Comments on: Don’t take yourself too seriously – Look at this Fucking Hipster http://veganalternativeperth.com/posts/2009/dont-take-yourself-too-seriously-look-at-this-fucking-hipster/ Music, politics, fashion and food brought to you by vegans in Perth Thu, 26 Jan 2012 03:55:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: danmeow http://veganalternativeperth.com/posts/2009/dont-take-yourself-too-seriously-look-at-this-fucking-hipster/comment-page-1/#comment-58887 danmeow Wed, 27 Jul 2011 23:24:41 +0000 http://veganalternativeperth.com/?p=390#comment-58887 Bear in mind that firstly, this post was written in 2009, when the word hipster was barely known, because hipsters were far less prevalent, and those that were far surpassed "regular indie kids" like Valeria or myself in terms of self-importance and wankery. And secondly, I don't know if you followed the link to latfh.com but my guess would be that you didn't. The critical tone in those captions is because they were pulled directly from the website itself. This post is about not taking yourself seriously, because life's no fun without a good dose of self-deprecation (that doesn't mean pooing on yourself, but if that DOES happen you can see how being able to laugh about it helps you deal). It's not about hipster-bashing, and if anything, I'd call myself a hipster these days because the word has evolved, or at least society has become aware and changed it to incorporate anyone who buys from op shops, listens to vinyl (or at least high-bitrate downloads) and buys frankie, not just the poseurs of 2009 who discarded albums as soon as Pitchfork published a review.

Everyone is different and have different views and yes hipsters are annoying and mass produced crap on the high street is unimaginable at best but get down of your high horse love.
