So, I’ve noticed a trend lately in my posts, they are all tending to be about the apathetic sect of our generation that I like to call hipsters.
There is something about that group of people that really annoys me, or at least I pretend to be annoyed by them. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m one of them or what. Maybe I’m one of them, but maybe I’m not, anyone have any particular ideas of what totally classifies a hipster?
I’ve always thought that it was about clothes and being into more indie music than other people. There’s some bad connotation too about the apathy, but I’m not sure if that needs to be part of the definition.
Maybe, with all this new-found growth in my life both emotionally and mentally I just need to let that go. I think I need to embrace my being a hipster rather than shun-ing it.
And irregardless of labels and stereotypes, there is more things that the human race has in common than different. So I should probably start working on that. Making more connections, rather than separating people from be based on the clothes they wear or music they listen to.
A few years ago, a now ex-boyfriend and I used to have this argument all the time. Who was more hipster, and somehow it always had bad connotations. Hipsters are dumb, hipsters are sheep, hipsters are apathetic. I’m done with that. I think for me really getting any sort of understanding is going to be found in accepting my station.
What’s that proverb, something like “The smartest man knows only himself.” I’m not sure who said that or where I’ve heard that, but it seems fitting for my situation right now.
