White Hipsters Are Moving Into Townships Now

The mighty hipster is conquering the world one new trend at a time. I wonder how quickly this one will catch on...

Hipsters rejoice – you can now be even more hipster. But remember, you will not be the first hipster to do this.

It is common knowledge that hipsters are always the first to do something. Only one hipster had the first top knot. Only one hipster wore the first tweed jacket. Only one hipster heard that song for the first time. It took one hipster to move into Woodstock and bring his Boston Terrier to the Woodstock Exchange for breakfast, and then another followed, and then suddenly it was the ‘burb of choice. Bang! Just like that.

Sadly, hipsters, the time has come. You can all officially stop trying to out-hipster one another, because you have all been beaten.

What did this marvel do?

Why, he moved into the Du Noon/Dunoon township, just outside of Cape Town.

Yeah, you know he’s won. He can basically be crowned  hipster king. Do you guys have one of those?

27-year old Howard James Fyvie has made the move from Woodstock (was he the first one here??) to a house in the townships. Don’t worry, he isn’t in a shack. It’s a concrete and brick house which he is sharing with his two new buddies, Johan and Lovemore (?).
Thankfully, Howie isn’t just doing this for himself. He is part of an exciting movement called My Dunoon, an NGO started by locals in Dunoon to bring change to the area.
I guess now we can just wait for him to start a new ‘tache trend or swap his car out for a bicycle.
I quite like this one…
