I went into Lomography on East 23rd Street in Manhattan a few weeks back, having heard of the camera / format before but not being entirely familiar with it. Their storefront is visually arresting, with their trademark cameras on display and photographs wallpapered all over. It’s situated next to…

Submission Apology
Sorry Hipsters, you ruined your own Thanksgiving for Black Friday: a capitalist marketing holiday in front of the nearest Apple Store. Sorry if the dinner wasn’t vegan.

Sorry Hipsters; just because you wear ethnic clothing doesn’t automatically make you understanding of other cultures. Also militants in the Middle East want their scarfs back.
I’m feeling lazy here’s one from awhile ago

Don't think the hipsters have good will, in the...
After reading the note with the Martin Luther King Jr. quote, regarding partial misunderstanding from people of good will, I must comment that I don’t think the hipsters have good will, in the first place. I think they are *intentionally* mentally lazy/ disingenuous in the adherence to MTV era specialized trends and postmodernism which they like .

“An artificial appropriation of different styles from different eras, the hipster represents the end of Western civilization – a culture lost in the superficiality of its past and unable to create any new meaning. Not only is it unsustainable, it is suicidal. While previous youth movements...

Sorry Hipsters; being progressive for the sake of being progressive, is not very progressive. Congratulations on being a fashionable rebellious commodity. Slogan based knowledge is still slogan based knowledge regardless of what it supports.

88th Apology
Sorry Hipsters; No one wants to sit through an explanation of why Stephen Malkmus is better than Kurt Cobain. Or why Pavement is better than Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, or why 90’s Stephen Malkmus is better than 21st century Stephen Malkmus. Basically don’t spend more than 3 minutes talking to me about Stephen Malkmus.
No offense, Stephen Malkmus.

Sorry Hipsters; but stop saying, “Form follows function,” I don’t think you really get it. You have little function, and way too much, “form”.

Sorry Hipsters; A Facebook status is not the same as creating social change. Also quoting a documentary is not educating the masses.

Sorry Hipsters; you don’t actually have depression. How do we know? Well, no one with depression actually brags about it. You also do not have Insomnia. Stop making Facebook statuses about it.

82nd Apology
Sorry Hipsters; I’m not saying tucking pants into your stylish boots looks bad, I really can’t be the judge of that. All I’m saying is that you look like an urban pirate, and you shouldn’t be so upset when people scream “Bangarang!” at you.
“What, no Chipotle?” “Bad form, Petaah”

Sorry Hipsters; growing a few vegetables out of your apartment does not mean you are suddenly part of some sustainable agricultural movement. You aren’t saving the world, you just grew a tomato.

Sorry Hipsters; but your greatest accomplishment is bringing back the facial hair “stylings” of the civil war.
I’m pretty sure William Tecumseh Sherman gave me the evil eye at the local record store before proclaiming, “Record shopping is hell!”

Sorry Hipsters; there’s nothing wrong with loving music, and taking who you listen to very seriously. Nothing wrong with being proud of supporting a local band before most people knew about them. There’s nothing wrong with knowing about all the record labels your favorite bands are on, and who they tour with.
There is something wrong if you think any of that makes you better than...

Sorry Hipsters; being able to blow smoke circles is not an impressive life skill. I mean Gandalf could totally blow a smoke ship, and that wasn’t even Gandalf the white.

Sorry Hipsters; we know you imagine yourself as a Winger-esque (ooh esque) character, but your desperation for attention plays off more like Star-burns.

Sorry Hipsters; you don’t live in the “rough” part of town, or the “ghetto”. You live in the suburbs, with minorities. You are just a racist.

Sorry Hipsters; but enough pictures from the bathtub. The reason is irrelevant.
This is the worst. No one should look at this and say, “Oh! Hey! Let’s recreate this buddies.”

Sorry Hipsters, conversations are not competitions. You don’t need to prove how original or intelligent you are by name dropping books you’ve probably never read. You won’t win.

Sorry Hipsters, accidentally getting Jalapeno juice in your eyes, or under your nails is not akin to being pepper sprayed in an attempt for social justice. You cannot “relate”.

Sorry Hipsters; just so you know, not every picture has to have some grainy vintage effect. Great job buying a two-thousand dollar camera only to regress to webcam-esque (oooh esque) quality.
Seriously, what’s your problem with clarity?
I should have started with, “Just so we’re clear.” Missed opportunity.

Sorry Hipsters; but seriously enough with the headdresses, not only have we destroyed cultures and societies but now you wear items considered of great spiritual value in some sort of ironic mockery. Bad form, man. Bad form.
You will never be Disney’s Pocahontas.

Sorry Hipsters; you can’t buy social change. Yea, the 60 dollars you spent on that, “hand-made” bag you bought from Whole Foods that supposedly came from some third world country is totally going to help end a cycle of injustice and poverty. Good one, of course it is important to let everyone know about your fight for social change on a global level, one fashionable accessory at...

Sorry Hipsters; complaining about how your parents have never done anything ‘interesting’ with their life while all you do is serve coffee, or work at some crappy movie theater and complain about other people’s lives, is not interesting. Sorry raising you wasn’t interesting enough.

Sorry Hipsters; do not emulate the movie “Into the Wild,” dying a very preventable death does not make you a hero. It’s like that Grizzly Man dude who was all like “Yea, let’s go live with bears. Bears are our friends”. Yea you know what happened? He got eaten, by his bear friends. So did his girlfriend.
