[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are seeing the transition of the "Hipster" -- which Prince represents -- into sameness.  Relax, it happens to the best of us, of every era:  the beatnik, the original hippie, punk, goth, glam, 90's raver...now we're seeing the D.C. gentrifiers wake up into their midlife crises.  I'm simply glad, thank god, to recognize the beginning of the death knell of skinny jeans, skinny ties, and very much hopefully the Paul Bunyan beards.  Beards can't go outta style fast enough.[/quote]
This! Also, down with the plaid shirts, Harry Potter glasses and Fedoras. Oh, let's not forget lop-sided men's haircuts with one side shaved.[/quote]
You're forgetting how the world works.  For every 30-something who moves out of Petworth to get better schools and less crime for his children, there is another 20-something who moves in.  Whatever appearance fad those 20-somethings adopt will be the next thing you hate.  If you want to lessen the hate, you need to adjust your own attitude, and not wait for the world to adjust for you.

And FWIW, here is a picture of the PoP from 2009.  I'm not a follower of the blog, but he really doesn't look anything like the ridiculous caricature you're trying to draw.  In fact, he looks like a pretty normal guy who you might see living in Tenleytown or Cleveland Park.
