This Is Why You're Fat and other great single-topic blogs. - By Farhad Manjoo

http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2009/07/hipsters_tempura_burgers_and_pets_who_want_to_kill_themselves.html "Look at this fucking hipster" was a universally recognized gibe before it became a Web site. Anyone who's ever taken a stroll with a friend down Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn or accidentally veered into San Francisco's Mission District on a Saturday afternoon has had occasion to whisper these words. Look at this fucking hipster with the 1985 New England Patriots Super Bowl T-shirt and forearm tattoo of Ralph Nader. Look at that fucking hipster with the butterfly-collar paisley shirt , the sweater vest adorned with what looks like the face of Tony the Tiger, and those tie-dyed shoelaces borrowed from Zack Morris.
