Death to Hipsterism

Adbusters has a scathing and humourless (as is their style) criticism of the hipster trend.  Much of it i agree with, some of it i resemble, but its totally worth a read.

My favourtite quote:

Less a subculture, the hipster is a consumer group – using their capital to purchase empty authenticity and rebellion.

p.s. my bike is single speed, not fixed, so there.
