Let me go on record to say that hipsters are the downfall of western culture. This may not be a new statement to some of you, and I have no intent of backing it with accurate socio-political observations. Instead, I am going to ramble and foam at the mouth like a rabid street person.
I actually tried to date a hipster once, but she was too busy being indifferent to actually go out on a date. I'm pretty sure she put about 30 posts in the "missed connections" section of craigslist though.
I live in Portland, Oregon, which I believe is ranked 2nd or 3rd largest hipster population in the country. Portland has what is affectionately known as a "bike culture" and it very much is culture. Not a means of transportation, or recreation, it's a fucking status symbol. I mean, I get it, it's cheap... Oh, what's that? you put $500 handlebars on your 60 lb. italian fixy you restored from the 70's? Oh, it's just your "project" bike? Good for you. How about you do something else with your $3000 than pour it into a piece of technology that's biggest advance in the last hundred years is making the front wheel the same size as the back wheel. (no question mark, cause it's rhetorical.)
Cool bike chain tattoo. I'm gonna go get a pogo stick tattoo and we can both regret it when were too old to do either of those things. Oh wait, you'll never live to be that old, because aside from being vegan for six days, you only eat mcdonalds, drink cheap beer every night, and smoke two packs of american spirits a day.
Oh, you do all that Ironically?
You must have Alanis Morrisette's definition of irony. It's not ironic if you just look like a piece of shit. Do you know the difference between you and everyone else that shops at goodwill? Families that work 40+ hours a week at a shit job, and you have a part time job at a record store.
Which would be fine, if you had some other purpose in your life, but you actually specifically exist without purpose. It's dumbfounding and inifinitely contradictory. You're like a mobius strip of uselessness.
Going for "nostalgic" are you? Listening to records? Bitch please, I only listen to wax cylinders. vintage Ray Bans? i'm wearing blue blockers. Skinny Jeans? I'm wearing pantaloons. DO YOU GET THE PICTURE YET? YOU'RE NOT A FUCKING TIME MACHINE.
So in summation, I invite all hipsters that I've offended to send me hatemail. However, I don't need to provide an email address, because to send me an email, you would be a) admitting you are a hipster and b) showing that you actually give a shit about something.
The only way to stop this menace? by tricking a hipster into doing both a. and b. above, thus opening the portal and banishing them back to their dimension.
