A quirky look at my personal unhip top 50: including Gilbert O’Sullivan, Morris Dancing, Umbrellas, Sanitary Towels (with wings), and the colour beige
Have you ever worried about not being quite hip enough? Or maybe you are one of those who flaunts your unhipness with abandon. Either way, The Little Unhip Guide is for you. Although it charts my own personal unhip top 50 with the likes of Gilbert O’Sullivan, Morris Dancing, Umbrellas, Sanitary Towels (with wings), and the colour beige to name but a few, I picked those characters, characteristics, attributes or material objects with a universally unhip feeling to them. Each is given an unhip rating up to five for you to keep a count of your own unhip rating, and some sections include a few personal anecdotes. There is also a ‘bubbling under’ list for a further 12 unhip things not quite making the top 50.
This book carries a warning: some readers may seriously dent their coolness if caught reading this material!
