Static Statements

A friend of mine recently posted an article on Facebook detailing the intricate frailties and dangers posed by "hipsters". I've been traversing the web as of late out of inspiration, looking for "static statements" -- statements that used to have valor and a true message, but which have since turned into basic fashion trends, meaningless eye candy, forgotten words.

I found a lot of hooplah about the keffiyeh, a traditional head scarf worn by Arab men. Read the basic of the basics: the wikipedia article, just to get an idea of Western appropriation and the ignorant loss of meaning. It's nobody's fault, really . . . but nobody seems to truly fix these debacles, either.
