1. 15 year olds smoking and posting photos of themselves with the cigarette purposely posed in the foreground. This makes me think of that picture I found on tumblr that said "Don't Let Fashion Smoke You". I truly believe that smoking is just a fashion trend set by indie movies about troubled teenagers. I bet if someone attractive started smoking shit (yes, poo.), everyone else would do it. Or if someone thought of how to brew beer out of urine.
2. Art college lecturers that don't want to teach anything because they would be producing more great artists and therefore creating more competition for themselves.
3. Hipsters taking over virtually every 'cool' suburb around Sydney - Paddington, Glebe, Newtown...
Julia and I had this great conversation about this issue last night. Hipsters used to be scene kids. The Scene trend is relatively forgivable now that Hipster has exploded onto the market. The Scene was actually legitimately a teen fad, which we all knew would grow out eventually. But the Hipster age span goes until around early to mid twenties, which is much more unforgivable since, being twenty something, you'd expect to have more sense than that. This also applies to the tweens and middle aged housewives who are obsessed with vampires. We can forgive you for being obsessed with Twilight because we all know that some time before you turn 18 you might be over it already, or else evolved into liking "better" vampire novels and films.
4. It's dawned on me that maybe I have a problem with studying in Sydney. Maybe if I went somewhere else, like Melbourne or even abroad, I'll feel more motivated in my art studies.
