Insufferably Groovy

Making fun of hipsters is just to easy

It's ten thousand degrees outside

What's with the woolly scarf

You got your two foot Afghan beard 

right out of Ahab's Wharf 

You're wearing grandpa's checkered shirt

and got his baggy jeans

You said you stole them from goodwill 

before it was mainstream 

You talk that vegan talk at me 

A cig between your teeth 

I'm chewing on a Slim Jim box

made out of beaks and feet

That band you said you used to like 

Before they went mainstream 

sound like cats attacking porcupines

My ears need some morphine 

You're into all that's Anime

It's purely Japanese

We kicked their a*s in forty five

and left a fallout breeze 

Go Hook up with a hipster chick 

She fell for your mystique

She's smoking herbal cigarettes 

and smells like hobo feet 

Thought you were a homeless dude

I handed you a buck 

You're just insufferably groovy

and no one gives a f**k

Firstly that photo, laughed out loud.
Then the poem, I love it.
I have an interesting circle of friends this reminded me of, once one of them came out and declared that he was trying to be 'hipster' because he thought it was cool, then the rest of his hipster friends scoffed and gave him s**t for not pretending that he wasn't a hipster even though they all clearly were.
We also have a running joke in Adelaide, when you walk past one of our pubs (The EX) you have to ask yourself looking at the patrons "are they hipster or homeless"?
I will be sharing this poem around with friends, Its fantastic.

You are a master of observation and description. I enjoyed the imagery and smellavision in this one.

Thank you Blue. I appreciate it.

I just read this again and it made me laugh. It doesn't work when you have to try sooo hard:

Go Hook up with a hipster chick
She fell for your mystique
She's smoking herbal cigarettes
and smells like hobo feet

Thought you were a homeless dude
I handed you a buck
You're just insufferably groovy
and no one gives a f**k

again such an entertaining piece... I have met quite a few pretentious people like this... "she's smoking herbal cigarettes and smells like hobo feet"... oh my goodness... yep, got a giggle.. the picture was a great start but the imagery and the sarcasm in this one is killer.. good one:)
