Why The Hipster Movement Needs to End Now

If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, does a hipster buy an album?

Why The Hipster Movement Needs to End Now

I truly believe the hipster movement needs to be put to an end. I can't be the only one tired of seeing individuals partake in the strangest activities in order to be "innovative" or different. Hate to break it to you, but you really aren't that different if the rest of the world is mimicking your trend.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have met plenty of nice hipsters, wonderful people! It is just that some of their top choices of leisure activities need to end, or at least, be tuned down.

Here is a list of annoying hipster behaviors.

1. Wearing beanies on a 90-degree day.

2. Taking pictures of their food without ever eating it.

3. Using phrases like, "Well, you've probably never heard of it."

4. Becoming vegans not because they think it's morally wrong to eat meat, they just think it will make them seem "edgy."

6. Only listening to vinyl. Do you really hear a difference between the two, or do you just want to show off your new record player from Urban?

7. Only shopping at Urban Outfitters.

8. Refusing to admit they live a hipster lifestyle.

9. Listening to music that absolutely no one has ever heard of on the face of the Earth, ever! I'm all for finding new music, but not when you just listen to a no name band that sucks, just to feel different.

10. Drinking coffee from vintage shops.

11. Wearing overalls. This is a trend that should be limited to farmers or children from the '90s.

12. Paying ridiculous amounts of money for something that is "vintage." Like no, the "table" you bought for $100 is a tree stump. I could have cut down from my backyard for free.

13. Longboarding.

14. Only buying records.

15. Male hipsters are constantly rocking haircuts that are longer than mine.

16. Wearing flannels.

17. Vaping. Don't even get me started.

18. Refusing to like anything that is considered mainstream.

19. Taking random pictures and considering them works of art. I'm not sure what you're looking at , but all I see is a rusty nail on a kitchen table.

20. Using typewriters.

21. Creating absurd accessories, like using clothes pins as earrings.

22. Wearing oversized glasses. I'm pretty sure you are a little young to need readers.

23. Using actual film when taking pictures instead of a digital camera.

24. Or maybe they only use polaroids?

25. They will sometimes dress like homeless people because why not?

26. Acting as trendsetters, even though they are following the trends.

27. Casually smoking cigarettes.

28. Preaching about the importance of saving the Earth.

29. Just annoying me.

30. Just accept you are a hipster, and stop refusing it! It's really cool you are into all these things, just admit you are a hipster. It's driving the rest of us nuts!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
