    Hipsters !

    An interesting take on what the "hipster" culture is.

    I don't see any kind of preservationism in them. In fact, I see something more of a "global culture" or "global oneness" thing going on there.

    What do you think ?

    I actually really agree with the author of the article about "art" for which parody lies at its core is a manifestation of a cultural spirit in the Winter of its life-cycle. Both Spengler and Yockey (as well as Wagner) recognized this in Jewish (Magian) contributions to Western music during the Romantic period, and I'll certainly agree that we're seeing this same trend within our own (Faustian) culture—not necessarily is this entirely the "fault" of outside influences. Although I will agree with Spengler and Yockey again that the pseudomorphosis of the Magian spirit within our own has accelerated our decline, it is still a natural downturn that follows the organic pattern of cultural life spans.

    Spot on. When we once again have values we can also have art.

    Revolutionary artists are always individuals apart from the pack. If the author is under the impression that the hipster scene is the best and only thing this generation has to offer, he's simply not looking hard enough.

    It really is a conglomeration of all the previous stupid trends. I thought 'emo' was bad enough (metrosexual+goth+punk) but 'hipster' this is even worse; metrosexual+retro 80s punk+retro 70s+retro 90s grunge. It was years before I even knew there was a name for such creatures, but I was like 'wtf are these faggots'

    "Hipsters" are Homo Sapiens-shaped emotional, intellectual and spiritual vacuums.

    I'll forgive you for trying to be trendy for about 15 minutes when you're very young, but if you don't cut it out by your mid-20's at the latest then you'll start looking more and more like a lost cause.

    Hipsterdom is the first "counterculture" to be born under the advertising industry's microscope, leaving it open to constant manipulation
    See? Us people who buy our clothes from the clearance rack at WalMart are the true revolutionaries of the modern age

    You know whats annoying? I was raised wearing clothing from thrift stores and charity shops because my family was poor, and I was ashamed of it. Whenever I saw someone else I knew from similarly poor circumstances going in there I would hide in case we met. Now that stuff has become cool. What the hell?

    I think the article is over-dramatic albeit interesting. Hipsters annoy me to the core, always have and probably always will considering my neighbourhood is swamped by them, whether they realize it or not. I'm pretty sure many of them don't even know what a hipster is they're just sheeple-ing.

    Is Western culture dead beyond a point of no return? Are we doomed to be permanently resigned? I don't think so. But it will take superhuman efforts of a few to wake up the majority of those that have fallen asleep. I think Psychonaut may be very right, about the art part.

    [rant]On this however, fuck hipsters, seriously, at least here, they berate rich people for being rich and snobs, but they are so contemptuous to anyone who doesn't follow "their ways" it's ridiculous and hypocritical. Oh and I happen to live in one of the most expensive neighbourhoods, so stop hanging out here because it's "trendy" go in the lower-income areas if you wanna be a) authentic and b) useful by bringing an economical influx and getting out of my sight.[/rant]
    There'll be no diversity if we end up burning in the Melting pot...
