Hipster or just being a twat…
Name and shame GC. I suspect it was either Playboy or - more likely - Felg.

There are a few around, but I'm sure they have been sporting them since well before the hipster 'movement' got underway. There's a certain moto riding, magazine / radio station / website owning chap who comes to mind.

Maybe they are photojournalists:
The first reason for photojournalists wearing scarves is that these instantly and with certainty identifies you as a PHOTOJOURNALIST, and removes you from the pool of suckers known simply as "photographers", especially "art" photographers.
The second reason photojournalists love scarves (especially those of ethnic origin) is that it tells non-photojournalists know that we are exotic, and that we do exotic, non 9 to 5, non traditional type things.
The third reason is that wearing the ethnic scarf will make other people instantly assume the photojournalist has a deep connection with, has spent time living with, has created a powerful but yet unseen photographic essay about, the ethnic group that wears that particular scarf.
The most popular, but lacking in credibility is the Keffiyeh. It has become stylish, fashionable, and carries with it a strong hint of activism. It's out of favor except for newbies. It's one thing to wear it around the neck...which is barely passable, and quite another having your picture wearing it as a turban (think Yasir Arafat) on your website bio or Facebook page...this signals the world you're a miserable ass...and that you're prematurely bald.
The second type of scarf is the Cambodian Krama. This particular scarf shows you have worked in the conflict ridden regions of Cambodia (also known as Angkor Wat), and most probably Thailand's southern beach wars as well, and that you suffered from malaria and bouts of sunburn, and dangerous girls on the battlefields of Koh Samui.
The third is the African scarf- the Tagelmust. Worn by Tuareg nomads in the Sahara, these scarves are worn by the old school of photojournalists- those who have covered the north African conflicts, tragedies like Darfur, the Western Sahara, the Polisario, Algeria, even Southern Sudan! This is the Ferrari of scarves.

My posts are just jokes, maybe they're rude, offensive, and politically incorrect. They're not my opinion, viewpoint, idea, or judgement, but they're just fucking jokes so lighten up.

People consumed by "hipster" bashing are by far more annoying than the people they feel the need to put down, gossipping about other's clothes like a pack of teenage girls. Anything to be one of the group-think in-crowd.

I have a green, white and black weave Krama purchased from an old woman near Preah Vihear six years ago.
I don't wear it very often, but it has come handy for wiping stuff up, as a loincloth, a baby sling, a floor cleaning rag, beer can cleaner and sometimes to save my neck from sunburn while out on the bikes.

^And all perfectly good uses for a Krama Jackal. Wearing one at a book launch, café, business meeting, or the ultimate offence, at Kandal House is not fucking acceptable. Period!

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

This view has some merit. Most of the hipster bashers here tend to be bearded craft-beer and cocktail drinkers themselves. At least one of the most fervent hipster haters here is regularly to be seen riding around town sporting a manbag. A FUCKING MANBAG.
