Hipster Myth

The widely-held suspicion that hipsters either do not actually exist or are simply not nearly as numerous as we are led to believe. Based solely on the content of internet forums, blogs, humor websites, and even some mainstream media, one would think that hipsters are everywhere, when that is clearly not the case.

However, ask yourself this: Have you ever, in your entire life, met someone wearing thrift store clothing, drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon, telling you that they listen to terrible music ironically and that everything is too mainstream?

I didn't think so.
Joey: I just read yet another joke on Reddit about hipsters who do everything ironically, wear weird clothes, and only like music recommended by Pitchfork.

Thomas: It's not just Reddit obviously. There are tens of thousands of memes making fun of hipsters and nearly every website and forum has spent a lot of time making fun of them.

Me: Now that you mention it, have either of you ever met a hipster?

Joey: Well, I've seen some people drinking Pabst, and I know one guy who only likes indy music...

Thomas: I know some people who wear skinny jeans and I've met a guy who used the word "ironically incorrectly...

Me: But you've never met anyone who shares more than one or two of those hipster traits? You've never met anyone who you would actually describe as a hipster?

Thomas: I don't think I have...

Joey: I've only really seen hipsters described online or made fun of. I've never actually seen someone who fits the description in real life.

Me: Gentlemen, I think we've discovered the Hipster Myth.

white lighter myth

The real history to the white lighter myth and why they are unlucky is based on four famous and revolutionary musicians of the second half of the 20th century. Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrex, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain were all left-handed, all died at the age of 27, and all their autopsies reported that a white bic lighter was found in their pockets. This is why it is said that white lighters are unlucky. So if you are 27 and left-handed, don’t use a white bic lighter, you will die.
Some people really flip out when there is white lighter in the room.

The white lighter myth is often related to smoking marijuana with a white bic lighter.
