Residing in a crappy dead-end town now, I can understand why the young people who are more artsy or have more ecclectic tastes would want to congregate together, share their interests, have sex, etc. Is the anti-hipster stance really just anti-poseur or anti-snob? Because those are different things entirely.

   1. Were there pedants in Salem?

      BTW, the Salem after which the cigarette brand is named is the one in North Carolina, anyway. (Winston-Salem, actually, but the point remains.)Report

4. I hear the cigarette companies are going to be marketing to dead people and cancer victims soon.Report

5. Hipsters will always smoke American Spirits.Report
