Hipster (Continued)

As I sat at school today, I started to think about my "Hipster" blog post that I posted yesterday. I'm still trying to find out what I really think of hipsters. As I thought about them, I realized something about their conformity, even though they preach nonconformity.

If you read the definition I posted of what a hipster is, then you know that they are against the mainstream and try to be extremely different and cool in a different way and things like that. They also hate conformity, which is what they think that everyone else in the world is doing. They think that all the people in the world that are mainstream are conformists. But if you think about it, hipsters are the conformists in the matter. They make their own group and anyone who doesn't do certain things or like certain things isn't allowed to be a hipster. The whole thing is exactly like South Park.

If you watch South Park a lot, you know the emo characters. They are probably my favorite characters on the show. Most of what makes them so funny is that they do exactly what hipsters do. The characters in the show hang around doing different things like drinking coffee (they're fourth graders) and smoking. Whenever "regular" kids are mentioned they start calling them conformists. But then when kids try to join the emo group, they tell them that to be an emo you have to do this and that (drink coffee, smoke, wear black). South Park is hilarious.

Anyway, hipsters are cool but at the same time they are hypocrites. I don't know if I'm a hipster, but I suppose its for others to decide. I do what most hipsters do. Maybe I could just be an "indie kid" instead. It sounds good enough.

Also, this week at my school is spirit week, and today was "Wacky Wednesday" or something like that. Right away I noticed that everyone was dressed like they were hipsters. Just in case you're wondering what hipsters look like, check out the Tumblr page I mentioned in an earlier post. Here it is: http://lookatthisfuckinghipster.tumblr.com/
