I got a bunch of hits from this Chicago Craigslist post. This person softens up their hipster hate a bit but you can tell he/she cannot figure out how a massive amount of adults act the way they do. I know that we here in Brooklyn/NYC probably suffer the most throughout the country but a lot of other big cities are also suffering.

Allow me to paint a picture. They’re just a bunch of kids (some way too old) whose parents either never paid them any attention or, more than likely, just the opposite. They’re parents never told them that they did anything wrong. You know … the kind of kid who would shit in his hand (at like age 9) and show his mommy. Mommy’s reply would be “That’s beautiful” then she would keep it in tupperware until Dad came home. Then both parents would cry at how proud they were of the kid.
Contrary to what they would like people to believe, they are not:
1) Creative
2) Deranged
3) Politically aware
4) Intimidating
5) Artistic
6) Dark
7) Funny
8) Individual
They are:
1) Extremely self-centered (even when they do charity work they must tell everyone about it)
2) Way, Way , Way Over-Photographed (mostly pictures of themselves taken by themselves)
3) Sad (when they can’t seem to grow out of playing the role)
4) Just a bit smelly (mainly when they try to be european)
A perfect example that many on this board may be familiar with is the kid who rides the tall bike. There is no clear or logical reason to ride such an impractical machine other than to attract the attention of those who are not hipsters and show them his metaphorical “shit in hand”.
They really aren’t so bad though and I speak from years of experience when I say that I would much rather live next to hipsters than gangbangers.
I also miss Mercury Cafe.
Just a couple interesting sites

i have seen some of these people ride around with tall bikes, i dont understand why, the first thing that comes to my head is that they probably work for the circus. But that’s not the case, they do it to get attention simple as that. everything they do, they feel that they need to imform others about it, it’s as if we were their parents and they’re like
( Hey mom and dad look at me! arent you proud of my silly antics) no nomral person would go around behaving like they do unless they’re completly wasted or have mental problems. it’s sad because this lifestyle is spreading like wildfire here in NYC, to the point that we hace pseudo hipsters walking around aswell. hopefully this wave of people would just leave but how?
actually they smell bad because they think using soap and deodorant will make them smell like corporations
they actually told me that once
i’ve also seen them walking barefoot on the bus :/
Yeah, Here’s this generation’s Flower Children:
Except, flower children actually stood for something. Hipsters stand for NOTHING except spending money and raising rents!!!
ERRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Could only get to about 30 secs in!
This is the kind a twisted, shit face that lives over there:
http://www.metro.us/us/article/2010/02/16/02/3610-82/index.xml
A round of Attention Poker…
Unwashed, gristly hipster: “I bet a pair of gold lamé spandex leggings and an Anna Wintour hair cut.”
Aging, despondent hippie still clinging to relevance with “legalize marijuana” rhetoric: “Check.”
Asymmetrical haircut emo shitbird cutting an arm and opining Hot Topic no longer being edgy and shocking: “Fold.”
Yuppie douche bag mommy: “I raise you two whiny, Whole Foods brats in a double stroller that I use as a battering ram to desperately make my worthless, pathetic non-existence mean something by acting like a cunt and shoving the fact that I can procreate in everyone’s face.”
I’m reminded of that episode of South Park where Cartman was trying to stop hippies from starting a music fest in the city. Stan’s parents were bitching about how this was a waste of time, while their going to Woodstock meant something, and then they remembered. They remembered puking all over the place from bad acid and screwing atop the puke. Not too far from the truth, and I say this as someone who was born just before LSD became illegal.
It makes me furious when stupid ass hipsters try to trip out. Remeber all those youtube videos of hipsters smoking Salivia? They have no spiritual understanding or respect for the plants whatsoever and that is usually why they have a bad trip.
The idea of Salvia as a party drug is just nuts, but what do I know. Because I can’t drink, I’m so straight-edge that I’d scare the shit out of Penn Jillette. (That’s not to say that I have a problem with friends drinking. It’s just that when I say I’m the designated driver that night, I mean it.)
