1) MIT Technology Review publishes a story explaining how people who resist mainstream culture frequently end up all looking alike. 2) A photo of what you might call a "prototypical hipster" accompanies the story. 3) Some guy sees the photo, recognizes it as himself, and is furious. He doesn't like being called a hipster one bit. Sends a demand to the MIT guys that they stop using his likeness. 4) MIT guys check with the stock photo agency, and it turns out that not only do they have a full and legal model release for the photo, its not the same guy!!Man angry his photo was used to prove all hipsters look alike — then learns it wasn't him. |

Looks like the Americana music costume as well minus the prerequisite beat up sunburst Gibson or better yet old Silvertone archtop.

From the article:
Sounds like what my Dad always said about the hippie generation. He also adds that the main thing that culture brought to us style-wise was designer jeans.

Everybody looks like somebody else. Nobody is an individual style unto themselves. We all buy into one one or another look.

People says ....one person has a clone or a twin. We’re all unique.
Few people think that I’m somebody else. One lookalike Nick Nolte.
I was in a Aires Buenos Argentina restaurant. They wanted to give me free food.

When you get right down to it, you just can't beat irony. It is the basis of humor. Life. Universe. God.

He should've checked with an iPhone's face recognition.

I thought Senior Hipsters were the ones who all had the replacement surgery.

I think I have a few Ti plates, but my hip is CoCr. (maybe with a touch of Mo?)
