Here’s our buddy Matthew moaning in his underwear the other day as, well, you know – ART. I’m very happy for him; he got his much sought-after attention that day. Little do we know, but in a couple hundred years when we’re all gone, Union Square will most likely be re-named Matthew Square as a tribute to his legendary performances.
EDITED 11:45AM: It seems Matthew has removed this video from all possible sources on the Internet. It seems he loves attention – just not too much; especially in the form of criticism. If you throw him a buck while he’s acting like a retard in a subway station, it’s ok. But if you accuse him of being a talentless attention whore, he runs home with his tail between his legs. I thought he was a care-free spirit who loves whatever life throws at him?
Anyway, for those of you who want to know what happens in the video; Matthew is screaming like a mental patient in Union Square as performance art when a man who simply can’t take the stupidity walks up and interrupts his act by casually throwing all of Mathews toys around Union Square and just walks away while Matthew throws a tantrum.
As a native new yorker now living elsewhere, thank god someone took the first step to put an end to this.
I love how the calm New Yorker just went about his business. Didn’t say a word, but his actions spoke MUCH LOUDER than this attention-seeking douchebag Matthew. Like a parent teaching a kid that if you leave your sh*t around the house, one day it’s going to end up out in the yard. All of the “I love yous” didn’t faze the dude one bit. He made his statement which is “get the f*ck out of our park”
Kidult Matthew, undoubtedly parentally funded while persuing ‘performance art’, makes noise in his underwear in front of crowd in desperate plea for attention. Real New Yorker gets sick of seeing a Sunny D nourished transplant playing urban artist, and tosses his shit; flyover Megans whine “chill out mannn”. Same fauxhemian idiots applaud kidult Matthew after real New Yorker is gone. Real New Yorker walked as slowly as possible knowing damn well that flyover Matthew and the rest of the pussies eating it up don’t have the balls to step to him even as he’s kicking Matthews shit around in front of him;
Real New Yorker wins.
You mention a few terms such as “fauxhemian” and “Real New Yorker.” What Classifies a fauxhemian? And furthermore, what classifies a “Real New Yorker?” Someone full of hatred and negativity who will stop at nothing to ruin the enjoyment of others? If that’s what makes a “Real New Yorker” then I don’t EVER want to fall into that category.
Hans,
What did you expect to find on a website entitled “Die Hipster?” If you don’t like what you’re reading here, find something else. This is a site for those of us who were either born and raised here or came here from other parts of the country or the world to vent about how completely and utterly disgusted and pissed off we are at what has happened to our city at the hands of these useless, parentally funded pieces of shit.
What makes you think he is parentally funded. it’s sad that you all “came here” to bitch. It makes me sad for New York, it does. Luckily I was raised the right way here, apparently not so common
Then go away. You’re never going to change anyone’s mind, so pack up your shit and go. Clearly, this site is not for you.
aw.. but if you guys are allowed a site for hate, then we’re allowed the same platform to preach love. get over it.
Preach love? Are you serious? LOL! Since when does making excuses for some of some of the most pathetic, and most worthless featherless bipeds to ever exist in the history of this planet’s whole fucking biomass (from the Paleoarchean era to the current), equal “love”? GTFOH!
gosh FacetheFacts you are so sad. It’s not about making excuses.
That is matthew silvers stance.. please get some experience on what you’re talking about and look into it a bit more then you can “GTFOH”
i find it hilarious that your name is “FaceTheFacts” … maybe you should take a page out of your own book and face the facts. And I’m still haven’t had my questions answered
what makes a hipster?
what makes a bohemian?
what makes a fauxhemian?
Just Google it you twat. It’s not that hard y’know.
http://diehipster.wordpress.com/f-a-qs/
Read that first. To answer your question, look in the mirror. The first and third items in your little list describe you.
Don’t play coy. That’s a bitch move, and even though you ARE a bitch, you don’t have to act like one 24-7. I don’t put up with fools who are stupid enough to play coy with me offline. You’ll catch one in the jaw or on the nose. You’ll do nothing. If you dumb enough to run your mouth, you’ll learn quickly why it would be in your best interest to remain silent.
and thank you for spewing even more stupidity. you have no idea who i am, where i am from or what i do for a living. The way you label and assume about people just shows how truly twisted your sense of reality is.
The most glaring and obvious fact is that glaring and obvious facts totally escape your attention.
For example, at the top of this page is a FAQ where the creator of the site has had the good manners and taken the time to answer typical and repetitive questions such as yours. Perhaps you could, oh I dunno….go READ them and then back and ask a not so typical, not so butthurt question, eh?
Go on now little Ian, go on…you can do it!!
Fuck Matthew “Talentless Attention Whore and pussyboy” Silvers. Fuck you too. I know exactly what I’m talking about. Go do something worthwhile like washing that stink pussy of yours. Even the flies ain’t trying to fuck with that.
your violence amuses me.as does your preconceived notions of who or rather, what you think I am. Continue to bask in your ignorance – it’s cute.
Oh for fuck’s sake, Molly are you really going to equate this shit stain with Christ? Check your meds, you may need to doublle your dose.
Funny how the hipster apologists assume that real New Yorkers don’t “get” Matthew’s “art.” Did it occur to you sanctimonious clowns that maybe there is a majority of people who live here that see Matt and others like him for what they are: tasteless, lazy greasespots who mock the ones who work to stay afloat in a city they respect? Of course not.
*LOL* How pathetic. The funny thing is, they demand they everyone accept everything, with literally no standards, as art, and then call us a bunch of jerks.
I don’t even live in New York, but Matthew is an idiot and would ruin my otherwise pleasant day seeing someone so starved for attention. He can volunteer at a soup kitchen if he wants to do some good, has plenty of time for it, but it doesn’t give much attention.
I really hope he doesn’t consider it art, holy hell. Blowing my nose as more poetic significance than him.
Aww, butthurt hipster can’t handle difficult slang like “fauxhemian”. The meaning should be obvious to those grounded in reality. Would it be better to say “false bohemian”?
You can’t figure those things out just by looking at them? Judging by your lack of ability to comprehend the English language, you must be a hipster. Hipsters seem to be under the impression that every single word has a vastly different magical meaning for each person, completely neglecting the logical fact that if every single person makes up their own definitions to words, only pandemonium can ensue. That’s what language is for, fucktards. To communicate, and it really only works if we use the DICTIONARY definition of the word, some feely-feely shit you made up. Language is a tool, not a piece of canvas for your to paint your lame-ass feely-feely art on.
Fauxhemian- fake bohemian. Why are hipsters fake bohemians? For one thing, none of them are from Bohemia, but that hardly matters. A bohemian is: “( usually lowercase ) a person, as an artist or writer, who lives and acts free of regard for conventional rules and practices.” But hipsters are so creative and unconventional! Doesn’t that make them bohemians?
Fuck no. Why? Because hipsters are in no way unconventional. There are 50 bajillion of them and they all do the exact same things all the time. Sure, you don’t fit in with the styles of the preceding generation, but that’s how generations work. It doesn’t make anyone unconventional or creative. If you’re all doing the same things, it means you are following hipster rules. To sum it up, hipsters are not “unconventional” and they don’t “live free of regard for conventional rules”, but rather, they have a different convention. If only one idea from one time counted as the conventional way, we’d ALL be unconventional and the term would be even more meaningless than hipsters have already made it.
Real New Yorker- someone who was either born and raised in one of the five boroughs, or who moved to New York without the help of their well-moneyed parents, pays their own apartment rent (possibly with the help of the gov’t, but never with the help of daddy’s retirement fund), works their own job (we’re counting drug-dealing and robbing people as jobs in this case, or hustling for dope money, or even collecting cans from the trash), ties their own shoes, and definitely isn’t on a magical staycation in New York.
Well said. Oh by the way, the other day I saw Caleb and Seth giggling like two loony birds outside a 99 cents store trying to figure out what toy to buy! What in the world is going on here. I am a 57 year old grandmother and I sure hope I live to see the day that all these filthy idiots leave my home. I feel like I am living a nightmare!!!
Enjoyment of others? You are all escapees of the mental ward. just go away, PLEASE. I can’t take it anymore. I can’t go anywhere without running into jerks like you!!!!!!
“real New Yorker” is most likely someone who was born in NY and then raised to adulthood in the same state. I’m not sure about the people who move here for school or a career or to escape their soul-crushing 3rd world country, but they generally seem to graduate to semi-real-NYer status after moving here with an actual purpose (as opposed to ‘make art’ or ‘find themselves’ or ‘become a better skateboarder’) and staying for a long, long time. Unlike most Manhattanites I think the title applies to everyone in those categories from Staten Island to Montauk/Orient point. Despite this dispute, I think everyone can agree upstate NY is like another fucking planet and should be re-named. We’re easy to spot because after a lifetime of living here we’re not only unimpressed, but some of us dont even like it here but can’t afford to move. The city is tough so you end up being tough or at least completely desensitized to the filth, the homelessness and the crime, as well as the desperate cries of attention from the people who can’t handle being a nobody in a sea of faces because their own ego won’t allow it. We are also very very combative (if you can’t tell by the endless fighting within these comment sections) as a result of living here, learning right away if you dont push forward or speak up no one is going to move out of your way or hear you. So, no, we’re not all about ruining the fun of others and our hearts arn’t totally black pits of hatred , we just have a hard time tolerating bullshit.
Matthew Silver = Talentless Douche

Caution: moonbat infestation ahead……
That dude rules. He was like a superhero showing up, striking a blow for justice. It’s good to know that such righteous people exist in our midst.
also, everyone should go leave something in the comment section of that d-bag’s youtube page:
http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=n6RqA_hg_H8
He blocked me. He didn’t take to kindly what I said in one of his videos which received top comment. lol
I think that was his way of telling you that your negativity is not welcome
But maybe his comment was just some performance art. Why do you hate art?
LOL!!!
You touche’d that mo fo like a boss!!
I just noticed: at :52 seconds in, he throws what looks like part of Matthews summer sled and almost hits the guy doing skateboard tricks. LOL
They just set this video to private!! HAAA HA what a bunch of pussies!!!
What a fucking baby – the kidult can prance around in his underwear making noise, bothering real New Yorkers, but as soon as someone puts in words the hatred that everyone has for him, he takes his ball and goes home.
If only we could get him to leave NY as easily.
What makes a “real new yorker?” Please … “educate” me
and I do use that term of “educate” very loosely
Stop playing coy. If you’re some emaciated, ‘skinny fat’ beta male beardo who says “BROOKLYN” with a voice that sounds like a Kazoo when asked where he’s from — even though he was born and raised in Iowa, then he’s NOT a “real New Yorker”.
But that has nothing to do with Matthew Silver.. he’s done none of those things.. so please elaborate on why that’s how you’re characterizing him
Listen you annoying little witch, how about you first make the case why ANYONE, ANYWHERE should have to answer your stupid ass little questions? What’s the matter: do people who criticize your shallow, hypocritical, Utopian fantasies about how Life ‘should’ be, bother you so much that you walk into a room and start demanding explanations?
Here’s one: Go fuck yourself you old ugly cunt.
How’s that?
Why do you continue to spit all this hatred at me when I’m simply asking you a question ?
Too full of hate in yourself? Too busy hiding your self hatred to even read the question I’m asking you? Too busy hating on a harmless man because you don’t like a whole bunch of other people that you’ve somehow connected in that screwed space your call your subconscious? just answer my questions
what makes a Hipster?
what makes a Bohemian?
I can conclude from this exchange that in your opinion you only need to be born in NY (and from what i can take from this Manhattan Area) to be a true New Yorker. Do you realize that you people are focusing on such a tiny section of one of the largest states in the country? People are people. Open your eyes to what they’d have to offer you rather than spewing ignorance and hate at them
Nobody here hates themselves. We hate hipsters, hence the title. The kissy-goo-goo bullshit about bullies and everybody who disagrees with you not liking themselves has pretty much been disproven, or did you miss the fact that the self-esteem movement was an utter failure? How about being somewhat intelligent instead of just trying to sound like it?
What makes a hipster a hipster? They try way too hard to get a attention and not hard at all to support themselves financially. They expect everyone to love everything that they do in spite of the fact that they don’t know the meaning of the word effort.
I’ve already defined both bohemian and fauxhemian, if you can’t find it I’m not going to help you.
I’ve also defined “Real New Yorker”.
But anyway, I’ve said this around here before and I’ll say it again. You need to get over being made fun of, for your own good. Human beings have been making fun of each other for centuries upon centuries upon millenia. Some of the most ancient stories we have include someone being ridiculed. The pissy-ass notion that making fun of people makes you a bad or weak person is completely unfounded, and probably was started by whiny ass pussies who are totally out of touch with reality.
Case in point: the little hipster parade that’s here today thinks that they can make us hipster-haters look bad by coming in here, name-calling, pretending to be ignorant, attempting some kind of illogical moron’s version of the Socratic method, and proclaiming themselves superior, that they actually will have proven themselves superior to everyone else by demanding that people deny human nature and cease participation in one of humanity’s oldest and greatest past times in order to make them feel good, while engaging in said past time themselves. Now, that’s pathetic.
