You heard it here first. I am officially taking the Lord of The Rings from the nerds and giving it back to the hipsters. After all, the The Trilogy was published in 1954-1955, when the Beat movement was beginning; and everybody knows the Beats were nothing but early modern hipsters. The Lord of the Rings is a very, very important part of popular culture, which, as a “hipster” we, therefore, must know about, because:
The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and those who are going to read them.
-Somebody Somewhere
So I have compiled a short list of reasons why I feel this is justified.
-All of the hobbits only wear those all-linen get-ups that were obvi bought at the local Shire Goodwill.
-Fuck backpacks- hobbits only use canvas knapsacks.
-They only eat fair-trade and dare I say, artisanal, Lembas bread.
-Everybody is always bragging about their one-of-a-kind vintage jewelry.
-Frodo is such a hipster, he doesn’t own a car OR a bike, he just rides Sam everywhere:
“Save a horse, ride a Samwise”
This really really cool person named Noelle Stevenson started “The Broship of the Rings” which is a cartoon blog where all of the Lord of The Rings characters have had a hipster-makeover.
See? I did it without even one Frodo-meme.
Ok just one:
Precious.

At some point in your life you’re going to think back on this and go “Wow, I’m a really shitty person, no wonder why I can’t get laid.” Until then, have fun being 11 and a half.
