Miss INDIEpendent

I can honestly say... I don't like Hipsters. 

What's a hipster anyways? Someone who loves coffee, but refuses to go Starbucks? An individual who will buy a plaid shirt from the DI for $4, but will spend $200 on Zuriicks or Dr. Martens? A man or woman who claims to be creative, so they work as a barista? 

Hipsters are walking paradoxes. 

I honestly don't believe that such a thing even exists. I believe in being different, and independent, but "hipster" is not a good way to describe those things. I don't think listening to Bon Iver or owning a pair of gel shoes makes you different. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't. Because the truth is, everyone is different in their own way. There are not two people on this Earth that are exactly alike, not even identical twins. 

white is alright.

The other thing is, why is it such a negative thing to be "white"? I'm Caucasian, I'm from America, and so all are of you, so why should we be ashamed of that? For example, the book, "Stuff White People Like", why does it have a negative connotation? Am I supposed to feel stupid for liking Asian takeout? Or feel unoriginal for enjoying a girl's night in with my friends? If that's really the case, then Hipsters should feel stupid for having tattoos, black people should feel unoriginal for playing street basketball, and Mexicans should feel ashamed for enjoying drunken, unprotected sex. Everyone should just stop having interests because it's too "unoriginal" or it's so "been there, done that". 

However, I do agree with the negative connotation associated with white girls. 



I mean, if you're honestly taking pictures like this, you may want to re-think your entire existence. 


P.S. To all you "Hipsters" in Alpine: You are white, privileged, LDS, kids. You are not "hardcore" or "grungy". Just because you smoke weed or listen to Indie music, it does not make you the shit. 


P.S.S. I couldn't be a Hipster even if I wanted to, because I look terrible in beanies. Plus Folk music gives me a headache.