I figure NYC at its core is made up of transplants. Every Italian, Jew, Mexican, Wasp, etc had an ancestor who wasn’t born and raised in the City but was pretty much a NY’er the day they stepped off the boat. Do you consider the fry cook from Juarez busting his nut for chump change the last ten years at a Queens bodega a real NY’er even though he wasn’t born or raised here? For some reason I do. Is he as much a NY’er as some little Dalton prick born and raised on Beekman Place who summers in the Hamptons and then chokes broads to death in Central Park? I’ve had to teach some of these demon spawn once, and if you think some hipsters can be annoying….
I once had to interview Barry Michael Cooper (Writer of Newjack City and old school Village Voice Writer) who grew up in Harlem in the 60′s and 70′s. I asked him what made someone a NY’er. His response I think spans the burroughs well beyond the “line”. He said, “The moment you step off the plane”. To me, a NY’er is someone who comes to this City or stays here because this is where you get your hustle on be it picking up cans or spinning dough at Joe’s or destroying the economy on Wall Street or repairing my porch in Brooklyn, etc. It’s not a place for slackers.
Personally, I think hipsters are NY’ers, even real ones, just not the ones I’d count on in a pinch. I toss them on the scrap heap of trustafarians from the Upper East side, you know the white kids with dreads (attention choice); euro trash; conceptual and performance artists; etc. Alot of annoying people have been born and raised in the City. I think you just need to expand your horizon and be an equal opportunity hater.
you people are the pussies! i’d like to see your pictures! hahahhahaha… now that’d be something… secretly taking pictures anonymously and talking shit on a blog… what a disgrace…
LOL Berty. Secretly using parental subsidies to sustain your 3 year Brooklyn playtime. Same thing; ain’t it?
So says the bitch ass who’s posting anonymously. I’m still amazed at how hipsters are quick to call others “pussies” online, but offline they literally redefine the term “pussy”. Go figure.
You know what happens when you punch a hipster in the face? You get arrested! Is somebody a pussy for not wanting to get arrested? Fuck no! Jail sucks, and it’s only intelligent to try and avoid it. Even those who do commit crimes in broad daylight make a run for it!
And on the flipside, since the hipster parade on this thread has accused people three or four times of not really knowing what they do outside of the internet… You don’t know what we do, either. If I was chopping up hipsters and serving them up to their buddies as sustainable rat poison or something, you think I’d share that with you? Don’t be a fucking moron. And stop pretending that you posting on the internet makes you any less of a “pussy” than other people who post on the internet, because it doesn’t.
A two’fer!
Outstanding. Kudos to the real New Yorker!!!! And you know that bearded case of arrested development wasn’t going to lay a finger on him…little moaning diaper wearing pussy. Also notice how the moaner put his pants on pretty fast as soon as his stuff started getting tossed.
I can see this post getting somewhere upwards of 300 comments. Is that record breaking?
Mayor Bloomberg build a statue of this hero.
If by Hero you mean Matt
GO AND TELL MY GRANDFATHER WHO WATCHED HIS FRIENDS BEING MASSACRED AT DUNKIRK AT AGE 17 THAT THIS COWARDLY WASTE OF OXYGEN IS A HERO.
ROFLMAO! OK, troll. I’m pretty sure not even a hipster would be stupid enough to call Matthew Silver a hero.
Did you hear how he sounded?! “Stop it! Stop it!” Like a whiny 5yr old. Applause should be given to that dude for doing the right thing. Hope he continues ..
I really wish baby Matthew had touched the guy so he would have had an excuse to lay him out. You know, in self defense.
Oh well, I would still like to buy the dude a drink.
Yeah no doubt, I’d definitely buy this dude a drink to thank him. Baby Matthew proved what we all knew already; that these interloping attention whores have no balls. I love how the hero didn’t even say a word to him – just did what he had to do and widdle Matthew would either have to grow a pair, or just take it like the beta male pussy that he is.
Just another version of the kids stealing the hipster’s Vespa and then flaunting his beta maleness by riding around on it in front of him.
Best video ever posted on here to date….
Fucking oxygen thief.
Love the Zelda whining “Chill out, Chill out!”. He never touches any of these DBs although he is given major provocation to do so. A superhero AND a gentlemen. This blog is on fire lately.
JUSTGIVE ME A HUG!
*clap clap clap* would hi-five and shake that dude’s hand as he left
Couldn’t someone pull a Geraldo and hit in the face with a folding chair?
In slightly related news, precious snowflakes use instagram to p*ss their parents off.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/rich-kids-instagram-overserved-oversharing-141657288.html
TO “ANGRY PROP-THROWING MAN”:
CALM, COLLECTED… YOU DID THE RIGHT THING IN THE RIGHT WAY. THANK YOU
I don’t see anything “right” about the way that this man interrupted Matthew’s performance
Performance my ass.
your ass must be very talented!
“Oooohhhh!!! A scary black person is kicking my stuff!!!! Stop it!!!!!STOOOOOOPPPPP IT!!!!”
Fucking pussy.
Just the way this was done deserves a standing ovation. No words no threats, just purely annoyed but calm. A man gets up and did what had to be done. I bet Matthews parents can expect a sobbing phone call coming. “it’s okay my little Matty Matt, your Mac Book pro is in the mail. “
LISTEN TO THAT FUCKING GENTRIFYING BITCH PIECE OF SHIT IN THE BACKGROUND….
“LIKE LIKE LIKE WHAT IS HE DOING? YAHHHHHHH”
SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NORMAL, NON ATTENTION SEEKING, NON URBAN PLAYDATE NATIVES ARE GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR FUCKING PUSSIFICATION TRANSPLANT BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK YOUR URBAN SNOWBALL FIGHTS
FUCK YOUR URBAN KICKBALL
FUCK YOUR NO PANTS RIDES ON THE SUBWAY
FUCK ALL OF YOU AND YOUR ATTENTION SEEKING BULLSHIT
YOUR GENTRIFYING NASAL VOICES AND YOUR DUSGUSTING FLIP FLOPS FLOPPING ON MY STREETS REALLY FUCKING ANNOYS ME AND THE REST OF THE DC NATIVES AND LONG TERM RESIDENTS
NOBODY LIKES YOU
THE COPS IN DC HATE YOU TOO
GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY CITY AND GO THE FUCK BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM
YOUR streets?
YOUR city?
…. The streets belong to no one and everyone is free to do what they wish on them! If you don’t like it, maybe YOU should find a different city?
Just some food for thought
Want to come down here and find out who owns the streets, you little toy? Bring your boyfriend MollyL. Oh, I forgot, your mommies don’t let you out after dark. Too many people of color around…
Actually, people are not “free to do anything they wish”
on the streets. The streets DO belong to everyone, which is precisely why sane people understand that they don’t get to “do anything they wish” while on them.
You just completely contradicted yourself there sweetheart.
Also, why are you all so racist?
Where did you get your liberal arts degree? If everyone walked around doing what ever the fuck they felt like on public streets, those streets would be unliveable for everyone. This is why we don’t get to do whatever we feel like on public property; sane people understand this social (and legal) code, while kidults like you have trouble wrapping their brain around elementary principles.
Racist? Sorry, as a left-leaning person, my biggest critique of all you little rich liberal kids is that you are undoubtedly entrenched, very deeply, in racism. The poster is pointing that out. The sight of a black person on the street at night makes your skin crawl. Don’t fucking pretend it doesn’t. Don’t tell me about how you have black friends. I don’t want to hear about your trophies. Go back to pursuing your worthless fashion design degree. This is not a safe space for you.
hahahahahhahahahahhaha… a blog where people talk shit on people anonymously… ok…
Hahahahahahahahahaha an ignorant sack of shit who signs up for a hate blog just so he can type smug comments and make himself feel superior while everyone else enjoys a laugh at his expense. I love how it completely goes over your head that you are doing the exact same thing you are pretending to laugh at us doing. I especially love how your complete and utter inability to understand that makes me feel like I have a pretty good chance at coming up in this world, if shit like you is my competition.
Oh honey, you really shouldn’t have…
Watching this, it felt as though the castration of New York City by these Beta-men was reversed if only for 2:56 minutes
That dude is my hero, bringing ballsy moves like that with the calmness of a butler!!! Also, how funny that poor little Matt put his clothes back on at the very end… Like, all of a sudden, he felt a sense of “shame”; what a fuckwad and waste of oxygen. Best video link ever, DH.
Just tried to leave a comment on you tube and it says the video is private lol.
And now on here too. Is it possible these fuck wade have learned how to feel shame?
The way that loser put on his clothes at the very end of the video shows that if only for a little bit, he got shamed. I think the video set to private thing is more butthurt than shame, but still… that NYC dude is MY HERO!
It’s taken down by the (l)user. Matthew is a mental patient who hasn’t been examined yet.
This video made my entire day. That kid is almost certainly a diehipster reader. I love how he just calmly but deliberately tosses all Mattie’s shit around. Gets right in his face knowing that moaning fucking jefk-off of an “artist” won’t touch him, and then throws sime more of his shit around. Perfect.
I have to believe that at least half of the people who were clapping at the end were really clapping for the kid.
WHO IN THE FUCKING WORLD, HIPSTER OR NOT, WOULD CHEER ON A GROWN MAN DANCING AROUND IN NINJA TURNTLE UNDEROOS AND MOANING JIBBERISH? I don’t know about New York, but in Minneapolis people like that used to be thrown in the paddy wagon and taken in for a full pshych eval.
Fuck! I missed the video! Goddamit!
FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT
THEY SEEK OUT ATTENTION AND THEN WHEN THEY FINALLY GET THE ATTENTION THEY LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DESPERATELY WANT
THEY MAKE THE VIDEO PRIVATE SO NOBODY CAN WATCH IT
TYPICAL URBAN PIONEERS
FUCK THEM
you guys are all a bunch of pussies! make a video of yourselves… some kinda of diehipster.com manifesto…. now that i’d like to see! ahahhahaha you guys suck! you can’t do that shit! you’re too pussy! hey, here’s an idea why don’t you say shit to these people? hahahahhahaha! you can’t! you suck… lick my nuts!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………………………………………
If we do that, won’t your dad get jealous?
pussy… zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………
Someday somewhere this talentless fuckstick will be doing his self indulgent act and somebody who is having a really bad day is going shank him or knock his teeth out and I hope I’m there to witness it. That’s what I call performance art!
Performance Art? …. That’s what I would call assault. A crime punishable by at least 7 years in prison.
If you don’t mind my asking…. what is so self indulgent about his act anyway? He’s just doing his thing. If you don’t like it… don’t watch it.
Because it’s in public. Want to act like a spaz? Rent a gallery and invite people over. But by doing his ridiculous performance in public he is forcing his absurdity on others. If someone wants to hang out in Union Square and not be subjected to some attention-seeking moron they are SOL. He is ruining public space.
That’s the point of the art, to encompass the public. It’s clearly over your head.
^^^ talentless attention whore
Christ, you are a narcissistic bag of shit to think that your “art” is so wonderful and unique that you have some special right to accost “the public” and rape their collective senses. I like how you use some lofty nonsensical made-up-as-you-go definition of “art” (that only you and your fellow fucktard “artists” can understand, naturally) as an excuse for acting like a mental patient on the street. This is why art is dead. Go fuck yourself.
haha Art isn’t dead, and I don’t need to go fuck myself, I have someone to do that for me.
It’s pathetic that you feel raped and violated by his work, did you go cry to mommy about that to.. Why is it that all you guys can do is shit on someone who’s happy in their life, is yours really that sad and pathetic that you have to rip down others. I am an artist actually, quite successful and one thing I do know art isn’t dead, only in the eyes of those who are uncultured and ignorant is it
This is beyond parody. Named Molly or Megan? Check. Self-described artist? Check. Convinced that those who don’t appreciate her art are just unsophisticated rubes? Check.
And Megan/Molly, that guy who kicked over Matty’s shit was just engaged in performance art too. If you don’t like it, then you either hate art or are just unsophisticated.
What the scary black man did was performance art too. Sorry you’re too uncultured and ignorant to, like, “get it.” Like yah.
Go collect your Participation Trophy now.
“is yours really that sad and pathetic that you have to rip down others.”
Yes. That’s EXACTLY why. Now that you’ve got the answer you had already decided on, watch your fucking smart mouth around the natives on your ‘adventures’ little lady or you may find
yourself facing brutal realities you will only ever read about, not actually overcome. And what might those realities be?
1) You live in New York, or hadn’t you noticed while you were transforming it into your grand pappy’s farm back home you once heard about?
2) You may be safe in the mini-hippy flavored culdesacia you and your squint eyed peers have carved out with your mommy and daddy’s retirement funds, but there are many other neighborhoods were hipsters are NOT amusing to people
3) when you go out in public, you are in public – not your daddy’s suburban backyard where everyone thinks all you say and do is cute…there are people born in NYC whose bloodlines have been paying taxes for several generations to BUILD the city you now enjoy and annoy your people back home about…
These are obvious things Molly-Mouth. Obvious things, but they escape your notice. And you detest what is said on this site because it hints at the possibility that your world is far smaller and less appreciated than you care to consider. The distrust and disgust you read here actually reflects that of the hipsters who moved to Brooklyn because of NY’s reputation and then immediately started setting about to turn it into someplace where everyone is pink, rides unicorns, and eats cotton candy every day. IOW, you STILL haven’t grown the fuck up and you live in one of the best, but also one of the toughest, cities on the ENTIRE PLANET.
