Two naive girls make Williamsburg documentary.
Posted: March 7, 2010 Filed under: Main 69 Comments »So these two girls, who I wouldn’t call hipsters and look like they’re not from NYC either seem to be fascinated by Williamsburg. (Although I would bang that Indian girl) They do make some hipster jokes through out the video but all in all they seem like they would move there in a heartbeat. I’ll leave it up to you to tear it apart in the comment section but I would like to point out a couple of things.
1) The bald guy in the beer store that when asked what kind of musician he is he says ‘I play the computer’ LOL. Also he says, in nasal tone of course, ‘yaaa, I moved here 10 years ago, that’s when this area was becoming gentrified’. NO SHIT FUCK-O! You were the cause!
2) I love when they all of a sudden jump to Keyspan Park/Cyclones Stadium and you don’t see one hipster of course. Why? Because hipsters are allergic to sports and anything south of Park Slope.
THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT BROOKLYN
I REPEAT THEY ARE NOT BROOKLYN
THEY ARE TRENDY TRANSPLANT PIECES OF SHIT
THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE
Update:
I posted a comment on the first video saying they were the stupidest women ever and it got deleted right away.
Guess they can’t stand criticism. Like Matt Grosseset or Steve Lame.
Judging from Mayonnaise girl’s reply, I think she thinks hipsters are saving Brooklyn, like this guy is saving Russia.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Couldn’t have said it better myself, darling…
NEWSFLASH YOU FUCKING STUPID TWATS
NONE OF THEM ARE FROM WILLIAMSBURG YOU STUPID FUCKS
Reminds me of tourists or transplants who walk around Times Square or Soho for a week and then start making judgments about New Yorkers, saying stuff like “Oh, all New Yorkers are like this” or “All New Yorkers are all like that”… it’s like, none of the people you’re encountering are even fucking FROM New York, you idiots. They’re just a bunch of fucking transients like you.
It’s the same as someone hanging around Heathrow Airport and then making judgments on Londoners based on what they see there. Fucking ridiculous.
“WE LIKE THE VINTAGE LOOK”
NO YOU DONT BITCH!
YOU LIKE THE ATTENTION YOU GET WHEN PEOPLE REACT TO SEEING YOU WEARING SOMETHING THAT WAS IN FASHION OVER 30 YEARS AGO
YOU MOTHERFUCKERS ARE NOT CAPABLE OF CREATING ANYTHING NEW SO THEREFORE YOU STEAL AND LEECH OFF PREVIOUS GENERATION’S FASHION AND STYLE
Since I can hardly afford non-used clothing that’s not Old Navy, I go to thrift stores to pick up old clothes and furniture. I find that older 50-60s-style dresses flatter my body way more than whatever is in right now (and fit me way better, and last longer) so that’s why I personally wear used clothes.
I used to hate “vintage” stores, which involve the store owners going out to thrift stores, buying all the clothes that appeal to hipsters, and reselling them at a 300%+ mark-up, but I guess as long as they’re making $ exploiting stupid folks it doesn’t really matter to me.
That’s precisely the way I look at it. I feel the same exact way about vintage toy shops: after all, to steal from cartoonist Evan Dorkin, there’s never been anybody else on the planet who had a Rock-em Sock-em Robots game or a Shogun Warriors action figure.
(An old and dear friend runs a local comic shop, and he’s been doing quite well. Back in the mid-Nineties, though, the comics boom gave him the opportunity to buy up several competing shops as the owners were getting out of the business, and the only mistake he made was in trying to keep a couple of them going instead of liquidating everything. Those stores were run by thieves and Cat Piss Men, so he had to manage a restaurant for years to get the money to pay off his losses, and he promoted an employee to manager of his flagship store while doing so. This guy went completely batshit on buying up all sorts of “vintage” toys and action figures, all close to the prices being charged by the people selling them. And since Some Guy told him that the Boba Fett action figure he was selling was worth $300, that’s what it was marked at, no matter how long it sat on the shelf waiting for someone with more money than brains. My friend finally got rid of the last of that excess from 1997, after firing his new manager for sheer incompetence, by selling it all online to hipsters even more bereft of understanding the battle between the id and fiscal responsibility.)
