Why This Blog, Why Now?

Ah, so you have found Meta Hipster Blog. The first thing you are asking yourself is probably something along the lines of "dammit, how has someone gotten away with making another one of these blogs?" Well, at risk of sounding cliche, this isn't another blog that simply mocks or celebrates the "hipster" lifestyle. The average blog about hipsters finds a niche within a niche and addresses it. It usually asks an absurd question, "what would a baby look like dressed in hipster clothes? What do hipsters have in common with the Taliban?" This blog fills a void, it chronicles those blogs. In the age of the internet, history is written immediately. But there is very little opportunity to step back and look at how we are writing this history, how we view ourselves. Other blogs can chronicle hipsters and how they express themselves, but this blog can chronicle how hipsters are being chronicled. It is an instant historiography. Instead of seeing hipsters, we can see how society views them and how they are presented to a general public (sometimes by themselves, sometimes by others). In hipsters (as shown through hipster blogs), we see ourselves. Also, these blogs about hipsters are ridiculous. Enjoy.
