social tagging, abbreviations and identity

Today I saw two MGB's walking down the street.

Let's break it down: M= Male G=Gay B=Blipster.

What is a Blipster? A blipster is a black hipster. I did not make this up; last year the New York Times published an article on blipsters in Brooklyn.

I used to think that hipsters were fashionable artists, but the term has evolved to encompass all that is trendy today, now.
Once upon a time, hipsters shopped at thrift stores and played used guitars in moldy basements, but now they just prance around wearing $200 jeans and a brand-new a la mode $100 scarf that will be so out by Fall.
Every city will be experience their version of the hipster implosion in the coming year(s), if not already. It's another fashion trend that already ended. Enough already!
