“One could say, exaggerating only slightly, that the hipster moment did not produce artists, but tattoo artists, who gained an entire generation’s [dermis] as their canvas. It did not produce photographers, but snapshot and party photographers… It did not produce painters, but graphic designers. It did not yield a great literature, but it made good use of fonts. And hipsterism did not make an avant-garde; it made communities of early adopters.” — Mark Greif from What Was The Hipster? (published in New York magazine Oct. 24 2010) November 17, 2010 ← →
