What is hipster?

[firecat]

There is a company that sells printed magnetic sheets the size of your whole refrigerator*. This one depicts 35mm cameras, Converse basketball shoes, round glasses, something that looks like a cassette tape, and something else I can't parse. This particular magnet is called "hipsters set."

I thought I had an idea of what hipster is. But this makes me think that hipster is nostalgia for the 70s, and that's not what I thought it was.

*If you ask me, that takes all the fun out of refrigerator magnets.

If the tape got creased, it could just be curling back in on itself (I certainly saw that happen a time or three), but it'll definitely be a weak point and at risk for breakage. Time to pick up a new copy. ;-)

But try to play it one more time for kicks and giggles, because it might have weird backward or wah-wah effects.
