Here Are All The Ways You're A Hipster And Just Need To Stop
Ever get the feeling there's a certain type of commercial that is just getting recycled over and over? Feel like that commercial is targeting hipsters and millennials and encouraging their waifish lifestyles? So do Steve and Peggy, and they brilliantly parody hipsters and the way they're marketed to in this commercial.
If you've ever seen one, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about–the commercials that target all young folks as one giant group of hipsters, and imply that all people are unique. At least as long as they're wearing suspenders, doing performance art, baking or have enormous beards.
While the parody commercial does sufficiently mock hipsters, it's more targeted at the people making the ads, who show all millennials as "creative free spirits" with their heads up their asses. Okay, maybe the "heads up their asses" part is only implied.
Nope, it's a parody. And a pretty damn funny one at that.
Pretty much everyone in the video looks like this guy. The point being: if your sense of looking unique is looking just like everyone else who's "unique," you might not know what that word means.
But once again, I get the sense the parody commercial is more aimed at the out-of-touch ad execs who think all young people do is spin records in their backwards hats and ironically ugly shirts.
Nothing says hipster like a ukulele.
That ad is some pretty decent satire and parody, and it's guaranteed to offend a whole lot of people. But that's how you know it's good.
