hawgblawg: back on the kufiyaspotting tip: "Hipster: The Dead End of Western Civilization"<\/a><\/div>\nted swedenburg on the hipster-kufiya connection, w\/ a sharp critique of that adbusters piece: "I'm not sure that the kufiya hipster signifies the end of Western civ either. Hipsters or bohos or whatever you want to call them were wearing kufiyas for style reasons back in the early to mid-eighties. And hip youth culture as now being about 'consuming cool rather that creating it' (Haddow)–this isn't particularly new either. It's all well and good to critique hipsters wearing uniforms, not knowing the provenance or politics of their kufiya gear, and fooling themselves about the subversiveness of their style and attitude. But it's not the end of the world."<\/div>\n(tags: hipster<\/a> eschatology<\/a> kufiya<\/a> critique<\/a> journalism<\/a> blogpost<\/a> middleeast<\/a> US<\/a> fashion<\/a> westernciv<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n- \n
