ACCESS DENIED: Hipster Bashing

I really, really hate this blog.

Not only has the whole hipster bashing thing gotten old, but this blog is chock-full of racism, homophobia, misogyny, and fat-phobia. A picture of one or more black persons is inevitably accompanied by a mention of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., or gangs. Asians? Insert broken English. Men touching? "No homo." Androgyny? Dude looks like a lady.

I also find it interesting that the author of this blog remains anonymous. I have a feeling that it's because he (judging by the frequency of homophobic comments I'm going to assume the author is a sexually confused, self-identified heterosexual male) isn't actually all that different from the people he is bashing. And he's bitter that all these fucking hipsters are coming out of the woodwork to rub in his face uncool he is.

This leads me to wonder, how did the author come to develop such deep hatred for "the hipster"? I have a few theories.

(1) Once or twice, back in 2002 someone wearing (choose one: skinny jeans/oversized glasses/sweater vest/iPod earbuds) gave him the cold shoulder at a Belle & Sebastian concert.

(2) He got turned down for a date by a girl with a septum piercing.

(3) He listened to Cat Power and wore oversized glasses way before they were cool, and now all these fucking hipsters are prancing around like they are on the cutting edge.
