of their culture and the image they project towards the rest of the world, is that so bad?

i don't think so at all. if it wasn't "hipsterism" i am sure it would be something else that would be complained about. hipster's are simply trying to raise their quality of life, to find more meaning to things and if anything, this sort of attitude should be encouraged.

i'm neither for or against "hipsterism". but then again, i think there's a little hipster in me, just like all of you.
