After yesterday’s “Milwaukee Represent” post of out-of-place Jasper standing in a train full of real Brooklynites in his unique hipster uniform which sets him apart from all 6,999,999,999 people on this planet – a reader from Boston sent me in this picture of a couple in their own costumes/uniforms on a train. This time it looks like they’ve just finished filming a scene in a Dick Tracy movie. And look at that beard of his on his smug face; it looks like he just dipped his chin in fresh dog shit. Notice the Asian woman in the foreground who wants no part of it and Mayor Bloomburg in the background yawning and saying “eh, nothing new, you remind me of the yups back in my hometown that I’ve ruined”
Unless you’re Indiana Jones nobody should be wearing those god awful Fedora hats
The Asian woman is thinking,”That blonde bitch is no bitch. That is a lady boy.”, and reminding herself that it’s not polite to stare at Fedora man’s cross eyes.
The old man’s thinking,”Fedora’s? Been there and done that Sport, now go get back on your hobby horse and come back dressed up as a cowboy. Either way, you’re still a five year old.”
The old man is yawning. He knows that hipster-hate is soooo boring. And he’s thinking to himself, “Why the fuck don’t these adolescent, whiny hipster-haters get a fucking life already and stop blaming others for their miserable, failed existence?”
Is hipster hate boring because transient costume wearing rent raisers don’t exist? Or is it because transient costume wearing rent raisers can’t take the criticism any more?
Not being one of the “other,” I can’t speak for the way they choose to dress in an open society or how much they are willing to pay for their homes in a competitive housing market. Perhaps the answer is to force them all into their own ghetto, deny them employment opportunities, erect a food blockade and systematically starve them to death. Just a thought.
Yo Daddy, I don’t really think this out-patient treatment is working for you anymore…
Sounds good to me.
Yeah right. It is YOU that is boring (like every other hipster). It explains why you cornballs go out of your way to convince people how “quirky”, “whimsical” and “creative” you are. Miserable, failed existence? Sounds like a hipster to me. The true source of a hipster’s smug attitude and snarkiness is bitterness. The bitterness is rooted in (among many other things) being a lifelong failure. The tendency of you fauxhemians to “try too hard” is direct result of constant failure. I guess I’d be a snarky, smug little fucker too if I spent a good part of my high school years catching beatdowns from the Anime Club or Drama Club goth chicks.
Sorry, but I’m not a hipster. Your hipster-hate is misdirected. Unless you haz a sad that I criticized your impotent rage. Regardless, you and your mob are comical clowns who have lost control of your lives and need a scapegoat to justify your failures. You know who else needed a scapegoat to justify their failures?
Watch this commercial and then try to tell me with a straight face and honest heart that hipsters are not:
1) mundane
2) self-inflated
3) infecting
Oh, and btw….Levi’s?
Dear Misguided Levis,
You won’t get one damned dollar from me ever, ever again. I never thought it would be your company, of them all, that set me on that shit path of moralistic materialism, but damn if you haven’t gone and done it. Putting your customers in the untenable position of ‘damned if you do and damned if you don’t’. That’s unforgiveable. Bending to the purchasing power of a hiptard herd is one thing; totally redefining your company and its history around them is another.
Way to sweep the rest of the population under the carpet jagoffs. So, you’ll be supplying the hitler youth attire I take it?
DA FUCK???
Levis used to make pants for people that performed work. When did somebody drop acid in their coffee?????? SHIT!!!!!
That was then. Now, Levi’s actually has an entire line that it sells as “Ex-Girlfriend Jeans”.
Oh Christ, this is going to be EASY. Those people are MODELS in a COMMERCIAL. The Levis Corporation knows what gullible, sheeplike consumers you hiptards are. Your post reminds me of that Damon Wayons convict character from “In Living Color” who spouts polysyllables to appear intelligent. You still come off like an idiot whose parents are close relatives.
As mentioned before, the people in that commercial are MODELS. The average hipster is far more unpleasant to look at. I saw the pics of the “Bushwick Block Part” and the attendants . . . damn . . . talk about damaged DNA.
The dudes in that Levis commercial are most likely gay. I live in an area full of gay people and I can easily tell them apart from hipsters based on the fact that hispters can’t dress for shit, and that the gay dudes actually go to the gym and exercise. They actually look healthy. Hipsters don’t. Hipsters pull what little muscles they have either playing kickball or running from Cosplayers at some MangaCon trying to kick their asses.
As much as you like to imagine yourself (and the rest of your tribe) as looking like those MODELS in that Levi’s commerical, THIS IS WHAT YOU TWATWAFFLES ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE (and worse):
Now that we’ve established what hispters overwhelmingly ARE and not what you WISH them to be, one can safely say that hipsters ARE mundane. They are simply mundanes pretending to be “counterculture”.
Those of us who were or are part of a REAL counterculture can spot you fakes from a mile away. Those of us who’ve kicked it with or were REAL Bohemians can spot you phonies from a mile away.
Anyone REAL can spot your fake ass a mile away.
The ONLY thing more obvious than a hiptard’s fakeness, is the high level of sexual frustration common among Hiptard females (unless she’s cheating on him or has gone Lesbo behind his back).
