Adbusters vs. Hipsters


A friend told me about an article in the new issue of Adbusters called Hipster: The Dead End of Western Civilization. There's a lot of hipster-hating and not a lot of analysis; but, it's interesting for the ways the author separates the categories "hipster" and "revolutionary." Plus, as some of the commenters mention, it's telling that the article is printed in Adbusters, which is selling its own brand of soulless, commodified revolution.
