“Tumblr users share a number of recurring gimmicks – love for Nutella, appreciation for artfully decorated cupcakes, floral print dresses, Starbucks beverages, rainy Paris passageways, and celestial landscapes of Helvetica-emblazoned skylines. They display a propensity to reblog film photos from disposable cameras”
“Tumblr users often regard overwhelmingly average nightscapes as breathtaking when photographed by a Polaroid camera. They like their wrists tattooed with infinity symbols and Roman numerals. They want their necks linked with Warhol quotes and bedroom walls plastered with Nylon magazine ad cut-outs.”
HA. true.
You forgot cats.
Yep, that about describes the boring, repetitive hipster base of tumblr (not that some of those things aren’t pretty, but jeezus, if you’re genuinely trying to be individual you’ve already failed, none of those things are the way to go), but there’s also a large pop-culture group that doesn’t run on those things (hi), and a ton of quality individuals that are just that (individual) and it also fails to mention the massive amount of sex related blogs, and all the fandom blogs. So basically, as with most sweeping generalizations, if you pick at the surface just a smidge (or have any knowledge of tumblr beyond one or two quick glances and listening to the haters in this case), it crumbles.
