check out: unhappy hipsters
I like the gentle melancholy of this new blog unhappyhipster.com. It does little more than run arty shots of hipters* with smart captions.
I guess it’s taking the piss. But it doesn’t really poke fun at the people. No, I think it’s more about reflecting on our fascination with this quiet, ephemeral aesthetic. And loneliness. 
* Now, let’s talk about hipsters. It’s a term that’s cropped up again (having originated in the 1940s), and now describes cool kids who keep abreast of aesthetically driven trends. Mostly, however, it’s used colloquially to describe kids in their 20s who wear Buddy Holly-esque glasses and aprons as dresses, ride single-speed bikes, hold obscure film appreciation nights, own a street art gallery AND a T-shirt label AND a website design business and live in Darlinghurst/Newtown/ Williamsburg/Collingwood/Fitzroy. Or with mum.
I find these kids sweet. They tend to take time to appreciate little quirks and are often adept with whimsy, which I’ve written about before.
I think my daughter is a ‘hipster’ in the making.She is only 9 and is planning her first etsy shop selling alternative headbands for ‘girls who dont like prissy accessories’ she says.
Then again she has always been different wanting to dress herself from the age of 2.However what is ‘normal’? I love her quirkiness and that she doesn’t feel the need to conform with her classmates who are high school musical crazed.
like it! Your description is so true. have been looking for a word to describe those ‘types’
I would like to add that Frankie magazine is the hipster bible.
agree!
I LIKE your daughter… has she checked out style rookie?
