Hipster Runoff is sort of a meta-meta-commentary on hipster culture, to the point that it generally doesn't make any sense. The basic posture is making fun of hipsters by pretending to be an ur-hipster making fun of lesser hipsters. It's almost impossible to understand without a.) reading lots of Hipster Runoff and b.) being fully immersed in the Brooklyn hipster culture that it grows out of. I'm not suggesting you do either, but rest assured, there are at least two layers of irony to everything Carles writes. I don't know myself if it's funny or not (usually not), but it's certainly not worth getting frustrated about. His goal is (I think) more to skewer the mass media idea of the hipster as much as anything. Your taking umbrage to the blog is playing into the general goal of it. Which, again, is not really coherent or consistent.justinnoreply@blogger.com
