I AM NOT A HIPSTER

Are you hipster if you watch I’m not a hipster?

This is random, but kinda cool.

The Science Behind Your Hipsterness

Kevin Lewis, a researcher from Harvard, explains: “The meaning of an indie/alternative taste rests not just in the taste itself—but also in being the only one among one’s friendship circle that expresses it,” he claims. “If I like The Decemberists, and suddenly my friends start liking them too, suddenly I’m no longer socially distinctive. So this taste loses much of its appeal and I will run off in search of some new band to express my ‘hip’ identity.”

So, the only thing I gather from Lewis’s research is that he’s not a hipster. I mean, the Decemberists? That is so pre-iPod.

Hey Lana: It’s Gonna Get Better

This is not the end of it, but it could have been worse. Hey, Ashlee Simpson bounced back, right? Right? I mean, she’s somewhere, doing something. She’s still Jessica’s sister. That can’t be that bad. It makes you interesting by proxy. I don’t know if you have any famous relatives, but I’d give them a call. Hey. Hey, no need to cry now. Worst comes to worst, a.k.a. your record release bombs just as bad as your performance, you still can be a lip gloss model. Or Angelina Jolie’s lips double. I don’t know, you’ll figure it out. Just hang in there. Harry Potter is on your side, so you can ask him to use some magic to help you out.

Lana Del Rey Tells Us What’s What

Lana Del Rey addresses her critics after her dismal performance on Saturday Night Live.

I Look Uncomfortable on Stage.

Staring off into space with a blank look on your face is very cutting edge and avant-garde. It’s about circumventing your expectation of what a performer is supposed to do on stage. You think I’m going to entertain you with tons of charisma and stage presence, but that would be giving you what you want. My art is transgressive. I am not interested in placating your need for gratification. I want to upset you.

You can watch the “performance” here.
