current tv needs to chill with the "hipster" obsession

i was flipping channels tonight when i discovered that not only does current tv have a show called "I Heart Hipsters" (please gag me with a taco from a taco truck) but they also have a whole host of hipster-related content on their website (see link below)

hipsters in space? will these tools please give it a rest? and, for that matter, will people ever stop using the word hipster? or at least stop trying to define it constantly by ramming bio-fueled vw busses, air-guitar champs, and sneaker designers down my throat. everyone and their baby is a hipster these days it seems. case in point:

i found this image on a tublr site called (what else?) "Baby Hipsters"



i'm pretty sure this is just a normal baby in spider man pj's on to which some douche (or goofy regular parent with vision problems) put their now ubiquitous black glasses. not sure what qualifies this as hipster but i've already moved on.
