Spartan Reader- Post #2

           This tumblr feed, self described as a Field Guide to the Passionate Opinions of the Indifferent, gives an entertaining look into the world of the Hipster. Featuring posts such as "Why Hipsters hate Christmas Decorating", and "People Who Show Their Uncool Cousins Around the City", this tumblr allows this sub-cultural group to publicly display everything they dislike.

The question "What is a hipster?" is answered by this tumblr. Through careful consideration of and immersion in the ethos of the subculture known as "hipsterdom," the authors have gathered a collection of both observations and found documents demonstrating the disposition and character of the modern-day hipster. One notable post is called "Country Music". In this post the author describes their experience at a local bar when a country song came on. She expresses her disdain for her friend Micaela's "gettin all nostalgic" and asking if she knew this country song. The author then goes on to describe another situation in which her friend made a fool of her self by admitting she likes country music. Finishing up the post she states that bluegrass is "kinda rad" and describes the subtle differences between the two genres that make country intolerable. This tumblr has something for everyone; due to the fact that hipsters tend to hate everything everybody can get a new and interesting viewpoint on the things that they know and love.

I feel like this tumblr is just the right mix of funny and offensive. Which is cool, because that's kind of me in a nutshell: funny to the people who get me, and slightly offensive to everyone else. I might have to check this out and learn the ways of the hipster.
