Abashed

After watching all the little Ned Kelly’s in Surry Hills for a couple of years I belatedly discover that they are Brooklyn Hipsters.

Just about every barista and waiter sports a long beard, short hair, black horn rimmed glasses, tight jeans usually rolled up at the bottom and worn slightly low, with individualism expressed through the personal choice of vintage shirts or T’s. They mostly commute via single speed pushies.

According to the Americans this movement started in Brooklyn. Maybe it did but these days there are enough people everywhere for most to believe that they are at the epicenter of all things cultural.

I suppose that for our hipsters it just doesn’t matter which pack they follow or where the movement came from. They are predisposed to conform anyway so they would not be embarrassed by not being at the center of their own universe.
