(I am not fooling this guy.)
My quirky friend Tiffany is convinced that I am a hipster. She posted the picture of me above on Facebook with the determination of proving her exaggerated point. I have gone through this before with my room mates last year and I still stick to my guns.........I am not a hipster. I must admit that I do have some hipster tendencies but those stem from me being a young, modern, college student.
Ok, Urban Dictionary characterizes a hipster as this, "Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter."

Whoops.
So, I might qualify as a hipsteresque individual if we go of this standard definition. But I say, "who cares?" I am pretty confident that most of the students walking around BYU( actually every university campus in the world) is a hipster. Whether people are trying their hardest to be or not, the "hipster" style is almost inescapable and we will all just have to sit tight, keep are true interests close, our own personal styles intact, and sit this fad out.
That kid is crazy.
ReplyDeleteYou aren't a hipster. because I like you.
Jenni, Don't hide that you have been consciously striving for hipster status for at least 3 years.
ReplyDeleteBeing a hipster isn't hip anymore.
ReplyDeleteSo it's kind of ironic. Which makes it hip.
Speaking of irony, did you hear about the segway guy?
What happen to segway guy? GOB from AR?
ReplyDeleteyou are the hippister there is. there was. there will be.
ReplyDeleteat least there's that.
Oh, uh, the creator of the segway died in a segway accident. And it's ironic.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, hipsters are done for, you'd better stop beating that dead horse and find yourself a new identity.
That is terribly ironic. Also, I think that my identity does not reflect the way I dress. That statement might be somewhat hard to support seeing as how many believe and would argue that the way one dresses is a reflection of style, taste, and personality. And that is true for some people. But I have never felt that way about my appearance. I just like to feel comfortable and that means flannel shirts and skinny jeans that make me feel proportional.
ReplyDeleteHa! I have this same identity crisis. People call me a hipster but in my mind hipster is a little bit emo. Which I am not. I like your definition. That makes everyone hipster. So there.
