Josh brought this ridiculous Craigslist rant/rave to my attention today because this picture of us was, for reasons entirely unknown, displayed as a random example of “modern day hipsters.” My understanding of the word “hipster” itself is so fuzzy and vague that my opinion of the whole concept is that I may or may not hang out with hipsters and that I may or may not be one myself. I have very little investment in the idea, so it baffles me how some people (like the person who posted our picture) can ardently define hipsters as the new social order against whom everyone else is simply a Douchebag, while others can insist that hipsters are the evil spawn of the Ray-Ban-wearing, Parliament-smoking, tattoo-covered Devil.
My favorite (and least comprehensible) sentence of the entire Craigslist post?
“In a sense, the hipsters have won as they have successfully ‘hipsterized’ modern day sensibilities.”
Well you know me – leading the modern day battle of sensibilities with my unbeatable hipsterizing skillz.
Apparently I have a hipster...face?
