The CraveOnline Guide to 'Hipsters'

By Dave Schilling

I get a lot of books about hipsters to review.  I also get a lot of phone calls from my credit card company asking me to "please pay my past due balance," but I don't ask for those either!  Anyway, you might remember Mussolini reviewing Gavin McInnes's Street Boners.  Yes, I am aware that the article is a modern cyberspace classic.  I'd take a bow, but I'm in my office, all alone and it would just look like I was trying to blow myself.  Which...I kind of am, though only in the non-sexual, metaphorical sense.

I have to say that I'm really happy that all of you wonderful folks aren't tired of hearing internet pundits babble on about hipster culture.  I bet that Joe Mande, author of Look at this F**king Hipster is even happier, since he's gotten wealthy off of your rampant self-loathing.  I'm not quite to the "wealthy" part, but I'm working on it!  I had an idea for a Tumblr blog that is nothing but hipsters being mauled by mythical creatures, like unicorns, griffins, ligers, Bearsharktapuses and other savage beasts.  It's called Look at this F**king Hipster Get Eaten By A Goddamn Animal.  I see a movie deal in my future.

Isn't this way cooler than some guy in a flannel shirt?

Joe's book is just a port of his blog content, only now you can put it on your coffee table so that guests to your home can flip through it aimlessly while you avoid talking to them.  Thanks, Joe!
