An Open Letter to Hipsters
A possibly drunk blogger named “Brow” wrote an open letter to hipsters after visiting Williamsburg last weekend. He’s onto something that sounds very apocolyptic of hipster culture, and I think he hates you.
Hipsterdom, the very zenith of counterculturalsim was in danger, as all fads are, of trying to outdo itself, tripping itself up in its own quest and unraveling ultimately because of it. Up in Boston they are a stronger force in the population, less easily discernible, but the soul of the movement has a healthy froth here and what I heard of in New York stands to undermine everything.
And he goes on…
Everyone has exclusionary groups until they become imperialist. Think hard america, its time for the great ecumenical movement within art to cast these heathens out, for the sake of everyone else.
