Hello hipsters and
hipster lovers (or not) out there.
With this first post we officially inaugurate our concerted efforts in analyzing, dissecting and understanding all things hipster-related. We must confess that the festival itself is still very nascent but it is our hope that through our research and with your help and contributions we can conceptualize the ideal festival and turn theory to practice by having an awesome time and a great party in the trendy city of Berlin.
According to many, Berlin is currently the de-facto hipster capital of the world. So naturally basing it here seems like the right fit. However the term hipster gets bandied about loosely and with so many connotations that not everyone who mentions the word hipster could possibly be inferring the same meaning. As such we shall also be delving deeper into the topic of hipsterdom and trying to define it.
We must admit to not
being hipsters as the Twitterati and popular media seems to define them but
more curious journalistic types that find the definition to be more blurry.
After one look at it and it quickly becomes clear that a large number of people
who would not consider themselves hipsters might very well be. One of the goals
of this blog would be to provide a more substantial insight than a lot of the
trivial, and sometimes vacuous, nature the subject of hipsters gets treated
online.
As for the nature of the festival it will be
defined by our interaction with you. We hope you enjoy coming along with us for
this journey in creating what will be a very fun event in a fun city.
