I just got friend requested from "elitist hipster snob" on MySpace. Normally I just deny these spurious requests from bands and porn sites, but the tagline on this profile is, "myspacing ironically since 2007."
Brill.
It's so post-post-modern I may just have to accept them as my friend. They claim to live in Denver and have lots of cool Denvery stuff in their profile (bands & bars mostly), so I don't feel like a complete tool in doing so.
Let's make a democracy out of it: Based on the evidence presented here, who thinks I should accept "elitist hipster snob" as my MySpace friend? Please backup your vote with circumstantial evidence and/or irrational justifications. Thanks for playing.

I would accept because I'll pretty much go along with anything post-modern or anything pretending to be. I also go along with any conspiracy theory and pretty much anything you tell me to do.
Okay, anything. Sigh.
I don't think you should. But you don't sound like you care. It's more like post post-modern apathy than irony.
Dave Eggers said in an interview a few years ago, 'It's nicer to say yes than no,' when confronted with indie hipsters who thought he was selling out in some way. I think he guest edited an issue of Esquire or something.
Anyway, I believe this theory to be true. Isn't it more pleasant to help someone out that not? Don't you usually feel better when you give the change than when you don't? Isn't it nicer to give love than to withhold it?
Isn't it better for your soul to believe in things than to not?
So, as Elliott Smith said 10 years ago, 'Say Yes', Wes. Say Yes.
I <3 you, dirt.
