#1220: Hipsters explain
The layout is a chart with a series of plots reaching a stable equilibrium one after another, with the shape characteristic of a predator-prey model. In order, the labels are.
How often I see… Hipsters
–> Complaints about hipsters
–> Complaints about the constant use and discussion of the word “hipster”
–> Complaints that every level of meta-opinion on hipsters represents the same tedious navel-gazing by insecure people
–> graphs making it all worse
–> Now
[The horizontal axis is labeled time. Where the final curve rises is marked ’now’.]
