Let us compare and contrast shall we? Yes, i am similar to a hipster in retrospect. When you look at me, you probly think, wow. She is so attractive and intriguing. I know i know. But this in no way makes me a hipster. I like to wear vintage dresses and combat boots. I like indie music, but i also like The Cab, which as many of you know, is mainstream. If you don't believe me. I have a picture of them below. I just saw them in concert Wednesday night. I don't wear those tacky fake rayban glasses. I don't need glasses. If i did, i would get real, classy, ray bans. I don't try to be different. I just am. I always have been. I like what i like. I don't care what you think. I am not a fan of labels. My favorite places to shop are goodwill, iowa city, and forever 21. I love photography. I like doing yoga. I wear sweats to school. I am very independent. I have a strong opinon. I like to argue. I will debate you into the ground. I fit in a school locker. I hope to live in a big city someday. I want to travel the world before i am old and wrinkly. I am awating to hear back from the colleges i applied to.
Yup. That's the cab. Photo taken on my phone. With no zoom. I was that close. Be jealous.
Hipster is defined by urbandictionary.com as "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. The greatest concentrations of hipsters can be found living in the Williamsburg, Wicker Park, and Mission District neighborhoods of major cosmopolitan centers such as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco respectively. Although "hipsterism" is really a state of mind,it is also often intertwined with distinct fashion sensibilities. Hipsters reject the culturally-ignorant attitudes of mainstream consumers, and are often be seen wearing vintage and thrift store inspired fashions, tight-fitting jeans, old-school sneakers, and sometimes thick rimmed glasses. Both hipster men and women sport similar androgynous hair styles that include combinations of messy shag cuts and asymmetric side-swept bangs. Such styles are often associated with the work of creative stylists at urban salons, and are usually too "edgy" for the culturally-sheltered mainstream consumer. The "effortless cool" urban bohemian look of a hipster is exemplified in Urban Outfitters and American Apparel ads which cater towards the hipster demographic. Despite misconceptions based on their aesthetic tastes, hipsters tend to be well educated and often have liberal arts degrees, or degrees in maths and sciences, which also require certain creative analytical thinking abilities"
This here is a photo of a hipster. do i look like that? No. I am 100% sure that i look nothing like that.
That is me with a bunch of hipster band people known as hot chelle rae. I'm not a hipster.
Now. There are similarities between a hipster and I. Thrift clothes are the best. They are cheap and original. Hipsters spend a ridiculous amount of money at Urban Outfitters to look vintage but aren't really. If you want an image of a hipster, take a good look at Daniel McCoy. My old school sneakers i've been wearing since 4th grade. I don't have the attitude of a hipster (most of the time). If i had to describe me, i would call myself quirky, unique, and one of a kind. I don't perscribe to any labels. Hipsters are too mainstream anyway ;]
