"I'll take a redneck over a hipster any old day," I told him after checking out his brand new trucker hat and unmatching striped socks,"but checking out your clothes, you've given both a bad name."

There is a fine line, these days, between hipsterisms and good ole boy fashions.
dig the trucker hats, a long time fashion no-no to anyone calling themselves hip.

today, hot young types from Hollywood to Soho wear it out like it were a new belt.
A new white belt, mind you. There are stores dedicated to this "low-brow" fashion on Haight Street, selling high priced trucker hats and AC/DC Krokus Motley Crue concert tees and why?

because being down, beat, street or otherwise wise to the rougher hues of life is cool. and being cool is really what you want, now isn't it?

It's also cool to express hipster irony. It's funny that a concert tee from this band is obviously out of fashion. it's kitschiness and self-deprecating all at the same time. A hipster's wet dream.


"rednecks are racist," he said

"so are hipsters."

"rednecks are totally lame"

"dude, you are lame."
