[lbo-talk] hipsterism nailed

[B.]

I kinda have to agree, sans irony. Taking digs at
'hipsters' (as Justin E.H. Smith strictly defines them
at his blog) in the middle of 2007 seems kinda
redundant/played out. Sort of like making fun of
"emo," which has become a garbage basket term in any
event. I guess some folks still accept the emo label
(see:

- yikes!), but like 'hipster' it's not something
anyone's gonna 'fess up to; it and all it represents
have been through the ringer too much.
