here is EXACTLY what is effing wrong with the world

scene-sters (some call them hipsters, i prefer the scene-sters moniker. hipsters is too good a word. they're FAR from hip. FAR FAR FAR. they ruin EVERYTHING.)

that's what's wrong

don't effing make trends out of someone elses lifestyle or foods or clothing or body art. you're JUST NOT THAT FUCKING COOL. oh i don't laugh at you behind your back. i'm laughing at you RIGHT in your faces (with your slightly unwashed disheveled hairdos)

here is but ONE example of what they do:
Crack It, Sip It, Then Tote It

THE odd whitish spheres resting in a tray of ice outside a bodega on Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn were strange enough to make passers-by do a double take.

Like banh mi sandwiches and sriracha chili sauce, the young coconut and its juice is the latest formerly humble food to be discovered by New York City’s style set, and elevated — if not quite to the level of a status symbol — at least to that of a prized accessory.
