What is the point of hipsters if not to poke fun of them?

Websites and blogs devoted to poking fun at the hipster culture and style have been running rampant lately. We have all seen Look At This Fucking Hipster that started back in March 2009. It provided me a little amusement, but I soon stopped checking the new pictures.

Then came Unhappy Hipster. This blog focuses in on images that are found in Dwell Magazine. While the designs are minimalistic they provide ample material to create witty and comic taglines.



The debate — whether the ubiquity of suburban neo-modern developments was really an upgrade from new-money McMansions — ended in a standoff, mired by the generation gap.

That has to be one of my favorite entries.

But I have to say, we have found the ultimate hipster blog. Hipster puppies. We have learned that hipsters may be too cool for most things, but they are not above dressing their dogs in their own weird ass clothing. Personally, I feel this blog has some major staying power! Below is one of the newer posts. It reminds me about why, as a driver and pedestrian, I hate bicyclists.
