Whale Pants on the Inside, Converse on the Outside- the Modern Man's Dilemma

"The hipster handbook 101 clearly states that to be a definitive hipster, one must grow up truly preppy and attending multiple country clubs in various states (the man about whom you ask went to this tiny place where I used to go visit my family as well) , but then must leave it all behind to attend a small liberal arts college in maine followed by a job in the creative sector in one's mid-20s. The country clubs and preppiness still remain an inherent part of a hipster's inner composition, but the exterior is much more intellectual and interesting. It's like you're getting a 2 for 1 deal!"


-Reader Towhead, on why dipping a toe into the Hipster pool is not only a viable option but an increasingly preferable one

To my mid-western brain this is more disturbing that finance meets fashion. IBank girls seek socialist metro-sexual boys for organic, locavore dinners and long walks extolling the virtues of Che the Beloved.

Hah no the real draw is being able to say you went all experimental and hippy and shit, but also count on the guy to shun his goofy hipster hat when its required of him and put on a sell-out button down shirt like everybody else.
