Anti-hipster Angst

Today I’ve been thinking about hipsterness. I mean, it may or may not be something I ponder on a regular basis, but today it was mostly because I watched this video (which my flippin’ awesome Cincinnati church created for their Super Bowl service last weekend) and spit tap water all over my keyboard at work. And I thought, I can laugh at that, because I’m not that girl.

Sure, I have a vintage-looking bike with a basket out front, but it’s actually only two years old. I wear a lot of scarves, but they’re mostly from the GAP. I love irony because I have an English degree and it’s my job. And ok, I’m a sucker for local and organic food, but I shopped at Findlay Market back when it was dangerous so I’m entitled to have a preferred butcher. And anyway I’m not vegan. And my glasses are not totally square. You should also know I’m listening to Taylor Swift right now.

I’m just saying you can’t put me in the hipster box, that’s all. So don’t even try. Because I’m happy that Of Monsters and Men are on top-40 radio, ok?

Also, this mustache is real. So there.
