Happy Birthday to our original “viral” meme-type creation, Hipster Bingo
A belated Happy Birthday to Catbirdseat.Org’s very first really-successful internet meme, Hipster Bingo, which actually turned *5* years old last month. Believe it or not, fresh links to this STILL come in many times each week– it actually accounts for a full 25% of Catbirdseat.Org traffic. I know, I know, you’d think I’d have updated Hipster Bingo at some point, to include “beards,” or to replace “ironic trucker cap” with “$50 New Era ‘Fitted,;” but thing is, you gotta know when to let something go. You gotta know when to stop. The last thing in the world I want is to become the Jeff Foxworthy of indie rock (”If TWO-THIRDS of yer outfit comes from American Apparel… you maht be a hipshter!”)
