LOL, I have a tattoo on the back of my neck too.... I must me the epitome of what some of you people hate.. young (well relatively young), working class woman with tattoos. Why would you care what my tattoos are going to look like when I'm 50? Isn't that my husband's job? With all of the crap going on in NE philly, you decide to pick on women with tattoos instead of the trash destroying our neighborhood (non-working, 2nd generation welfare recipients, ghetto cruisers, and general slobs?)
Wow. I have sleeves. Chest tattoos. I even have one on my hand. Another on my calf. And piercings in my face...AND BLACK RIMMED GLASSES.
I AM THE DEVIL!
May I express my horrid distaste for these hipsters?
It starts with the fact that I detest cloned sheep behavior - that is to say, any group of people who get together to all dress and act exactly the same and wear it as some sort of badge of honor that makes them feel "cooler than you." Especially when the only thing you've managed to prove is how unoriginal you are and how pathetic your shriveled sense of self is by this desperate need to fit in with a group. How can you ALL like the same crappy beer?? So lame.
But these fixie bike dregs are the highest on my hate list lately. Whereas most clones like emos, goths, hoods, etc just adopt some clothes, music and mannerisms, these people invade neighborhoods. I was in South Philly a few weeks ago and we drove past this huge gathering of them outside of some bar - I mean there were literally hundreds of "cooler than you" clones just hanging around approving of each others' insecurities. They seem to take some amazing pride in themselves that other cloned types don't even recognize.
Someone compared it with the hippies back in the day invading places like Haight-Ashbury, but I disagree. I disagree because these people don't stand for anything except their inflated sense of self-importance. Hippies meant something. Hipsters do not.
I think they suck. I'm not a hateful person, but I am misanthropic towards their type. I apologize for it, but stand by it. Fixies go home!
Here is a cute little article I read a while back...

Philly Obviously A Part Of Embarrassing New Wave Of Five-Years-Too-Late Hipster Hatred
Here we go again. We thought we’d sorted this out before, but apparently not, so listen up, as we’d really like to never have to speak on this subject again: In 2009, there is no such thing as a hipster. “Hipsters” as we know them today are a psychological construct created by breeders and cubicle jockeys with a laundry list of things in the real world that make them uncomfortable, ranging from body images to sexuality to their own miserable life decisions. And when you hear somebody complaining about hipster this or hipster that, more often than not, that person is simply tipping their hands that there are myriad things that bum them out about their own lives; the whole hipster construct is just a way to project whatever negative feelings that reside in that person’s sense of self onto any of the various and sundry cringeworthy things that young people do. (And as it turns out, hipsters in their original Norman Mailer form are probably something we could stand to have around again.) We bring it all up because it would seem that the wages of the so-called Hipster Grifter are presently being paid in the form of a whole new wave of hipster hatred. It’s heating up on Craigslist Rants & Raves again, there’s all the accompanying Kari Farrell gear, and any number of bull**** Tumblr blogs, from lookatthis****inghipster.tumblr.com to Philly’s own homegrown version of that, ****ing Hipsters In Philadelphia. Mother****ing yaaaaaaawn. We’re really still talking about this? Actually, do go on: This is a perfect way to do that spring sweep of “friends” we’ve been meaning to do.

In a world where everybody is sporting tattoos, piercings, hoodies, Timberland boots, sagging pants, etc, the neatly dressed, clean-shaven guy in a business suit and carrying a briefcase is the real rebel.
Why do hipsters like Pabst Blue Ribbon beer? That's the stuff we drank when we were flat broke. If we were truly destitute, it would be swill like Milwaukee's Best.
