jinxremoved commented on Hipsters = hippies - subversion + Twitter

"A few things...as noted Gawker is a part of the hipster media universe. Some things about this counterculture are rad (and misunderstood, most hipsters are emminently employable, hence the sense of cultural confusion and the flight from their yuppie/boomer parents) and some of the things suck. As noted in the article, it's cool to talk shit about hipsters, something all of you are taking part in as well, which is actually part of the hipster ethos."
