A little while ago I was talking to my mom and sister about somethingorother, and we started talking about Main street. My sister scoffed and said that she hated shopping there because of a certain type of person that frequents these particular shops. When I asked her what she meant, she responded, "Hipsters. You're a hipster, you should know."
GASP!
I lost it. "WHAT??? Why would you say that to me?? I am SO not one of THEM."
I have always hated being associated with THAT WORD. To me it implies snobbery and arrogance... which is kind of weird, considering that many of them appear to have gotten their clothes from the dumpster. (Not all of them... but you know who I'm talking about.)
Why would she think I'm like that? I suppose I dress in a similar manner. I typically do have mod-ish haircuts... and lord knows I love some new wave music. But am I a total elitist jerk about it?
I just don't know how to reconcile being so annoyed by something that I may actually be.
Maybe it's the nerd glasses? *sigh*
I'm really not into Arcade Fire at all, if that helps.

It must be something in the air...Just yesterday a friend said to me "Face it. We're hipsters."