“YOU’RE QUITE THE NATIVE” “10 YEARS”
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!!!
THAT INDIAN BITCH IS ONE STUPID FUCK
ON TOP OF THAT HER NASAL ACCENT IS ANNOYING AS SHIT
I only made it 2 minutes into the 2nd video.
I cant watch this shit anymore.
Maybe later.
But not right now.
I need a break.
Ignorance at its finest.
Whenever I see women that spoilt, I think the Taliban are onto something.
“Whenever I see women that spoilt, I think the Taliban are onto something.”
Here ya go.

The chicks in the video were being sarcastic. From the rest of the video content, the viewer can assume that the chicks know that hipster culture and the gentrification that entails is a culture that is relatively new. As such, some of their comments like, “You’re quite the native. Ten years.” were sarcastic and designed to stroke the ego of the people they were interviewing and keep them talking. That tactic worked because in that same interview the craft beer reseller/musician/Black Francis look-a-like comes up with the, “I play the computer.” gem. Incidentally, FruityLoops was released ’round about the same time that this ball bag became a musician and moved to New York. Coincidence?
All that being said, I have the suspicion that the whole exercise was an attempt to aggrandize hipster culture through some kind of bullshit ironic self parody. It feels like it is forced, not a genuine attempt to understand the world around them. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it was discovered that the video was made to fulfill some kind of freshman year humanities requirement.
And they will be blowing the entire editorial staff of the NYT to get internships once they graduate.
These 2 twats must be from somewhere VERY VERY FAR FROM CIVILIZATION. There is no other explanation for it.
The two girls captured all the ‘hipster’ themes/stereotypes. The most most maddening part of the film to wasn’t the hipsters per se, it was in part 2 of the film (6:40?) where they guy says that Williamsburg is like Manhattan (It’s east village overflow). They wan’t to change Brooklyn into the city! It would have been funny if they interviewed people at Cyclones field about ‘hipsters’.
Reminds me of when I had some yupster idiot, who’d only been in the city for a few months, telling me that “Park Slope used to be like the East Village.” He looked at me like I was crazy when I said that was ridiculous.
But hey, I’ve only been here for pretty much my entire life, so what the fuck do I know.
“Park Slope used to be like the East Village” bahahahahaha spoken like a true nasally pseudo Brooklyn historian. You should broke his legs and said “you USED to be able to walk”
diehipster have you read about this story by any chance?
http://gothamist.com/2010/03/05/american_apparel_under_attack.php
onibk, I saw that shit and laughed my ass off!!!!
What the fuck are these brain-damaged mother fuckers up to? They are fucking hipsters trying to attack a hipster symbol!! HA HA HA HA. That shiteous store wouldn’t even be there if Williamsburg wasn’t known as the 5th year of college. Those little shitheels absolutely brought AA there! Now they attack it because it stands for gentrification? its inauthentic? Good then, let the shitheels burn Williamsburg to the ground.
Plus, (see now you got me started…)
WHY waste their energy on *that* bullshit. Where are they when Obama’s getting his ass kicked on healthcare? Why aren’t they stomping those teaparty people (sorry to those of you who are teaparty supporters)? What about Bloomturd’s quiet erosion of democracy in NYC? Check out the shit he did with the Charter Commission: http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/03/07/2010-03-07_mike_pals_revolting_oppose_plan_to_retool_charter.html
Where are these politicially conscious “old timers”???? Why not throw rocks at Bloomturd instead?
Plus this too fuckers-

Yeah I think somebody linked it the other day.
yeah what do we know
..i guess since we were born and raised in ny especially in brooklyn it doesnt matter..so why ask for our opinion..when they can ask some people who only lived in ny for a few months and years..
here are a few stories that i found online.
i guesss starbucks is going to cash in on this little trend in williamsburg aswell
http://gothamist.com/2010/03/05/starbucks_confirmed_on_bedford_in_w.php
Jesus fucking Christ. Reading the comments took me back to living in Portland. (Hey, I sympathize with the bagel shop owner getting dumped on his ass, especially since you know that the space will be empty for years. The landlord is probably asking for rent what Some Guy told him it was worth, and he’s the one who’ll pay for his greed and stupidity. But good Nyarlathotep Almighty, people, nobody’s holding a gun to your head and telling you that you’ve got to buy Starbucks. Has it ever occurred to any of you little darlings that if the local coffee shop, bookstore, or record shop goes under right after the big bad corporate competitor moves in, it’s usually for a good fucking reason?)
