Has this word become so integral in describing a particular person or an idea that we can't be original anymore?
Especially in fashion. I've noticed that people are all beginning to dress in a similar way which makes people like me (who dress in whatever they feel like that morning) look like slobs. Now, I'm not saying that I look like a slob. I think I dressed myself quite well today. Gray skinnies, black combat boots, a black canvas jacket and my lovely Captain America tank.
I think I look good. But hipster? Really? What defines a hipster? Seriously, it makes me wonder. Sometimes I want to be "hipster" because they dress pretty sharply. At least the men do. Hipster girls are a different story. Defining a hipster is hard because if you define them, they automatically lose their "hipsterness" because you've put them in a category with other people. If that's the case, then why do we even call people hipsters? Seriously, people can dress however they want because that's their own personal fashion choice. I don't need to be called hipster because of the way I dress, and neither should anyone else.
Oh, and you're not hipster if you're trying to dress like the others.
Hipster is in and of itself a stand-alone category and it can be whatever the person wants it to be.
So don't call me hipster. I'm just being me.
Here's how I feel about the hipster trend:
This is what's going to be on TV next. We're running low on ridiculous and scripted reality shows, right? UGH, don't even get me started on the stupidity that is reality television.
Cheers!
