The Ironic Hipster Moustache Lament

In case you've been living underneath a rock or tree somewhere far, far out in the wilderness, say, in the nest of a giant mythical bird perched on the side of a sheer rock face, it is my duty to inform you that:

a) You probably have bigger things you should be attending to than reading this here bloggy post.
b) Moustaches are IN.

Now, mind you, not necessarily in one your face. At all, really. In fact, I have never seen someone with a moustache without an accompanying descriptor describing their various "creepy" qualities.

However, moustaches not on your face are so hip.

Examine:

Behold! Moustache socks:
























(Hot Topic) (Unfortunately)

Of course, for added hipster irony, you can place a moustache on top of the part of your face where one would actually go, but that you would never grow because you're not That Guy:



















(American Apparel)

For even more hipster irony, try being a girl!



































(Peter Ibruegger)

Or...huh. Okay:














(Here, where apparently this is considered profitable)

Actually, I might have been wrong about the moustache thing. Does it actually seem to you as though moustaches are on their way out? Overdone? No longer the glory days of the hilarious moustache finger tattoo a la this ferocious kitten?

Oh, wait, those moustache socks are from Hot Topic. It appears as though I have answered my own question.

Goodbye, ironic and adorable moustache! Have fun chillin' in the gutter with the octopi, pirates, whales with oversized eyes, and cartoonish panda bears. See you next time.
