CAN WE CUT IT WITH THE UNICORN-HIPSTER SAGA?

Besides spending countless numbers of hours working extremely hard on fun posts for Amayzine, we have the occasional hysterical convo’s that come up at the office. Today I was asked: “Kiki, can you please write something about all that bullshit about unicorns?” Ask and you shall receive. Thank you for my morning injection of inspiration. You’re right. We need to cut the crap with all those meaningless hipster quotes about unicorns.

On Instagram, Facebook, blogs, vlogs, Pinterest, it’s everywhere you look: the unicorn has and is still making an overdose of appearances. They’re taking over your screen with their overly enthused looking face and pink clouds. I find horses alone to be quite scary, but my worst nightmare would be to wake up with a rainbow spewing unicorn beside my bed.

”Always be yourself, unless you can be a unicorn, then always be a unicorn”

Look, that whole unicorn thing might be cute for 12 year old My Little Pony fanatics, but what’s the need for all those hipsters to be mesmerized by the animal? ‘Always be yourself, unless you can be a unicorn, then always be a unicorn.’ What the hell does this even mean? The animal isn’t even real. And imagine if they were. Do you really think we’d all find them cute and adorable? How fucking creepy would it be if you’ve got one of these animals enthusiastically galloping in your direction with its long and pointy horn on its forehead? I’m telling you: nightmares.

My point? Guys, wake up out of your pastel pink and rainbow enthused dreamworld bubble. A unicorn is a mythical creature. One that has existed for centuries and has been described as nothing more than an animal with a spiral shaped horn on its face. Nothing more and nothing less.
