Look at This F*cking Hipster [Paperback]

Joe Mande (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 30, 2010

A hilarious send-up—and ironic celebration—of hipster culture based on the hugely popular website

Look at this Fucking Hipster (LATFH.com) was born in April 2009 as a way to help author Joe Mande help his dad answer the question, "Is that a hipster?"  Months later, with millions of followers and dozens of parodies, it has become a cultural phenomenon, referenced in media, newspapers, blogs, and more.

Look at This Fucking Hipster is a collection of photos, snarky captions and short essays exploring—and, let’s be honest, poking fun at—the wide world of hipster culture, from Williamsburg to Silver Lake and points between.  Chapters cover types of hipsters, celebrity hipsters, hipsters through the ages, hipster love connections, and the next generation of hipsters (AKA hipster babies).

5.0 out of 5 stars Laughing at hipsters, June 29, 2010

This review is from: Look at This F*cking Hipster (Paperback)

This book is absolutely hilarious (as in people on the subway were staring at my attempts not to laugh out loud). Whether you:
are a person who would be what the author describes as a hipster,
display an active hatred of hipsters (you really shouldn't, everyone deserves respect for how they express themselves),
or are like me and find over-the-top stereotypes pretty amusing because they exaggerate the truth
- you'll find this book really funny. Go buy it!

Shut up Joe Atkins. Not liking hipsters is not racism, it is good ol' fashioned American rights. Typical hipster self-aggrandizement.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too short to be worth it, October 1, 2010

By

This review is from: Look at This F*cking Hipster (Paperback)

Its a funny tongue in cheek book about what society views as a "hipster". The problem is that you can find almost everything and more from this book for free on the website that this book spawned from, latfh.com, so there is little value in paying for this book. I thought they would add new content that was not already on the website. It is also really short, spend an hour at the bookstore and you should be able to finish it.
