Labeling

When we talked about hipsters in class, I felt I couldn't contribute. I do not think it is alright to label someone based off actions in a moment of time. Also, this random person that people label probably does not care and I don't understand why people even care to label one another. It just seems like people were trying to insult one another for being themselves. I don't know what to take it as. It just felt wrong hearing it, even if it was without the intention to insult or hurt. I try not to assume qualities of a person that haven't spent at least a day with. This makes me wonder how people label me. It seems in class, if you are a person who doesn't act like me, do the things I do, or like what I like, you’re a hipster. Further, if you're a hipster, you're this species below a group of people that needs to be viewed and classified. I guess I overall confused why people come to this in their lives, labeling. Why does it even matter? I wonder if people who called others hipsters would be offended if they were called the same thing. I would prefer no one be labeled. I just see people being offended and left with a level of discomfort. I've learned to not really listen to the negative opinions that people give me.  I can be called whatever after this I guess but at least I'm not concerning myself with other people's qualities or actions. I like being myself.
