Hipsterism

I'm currently writing this from an iPad right now. How mainstream of me...I'm sorry. Anyway I'm using this free write to talk about hipsters. Mrs. Cardona said something to me that I founds amusing and true.

I asked advice for my visual project that will be about rebellion of counter cultures. I brought up uptown Minneapolis to Mrs. Cardona who then scoffed in her Cardona way. She said that the people of uptown whom refer to themselves as hipsters are not counter culture,but are all conformists and hippies are examples of true counter culture.

I found this to be true. I visited uptown on Saturday and everybody looked the same. With their chai tea lattes, funky hair matted by cool hats, some attire of odd jacket, with indie music from the current 89.3 blasting out of their broken-down cars.

I simply scoffed in a cardona-ish fashion.

  1. I'm just being creepy. And it's kind of late, and I'm kind of still procrastinating. And I'm kind of reading everyone's blog.
    But I just wanted to say I really like this. I can tell you are a journalist.