How about you demonstrate you can show some respect and if you can’t, then GTFOH!!!!!!!!!
Heeeerrrreeee we go again, “I’m A Successful Artist” whine. Hahhahaa. What a fucking joke. NO YOU’RE NOT. Just because you can act like an artist while your parents pay for your overpriced, pompous, worthless existence in my family’s neighborhood doesn’t equate “Successful Artist”. Show us what you’ve done “Molly”…..
My parents don’t pay shit, I am not in my family’s neighborhood.
and I’d love to show you what I’ve done actually.
We don’t need to see it. It’s probably coloured dog shit all over again.
No matter how much you colour up dog shit, it’s still shit. And boy does it stink.
Where’s the link? Show us. Go ahead. I want to see if trolling is a hipster thing.
he’s not really forcing anything on anyone. Union Square is a big place. If you don’t like it… go someplace else!
You can’t give a 100% concrete definition of what a hipster is, so therefore hipsters don’t exist.
For a lone time, no one could tell you exactly what the Higgs Boson particle is, yet it was pretty certain that it existed. If we all went by your logic, we’d still be bashing each others’ brains out with rocks.
He’s forcing that garbage on every single person that needs to be in Union Square. You some people who have those fucking crazy things called “jobs.”
The internets a big place “Hans”. You don’t like it here go somewhere else.
As I’ve been saying here all morning – Mr. Silver is a jackboot. His crew of personalities are here demanding “real names” bemoaning “anonymous commentary” – and YES, instead of renting a private space to “entertain” those that have interest in what he is doing, he literally FORCES everyone in public to be his audience. This is the very definition of a jackboot… a NAZI. Lest anyone here think that these “occupy” types have a special edge on freedom fighting when it comes right down to it they are just a jackboot as “wall street”
What do trolls eat?
Tootsie trolls.
So glad I got to see the vid before the panty waste blocked it. In the future everyone will get to beat on a hipster for 15 minutes.
You can still see it at his website: http://www.maninwhitedress.com/
There is also another video of the scene from another angle. Union Square has become such a toilet.
He just took it off his website and removed it from youtube. Guess it’s been a busy morning.
I was late to the party damn! Not that there’s any shortage of fuckwads around but I’m sorry I missed out on this. : (
Maybe not. …
You can still view the video on his Facebook page. You can also see cliche hipster apologist Molly’s page. I swear, this shit is like parody. The jokes write themselves. IT’S LIKE ART, MAN! LIKE YAH! YOU JUST LIKE DON’T GET IT!
oh so wait i do exist?
holy shit

“Later, he comes back and tries to offer me a puff of his joint, I say no thank you and then he communicates in a calm way that he’s on the crypts, and he’ll kill me if I wear my speedo. ” I can get behind that.
Here’s another one of his videos. This one isn’t blocked.
This one is blocked now too. LMAO. But you can still see it, if you care to, at: http://www.youtube.com/user/maninwhitedress
Give me a B! Give me a U! Give me a T! Give me another T!……
I see that Mattie Boy unblocked it. I guess he must have been dying from the lack of attention.
I’m glad he unblocked it. I wanted to take it off my youtube channel, so I deleted them both. It’s just too embarrassing to be associated with.
Everything is unblocked now… he couldn’t stand to sacrifice any attention over us KKK’ers here.
Next time Boy Matthew posts one of these videos, someone please download it so that it can be reposted if he blocks or pulls it.
Here’s the video:
I think you’re all whiney brats. He preaches love and enjoys his life and what he’s doing. As a native new yorker surviving the daily grind and hustle and bustle He has made my day brighter on numerous occasions. Stop bitching about pointless trivial things and let the man be happy.
You’re retarded, right? He makes your day brighter? Right off the short bus….
Actually I may be a ton of things, but retarded, not one on the list. But from your sentence fragments and ability to only name call, i’m assuming you never matured past the age of 15?
Why’d you capitalize the H in He in the middle of a sentence? Are you deifying him?
I’ll bet it’s because little Molly is a zany New Yorker (circa 2010).
Again, I am and have been a New Yorker.. all of my life.. so circa 2010 sure and everything before and after it. Maybe I’m zany but at least I have a heart with apparently there are far and few between (circa 2012)
Agreed. The ignorance and insanity festering on this webpage is unbelievable. It truly upsets me to see all of this obscene hatred. Why don’t you take all your anger and focus it onto something positive? It kills me to see all of this negativity focused on one man who is just trying to live his life and have some fun. If you don’t like him, stay away. NYC is a big place – Find another place to go. I find it incredibly amusing that many people hating on this page continue to assume and assume. You preach when you really have no idea what’s going on or what you’re talking about. You sitting here talking about this man will do nothing, take a step back and look at all the hatred inside yourselves and just let it go. Do the world… if not yourselves a favor.
Go choke on a dick, “Hans”.
that’s the best thing you can come up with “LS”.. god people do not like to hear the truth. Good for you Hans
You sitting here talking about this man will do nothing, take a step back and look at all the hatred inside yourselves and just let it go. Do the world… if not yourselves a favor.
Please go suck a dick.
hey Black Mamba, i think it’s super ballsy that you’ve disabled comments and continue to give me the same response!
I disagree. It’s annoying and pathetic. He’s a wanna-be Tom Green.
Yep, and as Leroy might say, “lower than that I can’t get”.
Emphasis on “wanna-be”. Green could at least rein it in long enough to get a gig on MTV. Matt here would probably sign the paperwork for his own television show by jumping up on the desk and shitting on it, all in the name of being “wacky”.
Oh, and don’t slam Tom Green like that. Green has more of a chin. If Matthew fell flat on his face, he’d smash the back of his head.
I laughed so hard at this it brought tears to my eyes.
“Stop bitching about pointless trivial things and let the man be happy.”
Stop bitching about us bitching about pointless and trivial things, let us be happy. You’re being a hypocrite by bitching about our bitching.
I’m not being a hypocrite having a debate in a forum in which I never once whined and complained actually.
I second that. But in all honesty these people are beyond any help that anyone would ever be willing to give them. These stupid forums allow people to build themselves up and fester their anger. Let them. Our postings will do nothing to sway them one way or another. These “People” are too ignorant and thick headed to realize that Matt doesn’t care. He never will care. He’s above it all, these people can talk and talk and it will never affect him. Just like our opinions will never affect them. Let their obscene and pointless hatred towards a human being (and people that they’ve classified in their own minds as hipsters, because again what makes a hipster?) fester. It won’t ever do them any good anyway.
If Matthew ‘doesn’t care’, then why did he pull the video?
Listen Matthews Dad, face it…your son’s a fucking failure and you produced him and you stupidly keep supporting him. And the quote marks around the people word is PROOF you are all fucking hypocrites when it comes to mumbly mouthing about ‘humanity’ and its value. You can, just as easily and quickly as us, devalue a human life and THAT’S what’s really bugging you about this place, isn’t it? You’re just an animal, like the other animals. Whoops. Did I just hear your superiority bubble bursting? Wahhhhhh
Matthew is in a public place with his butt cheeks hanging out and OTHER PEOPLES KIDS around, just like the only man with any balls there bothered to say to him. If Matthew were black and his name was Michael Jackson, every last one of you would be up in arms with him standing around in his underwear carrying toys in public.
He’s going to say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing to someone’s kid sometime and that will be all they wrote. If your idol Matty, or yourselves, gave that much of a damn about making other people happy, you’d be adopting the elderly, the disabled, the homeless, donating to charity, working at the food pantry, coming up with cures for disease, etc etc etc. Instead, you sit on your butts and watch some 35 year old man wiggle a childs speedo in public. And rationalize all of it by calling it ‘art’.

..”He preaches love and enjoys his life and what he’s doing.”…
So did Jim Jones.
First of all – we don’t know if the guy is all there. Anyone who willingly goes out in the street in his underwear – in full view of children – is not dealing with a full deck. So we’re supposed to let this guy go about his business because it makes him happy? So when the guy finally blows a head pipe and eschews his clever little stunts for something more violent – like molesting children or stabbing people at random will you be there to bail him out?
Society has rules that it follows. That’s why the majority of us don’t fart in crowded elevators, curse in front of childrenor do anything that causes distress or discomfort to our fellow citizens. If I proceeded to read loudly from “Mein Kampf” while smearing limburger cheese on myselfa nd cr*pping my pants while sitting next to you on a crowded subway train, would you find it whimsical and zany? Would it brighten YOUR day?
This attention seeking sockpuppet is no different that subway musicians, puppeteers and street magicians. The difference is he’s annoying and presenting himself in such a way that it irritates and scares bystanders. He’s a nuisance no different that the violinist who does nothing but scrape an amplified violin on the ground while yelling, “MY UTERUS IS THE PIPELINE TO THE KREMLIN!!”. The cops should come and haul him away – for his own sake as well as ours. OTOH – if the guy is playing Mozart – he’s entertaining the masses. Not only would he get a free pass, but chances are the cops would leave him alone.
If this guy approached my child me acting and dressed like he is in the video, he’d have his face imbedded in the pavement and a size twelve wingtip up his a**.
Haha, MY UTERUS IS THE PIPELINE TO THE KREMLIN!! I’d love to see that.
That’s your personal opinion all I said, is he does brighten people’s days, sorry you’re too pessimistic to have that point of view.
He brightens the day of Logans and Tristans who come from Ohio and blog about their gritty urban experiences…when the should be clotheslined with long-boards and punted into the East River. Pat I. is 100% on point.
But I am none of those Logans or Tristans from Ohio and have seen others who have had other positive experiences from his art. So your facts are invalid. womp womp..
I second that. My apologies for your pessimism. It takes more muscles to frown and give someone the finger than it does to smile at them and be on your way.
It must really be awful to live around people who are so “cheerful” ALL the time. The Bible says there is a time for peace and a time for war, a time for joy and a time for sorrow. Have you ever taken the time to think about why that might be?
Classic lame defense: “That’s just your opinionnnn!” Go make some “art,” zany little girl.
haha now I’m little? that’s so sweet.
LS who are you in life that you’re that sad.
My opinion has been what I’ve been debating this entire time granted it was a one sided debate since all you can do is name call and curse at people.
you’re very quick to jump at people and criticise them. I think that comes from your own self hatred… have you seen a therapist lately? I know some really intelligent people that would be able to help you out! I’ll send them your way =)
Mirror.
The diaper wearing “man” needs to be happy in Bellevue’s psych unit. He’s a raving EDP. Sorry to burst your bubble, but NO THAT IS NOT PERFORMANCE ART. That is mental illness.
That’s not even mental illness. His entire schtick is based on the idea that for every four-year-old who stands out in front of his house and yells “POO-PEE! POO-PEE! PEE-PEE! PEE-PEE!” at passing traffic at the top of his lungs, there’s always a few six-year-olds who think it’s desperately funny and want him to continue. Personally, I don’t care if the six-year-olds want to get him his own venue and let him “perform” all day. It’s just that the grown-ups would like to be able to get a parking space or, I don’t know, sleep in peace without his vowel movements disturbing it.
Well that’s a funny way to preach love, isn’t it?
that’s the point.
we have a winner.
You’re elderly grouches who hate youth culture. You just use “hipster” to mean young people.
You and Hans are the same person, aren’t you?
had the “performer” and his cronies not had such knee-jerk whiny bitch responses to the big bad intruder, it could have been passed off as part of the show – like, representing the oppression, yah? course, it would have taken someone with half a brain to make that snap judgment. much easier to just put your pants on. what an embarrassment to america this guy is.
I think all of you that have nothing better to do then whine and complain are the bigger embarrassment. It’s so sad that in your precious free time you sit around and judge a man who’s goal really is to spread joy and laughter. Who the fuck are you, so special in the world to judge. Guess what you’re all miserable people who wont do anything in life other than join groups online so that you can all complain together and not feel so alone in the world. Guess what, he figured it out. Get over yourselves and get outside enjoy the world and take a page out of Matthew Silver’s book and fucking smile, it’s contagious and I promise you will make the world a better place then to just spout words of hatred, animosity and judgement
OK, but he doesn’t spread joy and laughter. He spreads misery and pain. All the people in that public space that walk by have to endure his nonsense, which is no different than the ravings of a deranged homeless person. Do run of the mill lunatics also make you smile and laugh? Hey, what he does in his own home with hangers on like you is his business. But doing this shit out in public, and thereby forcing the rest of us to endure such nonsense, is completely off limits.
He put on some performance art, and an upstanding citizen responded with some performance art of his own. If that guy had invaded Mikey’s house to kick his shit around that would be one thing, but out in a public space I have zero sympathy.
Act like a retard in your underroos, get your ass kicked. Really simple rule. That guy was just enforcing community standards.
“have to endure his nonsense”? Well, to be honest, they don’t. If someone doesn’t like a street performer, they can just keep walking and never see it again. Nothing warrants someone to become physical when they can easily just walk away. All of you are worse than the people you make fun on. He is out there doing things that make him happy. Whether or not YOU like it doesn’t matter. If YOU don’t like it, walk away or don’t talk about it. All this negativity is unnecessary stress on yourself, which causes shorter life spans. Lighten up guys, you’re making yourselves look worse than he did – he offered love to this guy…you are all just offering hate.
He is out there doing things that make him happy. Whether or not YOU like it doesn’t matter. If YOU don’t like it, walk away or don’t talk about it.
And I’m on here commenting about what a jerk-off this guy is, which makes ME happy, and if YOU don’t like it, maybe you shouldn’t visit this site. So let’s make a deal: I will avoid Matthew and his ilk like the plague (no change in policy there) and you stay off of DH.
Thank you Melissa, someone gets it.
They just need a forum of hate to make themselves feel better.
It seems they are incapable of love and spreading love so they default to hate and animosity.
Are you gonna bust out a chorus of Kumbaya ?
Can sockpuppets DO that? I mean, hipster apologists usually talk out their asses, but…
sockpuppets.. eh..
atleast I’m entertaining.
eh… you’re not.
really, cause you’ve been sitting here fighting about it.. so I guess you’re a liar then
Agreed. The pointless hatred breeding on this site makes me shake my head untill I’m dizzy.
Hans: its not pointless. It all started with me hating clueless hipster transplants for coming to Brooklyn and idiotically paying double and triple the rent prices they should have; all for the sake of being part of some faux-artsy liberal arts college campus lifestyle in working class neighborhoods. That’s the point – THE BIG POINT. Much truth about these people is spoken on this site. It’s just that people like you refuse to accept that we know what we are talking about.
…That has nothing to do with Matthew Silver.. also still waiting on the name jokes..
I think the best way to handle people like that is to let them go on living their lives. If you don’t like those kinds of people hate on them all you want. Matt is NOT one of those people. The only connection between him and those types of people is the one you’ve made in your head.
Question: how is DH stopping Matty and his ilk from living their lives?
It’s not, it’s not doing anything. Just like my posts aren’t doing anything. I just find it incredibly entertaining to see you people wield hate all over one dude who’s just trying to have some fun
His “fun” comes at the expense of other peoples’ quality of life. That is why it sickens me.
But it’s FUN! A normal kind of fun that has been enjoyed by human beings for as long as humanity has been around. How are you incapable of understanding that?
You expect me to believe you’ve never made fun of anybody in your life? Don’t make me laugh. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that’s a lie, because it’s human nature. You can keep trying to make us feel ashamed of ourselves for engaging in this joyous act that provides us with tons of laughter (which is, after all, healthy) and shit to talk about, but you’ll never convince anybody, because the truth is plain as day. It’s natural, and wait a minute, I thought hipsters were supposed to advocate old-timey things? Mockery and beatings, those old human past times, don’t count?
I think you just have zero sympathy in general.
you are okay with the idea of getting your ass kicked and really that’s sad.
Molly, Melissa, pinkie – are you twatwaffles all just stevie/ed socks or is it Matt’s leper-colony beard that lights your loins on fire?
Senor Jerkburger, I am a real person with a brain and sympathy and empathy.
You are just really sad and pathetic.
You are deranged if you think that “passion and love” is standing on the street in your underwear and screaming gibberish into the wind like a fool. Also, your incessant self-righteous crowing in the comment section here, about all of the sympathy and empathy and good feelings you have deep down in your special wittle heart also makes you sound like a cuntbag jam-packed full of shit. Go get high on life on some other corner of the web. You clearly have a lot of time on your hands yourself if you can take the time to respond to every single negative hateful meaniepants comment that harshes your “performance art/acting like a dipshit in public” vibe. The coffee shop you sit in with your MacBook Pro must be ready to throw you out already.
actually I am at work and we have downtime I work for a living besides my art.
But I’m glad you guys have this idea of me.. It’s so sweet that I must mean that much to you.
Also LS im pretty sure whinging is not the word you meant but kudos to you twatwaffle is one of my personal favorites.
So things are slow at Starbucks lately, eh?
That’s cute. If i did work at starbucks, I’m sure I’d spit in your coffee.
Alas I have a real job. Where I support myself..
Molly L = whinging twatwaffle
*LOL* So you mean that in order for something to fit the definition of “sympathy,” the subject feeling the sympathy must feel it for everyone, everywhere, all the time?
Plus, if “sympathy” is what you feel for Mr. Silver, then clearly you recognize his act is shit, or else why would “sympathy” be the word for it?
One more thing, I don’t feel sympathy for people who bring shit on themselves. You wanna act like a dick? Don’t be surprised if someone hits you or gives you a hard time, and especially don’t be surprised if someone comes along and says, “Hey, you’re a dick.”
I’m not sure why you think it’s everyone else’s job to make life easy for a sorry sack of shit like Matthew Silver. Everyone should leave the area he’s in so he can have his kidult fun. And if he performs on the train platform, I suppose you want us to just walk ten blocks to the next station so he can have his fun?
YES I’M OKAY WITH THE IDEA OF GETTING MY ASS KICKED! It’s nothing new. I’ve had my ass kicked many a time. In the earliest days, it was my mom kicking my ass after I definitely did something to deserve. I thought I could be sneaky and act a fool in public where she couldn’t beat me, but instead I just got a very thorough beating right in the middle of a store. As a kid, I also fought with other kids. One time I acted like a smug jerk for about a week for some reason, and all my friends got together to beat the shit out me. Those are some of the best friends EVER! I am of the belief that if you make it to twenty years old and you have never been hit at all, something is probably going to be wrong with you as an adult. Because nobody goes through 20 years without deserving to be hit, and nothing gives you the message faster than actually being hit.
There’s never been a time that I’ve been hit that I didn’t at least partially deserve it, unless you count drunken fights about nothing.
Take a bow, J style!
When you fidget around in your underwear in public, you can’t pick and choose the reactions you will get. Sorry, but that’s the way it is.
Sorry you’re just not comfortable to “fidget” in your underwear. And that is sad.
No what’s sad is that a grown fucking man acts like a retarded child in public in the name of art. People like Matthew Silver are why art is for the most part completely worthless in our times. For every truely great performance artest there are a thousand like this or like the chick that pees in spaghetti-ohs or like the whiney girl voiced 35 year old toddler who sings on the train platform for NO BODY.
What’s sadder is that when someone points out what an idiot this guy looks like, there are dozens of meghans like you to defend his right to be quirky.
What’s even sadder than all of that is that you don’t see how something like this could be truely and honestly offensive to a person close to a person with a serious mental illness.
You said in one of your other comments that “he figured it out”. What exactly did he figure out??
Name one truly great performance artist, I don’t think it can be done.
I don’t really follow theater so I can’t name any performance artists, per se. But like Michael Franti or Mos Def (oh sorry, Yasin Bey) or even Kid Rock (even though I never liked him that much) come to mind. Great musicians who I’ve seen put on a great performance.
But now that you mention it, there may not be any great performance artists.
However if there are, they no doubt get paid to put on a show in a venue and people come see them by choice. If you have to perform in union square at lunch time just to be seen, you might be performing, but you’re no artist.
And that’s the beauty of it. It’s not about recognition or what people will think of you. It’s about self expression. if he’s happy and wants others to join in his hapiness where is the problem?
Get stuffed, mate.
that doesn’t answer my question.
Its all about recognition. I’ve seen real beauty put out by annonymous folks like Four Leaf studios.
The problem is in the desperate need for attention involved in “wanting others to join in his happiness”. When I’m happy about something, I have the sense to realize that most people just aren’t going to give a fuck. Why is it my responsibility to make this guy feel good about himself by ignoring my own standards and opinions to worship some douche in his underwear.
And now that I’ve answered so many of your fuzzy wanna-be philosophical hipster questions, perhaps you can answer a few of mine…
What is morally wrong with having standards for which art you respect and which art you don’t?
What is morally wrong about refusing to respect people who move into an area, move the natives out, and live off of mommy and daddy’s money in some expensive place they’ve never done anything to earn?
What is morally wrong with expecting to see some effort and a demonstration of understanding before you respect someone’s art and/or the person themselves?
All I have right now, I’ve worked to get it myself. I had help from my parents through training rather than through trust funds. My mom didn’t have that kind of money, so like many moms around the nation, she worked hard to make sure I didn’t grow up to be a whiny pissant who can’t take criticism, can’t fathom hard work as anything but a thing for lowlifes and stupid people, and can’t take care of myself. If I just respected every useless pissant who ain’t ever done shit as an equal to those who have, it’d be an insult to my mom and others like her who work(ed) hard to make sure future generations aren’t a bunch of worthless fucks.
Have Melted Men played in NYC recently?
I
He figured out how to live his life and be joyful. I don’t get your meghan reference and the fact that you feel this could be offensive to persons with mental illness is pathetic. The fact that you could equate the two just shows how ignorant you are. Never once does he compare himself to someone with a disability so your bias nature is making that connection.
No the fact that you think this is art and is joyful and is not offensive shows how clueless you are. Show this video to a person who works with special needs children and see how joyfull it makes them.
Unless Mattie really is mentally challenged. Which is entirely possible based on the few of his “performances” that I’ve seen.
There was never a comparison between his art and the mentally challenged other than the one you drew. And what I do work with the mentally inept, ever thought of that in all of you evil spirited comments.. but you didn’t you’re all quick to judge and throw shit on each other. It’s really sad to say the least.
amen.
All froth and no latté.
“And what I do work with the mentally inept, ever thought of that in all of you evil spirited comments..”
Assuming that you mean to say that you do work with the mentally inept, all I can say is “sure you do”.
Please explain to me how my comments are evil spirited.
Very difficult to explain mental illness to someone who is as mentally deranged as Miss Joy and Laughter.
If you actually did work with the mentally challenged.. you wouldn’t call them inept.
*LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL* Here we go again. “How dare you judge people! You’re all sad!”
No, I am one happy motherfucker, and one of my favorite hobbies is fucking with little softies like you!
LOL! Nice!
What’s sad is that dancing around in the street in your underwear with toys is considered some special artistic talent by you imbeciles.
You just don’t get art, maaaaaaan.
ONLY PERSON SPREADING JOY AND LAUGHTER IN THIS VIDEO IS “ANGRY PROP-THROWING MAN”
Really, cause that’s not the case at all.
No it totally is. You should have seen the smile on my face this morning when I saw him toss that mic stand and kick that box. And what brings even more joy to normal people everywhere is that your friend Mattie is too fucking pussy to do anything about it. Not smart or quick enough to make it part of the show. Not man enough to put a stop to it. .Just acts like a total bitch just like 90% of the other hipster “artists” I’ve encountered.
Get the fuck outta here with this shit Molly McButters. You know as well as the rest of us that Mathew doesn’t have an ounce of tallent in his ugly mishappen body.
Molly McButters.. that’s a new one.
my “friend mattie” again on numerous occasions has brightened up my day when I’ve walked past him performing and you can see in the video others feel the same way.
Get of your hostile ego and realize that you’re really sad that all you can do is sit around a bitch about something that really doesn’t affect you in the least bit
Why are you on here Molly/Melissa whatever you call yourself? You are no native and we all know this. Natives care about what has happened to our once great city. That’s the point of this blog. We “bitch” because if we were to physically hurt them we would get arrested. I see punk bitches like you every day and when I look right into your eyes, you girls look away scared. You don’t deserve to live here. Go away.
Actually I am native. Lived in Brooklyn all my life work in the city the past 3 years and now live in Astoria.. so yeah I am native and I have a heart and understand passion and love, apparently something that doesn’t quite exist anymore
Like, suuuuuure ya are!
Also I deserve to live here, you on the other hand, you don’t deserve much in life apparently.
bite your bum
sounds like you’d much rather kiss it..
we could arrange that.
What is wrong with hostility? Its how we are naturally made. It is BIOLOGICALLY ENGRAINED IN US. Violence (to some degree), physicall altercations, competition and aggresssion and contact as a result of that aggression is one of the fundamentals of most if not all organic beings.
Hugs are not a way of solving ANYTHING but faggotry.
So let me get this straight. If I ran around looking quite unappetizing in my underwear yelling, screaming and engaging in acts of pseudo autoeroticism, that would brighten your day??? I don’t know about you but most people would have me locked up — and rightfully so.
Now that I think about it, had it been any other type of person doing such an act you can bet the police and EMTs will be on him instantly.
You fucking nailed it right there.
“…not smart or quick enough to make it part of the show….”
That’s the difference between a real New York street performer and a suburban, rectal thermometer armed fixed gear hipster posing as a real New York street performer.
Defenders down thread whining about “what NYC needs is people expressing themselves in public” like we’ve never seen a mime, street theater, clown or performer until the hipster invasion.
That he couldn’t put a stop to it goes without saying.
what qualifies someone to be a hipster? I’m dying to know
“”You should have seen the smile on my face this morning when I saw him toss that mic stand and kick that box. And what brings even more joy to normal people everywhere is that your friend Mattie is too fucking pussy to do anything about it. Not smart or quick enough to make it part of the show. Not man enough to put a stop to it. .Just acts like a total bitch just like 90% of the other hipster “artists” I’ve encountered.”"”
A true creative talent would know how to react creatively to this. Even comedians know how to handle hecklers. All this TALENTLESS shit stick could do was run for his pants in embarrassment and butthurt. And yes, I was filled with joy and laughter when I watched this. Bravo “Angry Black Man”!!
LOL. Right? If I were Matthew The Great I would’ve told that drummer in the back to kick a beat and done some comedic white boy rap about the guy tossing around my “zero value” props around. That wouldve been the best you can do in that situation.
LMAO – your name would be “Molly”. The cliches are endless.
Oh please indulge me.
“Molly L”: Stop complaining. You’re making yourself look pathetic. But if that’s what you want…
Actually I’m making you look pathetic, to show that there is life outside of your whining and negativity.. oh wow.. shocker.
You know nothing about anyone here.
That’s not really true at all, but continue to attempt to “know” me, you’re all so off it’s kind of fun to watch.
Listen I’m glad none of you have the common decency to treat people with respect so your horde all your issues from mommy and daddy and write destructive comments on a hateful blog. You’re all gonna achieve such greatness in life.
ROFLMAO! What a dumb sack of shit. You don’t have the ability to make anyone but yourself “look” anything.
I don’t see anything pathetic about standing up for someone. However, the more and more I scroll down this page, the more and more negativity I see. and THAT’s what is truly pathetic.
Anyone noticed that whenever Molly L “enlightens” this website and shakes her head at the negativity and the sadness of it call (boo hoo) Hans comes wagging his tail over?
*all
HAHA and I LOVE how if we look up through the comments ‘Hans’ typifies the hipster male by agreeing passively with our ‘Molly’ on everything she says.
(cut me off
)
Never taking a stand of his own.
To be honest, I love performance art. Especially that which is done in public places (subways, parks etc.) It really is beautiful to see someone ((with talent)) playing music or acting and I always make sure to support these hardworking people. With this guy however, it just reeks of fakeness and like many have already stated: the desire to have others look at him and his ‘uniqueness’. Most of his jokes have to do with hardly more than poo and pee and those that do not have this false aura of deepness fooling only the Molly’s and Hans’ of the world.
Sure he may preach love and smiles for all but when we get down to it he is nothing more than a no-talent phony. I still don’t see how piss jokes translates into a love for all.
first im bff with pinkie/melissa and now hans wags his tail over?
First off I don’t quite get where you’re going with that metaphor but hey like minded sane people apparently we’re strange for sticking up for one another..
MINDED SANE PEOPLE. MINDED. SANE. PEOPLE.
I think you meant to say “same minded people”, but that would imply you’ve got brains to begin with. Then again of you hipters seem to have a hive mind or something. And that’s NOT a good thing. Whatever happened to individuality AND sharing common goals?
I’m not too sure where you’re getting the idea that we are hipsters, maybe we’re just Fan’s of Matt? Maybe we’re people simply arguing with you on this site just to piss you off? Maybe I find it absolutely hilarious how much sense you lack and how poor your comebacks are.
Molly needs a meds reboot..
Their periods are in sync.
Breaking: Butthurt assclown finds ‘negativity’ on blog titled ‘Diehipster’
“Breaking Butthurt” should be the name of Matthew’s next “act”.
Why is negativity pathetic? If you really believe in positivity and negativity, surely you realize they both have to exist?
I don’t buy into that shit, honestly, but if you think people are supposed to be positive all the time… Well, I’m tired of pointing out logic. When are you going to get around to answering those questions I posed to you?
Prop-throwing man gave me and many others in this thread joy and laughter. So are you the only one who counts? If it doesn’t make YOU laugh, then it’s not funny? Are you suggesting you have standards for what’s funny? Hmmmmmmm… yet it’s wrong to have standards for what’s art?
I love your complete and utter lack of logic! My gods, I thought this would be a boring afternoon, but between prop-throwing man, your stupidity, and some of the clever insults in this hipster-versus-hater argument today are really making sure that this day is full of joy, happiness, and laughter.
Thank you, prop-throwing man. You’ve really saved the day. And thank you, folks at Die Hipster, for giving me chuckles almost every day! You really brighten up these dull afternoons when I have nothing else to do for the day but endless, boring data entry. You’re doing a true service to the world!
Really? I remember riding a crowded N train when a guy got on wielding an alto sax rainbow wig, oversized sunglasses, glitter pants and a gold lame’ top. He proceeded to tell everyone he was from Mars and that he came here to serenade the ladies because well Mars needs women.
His idea of “serenading” was to bit down on the reed while blowing, causing a heinous shrieking sound.
His shtick was humorous for about 30 seconds. But being stuck in a tunnel..in a crowded train with no AC for 30 minutes? In five minutes peopel were ready to rip this guy limb from limb. Finally as we got moving again two construction workers whispered in his ear and when the doors open physically threw him out of the train. While EVERYONE cheered.
What? They didn’t tip their hats and toss him silver dollars??
The train must have been full of hateful lowlifes who don’t get art!
You wouldn’t happen to be Matty’s mommy, would you?
You expend an awful lot of energy typing in Matty’s defense. If you don’t like this site, stay the fuck off of it and find something better suited to your tastes; although I shudder to think of what that might entail. The people who post on here have every right to express their opinions and you have every right to round up the de-institutionalized mental patients and found the Transplant Chapter of the Matty Silver Fan Club.
You have created an entire page where you hate on someone. You should be prepared for people to express a different opinion than yours. The fact that you continue to compare people to “retards” and “mental patients” just for calmly expressing their opinions is absolutely absurd. Continue to attack those who feel and think differently than you do. I promise it won’t get you far.
yeah Hans and piggy backing off of you attacking those who think different.. hmmm if we’re gonna play the name calling game isn’t that what all of those fascist dictators did?
lol this one is straight outta the FAQ’s.
What if Matty decided one day to take a shit in the middle of Union Square? Would you still stand up for him then? How about if he started jacking off? I mean, he’s just expressing his opinion, maaan.
He is a talentless wanker. Talentless.
You and Molly are fucking unbelievable. Do you not have any taste at all, or is it “all good” to you?
I appreciate great artists and musicians who actually have worked at their craft an have talent.
You two obviously will swallow what anyone throws at you.
I think you missed the part where I exposed them as Matthew the amazing Transplant.
“It’s so sad that in your precious free time you sit around and judge a man who’s goal really is to spread joy and laughter.” Yeah, he’s doing a fantastic job, seems like only spoiled wannabe artist fruitcakes like yourself find this joyful, and much more people are just annoyed and don’t want to be subjected to this talentless nonsense. This attention-whore doesn’t have to work for a living (for some mysterious reason) and this is how he chooses to contribute to society in his free time. Disgraceful, uncreative, disruptive.
What on earth are you all so angry about? Whether you like what he’s doing or not, New York would be boring as fuck without people who have some desire to express themselves…in the world, not just on message bords. If someone getting some attention fills you with this much bile, you must need some yourself.
I recall being in Washington Square Park around midnight and listening to someone play piano songs by request. It was beautiful — in large part because it required actual talent and he was catering to what the people wanted. This guy basically having a seizure in public while in his damn underwear is pretty much the definition of a no talent assclown.
amen.
amen.
my amen is to “why did i end up on this site”
Relaaaaaxxxx Molly, stop getting your personalities mixed up.
Because concern trolling affords time wasters the illusion of moral superiority.
It would be more “real” if this performance art was run over by a bus
Agreed 110%
I didn’t get to see this video before the butthurt pussy made it private, but I’ve seen some of the others posted here. If you’ve seen one of his videos, you’ve seen them all: he’s screaming nonsense, stripped naked except for a diaper/speedo/whatever the fuck, like a lunatic who smoked some PCP, getting in people’s faces as they go to work. I sure don’t need this shit while I’m going to work, while I’m thinking about the day ahead of me.
He’s just another annoying piece of shit we are all forced to put up with, to the point where somebody is going to kick his ass. IF YOU PISS PEOPLE OFF, THEY WILL KICK YOUR ASS. IT’S VERY SIMPLE. Get it????
Why can’t he go to Brownsville and express his freedom in a Speedo and feather boas while screaming in people’s faces on Livonia Avenue? Too much of a pussy perhaps? Is he too afraid he’d get a different kind of attention? Why does it have to be Union Square? There’s enough artist/EDPs there already.
I’m angry because
1. NYC is morphing into some twee, nice place like Portland because overpraised overfunded “artists” are pricing out real people, with real lives out of their own neighborhoods. Fuck Portland
2. Trite MFA “artists” who flatter themselves that they are urban pioneers because they move into neighborhoods with actual working folk, whom they characterize as “gritty.”
3. BUT I love Die Hipster because I can vent, it’s not about what some transplant from Sheboygan thinks is polite, it’s about what we really think about our dying neighborhoods.
4. I’m angry that NYC is in such decline it produces nothing. It’s emergence as a tourist, financier and hipster mecca only proves that it no longer actually PRODUCES anything of value
You gotta just wonder if this isn’t some form of mental illness. I mean who in their right mind would even consider doing what this dude does. But then there are so many of these “artists” who couldn’t make any real art to save their lives. And boy do I wish I had gotten to see the video before it went private. If only to see a sane person stand up to this arrested development wastes of space.
Just noticed this on Matty’s site:
I will probably follow [the guy who kicked my shit all over the place's] wishes not to wear a speedo. Union Square is a great place to express freedom but it is also a community of people and for now I will respect his wishes unless he gives me more grief.
Damn, that guy really is a hero. By using violence he accomplished soemthing, and will spare the rest of us from future public viewings of Matty in a speedo. I guess violence is all these people understand.
Well then I hope he wears nothing and offends you even more.
He hasn’t got the guts to wear nothing and risk arrest.
If I was outside in my underwear, I’d be arrested. So fuck him.
What kind of bubble is this dummy living in that he only now realizes Union Square is “a community of people”? What capable, actually contributing member of society would not know that it’s not ok to draw attention to yourself in a speedo when there’s children around? If he really wants to help make the world a better place why doesn’t he do some real community service or go somewhere where there really are no liberties? I would like to see him in a speedo “expressing freedom” in the Middle East/Korean DMZ/China/Aleppo
Excellent point. I would definitely chip in for a one way plane ticket to Pyongyang for this clown.
Mattie would make a perfect playmate for Kim Jong Un.
In that 21 seconds of crying this baby has already added VASTLY more quality material to the world of art than Mathew Silver has in his years of “performing”.
“With the crypts” lol.
That video sums up everything we’ve been saying.
Bearded pussy gets blatantly punked out in front of a crowd of witnesses.
Also confirms the hippie=hipster thing.
I never thought I’d say this, but I think you just insulted the flower children.
So then what’s a “real New Yorker”? A guy who has nothing to do but hang out in union square all day, every day, fucking with people’s property and lives?
Inquiring minds would love to know.
Based on your comments: Perhaps it’s someone who has lived in New York their entire life and maintains a self-righteous ego-maniacal bullshit grandiose entitlement to judging everyone in their path? Because if so, “REAL New Yorkers” are virtually nonexistent.
Go on believing that everyone in NYC looks at each other with hate in their eyes, but in actuality New Yorkers are a whole lot more open-minded and compassionate than residents of most other places.
And go on and live your hate-filled lives, but I can guarantee your attitude toward people in general is why you have to hide behind a computer screen and (post-PBR/pre-masturbation) rant with cyber-bullies by mutually projecting your shared insecurities on strangers instead of,
I don’t know, laughing with friends.
The crazy thing is, I had to read your comment carefully twice, because for all your attempts to stand up for him and criticise us, every single word of it could also be used as a criticism of him, and of people like you who come on here and defend him.
hahahahah Brilliant!
A “real New Yorker is someone BORN AND RAISED HERE who was here when NYC was gritty. Obviously, you are as weak as a pinkie finger and your bff Molly. We could care less about non-natives. We wish you would all get out. You should go watch the video posted on the bottom of the Depression Era Couple piece and watched as your fellow hipster gets his punk ass tossed by a scary black man. That’s what happens to punks like you when you open your mouth to “real New Yorkers” in the real world instead of talking trash on the computer. Punk bitch.
aw bff yay… -___-
I’m not afraid of anyone, but apparently you’re racist.
Talentless attention whore.
How is he racist? I find that funny coming from a hipster. Hipsters are serious closet racists. I can deal with someone who is up front with their racism since I know who and what I’m dealing with. Hipster closet racists disgust me because they’re spineless chickenshits who will kiss your ass to avoid a possible beating but will turn around and spout all kinds of racist shit to someone they ASSUME is a racist skinhead (who happens to be a friend of mine).
Pinkie, you sir have more intelligence and integrity than any of these haters combined. Please continue to preach your wisdom to these poor excuses for humankind.
Haters gonna hate. Matthew, keep doing what your doing. Stay based. Fuck these bloggers.
Yes, keep your head up Matthew; you’re the bestest widdle kidult in the whole wide world!
“Haters gonna hate.”
Just when you thought these asswipes couldn’t get even more original….. we get that zinger!
there’s that fucking idiotic and unoriginal term again, “hater”.
It’s fitting since being idiotic and unoriginal are two very important characteristics in being a hipster.
unoriginal….blah, you just said ‘hipster’
The funny part is that the self-appointed king of all exhibitionists is taking down his videos.