It’s always the ones who’ve only been in town for a few weeks or months who think they’ve got a grasp of “the big picture”, and nearly everything they’re spouting came from someone who was pulling their legs. It’s not even revisionist history: they actually believe the bullshit they’re spraying around, even when reality and history prove otherwise.
“It would have been funny if they interviewed people at Cyclones field about ‘hipsters’.”
…and a great way to end their ‘Brooklyn hipster’ report. Hearing what real NYers think about these mindless Peter Pans.
At the end the girls point out the area is nice with the condos, but its total bullshit to pretend to be a hipster. Even that hipster at the bar was bitching about 9-5 i-bankers and yuppies pretending to be like him on weekends. In any case, those two looked like they were bashing the bullshit of second-hand stores especially when they proved that real thrift stores sell the same shit at 5% of the secondhand store prices.
Give these two a decent camera and sound recording system, let them spend more than a day wandering around, and convince them to get back behind the camera, and they might have something. The problem here is that they’re too focused on being in front of the camera, and they need to consider that a documentary on hipsters needs to focus on the fucking things.
That said, would I watch another documentary on the subject? Fuck no, unless it involved someone collecting hipster pelts for money.
Yeah, bangable Indian girl.
YEAH she is bangable alright.
Here in DC the kids would bang her head around on the pavement and then steal her I-PHONE.
http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2010/02/big-fight-in-chinatown-sat-night/
“My work has me in downtown Chicago and NYC quite frequently and I rarely ever see roving packs of severely misbehaved kids. At worst there are bus loads of school kids on field trips but they don’t get in massive brawls and shove the elderly. Quite sadly this is a unique phenomenon to DC not suffered in large pedestrial centers of other large cities.”
“Yeah dude, that’s because you hang out in Times Square. Go to Bed-Stuy or the even Stuy Town. Believe me, the packs of roving kids are in NYC in all 5 boroughs. They’re just not as prevalent in the touristy areas because they have stuff to do in places that aren’t touristy, AND they have more than like 3 places to go within walking distance of their homes. Chinatown is a walkable place to a lot of section 8 buildings AND happens to be a tourist spot. Poor planning perhaps, but them’s the breaks.”
“I’m assuming by “NYC” you mean Manhatten, and you also mean during the day and near business centers. Because, head on over to the skate park beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, the basketball courts on the lower east side, or head up a bit into Harlem, or across the river into Brooklyn, and you’ll see this same sort of thing—kids pushing other kids around. Not sure where kids hang out in Chicago, but I’m guessing its not the business district. ALSO, you don’t see this sort of behavior on weekdays (even during the summer) in Chinatown. It’s a Weekend issue—if you even want to call it an issue. And it most certainly is not unique to DC.
ALSO: Where do you get “shove the elderly” from? If you are using hyperbole, you mights as well add “knock over baby carriages” and “block ambulances” and “waive guns” because you will want to cover all of the bases on shocking behavior that could theoretically happen.”
“Used to live in Ft. Greene / Clinton Hill and, yes, there were times when groups of kids would congregate and sometimes a fight would break out. Same thing would happen down at the Fulton Street Mall, which would be a more analagous comparison to Chinatown. Other than humvee-like baby strollers clogging up the sidewalks, I’ve never seen it in Park Slope. And other than hipster goofbags, same thing with Williamsburg.
I think the difference is expectation–people go to Chinatown, and they want Pentagon Row or Reston Town Center. Chinatown isn’t my favorite part of the city for a related reason–it looks like Pentagon Row or Disney World with all the “old” and well-lit-up facades hiding chain stores, just robbing the area of charm which it otherwise would have in spades with the portrait gallery and old patent office building.
I do agree the kids are ill behaved, but this shock–SHOCK–at this fact is what is so interesting. It’s like the people complaining *deserve* better. It’s this air of entitlement which I just don’t get.”
