Steve from Young Galaxy posted a new note to their Myspace just to let everyone know that the band was still around and has been working on a new album that they hope to release in the new year. Steve also did everyone the favor of pointing the way to an Adbusters article that "had me raising my fist in appreciation". The article is called Hipster: The Dead End of Western Civilization and goes something like: "We’ve reached a point in our civilization where counterculture has mutated into a self-obsessed aesthetic vacuum. So while hipsterdom is the end product of all prior countercultures, it’s been stripped of its subversion and originality."You really should read the whole article. Of course, if you like the article and want more you can still visit the original hipstersareannoying.com and even pick up one of these
Happily they can now be seen fairly regularly on the streets of Toronto.
