The Hipster's Antonym.

Lately, I have been noticing that I am the opposite of a hipster. 

A hipster is someone who likes something before it's cool, and I am someone who likes something after it is cool.  I guess you could say I start liking things when they stop being cool.

This is not intentional.  I would probalby like cool things before they were cool, or while they were still cool . . . I just never hear about them until it is too late.  Maybe it's because I don't watch television.  Or maybe it's because I am inherently obvlious. 

I don't listen to newly emerging, indie music.
I still listen to Savage Garden.  I'm pretty sure they were cool in 1997.

I am not a vegetarian or vegan.
I tend to eat upwards of three donuts each week.

I don't own a Mac.
My laptop is old enough to be your mom.

I don't have a bike.
But I totally wish I did.

I haven't read the Hunger Games.
But I really want to.  And I saw the movie.

I don't wear vintage clothing.
Unless you count clothes I used to wear in middle school.

You get the point.

I additionally, I found myself "trying" to be cool by typing "what is cool right now?" into Google. 

I'm pretty sure that's the least cool thing a person could do.

This is just an observation.  Feel free to move along with your day.

But, while you're moving along . . . maybe you'd like to go here and check out an interview I did for St. George Weddings.  And, if you get a minute, read this too.  I wrote an article for Alive! Utah on Street Style in Southern Utah.

Okay.  Bye.
