ok maybe I’m just resentful of the whole 80’s “yuppy” thing (even as an art school student I couldn’t escape the label. Shoot me I had a job) but when-oh-when are we FINALLY going to rename the hispter?? YUPster gets my vote!
DOUCHES!
“rewrite: Damn, old fucks are SO clueless!”
Yikes! Someone’s got a knot in her keffiyah!
To all those above: I’m 21, live in Bed-Stuy, and I can appreciate the ridiculousness of hipster culture. It’s not an old people thing.
i thought hipster hate had become outre. the pic was kinda amusing though i have to admit that i got a bigger kick out of seeing etson reference the hipster grifter. hee
