Hipster

Adbusters recently published Douglas Haddow's amazingly accurate article on 'hipsters'.
If you haven't read it yet, do yourself a favor and do it now!

It describes a youth subculture that "mirrors the doomed shallowness of mainstream society."
"Less a subculture, the hipster is a consumer group – using their capital to purchase empty authenticity and rebellion... In the end, hipsters are sold what they think they invent and are spoon-fed their pre-packaged cultural livelihood."

Christian Lorentzen said it right, "they must be buried for cool to be reborn.”
