hipsters - the movement we love to hate

ad busters features an insightful article about hipsters: the dead end of western civilization -  by douglas haddow. 

doug writes a semi-academic essay commenting on the culture of hipster and it's worth a read although it is a little pretentious.  check the article here.  

it's interesting though because i would bet that 70% of employees at adbuster are in fact hipsters, but i don't want to get into the irony of that.

another good article sounding off on the hipster movement can be read here.  it's titled why the hipster must die: a modest proposal to save new york cool - by  christian lorentzen.  as with jonathan swift's satirical essay, a modest proposal, lorentzen presents a some what sarcastic  solution to save new york from the hipster vacuum.

now fuck off you hipster...