In one way a hipster’s “mundaneity” manifests itself is the form of outright plagiarism. In terms of music, Velvet Cacoon & Crystal Castles are two prime examples or plagiarizing the music (in the case of VC, str8 up stealing the recordings) of more obscure artists. It sheds a whole new light as to why hipsters are all about obscure bands – it’s easier to rip off people off and get away with it.
Hipsters are self-inflated because only a self-inflated POS would do something that’s been done a million times before and act like he re-invented the fucking wheel. I the following video, Beardo Mc Bitchass pulls our coats to the concept of “applying fire to food”. Gee, I always called “applying fire to food” BBQ! Homo Erectus was doing that damn near 2 million years ago, yet this douchelord acts like he’s discovered fire. But no, hipsters are not self-inflated . . . LOL!
Hipsters also have an entitlement mentality out of this world. The bitch described in the following article is a prime example.
http://diehipster.wordpress.com/2012/04/12/like-yah-can-i-like-have-like-food-stamps/
There are others on this site who can tell you about the hiptard’s role in gentrification and how it adversely affects the people (ironically, the ones you hypocrites claim to care so much about). Of course, you could lurk more, but you hipturds are notoriously lazy.
Oh and Godwin’s Law (google it shit for brains) has been invoked for your Hitler Youth comment. Therefore, you automatically lose (something I’m sure you’re quite used to).
OH SHIT. Sorry FUWI. I thought I as replying to the hipster you were replying to. Not sober (yeah it’s no excuse) but I felt like throwing everything at the idiot. Thankfully you’ve already handled. It’s sorry for the friendly fire.
This fuckin’ tumor should drop dead right now wherever he is. What a pretentious schmuck. Like barbecue is such a novel idea. You know what? How about putting the palm of your hand over that flame, you galloping gourmet wannabe!
“…haz a sad/”????
ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to out yourself retard. Finding that reflection harder to take everyday, huh?
Endless source of amusement….do continue….wait!! let me go get a slice of pizza off my organic pizza tree, which i grew myself from heirloom seeds, of course….
LOL
Don’t worry. The little fucker isn’t old enough to shave yet.
No scapegoat is needed. Hipsters are the personification of failure.
“You know who else needed a scapegoat to justify their failures?”
Not sure. A few people, I guess. Are you referring to some of the losing athletes in the Olympic cycling road race? They seemed to be scapegoating the other teams, complaining about their strategy.
That’s not even a real fedora. That’s one of those horrible early Sixties-era ones. The original style came out circa 1964 in a desperate attempt to revive the hat industry, and that short brim just made it worse. I for one don’t have problems with real fedoras, because they do what they need to do: they keep the rain and sun off you, and look decent with a good overcoat. These, though, scream “I went to Target today!”
I new Fedoras were OVER (Portlandia anyone?) when my friends 11yr old wanted one for his birthday.
I HATE FEDORAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that’s a face you just want to punch over and over and over….
in all seriousness yes every one of us wants to haymaker a bearded turd such as this back into the stone age and I sometimes have to literally stop myself walking, remind myself to breathe, and go through the thought process of “no I have a family, I can’t afford to get involved in any legal/criminal trouble, these scarved locusts are physically and mentally weak and he may actually die or have a heart attack or something etc etc… But what if I was to play “Take the Money and Run” and calmly remove the glasses from his silly face and stomp them into dust? I’m guessing this would be considered assault and/or robbery. Anyone out there with a real answer to this question? What criminal charges and penalties would I actually face if I were to do this? Anyone knowledgeable in NYC law please let me know before I develop a cancer from holding back this very real rage
Yup, assault and petty larceny. Assault is actually not touching the person, that would be battery. Assault is when you scare someone. Being that these punks would be scared if you even looked at them, it is just better to try to control yourself as hard as that may be. Have you noticed how many more cops are patrolling Wburg, the village, and other hipster/yuppie/tourist meccas now? I have never seen so many pigs in those neighborhoods. They know that these retards need protection from the natives. BTW, I am an attorney born and raised in NYC.
What is freedom worth? They will do whatever it takes to come here and change all that is Brooklyn. All that freedom asks from you is to pummel this guy’s face into oblivion with the small risk of arrest, but that is only if youre captured.
The beat cops in Williamsburg are the shortest cops I’ve ever seen. It’s actually funny.
It’s because Kelly doesn’t want to intimidate the hipster douche nozzles.
Nah. It’s just smart allocation of resources. Send your weakest-looking cops into the neighborhoods with the weakest-looking residents!
Here’s what I’ve heard…
You act in self-defense. People are animals and all animals are prone to attack when you accidentally stick your finger in a wound. If you know where his wounds are by mistake, it increases the odds self-defense will be necessary for you.
There’s an accident causing you to bump into him or him into you. Either way, you thought you were being assaulted and acted in self-defense.
He assaults someone near you and you are acting in their defense. Especially true if an elder, woman, child, or disabled person nearby.
There’s also the alternative of simply letting him know that one day, he too will die and no amount of money, prestige, clothing, or poor parenting will save him from that fate. You beating one up won’t save you from it either.
Try to be friendly, that’s all. No matter what he says, smile and say condescendingly,”I’m sure your parents are very proud of their little boy.”. Or, no matter how close to your own age they are just say,”Did you say something, Son/Sport/Kiddo?”. Repeat this if necessary in case his hearing is impaired and you don’t know it. But be cautious; he may take such offense that he tries to slap you.
Assuming he doesn’t start crying first.
Personally, I think they’re far too easy to ignore than to bother one drop of sweat on them. Getting physical with them is a little like saying they are worth it on some level. They’re not. You would so soundly whip the average hipster’s ass that there’d be little satisfaction in it at all. No challenge, no test of your own strength and skills, etc etc. A heavy bag would put up more resistance.
If one of these cumstains gets at you, give a low, gutteral growl at them. He’ll understand it on a primal level, and I’d say that would send nearly 95% of them shitting themselves with fear of you even if it’s just wondering about your sanity. Which you may also find amusing. Imagine him panicking to his room mates about it: “Bro, some guy GROWLED at me today!!”. They’ll never believe him and the more he insists, the weaker he’ll look.
If it looks like he’s with a chick and your own ego can handle it, pretend to be his jilted gay lover.
“Todd! Todd! Darling…I…I…I don’t understand this! You told me you were past using women as beards. That you weren’t going to pretend to be straight anymore. We just ADOPTED A CHILD Todd, how could you DO this?!!…What? Don’t look at HER! Stop trying to pretend Todd!! What are you going to tell OUR CHILDREN now?!!”
Or, maybe more productively…start a side business advertising to these beta’s to teach them how to street fight. No classes, no studios. More like a personal trainer at their place or yours. Seeing how weak they are though…that might make you angrier in some way, so now we’re back to: They’re simply not worth proper rage.
Sorry for the long answer but I do feel a bit of sympathy for your frustration and think distraction is crucial when you’re pissed. Don’t swallow the anger. Tape a fedora and scarf to a heavy bag and go at it for a couple of minutes. One handed, of course. You have to make the fight fair for him.
Good lord. They’re possessed by Annie hall. Someone get me a crucifix and some Manhattan Special.
I was particularly annoyed with his “Well, it’s ABOUT TIME you acknowledged me” expression.
That’s exactly what I got from this photo as well – the smug sneer is just crying “well, what TOOOOOOK you so long? Don’t you see my beard, Buddy Holly glasses, and fedora??”
You can tell that this guy is one of those people that has gone too long since the last time he got his ass kicked, and is in serious need of a reminder.
I wouldn’t ennoble him with an asskicking. A good solid green loogie hawked right in that smug face makes more of a statement, especially as he cried about how he was going to tell his daddy on me.
He’d just be bragging about his newfound street cred. Now if you were to get him in a headlock and shave that stupid beard off…..THAT would inflict some real suffering.
hahahhahahahahhahahahhahhahahahah–you made me laugh, i like you!
I can’t imagine waking up in the morning and making a conscious decision to dress like this before you leave your home.
The Asian woman is deciding which one of those wastes of space to flatten first.
Name: Nathan
Age: 36
Hometown: East Twizzlestick, Ohio
Occupation: artisanal popsicle maker/film director (read: participated once in the 48 hour film festival)
What’s in his coat pockets: 1985 Sony Walkman, cruelty-free fruit rollups
You left out a vintage troll doll key chain and pet rock.
.
And it’s not “maker it’s “curator”. Get with the program
Last weekend my kid accompanied me on my usual day of errands. We stopped at a farmer’s market around the corner from us.
We bought a few things. One Caleb and Meghan (Their sign read “Curated Produce”)- in their depression era garb – sold us a few “curated” plums (the kid wanted them) for a price way too high for something that is in season.
So i give a plum to my kid. While he’s eating it, Caleb begins his diatribe about farm to table, organics, etc. My kid keeps eating. Caleb keeps flapping his gums – curated tomatoes, curated, zucchini, yada yada do.
My kid sees their sign. He interrupts and says, “doesn’t curated mean you look after or take care of things?”
Caleb nods his head.
“so your a farmer, right?”
“Oh it goes wayyyy beyond farming..”
“how”?
“well we…ummmm..”
(kid looks at plum) “excuse me sir, but do you put stickers on your plums? Cuz the supermarket does that” (looks in bag) HEY! they all have stickers!!! Look dad!”
(caleb) …uh…well.. I’m busy…I have customers…
Hey dad – look! those are the same boxes we saw at the whole produce terminal in Philly!”
(Meghan..to me) Excuse me, but why is your kid so mean to my boyfriend?” He has no manners!”
We leave and track down the market manager. The place is state run and is very strict about allowing onlylocal farmers into the market.
Oh…their vintage volvo was parked behind their stand.
It had New York plates.
Not a good sign for New Jersey.
Good sting!
Says a lot about these dipshits, when then can get the whole olde tyme, organic, curated shtick down but forget to remove the stickers off their “not-so-street-smart” scam.
Excellent. Just excellent. I wish I could have been there to see the look on the faces of the hiptards. It just speaks volumes about the dishonesty and lack of morals among hipsters.
Yeah, curated is another term that has taken off in the past couple of years that annoys the shit out of me. It’s up there with local, sustainable, organic etc. Also, mixologist. Fuck that.
Finish the story or face the bullshit alarm.
Sorry, T. There’s nothing else. We had to leave for swimming practice and I had other stuff to get done. No BS – really.
But if it means anything, there were a number of people who have tried this stunt – not only hipsters (although I think they were the only ones. All the others were South Philly guido types).
There is one guy from Philly touting hearth-baked artisanal bread. It was the same stuff the supermarkets bake. He buys the frozen uncooked loaves, proofs them and bakes them. I bought a loaf it was almost raw on the inside. The telltale sign was the pattern of dots on the bottom of the loaf.
I’m not surprised in the slightest, Pat, and I see enough of that elsewhere. Some of the local “art & craft shows” out here are touring Regretsy entries, with the same half-assed pseudo-steampunk crap purchased from Alibaba.com and sold as “artisan”.
I don’t do craft shows anymore. Thes etsy types occasional get my wife to make a regretful purchase. Bt if it’s not a juried show, I don’t bother.
Oh..I found this. Something tells me you won’t see these guys selling their wares on Etsy.
http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/
I love how the term “curator” is used as a defense for hoarding. Sorry, but the father of a friend of mine was the curator of the American Museum of Natural History. He got the spot because he was able to prove why the museum collected and displayed the items it had, as well as preserving them so they were accessible to both the general public and degreed professionals with a need to view them for scientific research. That, by the way, is one of the reasons why every New Yorker should be proud as hell of the AMNH, because it’s one of the best museums on the entire planet due to the vision and talent of its curators. Some shithead selling plums for $5 should be sued for false advertising for using the word “curator” in any context other than noting that he was going to be a poster child for anencephalism.
My mom curated three kids. And she never made cupcakes (she does have a mustache, though,,,,hey,,,she’s Italian).
Sicilian, right?
Actually they have a cephaloanal occlusion – their head is so far up their ass they need to yawn to see the sun.
You’re right….EVERY GODDAMN THING IS CURATED. It used to be you put on a fashion exhibition. Now you curate one. You once edited a website, which sounds too functional and unglamorous. Now it’s curated. And it’s damn-well not good enough to grow vegetables when you can curate them.
I had a sticker collection when I was a kid….I guess I was a curator all along.
Heh heh! The Art is Anal kids definitely got “curated.” Heh Heh!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OUR ONCE GREAT CITIES BECOME PUSSIFIED
YOU START TO ATTRACT ATTENTION SEEKING TRANSPLANT PIECES OF SHIT LIKE THE TWO PEOPLE IN THIS PICTURE
GO AND TRY THAT ATTENTION SEEKING BULLSHIT IN DETROIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS
GO AND TRY THAT ATTENTION SEEKING BULLSHIT IN NUEVO LAREDO MEXICO AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS
Well, there’s a good side. It may not be happening in New York, but someone in Dallas has realized that robbing hipsters is both fun and profitable.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/102445461/DPD-Reports-Greenville-Avenue-Robberies-August-7-2012
Of particular note: the guy being held up crying “Just don’t take my phone. That’s all I ask.” Of course he wants the phone: how else can he tweet about his robbery immediately afterwards?
LOL!
What I need to add is that Good Records, the site of this robbery, is hipster central in the Dallas area during its annual “Free Records Day”. God Himself help you if you need to get through Lowest Greenville on that Saturday, because the whole road is full of beards and fedoras piloted by people who were never taught to look both ways before crossing the street. My wife had to get through there last year, and she understood why I regularly quote Hunter S. Thompson with “Tear gas slaps at the problem. Nerve gas solves it.” when I drive by.
The common denominator in all these photos is that the hipster guy has a girl who supports his pansy behavior. I am convinced if females did not approve of dainty hipster men they would all cease to exhist.
Clearly, mental illness in the USA is now normal while healthy people are being shunned by masses of sick… Hipsters remind me of the wicked witches flying monkeys in the movie Wizard of Oz. There is doubt in my mind that hipsters are deadly destructive.
And I know just where the insanity and stupidity is emanating from: Network TV. Watch any of the network “news” or “news oriented” shows – you’ll see overly-dressed talking heads spewing empty, shallow bullshit that passes for deep analysis. That’s the thought processes these hip/yup twits and twats emulate. The entire world must be simplified and homogenized so that they have only absurdly simple choices to make. Long-range planning seems more and more to be “where will I have lunch today?”. And like one of the OPs so astutely pointed out, they’re individualism goes no deeper than Target today. Fucking non-sentient turds.
I didn’t know that level of smugness was actually attainable.
The real deal, especially where NYC is concerned, is what “I Miss the Old NYC” pointed out….there are MEGA cops patrolling hipster zones and newly gentrified hipster/yuppie zones. It’s one thing and one thing only…PROTECTING INVESTMENTS. Not for the sake of humanity, but for profit. These jackoffs are all occupants of the wack ass condos and customers of cyber coffee shops and bars.
In 2004 the courts gave all the green lights and go aheads to developers to go nuts and build. As we’ve all seen, they did just that. They’ve crammed ugly pieces of shit in every lot from Bed-Stuy to Greenpoint to Avenue C to Hell’s Kitchen to Harlem. I witnessed this first hand working in construction during that period. Why the out of place lame designs? Ask the hipsters and Eurotrash that designed them. They wanted to be “kooky” I guess. That’s another rant all together.
Back to the point…..the cops posted up on every corner is to protect the investments aka “hipster transplant limp sissy men and OMG girls”. They will pay any rent and have parental backing for life. It’s weird how no midwest or suburban dudes that lift weights, want to do real labor or have pride in being independent from their folks come to Brooklyn. It’s mainly the clowns we see everyday. The angel hair pasta arms and legs idiots with tattoos of a toaster oven, a chipmunk or a bike wrench. The Halloween every day of the year people. The hangout with 20 new pals in the park and at newly discovered Fort Tilden dunes people. Yeah you guessed it….the hipsters and their transplant affiliates.
The cops are there to protect them because they are “CASH COWS”. They pay for all the gentrification. They fill in the condos and they fill in the old rundown hoods that are now revamped to be some pseudo art zone. I checked out Bushwick Open Studios and it was appalling. Maybe 10% of what I saw was quality or showed true passion and skill. The rest was pure trash. Talentless nobodies dressing up and playing the role.
ATTENTION JERKOFFS: YOU CAN’T FAKE TRUE SKILLS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP!!!! IT’S NOT FOR SALE! YOU GOTTA LEARN IT, EARN IT AND ACHIEVE IT!!!!!
Angryeel, I co-sign every word!
well-said
Well put.
In Portland, the city let Occupy camp for months in a park downtown, but the cops went in an hour or two after midnight to keep Occupy out of Jamison Park in the Pearl District – wouldn’t want the yups to see anything that might disturb them.
Although Last Thursday has been getting more police presence because of hipster misbehavior – mostly drinking in public and sending recycled PBR onto the lawns of the neighbors….
I’m still amazed and appalled that it took this long, but I know the mayor cries like a four-year-old every time someone points out that blocking off Alberta like that is a safety issue. (We have the same problem in Dallas along Greenville Avenue with the fratboys and other SMU brats. Enough residents got tired of cokeheads crapping in their front yards that they’ve made most of the cross-streets resident parking only, which makes the SMU drunkard crowd angry enough to get involved in local politics. Well, not really: they settle for making death threats to the people who got the RPO zones set up in the first place.)
So, Mr. Eel, you’re against property rights? Capitalism? Profits? Freedom of expression? Freedom in general? It seems to me that you cannot cope with reality, and have decided to blame others for your failures in life. So your answer is…what? Screaming at your enemies, ineffectually, on a hate-blog? How’s that working out for you? Good?
LOL oh good gawd your feeble attempts at insightful commentary are amusing…
No, I totally understand. Your gf broke all the mirrors on her way out the door?
Keep swinging Chuckles. Keep trying. You’ll knock it out of the park one day, I’m sure.
Better than it is for you…
Is it just me, or does Yo Daddy sound like yuppie trash? I like the moniker, trying to sound “down” when you are some punk ass trust fund baby who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. What it seems to us is that you and your ilk would have never been in the hood before it was gentrified because your BMW would be jacked, and you would be dumped somewhere in the East river.
It looks like the older gentleman to the right in the pic is so bored by this dynamic duo that he’s about to fall asleep.
Anyone go to a Polish restaurant in the past few days? It’s delicious, everyone should!
Polish bakeries are great. I recommend Ponczki (pronounced “ponch-ky”), big glazed doughnuts with fruit filling, awesome with a coffee. The cheesecakes and torts are must-haves!
Luckily in Pittsburgh where I’m at now…we have no shortage of polish food. And yeah…it is really damn good! One of my favorite things to do is go to the Bloomfield Bridge Tavern on wednesday’s for Drum N Bass nights there (it’s actually one of the longest drum n bass nights in the country…been there since the 90s) and chow down on some pierogis. Cheap, but they serve 10 of them in one order.
Primanti’s is where it’s at though. They kill it with their sandwiches. Meat, cole slaw, french fries, tomato…all of that on one sandwich. My boy used to work there back in the day. I asked him to hook me up with a sausage, bacon, egg, and pastrami Primanti’s sandwich. To this day, it’s still the best thing I’ve ever had. Primanti’s can actually be found in some locations in the Northeast and in Florida. I guess it’s pretty popular.
I’ve always gone to the Polish delis and restaurants. It makes me so sad that one by one, they’re going away. I remember when they were on the LES-the 24 hour Polish diner was a great spot. I did alot of food shopping for fresh pierogi and kielbasa at the Polish delis in Greenpoint and LES. I used to walk from one Polish deli to the next in Greenpoint, then stop for a hot bowl of red (or white) barszcz and golumpki at any of the restaurants when I finished my shopping.
It pisses me off when I see yet ANOTHER pretentious hip/yup foodie joint with astronomical prices, overblown descriptions of the food and microscopic portions open up there. They don’t even come close to how good the Polish places are.
