With the ubiquity of digital cameras and their integration into mobile phones, it has become extremely easy to snap a picture of something or someone that grabs your attention when you’re out in the streets.
And while some blogs have become famous for posting snaps of cool and interesting fashionistas on the street, ‘Look at This F*cking Hipster’ is a blog that features those with a rather questionable sense of style.
The featured images come with captions such as, “This is what a retarded chicken looks like,” and “Someone told me there’s going to be a rodeo over at Barcade tonight.”
Readers can also send in their snaps or video of fashion disasters who think they are hip.
