Lately I have come to realize that Laramie is too small to actually sustain a legit cool population. The lack of bands, art scene, club scene, general things to do isn't to blame either. The lack of a coherent "cool" population is due to a self mutilating quality, which occurs when people don't have enough to do. Rather than work towards making Laramie more interesting, most of the brightest are stagnantly squabbling at the "hip" coffee shop (cough *coal creek*) or out posing each other at Front Street (maybe the Ranger, maybe). In bigger places kids just have more to do, they can spread out, frequent more than one coffee shop. More than that though, people just have more interesting things to squabble about.
laramie's hipsters are less about community and more about showing one another up.
ReplyDeleteIt is really sad. I feel like everyone is so insecure that they fad jump like crazy and then act like exclusive behavior is the way to be cool. So sad really
ReplyDeletebeing aloof doesn't make you cool. but that's for them to figure out eventually, not for us to teach them.
ReplyDeletewow.. um yep.
