AWESOMECON

I was reading a tweet by @mdowney which referred to a post on BuzzFeed about the top 10 Michael Jackson acapella videos. This post is not about that… well, not directly anyway. I was watching the video for “Beat It” and during the breakdown/fight scene I had an amazing revelation. Holy SH*T!!! THOSE THUGS ARE HIPSTERS!

So, apparently hipsters are 1983 thugs from the “Beat It” video. Amazing but true. Check out around 2:30 in the video to revel in the pre-hipster-hipster fashion.

In the not-too-distant future, we’ll be laughing at fake wayfarers, neon keffiyehs, and ironic facial hair in the same way we now derisively dismiss pegged jeans, trucker hats, and acid-washed anything. In the meantime, Look at this Fucking Hipster is chronicling the worst of these offenders for our future lulz (or present, for those of us that don’t live in Williamsburg).
