ugh.
This is slightly different than before, which was an emotional (almost hysterical) reaction. It goes deeper than that; it’s not a response to a particular post or blog or article. It’s just something that’s been building for a while - a very un-Julia weariness, an uncomfortable level of cynicism & apathy, and, most surprisingly, (sit down) an increasingly urgent desire for privacy.
Is this how hipsters are born? From the embittered carcasses of their once sweet, naive, enthusiastic, optimistic younger selves?
Oh look, Julia Allison is turning into me RIGHT BEFORE OUR VERY EYES.
And as a New Gay (which is essentially a subset of Hipster, Visio chart forthcoming!) — at least for the purpose of this post — I can categorically say that no, this is not how hipster are born. At least in my particular brand of New Gay Pseudo-Hipsterism, I was born cynical and weary. I am not familiar with these alien notions of naivety and optimism.
