Are you a Hipster?

Have you ever wondered what a hipster is? Well according to dictionary.com, a hipster is a person who follows the latest trends and fashions, but according to the average college student a hipster is someone who goes against the normal trends just to be cool or get noticed. Now after reading the definition you might ask yourself “Am I a hipster?” Well… if you answer yes to any of the following question you are probably a hipster: are you wearing glasses when you have 20/20 vision? Are you wearing a fur coat with skinny jeans or tights? Are you wanting to "become a writer" when you've never written more than half a dozen poems? Are you wearing boat shoes, moccasins or loafers without socks? Buying Apple products and conveniently forgetting that they are "mainstream"? Now I am not saying that I think hipsters are in any way bad or criticizing people who call them selves’ hipsters. I am just saying to might want to look in the mirror or ask yourself a few of those earlier question before you go and judge people. According to a previous article we read in class called “ The culture of Cool”, hipsters do not exists because the definition of a hipster goes completely against what hipster say they are all about, kind of an oxymoron. But I am not here to argue over whether or not hipster exist but to merely ask you to take a look at yourself before you go name calling.
