i remembered reading this item in a list of things 'not invited back in the new year', in the portland mercury the last time i was up there. i thought it was pretty funny then, and particularly poignant here/now... (without pointing any fingers):

Look down at your pants. Do they have pleats in them? If not, then to someone, you are a hipster. Do you wear gel in your hair? If yes, then to someone, you are a hipster. Do the words "Modest Mouse," or "Dunes," mean anything to you? If yes, then to someone, you are a hipster. So the next time you find yourself sh*t-talking someone for being a "hipster"--stop and make sure you're wearing pleats."


the complete article/list is here:
