Oh man! This just might the perfect song or anthem for the hipsters of this world that have somehow spawned and multiplied and ruined so many cities. The deep, thought-out, heavy lyrics are basically “LOOK AT ME! EVERYONES LOOKING AT ME BECAUSE I’M FREE!”
Like, yah! Like yah! Life is about expressing yourself without limits! Not caring what you look or act like! Just be yourself! Like yah!!! Like yah!!! Just like mommy told you when you were 9 but now you are 36 – but you don’t care! People are just jealous of your freeeeeedom of expression! Like yaaaaah! It’s so easy to run around like a zany creative type for years and years when you have that trust fund or a wallet full of Daddy’s credit cards or live in a one-bedroom with 7 other waiters or production assistants just to make rent!
Just look at this oily, tight clothes wearing, talentless, Mast Brother relative. This is the type of guy who will buy $180 tight pants and pretend to care about how coffee in unfairly traded. I just can’t for the life of me figure out how these fucking hipsters find this childish pussy rock/pop so appealing. It’s just so awful and embarrassing.
This blg will be shut down by word press soon for advocating violence.
It abuses their terms.
I have lodged a complaint with them.
Avoid this blog until it ceases to advocate thuggery.
The hipsters take drugs but violence is worse.
seriously-?–lodge a complaint?-then ignore the blog and read then news–complain about wars and violence world wide which is broadcast free to all ages everywhere via TV-radio etc–this blog is a send up and if the violence bothers me–i DON’T read it!!!-genius eh??-thought so:)-i have friends who bother me more than this blog—grow up-lodge a peanut up your nose and blow:))-see what happens–it will set you free:)
yes – we must stop the violence.
No. There isn’t enough violence against hiptards.
again i have submitted your comment to wordpress as direct evidence that this blog is a call to violence. every time you issue one i submit it and that means the blog will be shut down.
look here is the form. stop or the blog you enjoy will not exist.

I have reviewed you complaint and I have determined that you are a whiney Douche Bag. Your home address has been sent to all regular posters on the blog. As president of the internet I have the right to this. Yup, just because I want something it magically happens. Oh, BTW, you really should stop visiting those websites with little boys. I have passed your web surfing history on to the authorites and you will be arrested shortly. Have a nice Day!

That is extortion. A CLEAR violation of the TOS. You lose. Next…
Call to violence? Hiptards walk the streets un-molested, SO when I say there isn’t enough violence against them, I’m making an observation. It appears that grade school English was one of your more difficult subjects.
Drop fucking dead, and may all of your ilk follow suit. <—- Submit that as evidence (calling for mass death via divine intervention/unknown cause), then grab a can of spray paint and tag up the clubhouse of a local 1% motorcycle club. They'll be so happy to congratulate you for bringing them "culture".
How ’bout I shove a baseball bat up your skinny ass, take you out on the water and dump you and your ugly beard off the side of my boat chained to a cement block?
I actually liked the song. Born and raised in the LES. Hipsters think the world revolves around them. The world isn’t flat and your opinion and petitions hinder free speech. Fuck off try-hard.
What violence has occurred as a result of this blog?? ..??
Sadly, NO violence happens due to this blog.
LOL!!!! +1
shut ‘em down: for someone who apparently hates this site soo much you sure do post on it a lot. you have more comments on here then any one person.. and they are completely full of empty threats. if this site offends you, stop coming to it dumbass. its morons like you that whine about change but just make more problems for society.
You don’t get it. With hiptards, yuptards and other defectives with entitlement mentalities who can’t handle criticism of any form about them, they feel they have the right to dictate what other will say or read.
what is the evidence for this?
The transcript of your statements. You are also violating the terms of use. You may be banned.

i am not in violation of anything.

Oh, and thank you for supplying us with the form to have YOU shut down.
maybe not.. but its clear you have waaaaay too much time on your hands.. get a life, go buy another pair of glasses with no lenses
Your behavior.
Please ignore this cockrag going forward and let him die a violently driven excruciating painful death alone.
KICK HIM IN THE DICK!!!YOU CAN DOOO IIIIT
Let me tell you something Hipster, I was slapping the shit out of hipsters long before I knew of the existence of this blog.
I’m guessing the only thing you slap around is your wife, you wannabe tough guy.
Your wife slaps you around, Timmy. So what’s your point?
My point is like most Internet tough guys you have no balls, a condition that in your case is probably familial.
how did you lose yours tim? I once heard if you dont use it.. you lose it…
the only shit you slap is virtual, you little weenie.
Don’t worry, these cowards would never dare get into a fight in real life unless they were in a mob fighting one person. They are Internet tough guys.
Don’t let me catch you in my ‘hood.
You’d have to leave your parents’ basement to see me so I’m not worried, chickenshit.
right, you’ll send your Meghan Canklestein out to kick my ass when I show up at your door.
you are rubber I am glue, you little weak saucy sexy berger.
Speak for yourself
Wow, more hiptard projection. Hipsters assume what applies to them, must also apply to the majority. Since “Tim” (like most hipsters) is a physical coward (possibly Stevie Lam), always has been one, he can’t fathom the idea of standing on his own two feet since he never had to while growing up in “Culdesacia” with his helicopter parents.
I laugh while you stumble in the dark, Tim.
REPENT ! The Kingdom of Hipster is at hand !
Well you’re obviously a fucking dildo with too much time on your hands. It’s a joke, so pull your head out of your ass you little delicate flower bitch.
Good luck, Stevie. Apparently your respect for the First Amendment begins and ends with your perceived right to say what you want when you want. (If it came down to it in a US court, you’d lose thanks to the precedent of Brandenburg v. Ohio: and since you’re Canadian, any claim you might make on US law would receive a hearty “blow it out your ass” from any court with possible jurisdiction.) As it is, I’ll bet good money that WordPress gets hundreds of similar requests from butthurt man-children just like you, and the funnier ones get peals of laughter from the poor spelling and worse syntax before they get dumped into the “Tantrum-Throwing Tattletales” file.
The video would be better if all these adult toddlers were run over by an approaching furniture truck. That would be beautiful.
I second the motion…
“lodged a complaint”??
how bout’ i lodge my foot in your ass??
get lost you fucking loser
damn you are a witty one. let me reply with, “how about you lodge a foot in my ass?” “okay how about i lodge a dildo up your little whiney pus, my little bear cub?
Better bitch out YouTube, too:
Oh, and we can’t forget the Hipster Olympics:
so damn stupid to post youtube videos. you are such a loser – who has the time to post some stupid videos. you and your html skillz. your little boyfriend must love that.
Sorry, but all I hear is Wahhh wahhhh wahhhhh…
…does your mommy mail you your Pampers or do you buy them yourself now?
Like all hipsters it seems like you talk a lot but don’t actually do anything.
All you have to do is old NYC “What the fuck you lookin at,” and these transplants shit themselves. Who needs to get violent? My 7 yr old niece can take them out.
I vomited 30 seconds in “Everyone’s looking at me because I’m free” If thats what you call being free then i think I’ll stay “a slave to the system”
slave to thuggary
Weak. Typical unimaginative, uninspired hiptard bullshit.
and weak typical unimaginiative nerd comments from you, captain dork rider.
I don’t see how I missed this little gem. Typical hiptard lameness: If a hiptard thinks he’s dealing with a “neanderthal”, then he plays (poorly) the “intellectual” role. If the hiptard realizes hes dealing with someone much smarter than himself (not saying much, most people are smarter than hiptards), he goes into “toughguy/wannabe-alpha/emulate-the-guys-who-used-to-torment-him-in-high-school” mode (and fails at that too). Predictable, lame and boring. <—- hipsters in a nutshell.
Exactly FTF!
Slave to a group of pretentious, self absorbed people, you’re not welcomed here so don’t come here looking for attention.
i don;t want attention. and i don’t love hipsters. i hate violence though.
peace.
You’re a lying sack of hipster shit. You are a hipster. Only hiptards defend hiptards. Your feelings about violence, in addition to make yourself appear to take the “high ground”, have far more to do with physical cowardice than an actual, moral aversion to violence. Feed hipsters feet-first into woodchippers.
i love all humanknd except those who support violence.
i have submitted another abuse complaint to wordpress featuring your comments as evidence.
Shut up lying hipster. You’re not going to change any minds. Drop dead or take a running leap into a woodchipper. <— more evidence you can submit.
i understand i can;t necessarily change minds but i have already done enough to get this blog shut down. and you have helped me. thankyou!
my work here is done. wordpress will do the rest.
Shut up and die.
So…whatareyougoingtodowhenWordpresstellsyou”Oh.tellittotheMarines”?
Hey shut ‘em I’d like to smash your head open with a baseball bat and splash your brains all over Williamsburg. Then pickle them and sell ‘em at Meg and Caleb’s locally sourced market for $30 a jar. Just saying you oversensitive dumb ass.
Why don’t you go back to watching kiddie porn?
What do you shit rainbows?you sound like a walking vaginal queef
you do love hipsters, and you love violence. you all want violence. you want some actual meaning to your boring lives.
wahhhh wahhhhh wahhhhh
Thought for a moment at first that it was another one of those caveman insurance commercials — which would have actually made this funny. Clicked off at 29 seconds.
Hey Caleb, the synagogue called. They’re suing you for stealing their look.
Pathetic moron.
I’m new here, so not sure if your comment was meant for me, but I’m a native. FYI..
It wasn’t at you. That was definitely intended for the idiot in the video.
And to think that I paused Jane’s Addiction to watch what amounts to a nursery rhyme. Clicked off at :10.
The sound of water plopping after I unload a sweaty turd hammer is more interesting than that song.
So wrong in so many ways. Reminds me of that priceless Zappa tune- “teenage wind”- “free is when you don’t have to pay for nothing or do nothing, we want to be free, free as the wind”
who is zappa, you old fart. get off some hate blog and grow up.
If you had no idea who Zappa is, how would you know to call him ‘old’?
Keep tripping over yourself…it’s incredibly amusing…

Completely nonviolent act of personal expression by him.
Wake up at 2am, can’t sleep. See an email from DieHipster. Read the new entry. Watch the video. Walk into traffic.
That street he’s running down is the Strasse der 17. Juni in Berlin. The Brandenburg gate and TV tower are out of focus in the distance. I assume it was filmed really early on Sunday morning to be that empty (which means they didn’t get to sleep that night).
I still travel to Berlin occasionally on business and I’ve watched it devolve from a real artist hideout to a total hipster/yupster hellhole over the last 5 years. There’s plenty of gritty factories and derelict buildings that have been worked over by artist for years. Except that lately the hipsters and eurotrash discovered it, moved their suburban yuppie shit in, priced out the residents and basically made it boring.
And this fucko thinks he’s free. Wait till mommy and daddy’s trust fund runs out then see how free you’ll really be. Oh, and don’t bother looking for a job in Berlin unless you’re highly qualified; there aren’t any and Americans can’t work there without visas.
Bwahahaha

did you read the comments?Funny ish
Irony! Because bikers are the last people anyone would consider “mainstream”.
An awful lot of Jap junk in those pictures.
Just sayin…
The hipsters could start a rival bike gang to kick them out. Naah; I’m laughing just thinking about the possibilities. Penny-farthings with water balloons, etc…
Super soakers with modified firing pins…
Genius Chau ! Who wouldn’t get sick of hipster “occupation” and all their bogus “anarchist” occupy bullshit. Glad someone’s getting anarchist on their asses
I think my old Hurricane’s coach in Marine Park would of hit my knees out with a sledge hammer if I ran down 1st like that
I loved the expression of the guy on the median at 1:09, taking a photo of the proceedings. “Hey, Mavis, you won’t BELIEVE the freak who went prancing by in the fast lane this morning!”
Looks like a zombie movie.
So, I was in NYC for a job interview on this past weekend. Went up there wednesday, had the interview on Thursday and left later that day. I’m hoping I get this…if not, it’s not the end of the world.
But yeah, I stayed in Queens and enjoyed it thoroughly. Young kids, families, working adults, and genuinely great people all around there. At the hotel I stayed in, there were a bunch of out of state/country tourists. While they went to McDonalds and fancy restaurants out of the borough, I went to all the bodegas to get food and drinks. After being there so much, I have to SMH @ people who think NYC is some special, overblown tourist attraction.
So, as I was leaving…I was driving down Flushing ave and saw Bedford Ave up ahead. I just drove down Bedford Ave just to see the freak show!!! But yeah…wow at Williamsburg. What I saw there just had me scratching my head. I saw some 30 something beardo wearing dayglow gear and a young blonde woman wearing a fedora next to me when I was driving and I just decided to leave the area. SMH @ the parentally funded circus that North Borroklyn has become.
the issue i have with the attitudes on this blog is that there’s a lot negativity and that means ultimately letting the hipsters win.
why not realize the ‘original’ inhabitants of brooklyn are part of the ‘authenticity’ the hipsters crave. yes you can moan about them driving up rents and,yes you can moan about their personal style and attitudes, desire for ‘attention’ or failure to make a ‘contribution. but the fact is there are shit loads of them and they’re not going anywhere fast.
so, why not think about this differently? you don’t have to change your attitudes towards them but why not come up with a way of making money of these suckers. sell them the authentic Brooklyn they crave.
yes, you’ll probably say they don’t want ‘real’ brooklyn they want this faux-artisinal bullshit version, but if i had several hundred thousand rich suckers on my doorstep i wouldn’t be
wasting my time moaning about it I’d be making a ‘contribution’ and working out a way of relieving them of their cash without fucking over my neighbors.
just a thought.
Yeah, but then you have to come up with something “quirky,” “zany,” and outrageously high-priced with little or no outlay on your part. Me, I’m still trying to figure out how to do that.
It’s just a blog, for chrissake. Relax already.
THANK YOU!
although Im all about ripping them off.
Warning: Estrogen Alert. Duck and Cover.
STOP IT STEVIE!!!
YOU HAVE A VAGINA!!!
With respect, you seem to have led a very sheltered life. “young blonde woman wearing a fedora”. is this really so strange? the hipsters aren’t your thing, but are they really that strange? are they any stranger than goths, 80s hair metal metal-fans, greatful dead fans, britney spears.
I actually find they quite ordinary comapred to punks or hippies or ravers. A plaid shirt and a beard and day-glow just aren’t that odd, even in a smaller city or town.
A plaid shirt and a beard and day-glow are very strange in Brooklyn. Very.
thanks for the reply DH – interested in your opinions on big dave’s post.
ok, a beard, plaid shirt *and* day glow is a little freaky. but most of them i see are wearing plaid and jeans with a beard. different yes from some but not that ‘weird’. you like jimi hendrix? the doors? the beatles? led zeppelin? those guys looked different but all sort like them.
I believe I answered stuff like this in the About section of this site. They did it first when that look had never been seen before – AND THEY HAD FUCKING TALENT. 40 years later when you see a fucking Gilligan physiqued complete nobody (never to be known artist, musician, etc) who came to Brooklyn because he read a blog and is paying double the rents he should and dressed like Mick Jagger or Hendrix or Warhol or Joey Ramone I just want crack him. I feel he doesn’t belong; Im almost embarrassed for him. Hope this answered your question.
it did, thanks.
what about bid dave’s point about making money off the hipsters? take theeir cash off them through selling them a slice of brooklyn – or is that selling out?
i see the italians who own lucalis in carrol gardens making $$$$ off them. seems like good business.
here’s my analysis after reading a few posts and comments:
– since the early 90s it’s become more popular to live in cities. this has put pressure on housing stock and rents. some ‘original’ inhabitants benefit if they own property in an area that gets popular (e.g. forte greene, carrol gardens, cobble hill etc). however if they don’t they may be forced to move out. there’s some legitimate cause for frustration there. the change in brooklyn has happened fast – mainly in the past 10 years. that’s going to be unsettling for people who don’t like change.
- but cities are always changing and have always changed. e.g. carrol gardens, was build for the middle class, become working class and is now middle class again. the hipsters per se for this. they’re just the latest new wave of people.
– most of them haven’t got trust funds or are getting funded by parents. fact. they have been to college though so at least have the prospect of better paid jobs. this probably causes some jealously amongst those that haven’t.
– their style is hard to pin down because it’s “post-modern” rather than being into one thing, they’re into lots of things at the same time. this can be confusing for people who were say a punk or a metal fan but can’t understand day-glow with plaid, with a fedora. that said though there is some truth that they re-cycle rather than invent new stuff. granted.
– they’re young and have kids late so they have the opportunity to have fun. if
– most of them do not make any ‘contribution’ (if we define this as becoming a big music act or opening a good restaurant or a great artist in MOMA). but how is this different to any other generation? most people have never made it but a lot of people have always tried. i think the difference to previous generations is the internet. more people can put there stuff out there and it might not be that great. i don’t think they want attention more than any other generation has wanted to be a sports star or a rock musician. I did in the 80s. they just put stuff out there in a different way. it’s harmless.
– there have always been trends and fashion. some become classic and some die out. but without them we wouldn’t have any new ideas. most will suck but i’d rather have people thinking about new stuff than just have things always stay the same – even if it is just fairly ephemeral stuff like clothing and music.
– i think the primary motivations behind this blog are some jealously (of their youth, money, education, privilage and creativity). i hate privilege but i try not to get jeleous about those that have more than me I try to be positive.
and there’s also a worrying undercurrent of violence here, that may be slightly surreal and ‘satirical’ but comes very close to this..especially when we have people posting real videos of beatings (e.g. the one outside kelloggs) and the commenters approving. is this really who you want to be? would you tell your kids what you were laughing at?
i also meant to add in addition to jealousy there’s almost certainly a degree of scapegoating. like the jews were scapegoats in nazi germany, the irish and italians in 19th century new york, the blacks etc.
when people are dissatisfied with their own life they tend to put a lot of effort into finding an enemy even though that ‘enemy’. yes, hipsters are anooying sometimes but are they they an issue to the extent you make out?
why not be more positive or pick a real target that’s fucking people over like pharma companies, overpaid CEOs, people moving american jobs overseas, people sending troops to fight bullshit wars.
“why not be more positive or pick a real target that’s fucking people over like pharma companies, overpaid CEOs, people moving american jobs overseas, people sending troops to fight bullshit wars.”
Those people are not prancing around my neighborhood like attention starved toddlers and directly responsible for unnecessary rent raising. I’m not big enough to take on those problems mentioned. I’ll take care of the hipster infestation moving southward in Brooklyn. I’ll leave the rest to the Occupiers who have pot parties at Zuccati while sending their iPhone video protests around the world.
SHUT THE FU*K UP ALREADY YOU FREAKING DIPSNOT WANNABE GATSBY!!!! you’re literally perpetuating the very exact reasons why we hate hipsters. look in the mirror you fool!!! YOU ARE THE VERY GODDAMN REASON WHY WE ARE SUPPORTING THIS BLOG!!!!! I hope someone stabs you in your face!!!!!!
Did you really just pull a Godwin?
never heard that before – funny!
i guess i did!
but when you’ve got people reveling in someone actually getting beaten (granted DH didn’t post the video himself) – because largely of what he looks like and his tastes it’s just not that different i’m afraid in terms of attitude.
That Hipster getting Flipstered video is just fucking funny. End of story.
you have to remember the nazis party was made up of quitec ordinary working class and middle class people who when times were changing fast and the economy was shitty found an enemy to blame for all their problems. *of course* this site isn’t advocating such extremes and i’m sure the people here are better people, but the attitude here lives on the same continuum – scapegoating and prejudice (with some justification through the impact of hipsters in brooklyn)
ahh. so we’ve hit your limitations. you clearly have some talent, and at least enthusiasm for writing, but rather than respond to the reasoned analysis i provided or big dave’s point about is it ok for brooklyn natives to make money from hipsters you start babbling on about ‘attention starved toddlers’.
yes – you could blame hipsters directly or rent raising rents. or, you could realize your potential and think more broadly than this. why are they here? because in the 90s new york got ‘cleaned up’ by italian-american mayor Giuliani and became a place middle class college-educated young people wnated to live in again. why did he do it? morality? because brooklyn natives asked for it? because it benefited corporations?
finally, i see you dismiss anyone who takes on bigger issues as some sort of hippie. that’s why you’re an internet star to a few people who can only attack others and work towards positive solutions. is this your ‘contribution’??
will you always be little like you accuse the hipsters of being or will you become ‘big enough’ to make a positive contribution to a solution? for example you could campaign for more affordable housing in brooklyn, you could campaign to have bike lanes removed (please don’t though). or, will you always be the judgemental little man with the dick size to mtach?? eh???
It’s come to the point of this argument for me to say YOU WIN. I’m just hallucinating – there is no hipster infestation in Brooklyn and I have no right to voice my opinion about my hallucinations. I also don’t have the time right now to repeat what I’ve said to the dozens of hipster defenders that have came on here like yourself. Have a local, absinthe, sustainable latte on me.
no-one’s saying you don’t have a right to express your opinion. i am *criticizing* your opinion though. you should make it clear in the about you’re not interested in debate.
I’ll leave you to your little cesspool, where everyone agrees with you and you’re the biggest guy in the room. you don’t seem particularly interested in debate.
life’s easier when you stick to what you know isn’t it you sad, inconsequential anonymous little man?
Hey Stevie, your mom’s calling.
who pray tell is stevie?
“pray tell”?? hahahhahaha
i thought that might amuse you.
i’m actually coming round to this site. more straight talking than that hipster bullshit. lol.
lol you’re taking this blog too seriously, seriously. either way, i hope you can see why some violence is being directed towards hipsters: there’s just too many things to hate and, i hate to say it, but, they’re kinda asking for it. it just so happens that this sense of entitlement, attention seeking, and pseudo-intellectualism was paired up with people who are wealthy without having to work and are quickly intruding into normal people’s lives. not only that, but they’re also in their fucking thirties and forties (some have children). there is absolutely no excuse for their behavior at that age. you say that these people are being persecuted (just like the jews, right?) for their tastes and likes, but the thing is they’re only doing it for attention and to make themselves feel better and others worse (more creative/intelligent than others). the jews certainly were not intruding into people’s lives to feel better about themselves and belittle others, nor were they publicly making fools of themselves. where there’s smoke there’s fire, and the hipsters seem to be asking for this treatment. hell, they’ll welcome any treatment if it means it can get them some attention. the difference between the persecution of the jews, blacks, italians, etc. is that their culture is genuine whilst the hipster’s is intrusive and unoriginal. there is more than just scapegoating and jealousy going on here
also, why does it bother you that so many people care about this subject? why would you assume they aren’t active members of their community or politics in much more important subjects?
DH, why pray tell hasn’t this site been shut down yet for perpetrating acts of violence against humanity?
i suppose word press have a weekend too.
hardly anyone here seems to have much understanding of the internet though.
Concern Troll is concerned.
I think you missed the point.
Oh, he has a point. He wears a fedora so it doesn’t get sunburned.
‘…unsettling for people who don’t like change’.
Nice way to lay your superiority trip out while you write some condescending horseshit analysis from your ivory tower mind. It has NOTHING TO DO with people ‘not liking change’ you dumbass. It has to do with not wanting to be homeless. Not wanting to uproot your kids and have to commute even further from work because some trustafarian, staycationing, “i’m gonna be famous Ma, I swear!” ohiotuckyan flyover state morons wanting to fulfill their teenage fantasies about being ‘edgy’ and ‘non-mainstream’ are stuck in fucking neutral.
Rents are driven up and, like the ticks that hiptards are, local culture established through very hard work, immense self-sacrifice ( two words hiptards can’t stand ), and parents facing additional pressures. Yeah, how very noble of you to call them ‘people who don’t like change’. How gracious of you.
You’re a pretentious fuckstick. Your superficial, ill-informed, and vapid observations that, ultimately, set out to rationalize the locust like behavior of a bunch of spoiled suburbanites make that plain.
ticks: iow, you suck on the life blood of others and reply, if disturbed, only with a regurgitation of disease.
Props for the epic text wall. Don’t you have homework to do, or sewing, or doll making?

absolutely riveting lyrics: “freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom!”
And this band isn’t troubling themselves with little things like a memorable chorus, verse or bridge…It just sounds like every other miserable shit-bird indie band.
I’m pretty sure this song is featured in a commercial now. How uncool is that? It must have been gut-wrenching for the beardo to sell out to the man like that…
What advertiser in their right mind would buy/use that… thing? It’s garbage.
It didn’t stop Pomplamoose. See, it’s not really selling out to give up the rights to your song for advertising if the universal response to the song is “Turn that shit off.”
The concept of the hipster explained in two well-written article (hipsters are not overtly mentioned, but the allusions are uncanny nonetheless.)

I gotta tell ya – those scraggly homeless style beards the hipsters wear really make me feel a murderous rage. If nothing else I want to rip them off with my bare hands and force the hipster to swallow them whole.
Wholly-organic brillo.
Do not mess with Windsor Terrace!

all those hipsters come off as quite sweet and quickly able to see the guy is making fun of them, unlike, say the jock douches in borat.
because, you can say what you like about hipsters, but most of them have graduated college and aren’t stupid. that’s one of the things that annoys people about them.
hey dh – what sort of music are you into btw?
bit of fiddy, metallica, slayer, led zeppelin country, maybe some ramones?
A Nazi comparison, an anti-jock rant, and sneering at perfectly good bands when we weren’t even talking about music. Are we all quite sure this guy isn’t just doing a “Borat” himself and trying to see how many clichés he can hit on the head?
I know, it takes a genius to pass a few years of film criticism school.
I think you may be getting hipsters confused with people that have certain style of dress. two different things, like pornography, no definition but ya know it when you see it.
relax, you take this blog waaaaaaaay to seriously!
Our friend ISSUE speaks like a Brit. (S)he’s not used to the idea behind this (or, I suspect, any American) blog. Having a “bit o’ fun” with us. Looking for a chat, like the Spaniard from a while ago I believe.
Not sure about that. “College” and “jock” suggest an American. Like you, though, I’m not sure he/she is being serious.
Guy trying to hire educated people here. Got any with an engineering degree? Because I sure am tired of the English and Art History Majors darkening my door. BTW, I don’t care who you are. If you don’t show up in a suit, or if you have a visible tattoo or piercing, you have no chance of getting a job. Graduating college and having a useful degree are two entirely different things. College graduate or not the hipsters I see are indeed, stupid. Show up looking like that expecting me to take you seriously. Yes, they are very stupid indeed.
it’s ok. i don’t want to sell boilers door to door for a company is the asshole of queens. take your engineers from second tier colleges.
i think your confusing intelligence with skills
which i’m afraid to say marks you out as more stupid than the average hipster.
By your definition, is it “intelligence” or “skills” that one would need in order to have a basic understanding of how the job market works?
Bullshit. You gave yourself away, hiptard. Hipsters annoy people with their shitty attitudes, annoying personalities (a book could be written about why people dislike hipsters) and by being full of shit (like you). Education? Hipsters tend to hold degrees I could earn in my sleep. Many of them don’t have what it takes upstairs, because if they did then they’d realize the $$$$$$ they (actually, their parents) spent on their L.A. degree won’t buy them any talent.
er, with a history degree it’s possible to work in many areas.
the subject isn’t as important as the potential. i employ 20 graduates a year for jobs that pat $100k after a few years.
i’ll take an arts graduate from a good college over someone with a degree in business from a second tier college any day.
welcome to reality.
i’m sorry you messed around at school, weren’t that bright to begin with and went to some no-mark college and got an IT degree. now hurry up and bring me a new blackberry charger i have i need to go claim my innovation bonus.
Does your successful hipster ass use that blackberry to visit diehipster.com to hang out with us Neanderthals? Or are you too busy being innovative?
no i use blackberry figuratively – i’m more of an iphone guy. lol.
So get me my coffee and make it snappy!
