Hipster- The End of Western Civilization

I hate Adbusters as much as the next guy, because I hate how politically correct it is, and i hate how trendy it is to save the environment, and I know the people that read Adbusters carry those plastic Whole Foods totes with organic yogurt and expensive electrolyte-infused water inside, and it only makes me want to throw my McDonald's wrapper out the window of my SUV while I'm cruisin down the highway. But Jonathan told me about this article and it is hilarious, and since he hasn't posted yet, I'm just gonna start posting stuff he tells me about. Anyway, everyone loves reading about hipsters, it's fun! Well, and this article freaked me out a little, especially the line about blogging. But, anyway, you should read it!.....

....."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.".....