^ I ALWAYS LOVE IT WHEN TRANSPLANTS TRY TO OUT-URBAN EACH OTHER
I’M MORE URBAN THAN YOU
I USED TO LIVE IN CHICAGO, BOSTON, BROOKLYN, LOS ANGELES, MIAMI BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
SADLY THIS IS WHAT OUR MAJOR CITIES ARE TURNING INTO
TEMPORARY TRENDY DESTINATIONS FOR THOSE WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS ACHIEVING/GAINING SOME SORT OF DISGUSTING CRED
IT TRULY IS SICKENING
TRANSPLANTS MAKE ME WANT TO VOMIT
Heh, heh, heh, heh
I should start my own kick yupsters in the head/face league.
Those kind of incidents happen here in DC enough that its very own league should be started.
Observation 1: Yeah the Indian chick’s all right…The White girl..(mayonaise much?)
Observation 2: Agree with other posts, that they shoulda asked real Brooklynites what they thought…a real shortcoming to have overlooked this.
Observation 3: These chicks are yupped out Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan skanks (even if the Indian chick is cute, once she opens her mouth its all over…plus look at her Forever 21 outfit NO NO NO NO NO) These are exactly the kinda bitches that think they are Carrie Fucking Bradshaw.
Observation 4: So, this little video enthnography is like the SITC set ragging on the hipsters. Although they point out some repugnant shit, eg, that FUCKING CRAFT BEER BOUTIQUE run by the fattest assed hipster *I’ve* ever seen, its still based on cupcake eating POV.
Also gotta give props for getting the self-hating hipsters @ 6:11. I imagine *this* is exactly the conversation Matt & Nathan had a few days ago!
OBservation 5: I’ll also add that white bitch *wanted* all that hipster shit. Did you see her salivating over those shiteous $249.oo thrift store boots? That bitch is prancing around in them right now with her Wall Street fuckface boyfriend in Battery Park City incubating a nice case of hipster foot fungus.
Observation 6: So who the fuck are these Carrie Bradshaw bitches to tell anybody: “next time you put on the skinny jeans ask yourself what’s this *rilli* about…” ??? Plus, I really hate the *awesome* usage.
FOAD carrie bradshaw bitches you are the Bunny & Irina of urban cultural anthropology.
WTF is “Craft Beer”???
Rilly!!!
sorry…can’t watch that shit…
i can’t stand hipsters
it’s like the sound of chalk screeching on a blackboard…no matter what it is
Love your blog. Share your hatred. Where are you from out of curiosity?

Brooklyn. Surprised you didn’t figure that out on your own. LOL
wtf is this!!! kill me now

Yeah, I saw this and I immediately had to take a shit. Its linked to that slimey bitch EriKKKa Reitman’s fuKKKers of park slope blog.
My advice to you bro, is to go easy on these kinda horrible blogs or you will lose your mind.
Here’s Erika Reitman.
FUCK THAT SQUID FACE BITCH
Of course she would look like that.
It’s so funny how these yups try to act so cool and blasé online, like as though they’re doing us lowly Brooklyn natives a favor by even acknowledging our existence, but meanwhile when you finally see the pictures of what these people look like, it’s obvious that they’re the Brooklyn equivalent of the nerd table in the high school cafeteria.
I had a similar experience with a douchebag off of Brooklynian. This particular guy acted like he was just so God damned cool, I couldn’t even stand next to his yup ass. Then, when I finally saw what he looked like in real life, he was about 5’4″, 40 years old, going bald, flabby as hell and dressed like a dirty bum. And this same guy was calling me a “troll.” Unreal.
No wonder she’s broke. She’s so far past fuckable she has no chance.
I wonder if her parents still support her?
And why does her male companion wear no pants?
Also, he’s got that cocksitting* expression too.
(*Shout out to booboo, no homo….)
Damn, yeah. From her writing I had figured she was a recent college grad, but she’s gotta be on the far side of forty. With the jowls and the bun she looks a lot like my grandma, except my grandma (a second-generation German immigrant from Philly) had more culture in her toenail than this poseur has in her entire body.