All that acid damaged their parents’ chromosomes hence their brain-damaged, mentally retarded, mood-disorded, mongoloid looking, drug addicted, turd frolicking offspring.
“They’re just this generation’s flower children.”
I don’t think the ’60s hippies were having their parents pay the 1969 equivalent of $3500/mo so they could have a pad in the E. Village.
Not in the East Village, but definitely in Haight-Ashbury. Go check out some of Robert Crumb’s comics about that time, and you’ll see the same shenanigans. Almost line for line, in some cases.
“it’s sad because this lifestyle is spreading like wildfire here in NYC”
^ They seek out attention as the ultimate reward for the high rent prices their parents are paying.
Sadly nobody gives a shit about their attention seeking antics
Eventually they will realize this and wake up to the fact that they are bankrupting their parent’s bank accounts in their sad efforts of trying to be something they are not
They are not New Yorkers
They are not Washingtonians
They are not Bostonians
They are not Philadelphians
FOOLS ARE WHAT THEY ARE.
IDIOTS WHO FORCE THEIR PARENT’S TO PAY FOR THEIR EXTENDED VACATIONS IN URBAN CITIES AFTER THEY DECIDED ONE DAY AFTER WATCHING A FUCKING TELEVISION PROGRAM THAT THEY SHOULD ALSO BE LIVING IN THE CITY TOO
I AM A NATIVE WASHINGTONIAN BORN AND RAISED
I KNOW DEEP DOWN INSIDE THEY ALL WISH THEY COULD BE LIKE ME BUT THEY CANT
SO GO THE FUCK BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM AND GET THE HELL OUT OF MY NORTHEASTERN CITIES
IMITATION MAY BE THE HIGHEST FORM OF FLATTERY BUT PLEASE DONT FLATTER ME!!!!!
JUST GO THE FCUK BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM YOU PASTY ORGANIC RENT RAISING TRANSPLANT PIECES OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!
yep…i’m no psychologist, but i suspect child-rearing is at the root of the problem…domineering mother, absent or inadequate father; everything they do, no matter what annd regardless of the quality, is a “GOOOD JOB!!!” That’s why their thinking is so disorganized, and an idea like, “Hey, let’s grow asinine beards and open moped shop in brooklyn,” make sense to a hipster. they don’t understand the value of money, the importance of a good idea…all their lives, everything dumbed down…shitty jobs being called “GOOOOOOD JOB!!” What do you expect…they we’re raised by crappy movies, and base thier lives on them…and shitty TV and documentaries…in short, they are brain damaged…
Make that “Wall Street Trader Dad” and “Barbie Doll Bimbo Mom”.
Dad is a Wall Street shit. Therefore he as never done anything creative in his life. He only ruins other people’s lives (at home and abroad) through currency speculation and destroying the environment.
Mom is a Barbie-Doll model. She has the IQ of Bunny and Irina or of Sarah Palin, whichever is lower. Since Barbie Doll Mom married Wall Street Dad, she has never had to make the slightest effort at anything. She indulges herself in health spas and aromatic oils while reading self-help books and celebrity magazines and watching Oprah.
Then she pops out a few rugrats. Rugrats get everything handed to them. They get brought to school in Dad’s limo, dressed by the illegal Guatemalan maid who works for $2 below legal minimum. Now her precious offspring must never experience anything that’s not nice so they get everything paid for, including a low-academic college to study Relationships and Gender Studies at the University of Florida.
Then, after graduation when they find out nobody wants a “Relationships and Gender Studies” graduate, they move to Brooklyn, where it is all happening, at Daddy’s expense. All rent paid for until they hit 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, or infinity.
Anyone still wonder where all that bank bailout money went?
Remember a couple of posts back, when someone brought up the hipster parent whining about all of the famous individuals who’d be listed as hipsters today? I’m amazed that nobody brought up William S. Burroughs. After all, he was a complete washout, and his family finally paid him a stipend so he’d stay the hell away from them. (The only reason he lived in Tangiers was because that was the only place where he could get as much heroin as he wanted without having to work to augment said stipend.) He was an unrepentant junkie who spent his days writing insane letters to friends and cohorts, and until the day he died, he was a classic hipster.