Had a platter of a golumpki (stuffed cabbage) and some pierogies from the Euro Dish cart Friday for lunch…
I know that this has already been said here a few times but my immediate thought when I just saw this picture was how perfect the juxtaposition is between “Indiana Ethan’s” smug look of satisfaction that someone is taking his picture TOTALLY making his dress-up day worth it, and the two normal people in the photo not only being unimpressed but “mayor bloomberg” (that’s fantastic DH) is bored to the point of yawning in Meghan’s face and the chick at the bottom looks to be annoyed almost to the point of anger.
Yet these two costumed try-hards are as usual completely oblivious to the people around them and inside their tiny limited minds think they are somehow changing the world.
And they may actually be changing the world. But certainly not for the better…
Wow I can’t believe how irritating that idiot’s fucking mug is. The beard, the fedora, and oversized frames are like a trifecta of infuriating douchebaggery.
It is amazing, right? This guy has a face that is impossible to not want to smash with a shovel.
It should be noted that Bloomburg, is NOT a native NYer, he is part of the yuppie crowd. He’s actually from MASSACHUSETTS!
You know he probably said something to his lady? friend afterwards along the lines of “Oh, did you see the guy taking a picture of me? The NERVE of some people, here I am, just a regular joe average guy riding the train in the middle of summer in my summer scarf and hat. Like what is the big deal, man?”
But inside, inside he’s thinking
“Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! He looked at MEEEE! He really really looked at meeeee! Life is validated, I knew it would happen!”
Slightly related, I knew DH wasn’t exaggerating about how many fauxhemian companies use “Brooklyn” as a trademark, but here’s a beaut to confirm the thesis. Check out this review of How Creativity Works from “Brooklyn Industries,” a trustafarian fashion designer:
http://blog.brooklynindustries.com/?p=4533
Next, check out the overly twee photos on the blog in general, showing exactly how brilliant these people are:
http://blog.brooklynindustries.com/
Then, note that even Gawker.com is sick of the little fucktards and their cluelessness:
http://gawker.com/5933363/the-news-about-jonah-lehrer-has-not-reached-fauxhemian-brooklyn
And the punchline? Read the comments on that original post. I’ll bet $10 that these are gone by the morning.
http://blog.brooklynindustries.com/?p=4533#comments
Keep up the battle, DH. The war may be won one of these days after all.
Is it just me, or do his “designs” look like shitty knockoffs of shitty Chinese knockoffs?
Even the word “design” itself is becoming so difficult to say or read because of hipsters.
Tell me about it. Every idiot who puts out a Spoonflower fabric pattern and watches more than two episodes of Project Runway thinks that he’s a designer. (My wife used to love watching Project Runway, but mostly to see what happened to the winners. Amazingly, the most hipstery end up moving to Brooklyn “because Portland wasn’t working for me” (i.e. “even my fellow recto-cranial inversion cases were tired of me referring to myself in the third person royal”), and they’re couch-surfing within two years.
The bearded models. EW. EW. EW. EW. EW. EW. EW. EW. EW. EW. EW. EW. EW.
Once I began layering, splicing and reshuffling them, the shape intersections and overlapping made it even more visually interesting.
what a dumb bitch
AND, this Brooklyn Industries crap shop replaced a hardware store on Bedford Avenue and N. 8th Street –a store with things in it that people actually need. No self-respecting native walks around with a Brooklyn Industries man purse, sorry!
Hmmm I’m actually going to give his chick a solid insertion potential just based on the profile and princess-porn-star hair length.
She’s prolly crawling with diseases that don’t even have names yet. And who knows what her face looks like. Does she even have teeth?????
Meh, nothing a motorcycle helmet, flak jacket, and lots of optimism can’t fix. Remember the manchild cry-factor adds double bonus three star angry birds crushing bonus.
And then there’s this. The bastard spawn of a chainsaw and a fixie…

And get this RIDICULOUS article published by the NYT yesterday! Why do they insist on glorifying these idiots?
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/09/fashion/its-summer-its-friday-afternoon-party-time.html?pagewanted=all
“A man, his arm sleeved in tattoos, quickly lapped the pool and pulled himself out, water dripping as he twisted his mustache tips back into a perfect handlebar. ”
Sums up everything that’s wrong with the mass hypnosis called social culture.
Why do they glorify these idiots? Because it’s their only hope of staying in print.
IT was really important for the journalist to note that water was dripping off the hipster as he got out of the pool because for us uncivilized barbarians would never have thought put that together.
The writer sounds like she was about to drop to her knees and blow him.
And then there’s this:
““It’s like a getaway, more like a California vibe,” she said, lounging on a water bed covered in terry cloth. “A good way to unwind and chill.” ”
So, why not just stay in California and leave us New Yorkers and our city the hell out of it.
LOL!!!
It really is a shame about The New York Times as it was once a very good newspaper, and I used to regularly read it. But its taken on ultra-liberal , pro-gentrification and pro-hipster positions have really put me off it.
I can’t stand The Guardian either, mind you, yet I also cannot stand its exact opposite The Times.
