The book is basically a take and satire on hipster culture and wannabe hipsters. It is set up as a series of tests, like those standardized tests you take in schools with tons of questions. That right there may be part of the problem with the book: layout. The layout is often very cramped; the print is very small, so it is not easy to read through. Then again, the book as a whole is not really meant to be read cover to cover. It is better if you just skim the sections you find interesting and go from there. They do try to be pretty comprehensive in terms of looking at everything, or close to everything, a hipster would know or need to know: music, books, television, jobs, clothes, parties, etc. For a book reader and librarian, I did appreciate and find some humor in the book and reading section, but the rest of the book did not really excite me much. Overall, those "in the know" may appreciate this, even if they do so ironically. However, it's just a quick, glance over, disposable kind of book. Borrow this one, don't bother buying it.

An obsessively completist checklist of cool - covering lifestyle, fashion, music, movies, body art, and more. The Indie Cred Testis the ultimate test of hipness. Sixteen chapters and countless sidebars cover musicians, authors, hipsters, hippies, miniature toy poodles, and everything in between. Part pop-culture quiz, part satire, part handbook of all things cool, this fun and fascinating book is The Preppy Handbookmeets The Hipster Handbook, plus massive amounts of (what else?) indie cred. Readers can put their indie cred to the test by answering such questions and prompts as- Explain McSweeney's. Is a bike your primary form of transportation? Is there any kind of T-shirt that can't be worn ironically? Has Courtney Love ever taken a swing at you? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
