Iconic
Let's sip chai teas
In dark coffee shops
Wear big sun hats
Thicken our faux lens frames
Hike our skirts to our waists
Cut our hair to seem new
But berets made in China
Overdress our hands with rings
Stare clueless for selfies
Download vintage quotes
Wear our water bugs indoors
Quote Breakfast Club songs
But we're not done yet
With our blessed regeneration
Let's throw in some labels
Switch out pacsun for thrift shops
We're not what we want
Photocopies of (not) our past
More crop tops and stolen verses
Too 'mainstream' for your gage covered ears
Let's throw in an illness!
Or some feelings, all the same
Pretend we've got scars
When we're really just good bleeders
A pinch of "trauma"
From our fake faulty pasts
Drowning out sincerity
With well rehearsed tears
Some henna designs
Boots paired with short dresses
Big, bad flower crowns
And alas, we are now "hipsters"
