Hipster Flipster

(I am 23, but I have a niece who is 16. I am taking her to lunch.)

Niece: “Do you like [popular brand of shoes]?”

Me: “I don’t own any, but yeah I like them. I’ve heard they’re really comfortable.”

Niece: “I don’t. They’re so hipster. And hipster is becoming mainstream. And I hate mainstream. I’m like an anti-hipster-hipster.”

Me: “I don’t think that makes sense.”

Niece: “Sure it does!”

(We pass by an intersection with two Americanized Mexican food restaurants.)

Niece: “You know what is a bad place to eat?”

(She names a local authentic Mexican Food restaurant.)

Niece: “It tastes too Mexican.”

Me: “So, let me get this straight. You’re an anti-hipster-hipster who doesn’t like her Mexican food to taste too much like Mexican food?”

Niece: “Exactly! I’m so glad you understand!”
