'Hipsters', 'indie kids' et cetera.

I hate the term 'hipster' or anything similar to describe the Bombay bicycle club loving, flannel shirt wearing groups of teenagers. Hipster is a term to define people who are 'different' from the usual. But ridiculous things have become 'indie' things now. How on earth can triangles and nutella be hipster it is chocolaty heaven in a jar and a shape?! what is different and unique about that?
When people are referred to as 'hipsters' because they are apparently so different from the rest of us they are not. They are clones of every other apparent 'hipster'. Wearing a checked shirt done up to the top and a triangle necklace does not make you unique and individual, it makes you more of a clone than the chino wearing chavs which i so despise. 
I don't really know what my point is to this post i just thought i would put out to the world my dislike for any name to stereotype or generalize a group of people.
People are people. Some have boobs, some don't. Some have brown hair, some have blonde hair. There is no such thing as hipsters or emo's. They are just personalities, categorized into a group by some other person.

Umm... so i guess what i'm trying to say, is be yourself, don't care about what other people think of you or name you as. 
Just be. 

Peace out suckers.
