'Hip' writers making use of 'hipster'

Few things cause my eyes to roll back into my head like reading the word "hipster". Nobody uses this word in speech, and only stupid writing makes use of it. Its use is a dead giveaway that the writer wants us to think he's writing a cool, groovy story about cool, groovy youths, when he is really trying to convince us that he, the writer, is cool and groovy.

A search for "hipster" returned no less than 1,208 stories at The New York Times, and each, to a story, is dumb. Check out these excerpts:

The persona behind Mr. Murphy’s free-form singing is his theatrical incarnation of a late-’50s-to-early-’60s hipster who stubbornly goes his own way. [I can't think of a better way to tell the world a singer is a dumbass.]

When this jazz legend barks out “I Got Rhythm,” she turns this great Gershwin standard into a hipster’s credo. [Only a hipster would have a credo.]

...Amanda Blank, a nasty-mouthed M.C. from Philadelphia who is associated with the hipster male hip-hopper Spank Rock...

She is drawn to hipster clothing brands like Preen and Comme des Garçons... [What a moron.]

A few gun lockers remain, but now the place is just another hipster hangout. [This one is interesting. 'Hipster hangouts' are so common they're not even hip! So it must follow that the writer is hip for pointing it out!]

People who use "hipster" in writing are low forms of life, although not quite as low as movie critics. Perhaps worse than people who use the word are hipsters themselves, who Merriam Webster define as "a person who is unusually aware of and interested in new and unconventional patterns (as in jazz or fashion)." I'd like to get through the rest of my life without meeting anyone who is unusually aware of or interested in any unconventional patterns.
