I’m a sorry excuse of an individual. Back in the day, my dog and I used to bark at those hipsters with their complete lack of understanding of irony. Slim Shady would bark “get out of that garden you hippy” and I would shout “the music I like is good. Just because I like it doesn’t mean you have to dislike it, you hippy”.

I know Don Don’s but it has to stop. I have a reputation to uphold!
It’s the new nostalgic rage – bringing back the 80’s
I have to stop being so kind to the hipsters, damn you nostalgic 80’s!
I used to take my manual typewriter to my job as a security guard. But first, being a security guard probably removes the hipster angle, and second, they didn’t have laptops back then.
That sir, is dedication.
Actually, it was more like desperation — to sell writing so I could stop being a security guard. Instead, I got a higher paying job in a factory where I couldn’t use a typewriter at all … big mistake.
