Recent current events, have led me to believe a very sobering truth: hipsters are taking over the world.

This thesis is supported by a few things:

1. The then little-known Arcade Fire won the Grammy for Album of the Year over popular opinion- Beiber and Eminem. I am happy I am not the only one without Beiber-fever (I just don’t get it).

2. Recent uprisings against “the establishment” in the middle east.

3. A few days ago, I found myself in a room full of frat-stars and sorority girls who have shifted from rocking the short-shorts, Polos, & pearls to skinny jeans and flannel.

4. While it took three years for us to commit to skinny jeans, it only took three weeks for my best friend and I to jump on the leg warmer re-trend.

While I am not completely sure that hipsters have achieved world domination, I am looking for a few more key incidents before I can confirm my thesis:

1. Thrift store prices skyrocket after an endorsement from Michelle Obama, just like J Crew.

2. Big-Boss at work switching from argyle sweater vests to creepy cardigans.

3. High school students knowing who Sufjan Stevens is.

4. Lance Armstrong riding a fixed-speed in the next Tour-de-France. (With the corresponding messenger bag as well)

You cannot say you have not been warned.