Ah – a mindless follower of fashion, then.
just because someone did not go to college for an English an art history degree does not make them dumb. In case you haven’t noticed that people who don’t go straight to college but become apprentices etc tend to make more money than a college grad because of the hands on experience then most college grad don’t get until after college. I am a college student and I looked this up for myself. I am also a native and I don’t like the fact that you assume that we on here are not college students. It may be some what true that people with degrees make more money, but for the most part it does not. Most high paying jobs require experience in which the college credit don’t count unless you do internships, but most is not paid. hipsters and other people who are not from a big city move to them expecting some sort of big break in the careers that they are studying or interested in, they don’t know that people who made it big or is making a lot of money had to build connections for a few years before breaking out. These hipsters just come to a big city with college debt, and don’t work at least part time jobs to help themselves get on their feet so they could make something of themselves. Instead they think working non paid internships will cut it, without even working a job that pays because they feel that its them as “Artist” need time to express themselves. What about earning your keep, we may talk about how we don’t like hipsters and yuppies on here but I can assure you most of us are either going to school, working. So stop it.
I don’t think you are even going to bother to read that paragraph.
Er, apparently no one taught you about capitalization, grammar, and punctuation wherever you went to school. Er, it’s basic stuff.
He’s using bad grammar ironically.
and yes – i often give jobs to hipsters because they tend to be creative people who have ideas which in business i can use to MAKE MONEY.
having said that. you’ll be pleased to hear i’m blocking myself from this site.
i’m wasting far too much time here.
it’s just not worth it.
as a last word i’ll leave you with the story of an italian guy named tony from bensonhurst who loved his local friends, thought manhattanites were pretentious douches (and some of them were, it has to be said), but slowly he realized he wanted to prove himself and be amongst them but still remain true to himself and it became clear this was possible.
in the sequel he then become a professional dancer and made money wearing leggings!
dh – you are our tony, except your at about 20 minutes into the movie right now. the commenters are your bensonhurst crew. put that humor and writing to good use and you could beat the hipsters at their own game.
this is probably the only sincere thing i’ve written since friday. good luck.
Tony italian from bensonhurst. sounds like stereotyping to me.
See you in a bit with your new screen name.
Lemme guess, it was Stevie?
Ya gotta love the string of self-replies, too.
I suspect it’s a habit from when he was in high school and the anime club used to beat him up after class. If he surrounded himself with enough Star Wars action figures and talked for them, he could pretend that he had friends.
We should be so lucky.
Says the Asian vampire who dropped out of Computer Science to go to a shitty art college and dropped out of that for some mail-order Graphic Design degree.
Y’know Stevie, if you hadn’t spent all your youth trolling Craigslist with your anally-retentive trolls, you might be a top programmer by now making $100k.
Then again, maybe I should be jealous that I wasn’t in a garage band at the youthful age of 35.
Newsflash, many of those hiptards playing the role of “occupier” are the very people I’m talking about. If they were clocking six figs after a few years, then they wouldn’t be occupying (and no, those hiptards didn’t lose jobs — they’re out there because they were under the impression a job was promised to them after getting their degree in ‘art theory’). Hipsters find history to be too boring. They may like “art history” as it goes with their bullshit image and can use what they’ve learn to appear cool to others.
Given the hipster track record with honesty on DH (and IRL), I’m calling BULLSHIT on your entire post and calling you out as the lying sack of hipster shit you are.
“…but most of them have graduated college and aren’t stupid…”
When the minimum grade given away these days is an A, anyone can graduate college particularly with grueling subjects these twits gravitate to such as “Homoeroticism in Icelandic Eddas”, so yes, most of them are stupid.
At a minimum they are ignorant and ill educated, as well as talentless and lack the discipline actually to work to perfect a craft to become the “artists” they pretend to be. That is what annoys people, in addition to their overweening and undeserved smug self-satisfaction.
AS has been said, they are over-aged, over-grown toddles expecting the latter day equivalent of a fruit cup and participation ribbon for their rhetorical finger-paintings.
Hipsters = those dorks who wanted to be the popular jock douche in high school.
Truth be told, the only reason those hiptards came off as “sweet” was due to the presence of a camera. Fauxhemians are attention whores by nature, so you know when a camera is rolling, they’re going to be more contrived than usual (unless they’re about to get stomped out, then it’s “push Meghan in front of me to distract my adveraries while I make a speedy exit”).
Q: Why did the hipster run down the road?
A: Apparently, he’s in a hurry to murder Sharon Tate.
Hey “Shut ‘em down”, you better file a complaint against Rockstar Games and the guy who uploaded this video. I was hesitant to purchase Max Payne 3, but since I’ll be able to shoot and kill hipsters, I’m buying it! Fucken’ bang!
Jesus!

Ha! Another hipster’s freedom comes to an end.
Yeah, and that’s so typical of the messed up parenting they get. Dad’s a soft touch and Mom’s worried about pressuring her adult toddler too much.
