Mind your Manhers- Hipsters

Fashion trends these days are all over the place with none of them really staying to long.  In my lifetime it went from punk to goth to emo, and currently hipster. And to no surprise, with hipster being the most confusing of all of them.  It seems like it is more clothed based than the rest.  Goth and punk are more of a state of mind and those people usually know who they are but it seems like anybody with an affinity for plaid and skinny jeans can be a hipster.  Which raises one big question; what is a hipster? Is it someone who is into what’s popular, or maybe it’s a new type of hippy or is it just a fashion trend started by the skinny jeans, plaid and wool hat industry?  My answer to those questions is all of the above.  It’s always tough to figure out where a trend comes from but most of the time once it’s started it spreads like wild fire.  I put a lot of the blame on Apple for being the “it” brand.  They have made themselves a company that sells products based on looks and not necessarily functionality.  While Apple is actually a pretty decent product, people don’t buy it because it’s the best, they buy it because its cool and hip.  Just like coffee shops and other things.  I recently went to a pretty infested bar and there were more bike rack spots than there were actual car spots.  What would ever make you think that you would need that many bike spots and honestly who rides a bike to the bar.  The best part about it was the fact that people were actually using them.

I guess the point that I am ultimately trying to get across is that we need to take down all the hipsters who think that individuality is owning the same stuff and acting the same as everyone else and beat some sense into them.  I urge everyone to start carrying around bats (wooden or metal), rubber hoses, hammers, brass knuckles or iPads( if you're into irony) and beat the hip out of every skinny jeaned, plaid shirted, wool hatted hipster and take back America.
