This article talks about the many different characteristics and objects that essentially define the hipster subculture. The author talks about the everyday styles and trends that those known as hipsters follow, such as, "In the morning when I wake up, I’ll put on a pair of skinny jeans and a Sonics t-shirt—but then when it’s time to go out, I’ll ironically slap on a pair of runners, some blue jeans, and a no-name golf shirt I ironically bought at Target." The article tells a story of the accessories that characterize a hipster, which can relate to how Dayna Tortorici defines the "hipster feminine" in her article "You Know It When You See It". Tortorici uses objects and hipster tendencies in her article just like Jacob Pacey does in his. These two can be paralleled because of the mainstream characterization of the hipster that both articles present with their description of objects.
The satire in this article is so thick that I almost couldn't really read it, but some how I managed. I think this article relates a lot to Wampole where all it takes is the irony of a situation to make one think they're a hipster. That is what the author's definition of a hipster would be. To him the objects don't matter, instead it's the ironic attitude toward them.
