Hair New Era

I’ve been a fan of the site for a while now so I really liked their idea of turning their blog posts into printed posters. I had a look at the first bunch of them and already found a load that should be hanging on my walls because they describe me exactly. So it seems I’m a completely predictable hipster-ish white person, who’d have thought, right?

I'll leave with a few wise words from Stuff White People Like:

On why you should say your favourite artist is Banksy:

Here’s how it works: if you say your favorite artist is Vincent Van Gogh, MC Escher or Monet, you will appear as though your taste in art is derived entirely from college posters. This is unacceptable. Conversely, if you list Jeff Koons, Laurie Anderson, Damien Hirst or Basquiat, you’ll look like you are trying too hard but don’t really know what you are talking about. Chances are that white people will assume your art education consists entirely of documentaries, bio pics, and looking up references from Gossip Girl on Wikipedia.

On how to use how much white people hate Ed Hardy to your advantage:

For example, if you take the reasonable but not compelling story: "I got cut off in traffic this morning and when I honked the guy gave me the finger," and replace it with: "I got cut off in traffic this morning by this guy in an Ed Hardy shirt. I honked and then he gave me the finger!" The story will become sixty percent more interesting to white people because it allows them to make a witty response like: "I guess that douche bag had to get to a UFC party or a nightclub event he was promoting." Follow this up with a laugh, a high five, and a compliment about the acceptable shirt the white person is wearing and you will find yourself with a new friend.

On how white people can prove that they are are more progressive and tolerant than their friends by going to a gay club:

"This guy/girl hit on me, I said I was ‘straight but not narrow,’ and it was totally chill. Oh, you went to an Irish bar this weekend? That’s cool, I guess."
