A knit cap was never worn with more disaffected aplomb than as seen here. Bonus accidental Chinese hipster points for sleeping while driving.

PS. NYC writer Wesley Yang has a great article in New York Magazine this month about, among other things, twinkies, bananas, hip Asians, and the “bamboo ceiling”. What do we do when our immigrant parents lack in teaching us successful American social behaviors? I chose to pursue a “career” in the arts and to make fun of old people (so far) on my blog. Sometimes I fear that I’m not reaching my full potential. But then I think about how un-boring my life has been living outside of the Azn Super Achievers fold, and my mental peace is restored. I guess I now also should reflect on the ways in which my cultural background might be subtly affecting my ambitions. Hm.