Of course, the reason why Burroughs isn’t brought up is that he actually had a talent after all. And before anyone wants to argue about his writing ability, I want to note that his talent was in convincing publishers, not necessarily readers. A lot of people tried to copy his game, and failed miserably: why else do you think Elizabeth Wurtzel had to go back to school and get a law degree? Bill Burroughs was the one-in-a-billion shot: he’s not brought up because of his addictions or his murderous ways, but because out of the hundreds of thousands to millions of stupid hipster junkies in the last sixty years who lived on Mommy’s money, he’s the only one who made it. His fame exists solely because friends figured that his writing was interesting enough to put into book form, not because he was pursuing it.
Just a fun little observation, and one that should be pointed out to your local hipster acting as a doorstop at the local coffee shop.
“yep…i’m no psychologist,”
Oh, but you are….
“i suspect child-rearing is at the root of the problem…domineering mother, absent or inadequate father; everything they do, no matter what annd regardless of the quality, is a “GOOOD JOB!!!”
Plus, raised by people with 100% narcissistic personality disorder. Hipster parents spawned only to create trophies to themselves..an army of mini me’s. In reality, their parents had no emotional connection to their children. That’s why these kids turned out brain-damaged and emotionally retarded. When it came to real parenting, their parents copped out. Instead they warehoused their kids: nannies, daycare, videogames, the internet so they (parents) could pursue their own selfish shit. The net result is for hipster families $$$, possessions and consumerism have replaced thinking, relationships and emotions……
“shitty jobs being called “GOOOOOOD JOB!!”
Another thing they say when they fail but still want the pat on the head is…”But I tried my best”
……………………………..
“This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end….”
“Lost in a Roman…wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain……”
Lookit Wall Street Dad goddamnit, fuck you cuz I GOT CASH mothafucka…………..
About forty years ago, the author Harlan Ellison shared a little tale about cute widdle moppets expressing themselves. He wrote about a couple he knew who threw regular parties in Los Angeles, and they had a kid who was about five. This kid would come out in the middle of the party, announce at the top of his lungs “I have a pee-pee!”, and piss all over the rug. Everyone else either figured “Well, he’s doing his thing, or doing it with his thing, or whatever,” but his parents went on and on about how great it was that he was expressing himself. Ellison didn’t much care, but the first time the kid slipped and peed on Ellison’s pants leg, he stopped accepting invitations to their parties.
Ellison finished up with what should be the battle cry of all hipster loathers: “Let them express themselves on someone else’s pants leg.” Arioch knows I use it often enough.
Now they piss all over the poor and unemployed in Brooklyn, East Village, and the LES
Yet another reason to spay and neuter them before they spawn. Weed-Eaters for the boys and Roto-Rooters for the girls, and anybody who complains doesn’t get anaesthesia.
Yerrrrrrrs
I see it’s still the same tired repetitive rants from the same half dozen working class idiots on this site. ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz…
Eat a dick Josh
Careful: he eats any more, and he won’t be able to fit into his skinny pants. Now, if he were to choke on dick, then he’d be able to keep up that level of anorexia that we all know and love.
Now that Josh/Raymond douchebag is trolling on my wordpress blog…
I’d rather be “working class” any day of the week than some pampered, effete, cultureless, bland, leisure class hipster-yuppie inbred transplant like you.
Not to mention, I know quite a few Brooklyn “working class idiots” who became millionaires thanks to moronic fucking inbreds like you and your parents. Cha-ching!
Does anyone still doubt that hipster males can’t get laid. Here’s proof.
Go to youtube and type in “Amber Lamps”.
Dumb racist fuck, mocks the way black people pronounce ambulance and calls them jigaboos.
THIS SHIT’S CREEEEEPPPPYYYY!!!
