Look At This Fucking Hipster is another unjustified attack on defenseless hipsters.
Speaking of hipsters, during the recent American Apparel on Valencia “crisis”, we asked you guys to tell us What’s Your Definition of a Hipster? and got some great responses.

I saw this earlier. I LOLed.
So, they basically steal pictures from Vice Magazine’s “do’s and don’ts” and add a less amusing caption?
Oh, great. You know what comes next… all the hipsters are going to start hating hipsters. Great.
I was looking for a website like this a few months ago, I’m glad someone set it up…
“Unjustified attack on a hipster” is an oxymoron, like “military intelligence” or “marijuana initiative”. They’re walking targets.
By the way, I’ve always preferred to refer to these people as “counter-conformists”, as it’s both more precise and more derisive. I refer you to the San Francisco Lexicon (http://www.mikeycosm.org/sflexicon.html):
“Counterconformist: Someone who convinces themselves (and other counterconformists) that they are nonconformist by conforming to a set of fashions and sensibilities that run counter to those of the greater mainstream society. (cf. “Camp”.) Counterconformists can be identified by their tendency to form countercultures, usually around real nonconformists, like snowflakes form around airborne dust particles.
Look for the genuine iconoclasts in your neighborhood. The counterconformists are the people clustered around them, who think that slavishly following a unique person’s lead makes them unique too.”
I’ve also got helpful definitions of “tattoo”, “costume”, “camp”, and “California” for those who are unclear on those concepts.
“When you’re not busy listening to music that used to be cool but isn’t anymore but now is and won’t be by the next time you go crate digging, you’re probably getting drunk off PBR and doing real drugs because weed is so 90’s. When it’s time to eat, you hop onto your neon fixed gear bike and look for the cheapest vegetarian cafe and go there to just stand outside to smoke cigarettes. After smoking and not eating, you and your posse park your bikes in front of Ritual Coffee Roasters in the Mission, and hang out there writing in your Moleskine notebook and discuss things that are “post-modern.””

I Love Hipsters!
They piss everyone off!
Equal Opportunity Annoyers!
And they don”t wait all year for “Burning Man” to dress like freaks!
As a co-conspirator of mine quipped of late: :
“To complain about hipsters in SF is like moaning about asians in Tokyo”.
I just think of the town as a ‘target rich environment’,… For what exactly?
I’ll let you fill in the blanks.
blogs are so hip
Hipsters ruin everything !
