So a few months ago I attended
this speaking competition and the winner spoke about hipsters. Okay ok hate me
for talking about hipsters, but this speaker really took a new aspect to
hipsters. Rather than these instagram-obsessed, “trend-setting” people we
normally associate with hipsters, it was suggested to think of hipsters as
forward thinkers within society. Giving examples like Thomas Edison and Nelson
Mandela I couldn’t help but laugh when I imagined such strong figures dressed
like hipsters. More seriously, these ‘hipsters’ changed society because they
thought about change and the future. They were the first of their kind to step
out of the norm and think wildly to achieve something brilliant. These are the
kind of hipsters that I would love to see more of, not those choc-chai double-foamed
latte or whatever those lame hipsters drink to feel cool.
Toodles (or is that something a hipster would say :/...)
