Response to Adam's Hipster Blog

I like how he explains what a hipster is and where they come from especially because I'm not to familiar with a hipster lifestyle. My cousin, Billy, is the closest thing too a hipster that I know and the fact that he lives with me makes it interesting (because we live two very different lifestyles). my cousin is the closest thing to a brother that I have, in fact we're so close i do consider him my brother. Billy introduces me to the things that Adam had mentioned in his Blog all of the time. Like different kinds of music, clothing, attitudes, moralistic and personal views, movies or plays and other many other things (even "American Spirit" cigarettes). I wouldn't consider my cousin a full-blown hipster but he definitely lives the lifestyle a bit and to tell the truth, I like it. I mean I wouldn't consider myself a hipster because i like to be unique and have my own style, but it definitely is interesting. Adam also mentioned that hipsters may be considered nerds from time to time. When it comes down to it, anyone who is passionate about something and wants to surround themself with the same thing, than yes, that person is a nerd for doing what they love and wanting to do it all the time. But when you think about a stereotypical nerd, than hipsters dont really fit the description. Just because hipsters like to relax, listen to different types of music than everyone else, dress differently (flashy) and like to do their own thing doesnt necessarily make them a nerd at all.
