Disclaimer: we dont really have an ill and raged intent towards hipsters and other types of lifestlyes. we might be contradicting ourselves but no one reads this anyways
I was handling registration ish at school today, when i ran into Jose Romulo,Walter and Ez. We head towards the parking lot talking, deliberating on lunch and debating on the term “Ace” when we spot some kids with Fixed Bikes. By nature the chuckles and smart-ass comments radiated within the group and just as we pass the group of guys, i wondered where Walter’s insight was in the issue and as quickly as i asked myself that question he yells,
“F*ck your Fixie Bike!”
Now that i have your attention and your anger(maybe), id like to point out this July 2008(hella late,reason why epidemic’s increase” article i just stumbled on. Its pretty “ace” if you ask me, interesting rant to read, if your like us and love to hear the glum/dark/cocky point of view on things.
The article is entitled : “Hipster: The End of Western Civilization”
Were not coming from a haters perspective ,but the article really states what a lot of what ninjas are thinkin. Use this article to your advantage tho and mix it with your own chocolate-opinion for a realization flavored Milkshake.Yadada?
Again, we dont antagonize or shun Hipsters.
Favorite statements:
“The American Apparel V-neck shirt, Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and Parliament cigarettes are symbols and icons of working or revolutionary classes that have been appropriated by hipsterdom and drained of meaning.Ten years ago, a man wearing a plain V-neck tee and drinking a Pabst would never be accused of being a trend-follower. But in 2008, such things have become shameless clichés of a class of individuals that seek to escape their own wealth and privilege by immersing themselves in the aesthetic of the working class.”
And
Standing outside an art-party next to a neat row of locked-up fixed-gear bikes, I come across a couple girls who exemplify hipster homogeneity. I ask one of the girls if her being at an art party and wearing fake eyeglasses, leggings and a flannel shirt makes her a hipster.
“I’m not comfortable with that term,” she replies.
Her friend adds, with just a flicker of menace in her eyes, “Yeah, I don’t know, you shouldn’t use that word, it’s just…”
“Offensive?”
“No… it’s just, well… if you don’t know why then you just shouldn’t even use it.”
“Ok, so what are you girls doing tonight after this party?”
“Ummm… We’re going to the after-party.”
and so we end this post with a previous song that i posted a couple of days/weeks ago.
