The modern hipster is one of the most peculiar archetypes to appear out of the 21st century. Shunning away from popular culture to forge their own identity is akin to watching a baby deer see its mother get hit by a Hummer. However, even rebelling against the system has its downsides as Woodson Myers learned. He learned today that he is allergic to anything that appears to be getting popular or is already mainstream.

"It started off as a rash but now I start getting queasy, light-headed, my muscles stop working and I hear the voices of an Elder God if I get too close to an Apple product. That's why I had to switch over to an old rotary phone. Reception is kind of bad but nothing much I can do there" said Myers.

"The absolute worst part is the diet though. Before I learned of my condition, I was a pretty good pescetarian. Then I had to go full vegetarian, then vegan and now I can't eat anything that could be potentially be used as a fuel for another living being. I've been pretty much living off of pumpkin spice latte and cat food. At this rate, I won't be able to eat or drink anything of this dimension."

While the condition is still being looked into by top medical professionals, his friends and family mostly hope that the disease will kill him before.

"He's really kind of a jerk now. I know that he has to keep bragging about some obscure Uzbekistanian urban post-bop jazz fusion band or his Laosian frog-posting forum but it's getting really tiring over the smug attitude that he has over it. He's not the son I raised, he's some puppet controlling the dead body of someone I loved. It's like he's a zombie but at least zombies don't grow bad facial hair" said Myers' mother.

I wish to remind readers of the dangers of hipster-ism. Be safe out there, audience.

Non-conformity conformists hate themselves because of the inescapable logic of their situation. Shun the popular, now the unpopular is popular so shun the former things you didn't shun. Non-conformity must be a tiring state of mind, considering how impossible it is to truly achieve. "I was doing x before x was cool." Is something I have had many run-ins with, and simply put laughed my ass off at people for it. When the age of high school matters actually... well mattered, I was on the sidelines watching the cliques divide themselves and make fun of x, until that is x became cool then they did a 180 on their stance. I've a mind folks get dizzy from all the reversals they do to remain "cool".
I love people, not because I care but because they provide an endless assortment of moronic scurrying about keeping up with fads or the non-fads. Either side is just as shallow as the other and thats the tragedy, or comedy depending on perspective.

I wonder how he will react to discovering that everyone lives in a building... I'm pretty sure that he would spontaneously combust...

Actually, anyone for toasted marshmallows?

He can't spontaneously combust, he wouldn't be able to claim to have done it before it was cool.

I'm allergic to Taco News. Every time a Taco News post appears in the forums my brain gets a rash. I demand monetary compensation or a hug from a cute anime girl!

Funnier than a crowd of burning moose being hit by a freight train. I bet the tool still wears man-made fibers, though.

You know, this is fast becoming the only news source I trust.
I don't know what I'd do without the Taco and his hardline, no compromises crusade to bring us all the news we need to read.

This made my morning. I don't really hate the hipster look and style, and some of it is actually interesting but I can't stand the under ridding mentality of manufactured smugness. Liking things based on how not popular it is and then hoping that it gets popular so you can smugly rub it in everyone's face is just so childish. It manages to mesh all the things wrong with popularity and rat races and Voltrons into a stupid mentality that most of us managed to out grow by the time high school rolled around. Those articles written by that hipster made me walk away from Cracked.com (I was even enjoying the more serious 'SJW' articles).

Hopefully I'm not exaggerating when I say "Hipster has become mainstream", at least in dress sense. I see so many people out my window wearing flannel shirts, skinny jeans and ugly scruffy beards. Personally, I'd never wear that look.

Wasn't it always? I mean, if there's a term for it recognised across the world, it's likely sorta big. There's no point not conforming unless lots of people are doing it.
