Evolution of the Hipster
I can’t decide if humor about hipsters (which I’m not above by any means) is getting as old as the hipsters themselves or not. Either way, this was pretty funny. Found on LaughingSquid:

Speaking of the Hipster Union, it’s now on a t-shirt! American Apparel, of course. If you want girls sizes, they are ONLY available in preorder SALE (only $15), which will run for the next week. Get ’em before they sell out! And by that, I mean to a record label. It’s preorder, I’ll order as many as you guys tell me to. PREORDER HERE »
Oh, and don’t say “hipster-jack” three times in a row. If you don’t get that, don’t worry about it.
The System 449: A Post Modern Union
Ah, the Hipster Union. Came up at my local-owned, all-cute-girl-barista coffee shop this morning. As I sat there in my trendy glasses, with my iPhone and MacBook Pro out, wearing my flannel shirt, thinking about what to do a comic about today. For those proud members, here’s your badge. Wear it with pride.
I think this belongs on a v-neck American Apparel shirt, don’t you?
