Pretty interesting op-ed on The Morning News today … It’s easy to forget that the one’s who are speaking the loudest (in any scene) rarely speak or represent the voice of the majority … thus, dismissing everything “hipster” as materialistic, pretentious and downright stupid just because a lot (a lot a lot a lot) of that stuff exists makes it easier to overlook and dismiss the possible genius that could be lurking within it.
Interesting perspective …
“As Pandamonium illustrates, there’s no shortage of hipsters worthy of our mocking. But our challenge is to make the distinction between the artists and the pandas. Otherwise, when the next generation finds its own Jackson Pollack, John Coltrane, or Dorothy Parker, we’re likely to stifle their talents with our misappropriated cynicism. Or worse, we’ll turn them into a joke.”
