Pause for effect.
And I love love love blogs written by hipsters. I wish I could be a hipster, but, alas, I'm far too something to pull it off. Maybe it's the lack of vintage clothing or the non-reliance on spectacles. Whatever the reason, I can't do it right. Nevertheless, I do like to peruse hipster blogs. LOVE. Upon closer inspection though, they all do sort of seem the same. I've compiled a list from observation especially of sucre.tumblr.com of the things that all hipsters seem to love. Here goes...
As per http://sucre.tumblr.com, these are things that hipsters like (things I like too are bolded in pink. Because I'm that non-hipster):
- Macs
- bunnies
- 500 Days of Summer
- smoking
- photography
- Kurt Kobain
- Sylvia Plath
- poetry that no one has heard of
- The Smiths, The Sex Pistols, The Clash
- sweet food
- suggestions of drug use that may or may not be "acceptable", but iscertainly adding to the mystery
- sun peeking through shades, curtains, slightly ajar windows, castinglight into a scarcely furnished bedroom
- Starbucks coffee
- repetition (swoon)
- catch phrases
- indie rock
- classic comics
- outdoor activities that require little to no strain to accomplish
- classic books (in stacks, not necessarily read or quoted)
- thick black eyeliner
- diagrams of hearts
- macaroons
- sparkly clothes mixed with torn clothes
- major European cities' tourist attractions shot from afar so as to not recognize them readily
- creepy looking prom settings
- Christmas lights reminiscent of the Griswalds'
- kittens
- tumblr and all reference that they have tumblr accounts
- cakes
- lists
- tattoos
- freaky coloured eyes, hair, or light shows
- things inspired by all things Asian
- hipster glasses
- amusement park rides
- the eff word
- well-manicured nails
- poorly manicured nails
- Disney
- paint
- darkness
- obscure shots of emotion-filled lives
- toys from when we were kids in the 80's
Not a bad list of things to like, but a bit overly reproduced, non?
Listening to Carol of the Bells by The Bird and the Bee (I'll post it in a second). Lovely way to wake up.
