Adbusters, you said it!
Thanks to Silliman for linking up this Adbusters story on hipsters.I think I've been trying to say what they said ever since Napoleon Dynamite made me angry. I tried, meekly, in this post.
I read the Adbusters story just a few hours after attending an American Apparel t-shirt fashion show event that was serving free PBR. No joke. Cool t-shirts + music sounded good to me, but I ended up confused by the mix of gritty styles and flashy/colorful hip hop sneakers. Lately it has been dicey every time Katie and I find an event listing that seems up our alley.
We just keep running into annoying art and sunglasses.
