NY Times Columnist: Death To "Hipsters" (And Irony)
“Today the New York Times published an important piece of service journalism entitled “How to Live Without Irony.” Author Christy Wampole channels Bill Cosby and Jonathan Edwards to deliver an 1,800-word salvo against “Hipsters” and the perils of this damnable “age of Deep Irony” in which we currently live. The article raises many historical, etymological, and epistemological questions—questions that we will leave to parties who are better qualified to parse them. We’ll just share the parts that made us spew Crystal Pepsi all over our bespoke weed grinder carved in the shape of John Oates’ face”

while I agree the author of the original article generalizes the whole hipster thing, I don’t think whoever wrote the response at The Gothamist really understood the point of proposing a “life without irony.”
