more on hipsters, i guess...sigh

" a generation of middle-class youths interested in an alternative art and music scene. But instead of creating a culture of their own, hipsters proved content to borrow from trends long past. Take your grandmother's sweater and Bob Dylan's Wayfarers, add jean shorts, Converse All-Stars and a can of Pabst and bam — hipster."

- TIME "Hipsters" July 2009

* doesn't that make total sense? If hipsters are truly postmodern, then most of their material will be borrowed, as "there is nothing new under the sun" any more. Creativity is expressed through pastiche.

Also, check out this article (ADBUSTERS: "Hipster: The Dead End of Western Civilization" ) because the title is funny and Adbusters is way ridiculous anyways.

"The hipsters who will be the dead end of Western Civilization are the ones who add nothing new or original and simply recycle and reduce old trends into a meaningless meme."
