As I drove to Los Angeles on a clear autumn day, I am suddenly cut off by crazy driver in a mid 90's corolla. Annoyed, I switched into a different lane to get a better look at the madman driving the Toyota. As I glance to my right, I notice that the driver was none other than a 19ish year old kid, in a red flannel, wearing fake Rayban glasses, torn-up jeans (obviously store bought and not from deterioration from continual use) and was obnoxiously blasting "Band of Horses" or something of that type. After viewing this "hipster", a new type of annoyance came over me, not one that was particular centered to the bad driver, but one that was over a large number of youth these days: the "Damn Hipsters". These radical youth are sweeping the nation, with there ragged hair and sluggish nature. Often times, they drop several Bejamins for cheaply made fixed-gear bicycles or "vintage" clothing (which is mostly smelly, itchy clothing from the late 80's that was found in the attic of some cat-ladys home). There are some (me perhaps) that just smirk and somtimes get the shits and giggles when watching these tribes of youth in their nature. Why, do such people get an entire post on their ways, you may ask; well its quite simple- to spread awareness. As these folk begin to influence others and spread, it is gravely important that some realize their real beginnings as "hipsters". Recently discovered by a friend, such persons will be found researching ways to be transformed into a "hipster" being, whether it is reading magazines, blogs, clothing catalgoues, or even stealing a true "indie" individuals iPod and writing down great, undiscovered artists. In order to protect you or your loved ones, make sure that if you see a dirty hipster, on the corner of Sunset Blvd or sitting at a coffee shop, that you refrain yourself from morphing yourself into said person. Or in most cases, think that they are orignal and artsy, anything along those lines really. Mainly, just be your damn self and stop photocopying yourself to someone that, truly and honestly, you are not.
