Answer: You don’t know?This obsession is insidious. Science has proven that musical taste is a perfectly valid personality indicator, but the hipster persona has boiled it down to a dark, bitter...
...drink some more wine and try to tell a friend that his hipster arm tattoo is going to look ridiculous when he gets older, but I can't type the words correctly and I get stumped on 517-139. I keep forgetting to carry the numbers. "Water and bed for you," says Mail Goggles, but then it lets me try again. And again. My insult succeeds on the third...
