hipsterdom.

people classify me as a hipster a lot. to be honest i still refute the comment, even after seeing that 65% of me has hipster tendencies. i love fashion and fall in love with every well dressed man i see. (in fact how someone is dressed is probably the first thing i notice about them, besides their teeth) i love plaid, gingham, and argyle socks. i love layers and mismatching. i even pretend that i care that things were made in america simply because i like how it sounds. i enjoy vinyl. i enjoy the fact that pbr is $1 maybe 2. i have 5 cameras and love pictures. i immensely enjoy music and independent films. i enjoy dancing. i love dresses and bikes and apple computers and i wish i had an iphone. i wear black thick rimmed glasses to see and ray bans when the sun is in my face. i am incredibly sarcastic. i enjoy making old things new. i enjoy rustic interior design and blogs. i can occasionally be found in a locally owned coffee shop with my mac and earphones.

but i think that greasy hair is gross. and believe all girls should have long hair. i will never grow my own food. i do not believe in organic things or shop at earth faire. i eat chicken (well, all meat) and am not opposed to eating any fast food or things deemed bad for me. i think graphic tees are dumb and that all tshirts should be plain. i think that boys should avoid skinny jeans and stick with slim fit jeans. i think that mom jeans and high waisted pants or shorts are still unattractive.

so i read this article after getting throughly offended at being called a hipster (which is what hipsters are supposed to do anyways)

and it is long so i won't be offended if you don't read it, but it said this:

"One could say, exaggerating only slightly, that the hipster moment did not produce artists, but tattoo artists, who gained an entire generation’s arms, sternums, napes, ankles, and lower backs as their canvas. It did not produce photographers, but snapshot and party photographers: Last Night’s Party, Terry Richardson, the Cobra Snake. It did not produce painters, but graphic designers. It did not yield a great literature, but it made good use of fonts. And hipsterism did not make an avant-garde; it made communities of early adopters."

then i found that this article was adapted from a book. A WHOLE BOOK.

to answer one question.
