Hipsters are zombies of the Self.

They recognize that the society which says so emphatically "be yourself!" has become that society in which being yourself is an impossibility.
So they appropriate the clothes and styles, the Self, of the past in ironic imitation to spite themselves for having achieved no self of their own.

They must always be conscious of the threat of the "mainstream", and that if they ever let one style solidify into mainstreamity they'll have officially ceased to be themselves and have become at once another bland conformist.
So they know that they can never be themselves sincerely, having always to kill the possibility of being themselves right before they achieve it. They mock themselves for trying to be themselves, they mock bitterly that young and hopeful wish they long have abandoned to be oneself.

"I'm not a Hipster", says the Hipster, who really isn't anything.

Is there anything this man can't do?

/lit/, I can't remember the name of a certain relatively obscure (I think) German writer. Having only seen pictures of a few pages of one of his books, I remember it looked chaotic and experimental, switching language in mid-sentence and dividing midsections of words with division bars so that they could be read two ways (i.e. "I was very much looking forward to her p(art/uss)y").
Anyone know?

So if I'm to understand the direction this thread has taken. Tao Lin is _the white male_ author of our time?

Tao Lin, Worth reading or not? i read some of his poetry and its pretty ok/weird

This guy ain't worth shit, but the great Tao Lin is worth all the rubles in the world.

thanks guys— i guess i'll stop writing forever
