A hilarious send-up--and ironic celebration--of hipster culture based on the hugely popular website Look at this Fucking Hipster (LATFH.com) was born in April 2009 as a way to help author Joe Mande help his dad answer the question, "Is that a hipster?" Months later, with millions of followers and dozens of parodies, it has become a cultural phenomenon, referenced in media, newspapers, blogs, and more. Look at This Fucking Hipster is a collection of photos, snarky captions and short essays exploring--and, let's be honest, poking fun at--the wide world of hipster culture, from Williamsburg to Silver Lake and points between. Chapters cover types of hipsters, celebrity hipsters, hipsters through the ages, hipster love connections, and the next generation of hipsters (AKA hipster babies).
This book is absolutely hilarious (as in people on the subway were staring at my attempts not to laugh out loud). Whether you: are a person who would be what the author describes as a hipster, display an active hatred of hipsters (you really shouldn't, everyone deserves respect for how they express themselves), or are like me and find over-the-top stereotypes pretty amusing because they exaggerate the truth - you'll find this book really funny. Go buy it!
