The 5 Stupidest Things In the Hipster Home
Inspirational Text
None of you are lame enough to still have a framed “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster hanging up in your apartment, are you? No, I didn’t think so. You’re not Shoshanna from Girls. There’s something even more insidious, though, about the latest trend of just having any old inspirational text framed and displayed in your apartment. The problem with this hipster home trend isn’t just that it’s ubiquitous, it’s that the quotes that are meant to be “inspirational” are usually just stupid. At least “Keep Calm and Carry On” has some historical relevance, being as its original intention was meant to inspire the British population to, you know, keep calm and carry on should England ever face a ground invasion by the Nazis. Luckily, the need for that poster was never realized, but at least those words are actually inspirational. I mean, I saw one that says, “Work Hard and Be Nice to People.” Who needs to be inspired to do that? Hipsters, that’s who.
