Greetings fellow hipsters, this post will be quite a morsel more substantial than my impulse post about hipster stereotype videos. Have you aver listened to a new band, worn a different type of clothing, or kept an odd animal as a pet and weeks later you find all of your peers attempting the same feat that you have? if so, i feel miserable for you and hope your depression diffuses. However reluctant you were you were and are and forever will be a one time trend setter.
I like to split trend setters into two basic groups, intentional trendsetters, and unintentional trendsetters.
An unintentional trend setter attempts to do something new and different and finds that every one is trying to mimic how different you are, making what you did the same as what others are doing and you are no longer one in a million, but one of a million. A relatively famous example of this, (not saying i encourage famous things or people) were the Russian urban climbers who climbed a radio tower and performed precarious stunts atop it, and late uploaded video of their feat to you tube. Weeks later, another video arose of a group of teenagers on the withering heights of the same tower, and weeks later many video has arisen and many injuries and casualties had occurred.
Nothing good can come from trends, besides those who don't succumb to them.
Those unintentional trend setters could be hipster, but the variables are to great, the trend could have been an accident and also the causing on the trending item could as well been inadvertent. The first potato chip was an accident, now lets see how much potato chip have influenced society, and obesity. If you are under twelve and have a sense of humor that is easy to please and you are interested in voodoo and potato chips, i suggest you read leon and the champion chip as it appeals to those who fit in those categories.
Intentional trend setters are too starved for attention for me to talk about.
Salutations,
Pablo y Nate
