I got myself a sort of obnoxious “edgy” haircut recently (buzzed on the sides with etched lines, faux-hawk on top, mullet in back), and I must say there’s something fun about sporting an annoying style like this. First, because I just felt like it. Second, because I’m realizing I really don’t care very much if some people think “douchebag hipster” or whatever. And third: my teenage kids think it’s “epic”. :-)
The fact is, I suspect I’m close enough to whatever many people think is a “hipster” that it’s not worth the effort to try to ensure I’m not mistaken for one.

Steve Albini apparently had to relinquish his favored hipster haircut because it had been co-opted by alt-right.

i think some people dislike hipsters because they associate them with a certain lifestyle/way of thinking/gentrification - which can often be wrong.

Seeing pieces like this published in 2020 is like finding one of those isolated Japanese island bunkers where the soldiers don't know the war is over.

I am still in favor of a return to "hep cat" as an accolade.

Speaking of McSweeney's, Dave Eggers Trump novel sounds like it's the worst thing to ever be written.

good. let's wind the culture back to 2010 -- a moment of crisis but also incipient hope -- and just do this shit over again, better this time.