I love how afraid all of the posters are here to put their real names online!
agreed
yea, tough guy!
That shut them up.
Internet anonymity. Ever heard of it? Hell, I’m sure you “showed” us all with that fake name of yours. Look guys! This dude can use a dictionary! Oh by I’m impressed!
God, do you even know how the world works?
Haha.
Apparently not.
I am a little confused. Are you suggesting I looked up my own name in the dictionary?

Nathan Maxwell Cann = chocolate artisan at Raaka, instructor of experimental film at 3rd ward
Also check out main profile picture of him with hipster mustache and red woolly beanie.
can’t make this stuff up.
3rd ward? is that like a mental hospital?
In other words, he’s another talentless, pretentious douche whose parents spent beaucoup bucks for some degree in the arts. He’s a walking fauxhemian cliche.
LOLLLLLL
Actually, I worked myself through school, learned how to make the best damn chocolate this side of Columbia, and now I make my living teaching others the creative craft that I love. What’s so wrong about that?
Now, I believe that facial hair has been a constant with human men for about (and this is a rough estimate, of course) 10,000 years now… First mustache was documented in an Iranian portrait from around 300 B.C., so that’s pretty old. I started growing my facial hair when I hit puberty, which may be the reason you boys are having such trouble growing your own. As for Mr. Silver, his facial hair (both head and face) seems to change with each character he puts forth. I personally, really liked his look as the “doomsayer” as he called it.
Also, that “beanie” is actually a pair of red pajama bottoms that belong to my girlfriend. It was part of my costume for a themed party.
I signed in using my information because I was prompted by the website. I have nothing to hide. You call out Matthew by name in this public forum, so why not do the same? This forum is a little too toxic for my tastes and my time, so this is the last you will hear from me, but it has been a blast. Good luck with all your future ranting.
Nathan Maxwell Cann = Talentless Douchebag
That’s because we have real lives that we like to keep separate from the internet. We’re not parentally funded, talentless, psuedo-artistic attention whoring “failures in denial” who still haven’t recovered from the beatdown they suffered in high school at the hands of the Anime geeks. I bet Naruto cosplayers give you anxiety and panic attacks.
You put your real name online because like all hipsters you have this uncontrollable urge to scream “LOOK AT MEEEE! LOOK AT MEEEEE!” The thing is no one fucking cares. You look like the average beta-male pussy (I’ve yet to meet a hipster that wasn’t one) who looks he’s going to piss himself when I make eye contact with him.
You put your real name online because like all hipsters you have this uncontrollable urge to scream “LOOK AT MEEEE! LOOK AT MEEEEE!”
OF COURSE he wanted you to search his name. Would you expect anything less than a smug, narcissistic from this artbrat cornball from Maryland?
Point taken.
My name is Edward Orta. I am a 47 year old electrician, born and raised on S 6th St., Williamsburg. I sometimes visit this blog but rarely comment. I meant what i said on my post today and am not afraid to let you know who I am. Why do you defend this so-called “art”? Why do you accept that a very nearly nude man in a public place around children is ok?
ps: I posted as “Embarrassed for All Humanity” because it is a real reflection of how I felt when I saw this video… not because I was afraid.
Notice that none of those dickwads came back to you. I applaud you!
Nice to meet you Edward. Personally, I don’t find anything wrong with nudity in public spaces. In fact, I feel that teaching anxiety and insecurity about nude body images to children only leads to further neurotic and destructive behavior in teenagers and adults. In my experience, that always seems to be the case. Why isn’t it O.K. with you?
Nathan Maxwell Cann = Mast Brother Wannabe
Are you insane? If you truly feel that way, why don’t you go naked to a local playground and explain to all the anxious, insecure parents that you’re “helping their children to create a healthy body image”? Do you even have kids/know what you’re talking about? If you do, are you so “secure” that you go out nude in public together? Is that “art” to you?
I know some parents who would literally kill that fucker or come damn close if he pulled that shit. No one wants to see some skinny fat herb who’s built like a Sesame street muppet (Grover) in the buff.
Why is that people who are the most “nudity friendly” are often the most visually offensive and actually look like they stink?
“n fact, I feel that teaching anxiety and insecurity about nude body images to children only leads to further neurotic and destructive behavior in teenagers and adults. In my experience, that always seems to be the case. ”
Nathan Maxwell Cann = child molester
Right? I think it stems from their fear of accepting people who do what they love to do, which peobably stems from a fear and hatred of themselves
probably*
You’re just jealous that he’s bringing happiness and joy to NYC.
yah, you guys are like, so profound and insightful. What is so joyful about a grown man who prances around a public park w/ his ass cheeks hanging out, acting like a buffoon?!
Maybe you need to go back and read the Constitution and court decisions – anonymous commentary is a cherished right amongst free peoples.

First, Middle, Last. Let me know when you make your hipster pilgrimage to Austin. Unless you are too afraid to meet up? Your name just screams elitist hipster douche. I hope some of my brethren in Greenpoint and Brighton Beach start teaching you guys a lesson before all of the real hardworking transplants get priced out of their homes. Don’t fuck with Eastern Europeans
Nathan Maxwell Cann will not journey outside of his comfort zone. Here, he found a gentrified home of other “special and creative” types. Here, he is can play big-shot, Mr. Media, Master of Creativity…. That is why they come here.. outside their SunnyD, cul-de-sac bubble they are WORTHLESS, but in the magical gentrified urban setting surrounded by other interloping sacks of shit, they are SPECIAL (just like mommy said they would be). Take them outside of their delusional bubble and they are as worthless and lame as the silent fart I “created” last year during the World Series.
Actually, I was born and raised in the sticks. Far away from Baltimore in the rural country side, Amish country. In truth, city life isn’t for me (I miss the clean air, eating fresh food and picking berries in the sun, and sleeping under the shade of a tree) and I am moving out to the country. You can keep this polluted, overpopulated concrete jungle with its angry hoards. Stasha, you shouldn’t judge a fellow by his given name, but I hope to change your mind if I ever see you in Texas. I hear Austin is great!
Then take it home, you walking cliché.
Talk about cliches, here is his artistic output. I feel like I’ve seen this video thousands of times already. Perhaps it’s because it follows a tired, decades old, overused formula: A collage of unrelated, “risky” or “edgy” film clips tacked together with music of some sort playing. By the numbers hipster tripe:
http://vimeo.com/4121500
You mean that thing that keeps getting 14 year old girls raped and murdered? Yeah, tell everybody who you are. While you’re at it, show your address! Everyone who doesn’t is a pansy, right? Give me your name and address, unless you’re a pansy! Anyone who exercises common sense is a wuss! Because, OMG if hipsters knew my name they’d come by with baseball bats and torches! *LOL* If my real name could be found on the internet, I’d be scared shitless to make fun of people in the comments section on a blog!
This thread just keeps getting better and better. All we need now is for somebody to start lecturing us on how much work and effort Matthew Silver puts into his “performances” and tell us about how he communicates the hardships of life, and I very well may die laughing. C’mon, Molly, what do you think? Did Matthew Silver spend four years thinking the thoughts that put that act together?
Remember this shit from earlier this year?
“LIKE LIKE LIKE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
“LIKE LIKE LIKE HE WASNT DOING ANYTHING WRRRRRRRRRONG?
Notice how you in this clip you can also hear the exact same suburban nasal tantrum and suburban nasal whining that waspresent in Matthew’s video before he removed it.
YOUR SUBURBAN NASAL TANTRUMS & WHINING ABSOLUTELY MEAN JACK SHIT ON THE STREET WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN.
SO SHUT THE FUCK UP.
THESE FUCKING DISGUSTING URBAN PIONEER TRY HARDS ARE ALL CARBON COPIES OF EACH OTHER
woohoo police state!
THE SAME COPS YOU INSULT AND TALK SHIT ABOUT ARE THE SAME COPS YOU CALL WHEN YOUR APPLE PRODUCTS GET SNATCHED AWAY FROM YOU ON THE STREET
Wouldn’t ever call the cops. Waist of time. Biggest gang of goons and lackeys in NYC. NYPD = New York Putrefaction & Decay. Also, why would I use an apple product? They are maid by little Chinese boys and not good ol’ American boys.
“Waste” not “waist.” Dumb ass.
“made” not “maid.” Dumb ass.
“Waist of time.” ESL?
Bullshit. You hiptards ready to suck a cop’s dick the moment something happens to you. I currently live in a city with a hiptard infestation, and trust me — they call the cops so much they’re on a first name basis with the dispatchers. I know for a fact that if I have to let some 120lb skinny-fat beta-douche “know what time it is” because his PBR induced courage has put him on my bad side, I had better leave the premises because the boys in blue WILL show up looking for yours truly.
FaceTheFacts? Maybe YOU should face the facts that all of this nonsense you’re spewing is all fueling by the “ideals” and “identites” you have created in your own ignorance.
“NYPD = New York Putrefaction & Decay”
HAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! you’re so fucking funny and clever!!!! learn how to spell, shitbag.
Well that’s exactly what YOU are cheering for when you complain about the rights of your fellow citizens to engage in anonymous commentary, dumbass.
Who could forget it. I shot hours of video of OWS. Here’s one from Zucotti Square about a month into it. The smell almost made me pass out.
Love it! Feel good movie of the year! Should have arrrseted the whistle blower for disturbing the peace too!
I like Matthew. I never saw him as a hipster; just a dude who wanted to do stupid weird things to make people laugh…didn’t get to see the video.
agreed. He’s just trying to enjoy himself and take a few others along for the ride! I’m still wondering what makes someone a “hipster”
Perhaps I’m missing something here but could someone explain to me as to how Mattie Boy “enjoying himself” can be seen as enjoyable to others???
if you can’t see it – you need way more help than I could give you
These are the same precious snowflakes whose parents raised them to believe that every fart and puddle of drool was a special achievement worthy of praise. They are just being the look-at-me narcissists they were raised to be. They cannot fathom the idea that most people wouldn’t be positively delighted to look at them “enjoying themselves.” The concept of “others” only comes into play when other people are validating them. They lose their shit when that validation doesn’t happen — as this comment thread illustrates.
Hans, read the FAQs. It spells out what a hipster is.
He knows exactly what a hipster is. The whole “what’s a hipster?” act is one of the defining characteristics of a hipster.
It’s not being a “talentless attention whore” that’s the problem…it’s being a bearded nasal vagina who can’t stand up for himself.
Hipsters out there with even half of one ball should feel deep shame to be associated with this gaywad.
No, the talentless attention whore is a HUGE part of it.
Oh god, look at all of these hipster apologists. What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be planking or stealing someone else’s hobbies and ruin them for everyone somewhere else?
Oh and Molly L, nice sockpuppets you have there.
sockpuppets, aw that cute.
Talentless cankles.
i’m pretty sure most cankles are talentless yes, please show me some that are full of talent and drive.
Okay. Bend over.
you’d like that, wouldn’t you?
Go get raped by ex-con homothugs from Rikers Island, and die from the blood loss.
In honor of Elvis, here’s a guy I taped in the subway a few months ago. I thought he was pretty good.
By the way, I’ve updated the post describing what happened in the video.
“By the way, I’m completely obsessed with Matthew Silver and spend all my time on this website.”
Butthurt much? Face it, your hero is a pussy (just like you and the rest of your shitty excuse for a subculture). A REAL “performance artist” would not take that video down.
what makes a real performance artist? Please “educate me”
… spew some more ignorance why don’t cha?

Thanks I hadn’t gotten to see it before talentless attention whore took it down. I would pay money to watch someone put that hipster in his place.
The black guys was willing to risk going to bookings/jail/prison etc to conclude this mother fuckers performance.
THIS IS WHAT NEW YORKERS ARE WILLING TO DO TO STOP YOUR FUCKING BULLSHIT. Let this be a lesson to hipsters/transplanters. You can come to New York with all your bullshit, perform all you want and what not, but at some point or another someone is going to step to you and this will more than likely be the result.
DEAL WITH IT.
O.K. I’m bored.
Of course you are. Ever notice that the classic hipster response after being told, over and over, to shut the fuck up and go jerk off somewhere else is “Bored now”?
Good. . . now you know how people feel when they’re dealing with you.
Now you know how non-hipsters feel when confronted with hipster “art” and music.
I haven’t been bored all day reading these posts. It is very refreshing to see that people who were born and raised in Brooklyn like myself are just as disgusted as I am with you fake ass “artists.”. What really amazes me about hipsters is that no matter where in suburbialand they hail from, they all have the same exact voice and use the same overused phrases and words. These are some very creative and original individuals.
“O.K. I’m bored.”
Typical yupster shitrag comment – dripping with smug nasalness…
Yet, look at him. He has no reason to be smug when everything about him screams “severely damaged DNA” and “fucked at a genetic level”.
LOL! I replied this morning stating he was looking for attention and found it. I also added that what the “prop-thrower” did was also performance art. In his reply he stated “not that kind of attention” but he did agree that the prop thrower’s antics was performance art (LOL!)

End of story.
