LOL yeah being a hipster would be a job in itself. Why the hell are there so many around? It's not like it's cool. I make fun of hipsters daily because they try to be nonconformists.

Haha, and you're saying this in Indiana! Have you ever lived in NYC or LA? I endured a maniacal infestation of hipsters in LA, particularly in the Echo Park and Silverlake neighborhoods. It was kind of sad to see all these potentially interesting and constructive young minds that were caught up in this malarky.

Hipsters are pretty much the exact same thing as trusafarians/faux-hippies in terms of attitude. It's frightening how similar the guy with dreads, driving a Land Rover, listening to his collection of Phish shows is to the guy with a beard, plaid shirt, and wayfarers listening to Animal Collection b-sides on his Zune riding the subway to Brooklyn. Same attitudes, different affectations.
But there are those people in nearly every culture of society. What about that 16 year old kid blasting "Straight Outta Compton" on the ride back to his big, middle class suburban home? Or pretty much anyone who as ever considered themselves as someone who is "into art." There are extremely pretentious people everywhere, and that's why people that talk about hipsters annoy me, because some of the nicest kids I know would be considered hipsters, and some of the meanest, most obnoxious and condescending people I've met are not even close to hipsters.
Everyone is a hipster in Paris, it seems. And Sydney, too! You can barely go out without feeling like you're at a combination fashion show / iPhone commercial.

I was there long enough to differentiate between the fashionable and the hipsters. Parisians are fabulously beautiful.
My daughter lives in a gay neighborhood and next door to a gay bar ~Spyces~ and it took me well over a week to get my gaydar working. ALL the men (and women) dress like they just walked off a runway. OK, not all, but most. It was a feast for the eyes!
I had to go to the mall last week and it was *awful* . I'm in serious withdrawals.

Oh, I know that - I've been there myself, and I will definitely agree with you on that. I actually wish more people in this country would put as much effort into the clothes they wear (or the food they eat, for that matter). But, I dunno, at a certain point, I just think for a lot of people it seems to be less of a desire to look good, and more of a 'keeping up with the Joneses' mentality. It just seems a bit ridiculous when people will regularly spend like $125+ on a t-shirt or $3-400 on a pair of jeans - but hey, to each their own. I mean, when it boils down to it, it's really no more frivolous than me spending several hundred dollars on a weekend at a festival.
