hipster

Hipsters get a pretty bad rap, but honestly it's just SO EASY to make fun of them. Can you blame us? Their love of all things irony, hating anything mainstream, IPAs, beards, strange haircuts and fixie bikes are just made for meme-ing.

In fact, the hipster's desire to be unlike anyone else is all a little...ironic given their tendency to assimilate with hipster culture, don't you think? Queue Alanis Morissette.

We thought LiveJournal designs were over but it's 2019 and people are still putting emo text on faded hipster imagery. Fortunately for us, some like-minded mischief makers decided to improve these cheesy pictures with some much-needed sarcasm. 

Behold, hipsters in their natural habitat! Mating season is upon us which means that the hipster must reach peak irony levels in order to attract a mate. This objective can be achieved by completing totally mundane tasks with the most gratuitous of gestures, or by offering potential suitors a slice of free-range vegan avocado toast. Let's scroll down to examine the specimens more closely.

Earlier this a man was photographed taking a selfie in front of protests during the G20 Summit in Hamburg, Germany. The very bearded man, who was clad in all black, definitely has the "hipster" look. After a meme mocking the selfie-taker went viral on Twitter, the photoshop edits, depicting our hero in dangerous and inappropriate situations, started pouring in. 

Are you more Soundcloud or Bandcamp? This comparison meme has been taking Twitter by storm since user @Jsmithyeet sent out the tweet below. The burger on the left (effortlessly cool) represents Soundcloud, whereas the burger on the right (trying way too hard) is representative of Bandcamp. Pair this theme with the musical differences between the sites (hip-hop vs. hipster) and you've got quite the hit. Here's a collection of our favorite efforts.
