>>851103For me it is the beards, pipes, a dog with a bandanna, that need to video document every detail of something that thousands of people have done throughout history then set it to music so they and everyone else like them can fetishize it.
They are hipsters.
I don't begrudge them doing it or anything and like most everyone else I would love to be in their position. But I always feel like hipsters don't do things because they enjoy the activity itself, they do them as opportunities to self aggrandize, which becomes the object of the whole endeavor. So rather than sail across the globe because they really enjoy it I get the feeling these guys are doing to make a video none of their friends have done before and sailing happened to be what the dart landed on.
