Like there's any chance you'll convince a mother that an admitted online hipster is cooler than their own child.

It's kind of telling that you would read that and think of your kid. I don't hate college kids in general, just the douchey entitled ones.

Actually it struck me because the description was so far off from my kid. He drives a 10 year old Malibu (that he rolled) and is currently packing up his room with his girlfriend while listening to CCR on 8 track(!)

Whatever, we all get annoyed. Your version is no worse or better than any other. Sorry about the hipster crack.

So I'm lightyears late on this but Live from New York - An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live is a fantastic book and should be read by absolutely everyone.

Its also the first "oral history" style book I've ever read and I've gotta say, I enjoy the style a lot. I love hearing people's true opinions in the interview form, particularly so that I can independently conclude that Janeane Garofalo is a cancerous bitch of the highest order.

Zero chance a college aged kid listening to an 8-track isn't a hipster.

What are the supposed advantages of 8-track? All I remember about them is that (a) you could potentially have a break right in the middle of a song, and (b) the last two we listened to in our sweet 86 Buick Regal were Chicago XIII and Seals & Crofts' Diamond Girl.

He may just belong in this thread:

When I used to routinely hit up thrift shops and flea markets for eBay there were always tonnes of 8-track tapes available for nothing.

Hey, he could also be a nerd. I have a hs aged cousin who has a laser disc collection, zero percent hipster, 100 percent nerd, I assume the same could be true of 8-tracks. The music aspect of it does lend itself more to the hipster side of the spectrum, I would think though.

I don't think we can grow hipsters on Wisconsin farms, but I suppose I could be wrong.

I guess a kid listening to 8-tracks now is trying to be retro. Tie-dyed shirts and bell bottom jeans to follow. Just hope he doesn't come up w/ an 'Earth Mother' gf.

It's pretty obviously not a universal hatred of college age kids so much as a complaint about a prominent piece of college culture at large universities. Having recently lived in an undergrad neighborhood as a non-undergrad myself, I think ATAT's post is a pretty accurate picture of life among the bros. I think if you saw it on a day to day basis, you probably wouldn't have great feelings about it either.
