Time to Move On: If you live in SF, Portland, NYC, Boston, Chicago or Witchita, You're a Goddamn Hipster

ohad on Hipsters

Just spotted this (hopefully) hipster-ironic post on Ohad’s photoblog and couldn’t help but note how slutted the use of the word “Hipster” has become lately.  I mean, I was downtown the other day and two 30-something bodybuilder types in Armani suits were cackling that some dude that didn’t have his light-blue button-up tucked in was a hipster.  ”Hipster” has become a meaningless, all-encompassing term for everyone in this town.  Let’s just rename “Hipster Hill” “Tallboy Terrace” and be done with it.

    I mean… that old lady is clearly a hipster. Also, Chicago is FULL of hipsters drinking tallboys of Steel Reserve. Trust me, I used to live there.

    When I lived in Chicago me and the other hipsters were down with the $5 Leinenkugel pitchers.

    I posed the “Tallboy Terrace” vs “Hipster Hill” debate to the Mission Dolores Park facebook page. Leading suggestion is “Hep C Hill”. http://www.facebook.com/DoloresPark?ref=ts