This is really simple: Unless you’ve become medically disabled in some way sport, you get 60 days, Max, back at the ranch. That’s IT. Out you go, job or no job, apartment or no apartment. Don’t whine at me about how you might be homeless blahblah blah. You get 60 days.
Have to get two jobs? Then you get two jobs.
Does that interfere with your play time?
Too bad, so sad, your Dad.
P.S. You don’t want me for a landlord, because I’ll be the angriest landlord you’ve ever had and I’ll arbitrarily raise the rent not to mention forcing you to do your own repairs and upgrades.
I love you, but your adult now and you’re going to live like one or deal with the repurcussions of not doing so all by yourself. Good luck.
THAT’S parenting.
Allowing your kids to stay dependent past the age of past the age of 18 when they are not disabled, is doing them no favors whatsoever. None. It weakens them, makes them soft, and then makes them suckers and easy prey to con men and thugs dressed up as their own peers.
Sorry, but I think that mother and father are way, way off base. One of the primary purposes of parenting is to guide life to maturity so that it can guide itself and have a chance at fulfilling its own natural path.
Mother birds will physically push that baby bird out of the nest if it refuses to leave on its own ( and some will be stubborn ). If it refuses to fly and starves or falls to its death, momma accepts that and moves on. How much more so should ‘higher thinking’ mammals behave when it’s time to LEAVE the nest. That means NOT returning.
I agree to an extent. My dad was a harsh taskmaster. I worked for him in various capacities from the age of 9 until well into my 20′s.
I lived at home while attending school. My parents insisted. School was only 20 minutes away
so they couldn’t see the point in my paying rent.
But my a** belonged to my dad. I had rules to follow.. I was given an 1970 Olds 98 for transportation. They paid insurance during school. I did not pay for room and board.
The rules were: While I lived under their roof I had to help out. So I worked for my dad and held down a second job that paid real money. I had to bank my paycheck.Even when I finished my education I lived at home to save money. Two jobs and helped out at my dad’s place.
But I had to bank my checks. I had to let them know when I was coming home and where I was going.
I am know 50 years old. I have my own family. I would do the same with my son. The issue here is work, You can live under my roof rent free – but not if you’re going to use it as an excuse to p*ss your money away and party,
When I bought my house, i did my own laundry. The italian lady across the street was stunned as to how spotless my house was. I learned this from living at home. I learned how to scrub floors,clean windows, hang drapes wash dishes and make repairs by working for my dad. I was never late in paying a bill and I banked money every week (not including my 401K.
Hell i even swept the sidewalk once a week like some old polish woman.
Living at home is not bad if the rules are strict.
Somebody posted in the comments on that article how it’s always white baby-boomers lives that we hear about in Shakespearean tragedy style. You never hear about the struggles of some black or latino family, trying to pay the rent with two jobs, living in a smaller one bedroom than a bunch of hipsters.
Face it baby-boomers, you failed.
Brings me back memories of the late 80s/early 90s when I used to hang round the Village every weekend. How I would sit in a cafe and people watch, listening to the conversations of people whose lives I could never afford (this was before the Internet and laptops and people had no choice but to talk to each other – poor things).
The best bit was listening to the NYU sorority girls comparing notes on they guys they dated. I really couldn’t believe the things I heard. “I went out with Craig last night and we went to [some fucking expensive] restaurant and we went back in his [expensive car] … and … and … and… but I don’t know if I want to sleep with him yet. Maybe Tony or Jim or..” and so on. Basically, they were listing all they guys who were taking them out and paying serious money for dates (more than I made in a week). If they guy asked for sex, he’d be threatened with a date-rape lawsuit.
(Hell, if I paid that kind of money for a date, she’d better blow me while swinging upside down from the chandelier and covered in whipped cream)
Basically, these bimbos had their men by the balls and could demand anything they liked. Meanwhile, they were blowing every African descendent, band member and New-Age guru they could get their lips around – as well as each other. Until final year that is. That’s when the biological clock starts ticking and it’s time to trap some nerdy wasp finance major who just got accepted for Price Waterhouse.
And that folks is how the parents of hipsters are made. Since this was just over 20 years ago, those ladies were probably the kinds of parents whose kids are now returning home at 29, after completing their MFAs with $100k of debt, doing unpaid internships and having failed at everything in life.
I’m snorin’, I’m snorin’, I’m……….
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeee
From Wikipedia: “Contrasting with the dark lyrics of the song, the music, which was written first, is upbeat. Foster said, “It’s a ‘fuck you’ song to the hipsters in a way—but it’s a song the hipsters are going to want to dance to.”

Hmmm.. “in a way”.
Can somebody please beat this “shut ‘em down” douchebag to within an inch of his pathetic life? He got plenty of that on the playground growing up but obviously didn’t get enough.
Starting a blog about how much you hate hipsters is like the most hipstery thing you can do. Get a life and grow some ball hair.