MATTHEW’S NYC URBAN PLAYDATE & PARENTALLY FUNDED NYC URBAN ADVENTURE HAS JUST BEEN SHITTED ON BY A REAL NEW YORKER
MATTHEW I KNOW YOU ARE OUT THERE READING THIS
I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO PACK UP YOUR THINGS AND TRY TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION SEEKING ACT DOWN HERE TO WASHINGTON DC
I GUARANTEE YOU ALL OF THE 12 YEAR OLD PUBLIC SCHOOL KIDS OVER HERE WOULD ABSOLUTELY BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOU
ART ART ART ART ART ART ART ART ART ART ART ART ART ART ART ART ART ART
Do your act in Rosslyn so all the grade-schoolers on their class trips could point and laugh at you while working people slapped the shit out of you until the cops haul you away to the psych ward.
Wow…. This is just bizarre. I fully agree that far too many zany homeless street performers looking for attention will hide under the name of “Art.” But here’s the thing: Art is expression meant to demonstrate a truth about human nature. It’s the study of our own narrative.
Now, see, I’ve worked freelance with NPR for a little over a year. In that time I’ve headlined workshops that have won many prestigious awards, including the “Best Radio Doc. of 2011″ from the Society of Professional Journalism. I am also a working actor, with paid shows at established venues. And I take tech gigs from film studios on the weekends. So…. when I see something like this; I have to ask…. What does it say about US?
Your entire argument is that Matthew Silver’s art only says he’s looking for attention. But notice that he posted the video. See, speaking from a professional standpoint, I think that’s brilliant. Because the attention is no longer on him– it’s on you.
It’s on the people stealing and throwing the props of a helpless “insane” street performer. It’s on the people slandering his name, their own names, and the name of Journalism by posting this dreck in an “article.” See, I’m offended by that. That’s making a mockery of the art that I do professionally. But I’m not going to bully you on the world stage because of it. I’ll just call you out and watch you flail around trying to defend your misconceptions after they’ve been cleared from the table. …It should be quite interesting. Are you ready?
Good. Now, let’s take just a moment to look at this as mature journalists who understand the art world. It shouldn’t be too hard. You do have the passion and drive. …Enough of it to force the man’s hand into taking his videos down because he feels bullied in adult life. I’d commend you, except, I’m not an asshole.
Without any further adu, let’s dive in. Already covered the “Why does this article need to be written?” So, let’s take a look at what it’s saying.
mmmm….hmmmmmm…… First question: How does one casually throw shit around?
Union Square Park, which, I’m absolutely certain will never be renamed Matthew Silver Square (or any variation of that) as it plays host to a million different street performers each day. Some of whom have less of an understanding of art than this guy. I mean, I grew up going to acting school across from the Square at the Strasberg Institute. I’ve seen honest to god hobos with microphones in that park since I was six. The only thing that sets this one apart? Is all of the attention that the opposition is forcing upon him.
Artists do have a right to chose their audience. It’s often the single most important part of knowing HOW to perform. You write for a crowd. Not every crowd has the same tastes.
This guy writes for the Union Square crowd. I grew up here, I ate my lunches in that park from the age of 6. I went to school three blocks down. And to Meeting 4 blocks in the other direction. He writes for the Union Square crowd. And people who live in this city. People who actually LIVE in the city, interact with its flaura and fauna and use it’s resources….. they already know that.
So. What, in point of fact, happened, was some guy who had been having a shit day strolled down the wrong street, and because there was an idiot doing the type of thing that idiots in Union Square have ALWAYS done (and, in fact, that both idiots and their audiences are attracted to the park FOR) He interrupted, picked up several items that did not belong to him, and threw them around.
You can not “casually” throw something around. “Casual” is a word mean “friendly and inconspicuous. Without meaning.” …. Shit thrown through the air is never inconspicuous. It is never friendly. And the existence of the video says it meant a shit ton to the performer. Matthew got upset. Yes. But he was not throwing a tantrum. He was having an emotional reaction to a stranger’s intrusion and very personal offense. Someone being stupid does not give you the right to be personally offensive. Stupidity isn’t a crime. If it were, you’d be in jail.
Because see, what you’ve actually done is so incredibly stupid that I have to wonder if it isn’t actually smart. You’re not secretly Matthew Silver’s press agent, are you? Publicity stunt? Cause… I mean… this is pretty textbook, hombre.
You’ve made the idiot into an artist. Because you’ve given meaning to his ramblings. Every comment on this article is about Matthew Silver. You’re spreading his name faster than jumping up and down in the park ever could have done. Bravo! Thank you for saving the day, Bad Guy!
Unfortunately, the only message you’ve spread is “human beings are assholes and fucks. New Yorkers are heartless. And I, myself, am ass backward.”
The last part may be true, but…. it seems like such a morose tone to end on. Remember, man, write for the audience.
Here. Let a real New Yorker help you. Because as much as you’ve thrown that word around… Hi. My name is Eric Grayson. My older brother Paul and my Uncle Harry worked in the towers. They were both killed. I grew up in the 9/11 generation, getting my face shoved into by cops for defending the idea that the memory of dead New Yorkers should not be used to wage war. Thanks to NPR and Radio Rookies, ten years later, I became one of 6 reporters who would lend a voice to the 9/11 generation. Aside from having won several journalism awards for it, you can find my piece in the Memorial Museum at Ground Zero. … This is my city. And I speak rationally and without emotion when I say; you have nothing on me, that I don’t have on the city’s History.
SO. From a REAL real New Yorker.
Ask not what New York can do for you, ask who the fuck you think you are?
I don’t care if he’s an artist, a loony, a bum, a foreigner. He’s a person. Just like the dude who started throwing his shit, Matthew Silver is a human being going about his daily life. Just as everyone in New York City has always been. Don’t fucking lord your status as a New Yorker. Be aware that those who have more claim to this city than you are telling you we’re supposed to share it.
You are not his parents. And he does not need you to be. New York City has always been the Mecca of the Theatre Artist. It’s what built Coney Island and Broadway. It’s what transformed the trade district into the World Trade Center. And it plays host to people like him every. single. day. Some people enjoy it. People have different opinions, that’s not a crime. It’s how progress happens. But when your opinion is to punish someone for existing, expect to be called out. You’re not special, no one is. That seems to be your argument against him. Take your own advice.
You want to spread seriousness and rational? Good. Do so. But not by tearing others down. Our generation lives on too much hatred already. Take it from someone who grew up in the center of the storm; it’s not healthy.
It’s a perpetual cycle. You tell him to grow up, someone tells you to grow up, you call that person names. That person phones in me. And because she’s an old friend, and because…. YES. You people are fucking retarded. I take 15 minutes to draft something up. Now… let’s watch it cycle round and round as you attempt to get back the upper hand. Because I could be wrong, but trying to fight it would prove me right on how you’re conducting yourself. And not doing so would prove me right on Matthew Silver. …I’ve never called the bloke a serious artist. So the question is: Do you care more about your dignity, or his expression? Cause one of those answers is just sad.
The self-righteousness just jumps off the screen
Perhaps. Or perhaps what you’re viewing is someone more qualified than you, who is not shy, pointing out how self-righteous you are being. You’re the one arguing that your peace of mind is more important than someone else’s. I’m not special. I’ve made a success out of one of our city’s biggest tragedies because I realize; I’m not special. I’m stubborn. So are you, but you don’t admit it.
You genuinely think that you have the right to tear this guy down. So you will be torn down. It isn’t “SELF” righteousness when it’s all in defense of someone ELSE. And in fact, the person I’m defending here is everyone. I’ll grant you this guy being an idiot. I will not grant you the right to throw his shit. It’s childish. EVERYONE has the right to go about their day. Their day may entail different things. You don’t get to decide. Grow up.
“I’VE MADE A SUCCESS OUT OF ONE OF OUR CITY’S BIGGEST TRAGEDIES…”
You win asshole of the year with that comment. Like I said, the self-righteousness jumps off the screen.
Yeah, I was also in the Trade Center when it was attacked (worked there for nearly 10 years) and lost some good friends…. we’re all so proud of your awards. Congratulations, you’re a saint.
If my day entails beating the shit out of some 35 year old freak in underwear, I have a right to go about my day. You may not agree with it, and the police will arrest me, but, according to your bohemian pansey ass logic, I am entitled to it. You don’t get to decide. So grow up
It’s not in defense of someone else, you moron. You are Matthew Silver, aren’t you?
No one “forced” him to take down his video.
And no one should bite their tongue when graced with the presence of talentless artists.
Get over yourself.
If a person feels unsafe, they are obligated to secure their safety. Those are the basic laws of survival. This is why things like “Slander” and “Liable” are actual on the record crimes that you can do jail time for.
And if no one should bite their tongue in the presence of talentless artists, then the second half of your statement is irrelevent. I don’t write for DieHipster.Com. I write for NPR. I’ve won the DART award, the PRX Zeitfunk, and the SPJ “Best Radio Doc of 2011″ for my reporting.
Telling at artist who, frankly, is at a lower level, to stop picking on those at lower levels isn’t self-righteous. It’s charitable. Get over yourself, civilian.
Yeah, we get it — you’ve won awards. I haven’t seen this much sanctimony since J-school.
Contrary to what you think, most of the posters here are not talking about themselves, nor name/award dropping.
Get over yourself.
And I’m sadly all too familiar with these sorts of awards. The SPJ award might actually mean something if not for the fact that the people jacking off about being a member are, like members of Mensa, desperately clinging to having some kind of affiliation that puts them above us mere mortals. And the PRX Zeitfunk? That has about as much relevance in the real world as the Saturn Awards, and lower than that I can’t get.
Funny you mention Mensa since they share similar traits with hipsters: social rejects that think they are superior to those not in their group but don’t realize that everyone else is laughing at how ridiculous they are.
It’s “libel,” Mr. Award-Winning Smartest Most Journalistic Snowflake Ever.
Busted! Nice catch Penelope.
(Cue awesome journalist Eric’s excuse saying he posted that with his iPhone).
again let the grammar nazi’s commence
Pointing out that liable and libel have different meanings has nothing to do with grammar. A journalist, award winning or not, should know these definitions.
It’s not grammar; it’s spelling. And libel is a pretty important legal concept for a journalist. One would hope that a Very Important Award-Winning NPR Journalist like your pal would know how to tell the difference between “liable” and “libel.”
A “journalist” should know how to use proper grammar.
This guy goes out of his way to act like a moron, and rub it in our faces. Sorry, but we do have the right to tear him down. You know his act is fucking garbage and if really was doing a performance people wouldnt get so pissed off. We are grown up. While we go to work, this asshole sits on a sidewalk and makes an ass out of himself. Saying he sits on the sidewalk is an understatement because he takes up as much space as possible (LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!) and we have to show him respect? Sorry bud. I hope someone runs over him with a car, it gets put on youtube, and I’ll call that performance art. Your not as smart as you are….watch his videos. Your asking people to show him respect…really? Are you that naive? Fucking pathetic
Judging by the content so far displayed, are you sure that your “writing for NPR” doesn’t consist of leaving your Chatroulette URL on NPR restroom walls?
Libel, ye awarded one.
Wow NPR: So your proud to be a propagandist!
I also think it is safe to say that anyone outside your industry has never heard of any of these awards your going on about. They are just some obscure inter industry circle jerk.
Look at meeee and my awards! No one gives a fuck. And I am being charitable.
This guy was such a sanctimonious douche that I immediately replied without reading the thread. Sorry for the redundancy.
By the way, NPR is the Hipster news source.
NPR requires a degree Sanctimoniousness to work there.
Hey Greyzone,
Got to the party a little late here, but I want you to know that I will be writing to NPR to ask, if they endorse your comments here. You keep invoking them, so it”s only fair.
If you really do have something in the 9/11 Museum, and have won the awards you say you have, you should be easily identifiable.
I will also be sending your insults of New Yorkers to my congressman (Gary Ackerman of Queens) and my senators to ask why my tax dollars should be funding someone like you.
Eric, you are brilliant.
Who the fuck is Eric? Can’t even call your sockpuppets right eh?
Hi. Eric.
Hi. Eric. The hell was I supposed to know that through your username? I’m not a magician.
He stated his name in the article. Try reading it again
Eh, no thanks. I’ve got better things to do.
Hans, Molly, GrayZone13, Eric, whoever the fuck that other dude was… They are probably all the same person.
Bloke? That’s a British word. Real New Yorker my ass…
Oh, and 9/11 generation? Lmao. Come back and preach when you were raised in the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s New York. The real shit. Yeah, didn’t think so. You claim to be a real New Yorker but you were growing up around Union Sq around the time of 9/11? Ok. That tells us all we need to know.
Yes. It is all you need to know. I’m sorry- what major event in the History of New York city happened in the 60s, 70s, or 80s?
9/11 is the defining crisis of our time. And no, I wasn’t growing up here at the time. My older brother worked in the towers. My brother and uncle were killed there. I was an activist against the war from the age of 15. I broke into Journalism writing for WNYC on a story about the 9/11 generation which plays at the memorial museum.
You’re talking your own anecdotal history with New York City. I’m talking Global Events. You don’t hold a candle here, you pretentious little shit. And calling someone’s dead family into question is a move that you had best be thankful to be making from behind a computer screen.
