I don't want to be a Hipster

Hipsters, known for their; good will inspired wardrobe's, cigarettes, over exposed photography, beards, horn rimmed glasses, plaid, ironic T-shirts, using books as accessories, the underground film scene, indie music tastes and a false scene of individuality.

In my opinion, one of the most pretentious subcultures of our time ... and I am afraid that I am one of them.

This thought has plagued my mind for a while now. and I would like to respectfully decline this title.

I will not deny I do have Hipster tendancies.

-My adoration of Folk music, trock and a bit of dubstep
-My horn rimmed glasses
-I enjoy shopping at value village on occasion
-I wear plaid ... somtimes
-I appreciate ironic T-shirts (though I do not own them!)
-I am a proud anglophile, though I am not alone! so it's alright...?
-My obsession with lesser known theatre groups
-And my seemingly uncontrollable hipster thoughts
-My friend just informed me that being in the Slytherin house is hipsterish ...
-I'm on tumblr ... and my blog name is an obscured Shakespeare refference (EnterTheBear)
-I like badges
-I play the ukulele
-My favourite painter is Van Gough
-T.V shows include; doctor who, sherlock, community, american horror story, misfits, miranda ... etc
-I umm ... I like suspenders ... a lot ... and bow ties
-My favourite shape is a triangle

This is starting to scare me .. okay! reasons i am NOT a hipster

-I dont have a beard
-I dont smoke
-I know all the lyrics to the songs on the hit raido stations!
-I like icecream (more than gelato)
-I am not a vegan! I am an omnivore
-I don't fancy myself an author
-I watch reality T.V sometimes (big brother)
-I can get UN-ironically excited about things
-I have a Facebook page!
-I have been known to shop at stores like Walmart
-I don't own any records
-I don't cut my own hair
-My hair is not dyed in any way
-I don't play random instruments on public
-I only have my ears pierced
-No tattoos
-I live in a proper house and not some apartment above a cafe
-I may have horn rim glasses BUT they are prescription ... so it evens out

and the most important thing that proves I am not a Hipster is this ... I am aware of my SLIGHT Hipsterish-ness ... Hipsters are not aware of themselves.

Now, to end this off with a quote from a Hipster "Ain't no fantasty, ain't so respawn button for this shit."

And here are some images ... enjoy
