It's quite depressing, actually, to be called a hipster.
A "hipster" is a classification of a new generation of modern people, usually young adults that "defy" society, who blast indie pop into their vintage CD players (because iPod's are too mainstream), who wear Ray Ban's and high waist-ed pants, and who take well-focused, high quality pictures of themselves smoking weed (while posting those lovely pictures to their Tumblr account).
I am not a hipster. Unfortunately, I'm always classified as one simply because I do hate the rules society has put into place, I do blast indie pop on vintage CD players (only because I'm very fond of tangible music), and I do happen to own a pair of high waist-ed pants.
Just because I defy society, because I'm independent and I have a very liberal way of thinking, because I post my inner thoughts about how wretched the world has become on a blog; paring these thoughts with well-focused high quality pictures from Tumblr, should I be classified as a hipster?
No. I will not be classified in a group that in itself has become mainstream.
I'm sorry that I like The Black Keys, a group that only has words on their first album, naming the album and the band quite bluntly, and a group that claims to never make music videos because its "too mainstream" when they definitely have about 10 videos on the most mainstream video website (Youtube).
Hipsters anger me.
(More to come soon.)
