Hipster Trends I Dislike (part 1)
I find myself rambling and ranting in my head when I spot certain things. You're welcome to agree or agree to disagree!
1. FILTER OVERLOAD ON INSTAGRAM
Instagram is an iPhone app that allows you to put filters on the photos you take via iPhone/Android camera. It can create a soft, artsy tone, or some other look (honestly, I'm unsure of the other filters because I only see people use this one).
Artistic photos are great, but an abundant amount of anything makes it mainstream; it's taking the unique, artistic feel out of photos, since it's becoming such a normal addition. The most bothersome combonation is using a blue-ish filter with food images. It makes the food look so unappetizing, eww! It makes the food look super stale and cold.
Instagram is potentially a nice app, but it just shouldn't be used when there's no benefit to the photo. It should be used sparingly.
2. MIXED GREENS SALAD
I actually do like mixed greens- it's just used everywhere! EVERYWHERE! I enjoy the flavors it can bring to a dish, and it does look more appealing. However, this is hands down the most frustrating salad to eat with a fork, especially at a restaurant because you can't just ask for chopsticks instead.
SIKE! That fork's just there for decoration...and maybe to pick up the walnuts.
I'll stick to romaine lettuce at restaurants, thanks!
(This is named "part 1" because I'm sure there will be other annoying hipster-like things, lol).