I avoid it but whenever my boyfriend buys it on the weekends I notice that there is an odd, obsessive focus on gay and transgender issues. Like this NYT Magazine cover story I just noticed while skimming through it after clicking the above rooftop pool party story link. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/12/magazine/whats-so-bad-about-a-boy-who-wants-to-wear-a-dress.html
Yeah, the Washington Post is like that too. Baltimore Sun not so much, but still swings left a lot. I read mostly online news now.
I’ve always said that the Guardian and the Daily Mail, which tend to get held up as opposites, are actually the same thing. They’re both aimed at people who think they’ve been born a little more enlightened than the rest of us and can tell us how to live by sneering/ranting/crying until someone in power panders to them.
In the terms of this blog, the Guardian appeals to the hip/yup interlopers and the Mail to their suburban parents. People who, as we all know, would like to think they couldn’t have more different lifestyles and values, but are on the same side when it comes down to it.
“Make children eat rabbit food because everything else is a Muslim plot to give you cancer” or “make children eat rabbit food because everything else hurts polar bears”… the effect’s the same for non-pretentious people who just want to get on with their lives.

“We used to go out a lot at night, but we’re getting older, concentrating on our future,” said Reign Apiim Artis, 23, an artist wrapped in a bright sari, jewels dripping from her hair, a look she described as Paris, Tokyo and India meet Cleopatra.
Her name is NOT Reign Apiim Artis, she made it up because it sounds edgy. And she actually described her look as Paris, Tokyo, and India Meet Cleopatra……..die whore
Cleopatra or Godzilla?
Seems that big student load might not have actually all been for “music of the Atlantic Rim” Masters Degrees

I got surly when I saw the photo of that smug fuck. I’m originally from Wisconsin, but I moved of the state get away from these trust-fund twizzlers named Buffy and Jody 20 years ago. I had a job 3 days after moving here working Tool and Die shop. Ya, I got my ball broke for being from “Oshkosh” but it was all part of the banter. I went back to visit my father last month, the state of Wisconsin has one of the highest rates of rising unemployment in the nation, but get this; I heard a consent flow of radio advertisements aired and huge billboards displaying messages from companies looking to hire skilled machinists, machine programmers, CAD Designers and Tool and Die makers.
Oh Ya! I forgot all the real “Artisans” moved to Billyburg. Fucking Cock Nozzles!
Embarrassed to be from “there”.
These people have ruined my hometown!!! I recognize the Red Line from the station directory in the photo and I think I know where these hiptards are coming from. Oh, the horror! My city (sort of a cross between Brooklyn and Astoria, Queens, has been overrun by these smugsters. I can’t take any more. Recently, a totally unassuming restaurant run by a nice Mid Eastern family went under/sold out/was kicked out and it was replaced by a fauxhemian, sustainable, “look-I-discovered-Southern-cuisine-and-I’m-going-to-tell-you-all-about-it” joint.
One of their spinmeisters wrote to comment on the place and said that the “chefs” love to “talk about their ingredients.” Really. Doesn’t everyone go to a restaurant so you can hear the chefs talk about their “ingredients.” Oy.
‘Smugsters’. I like that! I’ll be using it often. Thanks.
I live in Providence and, like Boston, it is overrun with hipsters. Living near RISD/Brown, it is literally impossible to walk down the street without seeing a dozen smug, pretentious dickholes and their canklesaurus rexes with flabby half-sleeves.
Hey folks a serious question: How old do you think he REALLY is ?
Late 30s. His girlfriend should be embarrassed. He looks like a Sesame Street muppet of smug.
Oh, she probably will be, but not just yet. What I note is that the really cute hipster-hangers-on tend to be really late bloomers, and they’re still reeling from their treatment in high school. Five or six years earlier, they were mousy hair and braces, and they still can’t get used to any guy being interested in them, much less allowing them to do what they want. Just wait, though: she’ll get sick and tired of the electricity being turned off because Jasper was more worried about buying that pristine mint-on-card Star Wars figure set, and she’ll dump his worthless ass for someone who isn’t using her as arm candy to compensate for his obvious failings.
Oh, I almost forgot. Odds are that she’ll dump him because she’s the one working all day to pay for “their” mutual business, because he has to stay at home to manage it while she’s putting in double shifts at the supermarket to pay the bills. That’s bad enough, but between his watching television all day on Mondays and Tuesdays, going out to “talk business” with his buddies and charging his single-malt scotches to her card on Wednesday, and sneaking off to fuck art show groupies the rest of the week, we can only hope she comes to her senses soon.
She’s probably cheating on him. Probably getting banged by some Irish dude (the kind that almost causes her smug boyfiend to lose control of his bladder) from Southie.
47, not a day younger.
LOL before I even read to the end of the post I saw that asian chick and said to myself “that’s the average DH reader…she’s thinking ‘i can’t even ride the subway any more without having to look at these fucking scarf in summer, groucho marx novelty store nose, mustache and glasses wearing, noodle armed clowns’ “….
Oh boy…ladies and gentlemen!!!! Youll LOVE this one!! There is a comments section!!! ATTACK!! http://gothamist.com/2012/08/09/state_fair.php
“ex-pats of the Midwest”
Jeez, they’re real “world” travelers now.
