About
Hipster Mermaid is an image macro series featuring a screenshot of Ariel from Disney’s Little Mermaid and a superimposed caption poking fun at hipsterisms, in similar vein to Hipster Kitty.
Origin
Braden Graeber is credited as the creator of Hipster Mermaid on the F Yeah Hipster Ariel Tumblr:
Hi, my name’s Braden. A little over a week ago. I photoshopped raybans on ariel and posted it as my facebook profile picture (I have red hair and wear raybans) and onto my tumblr. I posted a few more versions with all-caps helvetica captions. The rest is meme history…
Anyways, I love your blog and how she’s gone viral. If you could post a link to hipster ariel’s twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/HipsterMermaid
or her facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Little-Hipster-Mermaid/130990700300218?ref=ts
I’d really appreciate it.
