As some have noted, the ISIS attack targeted the French hipster culture.
They didn't attack the army. Or the police. They attacked the lively hipster heart of Paris. They attacked people who were enjoying life.

“They didn’t attack the army. Or the police. They attacked the lively hipster heart of Paris. They attacked people who were enjoying life.”
So far the hipster culture has responded with a drawing of the Eiffel Tower as peace symbol and the playing of the song Imagine.

Released in 1971, Imagine has long been an iconic but controversial song for it’s statements asking listeners to imagine no religion and no possessions as a means to make the case for people not fighting and killing each other, asking listeners instead to “imagine all the people, living life in peace.”

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld had a message for celebrities tweeting the Eiffel Tower peace symbol:
note to celebrities: stop tweeting sketches of the Eiffel Tower as part of a peace sign. You're idiots.
