This whole hipster thing is ridiculous. Why hasnt someone opened a clothing store aimed at ‘hipsters’?
They are just another group trying to not appear like one…

A real shame that hipsters and legions of others don’t make it to the polls. Helps explain why most office holders here in Texistan are fascist throwbacks.

@ Mats (on the politics note):
Maybe it’s just my experience, but I always see that its the Hipsters showing up to protests, the hipsters making conscious choices to purchase fair trade/organic/eco-friendly/local/vegan, and the Hipsters listen to obscure bands that often have very political messages or underpinnings and the act of listening to local bands is a stick-it-to-the-man against giant media conglomerates and corporate power. The basis of why they ride bikes is because the use of them doesn’t pollute and they buy clothes at Value Village because they’d rather not contribute further to consumer culture and the consumption ethic. And they’re into intellectual topics because dammit, society is pretty anti-intellectual these days so somebody’s gotta keep it going! There are some exceptions (the Urban Outfitter types. Those are Scenesters anyway) but true Hipsters do what they do as some of the most political statements out there, and whether or not they make it to the polls doesn’t change that. In fact, these days you vote with your money so they’re doing just that everyday of their lives and it makes them more political than most of us. Might just be my experience though…?

I am over 50 and know EXACTLY who David Sedaris is. It’s Amy’s brother….And I guess I was a “hipster” in the ’60s because I started out on PBR…Which was not really very popular in Texas….LOL…If you want to see a funny ad by Amy check out her MS Office (VERY non hipster) go to Youtube and search for Rabbit Rescue.