I’ve seen a lot of aging hipster chicks pull this act. They really think that their “snarky” opinions about the latest flavor-0f-the-month band or movie were what attracted all the guys to them back when they were in their twenties. So when they hit the wall, instead of reconsidering their attitude and pulling their heads out of their asses, they turn the sarcasm up to 11 in a desperate attempt to stay cool. It’d be sad if it weren’t such a pain in the ass.
thunder-thighs, anyone?
She’s a funded culture-vulture and undercover racist hiding behind “community missions”.
These transplanted assholes are so high on themselves and their “projects” that they never see the full picture of the city around them. Fucking condescending classists pigs.
She’s got a fucking squid head, horse gums and a huge cellulite ass..for reals dude you could get lost in there for days.
LOok at her she gots bad breath and the mentality of an unflushed toilet.
I have only one thing to ask. Where the hell are Sigourney Weaver and a forklift when you need ‘em?
she’s awfulllll
NASAL-BORED BLASE TONE TO THE MAX. working for this over-funded piece of shit blog of hers is the only thing that makes ms. reitman feel good about herself. she’s the type of girl who criticizes other girls for being vain. when she’s the most vain of them all.
Awright, you wanna see some scary shit:
http://heybrooklyn.com/70/erica-reitman/
check out her monster gums. Fuuuuuck she could be a ride a Coney Island. This bitch’s gums could rilli turn me off oral sex.
GUMBY
“Why, huuuuuuulllllllooooo, Wiiiiiiilbuuuuur.”

Fucking cochinos! What the fuck is this horrible trend? THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED!
Not sure about the fuck Obama part, but this dude kinda sounds like me:
As if any normal person want’s to consume a fucking nasally pasty canckeled hairy armpitted hag’s *breast* milk……..This is the epitome of narcissism.
TODAY’S HIPSTER BEATING: I overheard a bucktoothed, hairy pitted, pasty, grateful dead listening, “mommy” bragging that her exxxtra special, magically delicious, vitamin filled, *breast milk* was used to make cheese sold by her husband’s restaurant. I promptly tied her two giant udder shaped sagging titties together and threw her in the Gowanus Canal. END OF STORY.
UGH!
“”I think a lot of the criticism has to do with the combination of sex and cheese, but . . . the breast is there to make food,” said Lori Mason, the chef’s wife.”
You fucking smug cunt! She’s so impressed with her ability to not only spew forth a precious snowflake from her womb but to now create artisanal gourmet wares from her tits! She must be a goddess! Bitch, where’s the link to your Etsy store where you sell art made from your pubic hair and teacups from your snot and earwax?
You haven’t been to Regretsy yet, have you? Apparently, toenail parings are now being referred to as “human ivory” by enterprising hipster artisans.
Well, I have now. Thanks a lot. As if I didn’t hate people enough…
If I thought Diehipster took requests, and I understand completely if s/he doesn’t, I’d recommend a good traipse through the nightmare of Etsy. It’s a good idea for real artists, but it’s also a toxic waste dump for every hipster who figures “Hey, I want to be creative, so I’ll make cool creative things and sell them! It’s easy, isn’t it?” As Regretsy demonstrates, there’s a definite imbalance between output and talent.
Actually, the bulk of the “breast” is not there to make food. Its evolutionary purpose is to attract males and be an age indicator. This dumb bitch needs to read more. Why the fuck does she think other female mammals (e.g., dogs, cats, monkeys, etc.) are able to produce sufficient milk for their young with mammaries only a fraction the relative size of human beings’?
Wait until you hear the other shoe drop. Yep, the beatings will now commence.
BARF! BOOOOAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!
DID YOU HAVE TO SHOW ME THAT????
I WAS EATING!!!
ANOTHER REASON TO KILL THESE SICK SHITS!!!
Yep, that was my response, too.
Then again, it’s Bunny and Irina’s favorite food.
Note how they go from the stripper bar (where they are doubtless competing with each other in the men’s room to see who sucks off the most dicks)
to a place where they put hookas (long cylindrical objects like penises) into their mouths and suck on them
to Middle Eastern treats (Arab penises)
to Cannolis (Italian hard pastries with whipped cream inside – need I say more?)…
DEFINITE SPERM FOOD LOVERS!!!
