I just got back from New York and fuck it's like the biggest breeding ground for hipsters. You could throw a stone and hit thirty of them. Also since hipster is mainstream now true hipsters are going goth

I read that post-modernism is in no small part about self-aware irony. The same article announced that postmodernism ended with 9/11. Is that some kind of hipster meta-irony?

Tattoos, facial hair, gauges- does this count as hipster-ish or is it closer to a full blown definition of though hipster?

Fuck. Hipsters are everywhere in Brisbane. Every graphic designer has the one uniform: V-neck shirts, tight pants, black boots, thick framed glasses, hair short around the side but long and side-swaying at the top (male and female).

Even if you ignore hipsters, they can survive by feeding off attention they receive from each other. Sort of a closed, self-contained system required no external nourishment.

I don't dislike hipsters, I just have a hard time communicating with a lot of them. The long pauses before many of them speak, as they parse the levels of irony in the situation and figure out the 'best' response can get painful. Also it makes me sad because it feels like they don't really like anything. Kind of passionless. Not all of them, of course. But you know.
