Maybe you know one or were one or — just maybe — you are one. Well, Adbusters lays an awful lot at the doorstep of the poor, put-upon Hipster. Here is how they open their cover package of their September/October issue:
“We’ve reached a point in our civilization where counterculture has mutated in to a self-obsessed aesthetic vacuum. So while hipsterism is the end product of all prior countercultures, it’s been stripped of its subversion and originality, and is leaving a generation pointlessly obsessing over fashion, faux individuality, cultural capital and the commodities of style.”
