basic hipsters

Lobsters used to be considered on the same spectrum as rats. RATS. People refused to eat them and inmates were only allowed to eat them once a week. Now, lobsters are a high-class food so that makes me wonder, who decided “oh lobsters are going to be a delicacy now and all restaurants are going to serve them!”

This also leads me to think, who is it that chooses what the next “big thing” or the next “big trend” is going to be?? Or maybe the right question I should be asking is who is it that is dumb enough to follow?

As a society, we care too much about trying to fit in with what the newest fashion is. Currently, that would be the bohemian look. Most of the men and women who consider their style “bohemian” think that they’re really hipster and unique because they attend music festivals and live by the philosophy of hippies. But the thing is, if everyone thinks they’re hipster, then everyone is the same. This is just like the pink flamingos.


According to the third most popular definition on Urban Dictionary, a hipster is someone who “listens to bands you’ve never heard of, wears ironic tee-shirts, and believes they are better than you”.  Wikipedia describes their interests and clothing tastes as “non-mainstream”. That’s funny because if everyone claims to be a hipster- who are supposedly not mainstream- then wouldn’t everyone be mainstream then because everyone is the SAME?

How to say...there are negatives to the "big booty" craze

Image
“The most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about” (Wallace). The quote is one hundred percent true. The media often influences our perspectives as a society of what we should think about certain things. Let’s take the big booty craze that dominated this summer. It may not be hard to see in a literal sense but it did take a while before society realized that the craze was unhealthy. It also became a touchy subject to speak about because the trend began as a way to tell people to promote and embrace different body types but it resulted in women going to extremes to attain the new “ideal body type”.   In elementary school, if someone told you that you had a “big butt” you were deeply offended by the insult that basically meant “you’re fat”. This summer however, singers fueled the big booty craze with anthems like “Anaconda” and “Booty”. The obsession took over social media as celebrities from Kim Kardashian to Igg...
