I won’t apologize for not posting all month.  I’m very busy and important.  But I do intend to update more frequently now that I have internet in my apartment.  Livin’ the dream…

Now that that’s out of the way, onto today’s topic: hipster haters.  Before I fled the coop of Atlanta and flew north for winter, it seemed you couldn’t swing a dead cat in Virginia/Poncey Highlands without hitting a hipster in his skinny-jeans-ironic-tshirt-asymmetrical-haircut-and-decorative-eyeglasses-wearing face.  Clearly, it didn’t take long for us (myself, Biloxi, and the other Wharf Rats) to jump on the hipster-hating bandwagon.  What we didn’t know was how crowded that wagon already was!

In the last week, I have stumbled upon not one, not two, but three websites/blogs dedicated to mocking hipsters.  STUMBLED UPON, meaning, in all honesty, I did not once google “hipster” or any related term.  Rather, I just came across these beauties as I did my online shopping and caught up on the blogs I follow.

That got me thinking: what else is out there?  In case you have wondered the same thing, I present to you the following:

• Hipster Puppies.  Irony is much less irritating on puppies than on skinny dudes.
• Hipster Kitty.  Because crazy cat ladies want to hate on hipsters, too.
• Look At This F***ing Hipster.  Seriously, look at those effing hipsters.  I think February 26th’s hipster is looking back at you and undressing you with his eyes.
• Look At This Hipster Everything.  Now I have to worry about hipsterism spreading to my office supplies and oatmeal!
• Unhappy Hipsters.  Their brooding nature only adds to their street cred.
• Hipsters Have To Pee.  I guess those skinny jeans put a little extra pressure on your bladder.
• Bacon-Loving Hipsters Can Kiss My Vegan Ass.  Technically I guess this facebook group puts the hate on hipsters with a penchant for pork products, but with “bacon” and “hipsters” together in the title, it had to make the countdown.
• No Christmas trees, just artistry.  I wonder what would happen if a bunch of uppity hipsters created an American Apparel holiday ad similar to the Gap holiday ads?  What do you know: a NYC comedy troupe wondered the same thing.
• I Hate Hipsters.  Ain’t nothin’ ironic about this dude’s hipster hatred.
• What’s Worse: Hipsters or Guidos? Spoiler alert: consensus appears to be that hipsters are worse.  As one observer noted: “hipsters don’t fist pump.”  Can I get that on a bumper sticker?
• Hipster Suck.  The name pretty much says it all.  Featuring links to the hipster olympics (“a battle of apathetic grandeur”) and hipster jokes (Q: How many hipsters does it take to change a lightbulb?  A: Dude, the lightbulb was cooler before it changed).
• Die Hipster Die and Die Hipster.  But then what would we do with all the unpurchased skinny jeans and fedoras?  I guess we could send them to Haiti to be worn with the t-shirts celebrating the Colts’ superbowl victory over the Saints.
• Hipster Hunter.    Whatever you do, don’t miss the hipster.  Also featuring a dazzling array of nearly 300 hipster classifications.
