Who's the new target group we all love to hate?

No, it's not irresponsible, young Hollywood mothers. No, it's not passionately weeping gay men who adore Britney Spears a leetle too much. It's not even die-hard Bush supporters! The new group we all love to hate are hipsters: scene kids and swoopy-haired emo boys and girls with eating disorders and pack-a-day habits.

Why do we love to hate them so? Well, older people don't like them because when they were young and counter-culture, their protests meant something. Hipsters cling to causes like silk to wool but don't ever actually do anything about the causes they care about (online petitions don't count!). Preppy people hate hipsters because hipsters try so hard for that I-don't-care-how-I-look Look and just end up with the same carefully ripped Ironic T-shirts, bad hygiene and an offensive odor. Smart/geeky people hate them because hipsters took genuine geek looks and homogenized them. Average people hate them because hipsters carefully cultivate quirks in an effort to be different (but we can't ALL be Natalie Portman in Garden State). Everyone else hates them because they claim "First!" when it comes to any great new band and lurk around Starbucks in a miasma of pretension.

So, in a tribute to hipster hate everywhere watch this video:

After doing so, you can enjoy a small ego-boost as another minority social group is marginalized by the mainstream. It's what Americans do best. :)