I like a good, powdered sugar waffle whatever myself but none of it has ever reminded me of Minnehahahamosquito land. And were I in NYC, which boasts some of the best food from around the world in one city I hear, the last damned thing I’d be looking for is sugar coated Wonderbread from the midwestern midway.
No woman living in the pre-60s world would wear her hair down like that, ridiculous. Get a brush & learn to bun it up, lady. His look is idiotic, hysterical!

I just love the assorted violence fantasies. Do any of you ever act on them, or is it all bluster and junior-high bravado? A means of seeking gratification without actually doing anything? Why publicize your group therapy sessions? Pure narcissism or something more? If “real” Brooklyn is inhabited by thugs and cretins like you, I’d say its demise is overdue.
Pussy
Ah, someone’s still smarting over getting the shit beaten out of him every day in high school by the anime club, isn’t he?
LMAO.
Do we have a record for filling in the highest amount of the bingo card in the smallest number of comments?
diehipster.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/look-what-i-found/
You hit #2 (“you’re jealous”), #5 (“making jokes about violence is nasty and horrid”), #13 (“if you don’t actually go around beating people up, which I wouldn’t complain about at all, then you’re a hypocrite”), #20 (“you won’t make a concrete difference, therefore you shouldn’t be expressing an opinion”), #21 (“you should be grateful for gentrification, because you were all living in a ghetto”), and #23 (“if you criticise a profitable business, even one based on a Mickey Mouse market, you’re a dirty communist.”)
Come back when you have something original to say. Actually, don’t.
“Come back when you have something original to say.”
That’s hilarious, coming from a site that specializes in repeating the same lame, ineffectual threats and violence fantasies over and over again to an audience of braying jackasses. But don’t let me stop you. Soon, very soon, if you maintain a united front, you will rid Brooklyn of your enemies. Be strong, hipster-haters! Be strong.
Hey dipshit, the “threats” are not real. You should be thankful for that. The fantasies are what they are — fantasies. It’s called VENTING. Count your blessings little bitch. Be glad it’s all words on a screen because we all know you aren’t ready for physical confrontation of any kind. I’ve yet to see a male hipster who WASN’T a physical coward and a pussy who talks shit when it’s safe, but will damn near be ready to suck your dick just to avoid a beating.
I STAY ready for one of you fools to give me a reason to ruin your whole fucking year. It’s ironic how well behaved and humble you are (as opposed to snarky and smug) when I’m mad-dogging/mean mugging/ice-grilling you. It is only when I’m on some “friendly/live and let live” shit that you pussies start showing out.
Like I said, be glad its all just words on a screen.
The hipturd pussy in that vid got off easy. Sure he was humiliated and reminded of the fact that he’s a bitch but still, he got off easy. If you notice, the girl showed more “balls” than the beta male pussies. Go figure.
My my. Do you jack off to those videos? I’ll bet you do, big fella.
Oh shit, the hipturd at a loss for words! LOL! Was that you in the video? Eh pussy boy? Or do you relate to that dude on a personal level? It looks like I struck a few raw nerves with the precision of a laser guided missile. Poor hiptards. LOL!
LOL
No matter what part of the country you go to, they all look the same. Look how the hiptard in the ironic Milwaukee ringer tee in Brooklyn and the Boston douchebag in this post look EXACTLY THE SAME. The same douchey LOOK AT MEEE smugness, the same greasy lice beard, the same dopey faces under those goggle thick eyeglass frames. They all wear that same carefully placed scarf, they must spend half an hour in the mirror arranging that scarf to get it to look exactly like every other hiptard’s(while ignoring the grease and lice in their gross beards).
While I agree about the homogeneity, I must say that the beard on this asshole’s face is surprisingly clean-cut. Probably a rare moment, though.
I simply can’t get over the expression on that guy’s face. I’ve been laughing non stop since this was posted, and probably reloaded it like 50 times to show people, all who’ve agreed that DH has found the Dick of the Century.
I can’t accept this guy is serious or that its real. I really simply can’t. It’s like a star made of irony collapsed under the weight of its own smugness to form the blackhole that is his existence.
And a little bit of good news: even Madison, Wisconsin is getting tired of hipster unicycle bullshit…at least when the unicyclists are selling pot. No picture, but how much do you want to bet that this guy has a twee little curled moustache?
http://host.madison.com/ct/news/local/crime_and_courts/unicyclist-allegedly-sold-pot-downtown/article_a8d45d88-e24a-11e1-8eb4-0019bb2963f4.html
Bwahahah, priceless.
Like they say on the job: “Stupid in public. Come with me.” The moron thinks because he’s on a unicycle he’ll just blend in. Excellent find!
What a fuckin” tool.
5 months on- someone correctly pegged this is a Red Line train. They are visiting friends in Cambridge or Somerville, probably Cambridge as they seem older than the Somerville kids. Could be from the South End, but I think they drove up to park at Alewife and are riding in. Although there are plenty of hipsters inside 128, I don’t think these two are from anywhere north of the Triborough Bridge. Just a gut feeling.
