It's okay Douglas Haddow, I hate hipsters too!
Adbusters loses cool over them polaroid-toting, soft porn-aping, keffiyah-wearing gits. Comes off like extract from highschooler's journal:
We’ve reached a point in our civilization where counterculture has mutated into a self-obsessed aesthetic vacuum.
and, moreover:
We are a lost generation, desperately clinging to anything that feels real, but too afraid to become it ourselves. We are a defeated generation, resigned to the hypocrisy of those before us, who once sang songs of rebellion and now sell them back to us. We are the last generation, a culmination of all previous things, destroyed by the vapidity that surrounds us. The hipster represents the end of Western civilization – a culture so detached and disconnected that it has stopped giving birth to anything new.
Far more on the money is this: the Onion's Hipster Archive.
