lame with a cape

categorization, an amateur's guide to identifying types in the city
part 1

*hipsters & scenesters
my definition would pale in comparison to any of the ones found at urban dictionary. these two could be broken into 2 groups, by why waste an unnecessary amount of time here? in general, a group whose identity is defined primarily by the fact that they are NOT, i repeat NOT a group, they are too non-conformist for that. my favorite definition:

listens to bands that you have never heard of. has hairstyle that can only be described as complicated...definitely cooler than you...often complains. always denies being a hipster. hates the word...claims to be in a band... always on the list...name-drops...takes photos of self in mirror, in car, in sunglasses, from above, of boobs, of hips, of feet, of self drinking alcohol, of self making kissy face, of self looking like a hyperactive toddler, of self doing illegal things, of self passed out, of self and friends joined at the head and making faces..best website to better understand scenesters& their copious varieties...actually, just a great place to waste time & laugh..your scene sucks. enjoy

ok, folks. i'm over this concept of type-casting "types". best advice? don't date a type, anyone who clearly fits into any of the above categories...it's a world of nail-biting agitation.

(music that inspired this casting call? new young pony club- now you know everything. goodnight & beware of lame with a cape, which lies waiting for you, around every corner.)
