Hypebeast?

     Hypebeast is a term that is very loosely thrown around and usually used very incorrectly. Hype is usually associated with more high end, limited items. Things such as Louis Vuitton, Supreme, Nike SB (Quickstrike's), Yeezy's, Ambush Pow Chains, Snapbacks (Ti$a), along with many other things are considered "hyped" products. I personally think that people who label others as hypebeasts are either jealous or hypebeasts themselves.

     For the most part "hypebeasts" can justify themselves beasting on the hype. Items that are good looking and cool are naturally more sought after and hyped. But the reason I'm blogging about this topic is not to help defend the average, victimized, so called hypebeast. The reason I'm blogging about hypebeasts is to expose undercover hypebeasts. I am not sure why some people don't consider themselves hypebeasts because they are hyping about OG Jordans or PE's. I think OG's and PE's are the dumbest shit ever, but I'm going to get into that in another post. Everything is essentially hyped up. So thinking any product is cool can cause to to be called a hypebeast. Call me a hypebeast because my favorite shoe is the Black Cement III's, and that's a popular colorway. In the end of the day, things that look good and things that people like are going to be hyped. So that can justify hype for just about any product.
  
     But, there are some individuals that hop on hyped up trends just to fit into a particular group or follow their favorite rappers. They are just called posers. I'll get into that one another time as well.
The moral of this story is if you're calling someone a hypebeast, shut the fuck up becuase you're probably one too.
