One for the hate file

Dear Hipster:

I think I found a loophole in your hipsters don’t ski hypothesis. I went to Mammoth for a ski trip, and I totally saw a hipster there...snowboarding! Hipsters may not ski, but they like to ride!

False. Hipsters do not get rad. You may have seen a teenage snowboard grommet rocking hipster style. Everyone knows teenagers imitate styles, if not outright pilfering the ways and means of those who came before them, but without properly belonging to any particular subculture.

Which, now that I come to think of it, strikes a familiar chord vis-à-vis the tired old chestnut about why people hate hipsters. Fancy that.