Fuck you for bringing 9/11 into this. You’ve just earned the World’s Biggest Douchebag Award to add to your collection of fakeass journalism awards. I have coworkers who worked themselves to the bone in EMS, Fire, NYPD, as well as all the hospital workers, nurses, trauma surgeons, doctors, in 9/11. Those are my coworkers you cockrag. We lost a lot of our brothers and sisters there too, and some of the survivors have serious health problems as a result.. You act like you’re the only precious snowflake to lose somebody in 9/11. Your little NPR internship blog is NOTHING compared to the work we did down there.
You bullshit people always throw in 9/11 as a last ditch effort when you know you don’t have a leg to stand on. FUCK OFF.
Gee. Nobody’s life experience could possibly matter if it wasn’t highly publicized. How could we not see that? Were you working in the damn WTC? Were you one of the millions of people who worked hard to clean up the mess and/or rescue people from inside? No? Then fuck you. Stop hiding behind 9/11. If somebody has lived here since the 70′s, clearly they were also here when 9/11 occurred, so what’s your point?
I love that everyone either calls you pretentious and doesn’t take the time to read this
they can’t, Molly. If they took the time they’d have to admit that they were wrong. And all anyone here really cares about is being right. Just like I said at the end of my first statement. I pointed out that this would happen. And that they would prove that they either cared about their dignity or his expression.
How much dignity is their in calling out a 9/11 victim who’s voice can be heard in the Freedom Tower on “not being a New Yorker?” If they want to resort to grasping at straws, I can only be grateful that they have proven me right.
Moonbat infestation….
Jesus, shouldn’t you have posted that long-winded sanctimonious tripe as an entry on your own blog, instead of as a comment on another person’s blog? Also, DH is a journalistic site? HAHAHA! That’s a good one. Tell us another.
Technically blogging is a form of a journalism. Just because they’re content to release tripe doesn’t exclude them from their own genre. That would be why I don’t run a blog. I think it would be an insult to the people I work with in the NPR Newsroom. And if your only come back for “leave the dude alone” is “Stop being so sactimonious”
“Don’t be a fuck and I won’t have to.”
Technically, your head appears to be wedged so far up your ass that the lack of oxygen is causing your brain to shrivel up and wither away. A blogger and a journalist are two distinct occupations. This blog is not affiliated with any journalistic outlet, nor does it make any pretense of being a journalistic source. Between the head up ass syndrome and nasty case of butthurt, you are making no sense. This is why everyone here will continue to ridicule you and your cohorts.
My comeback would be that it’s ridiculous to expect blogs to be the same things as news articles. If they were exactly the same, “blogs” wouldn’t be “blogs.” Besides, considering the absolute horseshit that often comes out of journalism and calls itself the truth, I don’t see just what in the fuck you are so proud of. You work for people who make a business out of lying and you want me to praise you for that? Go fuck yourself.
That is, if you’re even a journalist. I bet you’re not. I bet you’re either Matthew Silver under yet another name, or somebody whose cousin’s friend’s brother is a journalist or something.
HAHAHAH
“YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE I’VE WON SEVERAL AWARDS”
“YOU SHOULDN’T USE 9/11 TO WAGE WAR BUT I’LL MENTION IT HERE TO WAGE SANCTIMONY”
“IT’S OK FOR CHILDREN TO SEE PUBES PEEKING OUT FROM UNDER A SPEEDO IN A PUBLIC PLACE”
Wow. I pity you, little sheep. Run along to your Fox News shepard.
hahaha fox news shepard
Do you mean shepherd? You are a rather poor speller for an award-winning NPR journalist.
looks like someone else is looking for a participation award.
ROFLMAO!!!! You are definitely the same as Hans and Molly. Jesus, you don’t learn, do you?
I limped out of the Pentagon on 9-11. I lost several friends that day. You are trying to capitalize on the dead. You are disgusting and despicable, and dishonor those who died.
^this.
I’m sorry buddy, but I can’t be bothered to read all that hyperbole.
I did get far enough to note that you work for NPR, a once relatively decent radio station meant to serve THE PUBLIC at large. ( note: that’s NOT ‘the majority’ of hipsters or youth or white suburban kids, but THE PUBLIC – which means EVERYONE WHO ACTUALLY WORKS AND PAYS TAXES TO FUND IT WHEN THEY AREN’T ALSO PLEDGING DURING DRIVES ).
And your presence explains to me very directly why it is that NPR has deteriorated so badly and has been catering the last year so hard to the lil’ matty silverman’s of the world. The music shows suck, the music reviews sucks, what passes for ‘news exposes’ is the sweaty dandruff of dung beetles now.
I’m sure your employers will be proud to know that they can directly reference for themselves the comments you have made here about your….um…’accomplishments’ while accepting their fees, and they will be quite proud of you when I point it out to them.
NPR has gotten weaker and weaker and weaker in a very competitive market. You are not helping Champ.
Just scrolled on thru your boring, uninteresting post.
Stop making up your own goddamn definitions for words:
casual
3
a (1) : feeling or showing little concern : nonchalant (2) : lacking a high degree of interest or devotion (3) : done without serious intent or commitment
You guys still haven’t explained why it’s somehow morally wrong to hold “art”, or even people, up to certain standards.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, Huh? Wha?
Haha, I’m sorry I missed the video…the guy who tossed his shit deserves a medal
I’ve come to the conclusion that “Molly” and “Hans” are, in reality, little Mattie Silver.
Ahaha nope not Matthew Silver..
He did stoop so low as to deal you guys I on the other hand like a good debate
my name is Molly nice try though.
didn’t .. let the grammar Nazis attack
Real artists never have to keep reminding everyone around them that they are “Quite Successful Artists”. NEVER. Also, I’m pretty sure that many of DH’s supporters are creative people, considering the wide mix of different types here who fucking hate spoiled, pretentious try-hards devaluing everything they touch.
They are definitely both the same person.
AND NOW…THE MOMENT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR:
I wanted Molly/Hans to type out close to 100 comments before letting everyone know that THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON WITH THE SAME IP ADDRESS. The email address they are using is the same address that MATTHEW SILVER used to email me about 2 years ago to cry when I posted one of his Bedford avenue videos. So – ladies and gentlemen, Matthew Silver has been on here all morning typing like a schizo lunatic trying to defend his talentless ass. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
B U S T E D
Actually we’re both at work at Theatermania nice try though
You’re on the clock? Stay productive!
I’m that good.
Get me my coffee!!!!!
*LOL* I was going to say something like that, but I’m kind of slacking right now to read this shit, too. I don’t get paid hourly, though.
and neither of us are Matthew Silver so you look like a fool. womp womp
and I’m using my personal email address so that’s a bold face lie.. good try! Hans is also a real person too.. believe it or not that’s his real name.
hahahaha…
Oh… oh….
Oh my god. I suspected that but…
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA! What a talentless douche!
Lol. Now I bet he’s going the spend the entire afternoon using his sock puppets to say I’m lying.
or you could respond to my personal tweet asking you to play the name game.
ohh.. but you have nothing to say.
You’re just jealous of cool, creative young people. You attack hipsters out of spite because you wish you could be one.
Bwahahah….I called it….who da man?
High five my good man.
oh of course it’s him. i figured that when i first started reading all of the comments on this. i think everyone knows even without ip address proof. Mr. Silver is a NAZI that wants to shut down the cherished right of free peoples to anonymous commentary , ensconced in our Constitution and court decisions,. FUCK YOU NAZI.
haha you guys are retarded. My name is Molly Lisenco.
Stalk me .. go ahead.
NO one cares what your “real name” is. Not here.
really when they think I’m matthew silver they do.
You know what’s really disturbing? If you’re actually Matthew Silver.
When MOLLY L is your “main” username. HMMMMMMM.
Black Mamba read lower.. i told you my name
that’s funny. I am not in any way shape or form Matthew Silver. Your lies amuse me. Continue to hide behind your computer and lie to your drones. I originally jumped on this site to see how fucked up you all really are. This is the icing on the cake.
ONE OF US.
ONE OF US.
ONE OF US.
ROFLMAO. Okay, Matthew. You know, it might actually earn you a cool point or two if you’d admit that’s you. But you’d feel stupid doing that, wouldn’t you?
You just did more real journalism than the nitwit that came bleeting on behalf of Mr.Show’s Underwear ever did, if he actually ever did, for NPR.
I was waiting for it. We all were. Thank you for delivering it! You rock the `b-u-s-t-e-d` quite well and more than deserve a cold one or two!
lol @ making multiple accounts as other people to defend himself – I guess kidulthood makes you do crazy things.
Where are his fans? Looking at his facebook, and all of the “haters are gonna hate” comments from his “fans”, you’d think they’d showing up in wave after wave, riding hard for dude.
I could tell they were the same person from the way they write, but this is even better!!!!! Yes!!!! This is such a good day.
I would love to meet you diehipster.. in person..
you’re all talk and no game.
I am not Matt Silver.. neither is Hans.. we do have the IP address because we work together and are both appalled by the level of stupidity you give out. Do more research look where that IP address leads.. and it’s definitely not the same as which ever one Matt Silver apparently sent you stuff from, cause he doesn’t work here.
You aren’t “working” if you have all morning to sit here and make comments.
I finished my work hours ago.. i’m that good.
No, you are a lazy bum.
Really.. I’m pretty sure you seriously don’t know me at all.
I’m that efficient that I have the time to banter with you fools who lack common sense.
Why don’t you actually go out and kill hipsters in real life, if you hate them so much? Otherwise that makes you a hypocrite.
I think Molly L is Matt Silvers publicist. Now they “work” together. She was gonna bring his zany, look at me “art” to the people. Fail!
Now she is trying to do damage control. Molls is unraveling because she tied her all her hopes to a no talent jerk off. I guess you’ll be looking for another funtastic non paying job soon. Don’t worry mom and dad will still pay the rent.
Peace and Love my darling cankle.
Oh, so your pimp considers you his “bottom bitch” huh? Are you home early because you met your “happy ending” quotas?
You’re that good at doing nothing and getting paid for it? You know what people usually call guys like you? Oh that’s right. Seat warmers. People who get paid for doing fucking nothing. I bet daddy owns the company doesn’t he? Otherwise he’d have fired your ass ages ago.
doing nothing. I did all of my work by 10 am
shocking I am productive and can hold up a debated without resorting to mindless name calling
*debate
There is a “debate” going on here? Oh, and this is also a journalism site, per your NPR intern buddy. LOL! The jokes keep on coming.
No there is a lack of “debate” since this is completely one sided, your side can only retort to name calling
You should be grateful to hipsters! Before they came along, your city was a crime-ridden ghetto.
Let me guess…you honestly believe that a single comment you’ve posted here on this journalistic site counts as “debate.” I can only imagine how many Participation Trophies and Ribbons you won in school for that debate “style.” “He’s like, preaching like, love and stuff in his panties on the street! Like yah! His toys are like, a symbol of like, unfettered expression and like, creativity! You’re all so like, negative and stuff cuz you don’t understand!”
That pompous award winning NPR intern can’t tell the difference between a mentally ill person who smoked some PCP and is causing a disturbance, and a REAL artist. Yeah the jokes just write themselves!
The EMTs will be picking him up when he collapses on the sidewalk on top of trash bags and taking him to Bellevue psych ward in 3…2…1….Your parents are real proud Matty.
You parentally funded urban playcationers better start paying taxes here too. Taxes fund the EMS services you idiots need when you push your stupid shit too far and get a beatdown for it.
That means you have way too little to do. LAYOFF ALERT!!!
Darning your boyfriend’s underwear and brushing your teeth do not count as ‘work’ Matty.
That’s the third time you’ve said that. Must be true.
Like I said. All afternoon trying to say lying. LOL Matthew.
die hipster show yourself. I’m waiting
I’ve shown myself.
No you haven’t. Pics or GTFO.
Your move, shithead.
I’ve given you my full name. I am the only one with that name.
Go find me.
STFU Canklestein.
How pretentious can you get? There are 7 BILLION people on this goddamned planet. Like hell there aren’t other Molly L(whatever)s in America alone, figures in the rest of the world. Then again this is just you trying to make yourself sound relevant and, in your own fucked up mind, stalker-worthy.
Please. When you change your name into Usain Bolt, try again.
No there really arent.
Go ahead and look it up, I’ll wait.
I know because I have
Of course you would.
/sitcom laughter
GO AWAY! YOU STINK!
BINGO.
To Hans, Molly and “Nathan Maxwell Cann”, FUCK Matthew Silvers and fuck all three of you in your asses* and mouths with an AIDS dick.
Until today, I really didn’t have that strong of an opinion on Matthew Silvers. I’m usually a “live and let live” guy by nature, and even if I don’t like a person, I can still have some level or respect for that person.
Matthew Silvers showed himself to be a complete and utter pussy — just like his hipster fans. The fact that he took the video down (obviously out of butthurt) shows him for the selective attention whoring assrag that he is. He can’t even do the attention whoring thing right. He loves controversy and shock value until the backlash makes him uncomfortable. That’s not an artist, that’s a bitch (or a hipster). Just imagine if the people who laid the foundations of punk rock or hip-hop, tucked tail and ran like little bitches at the first sign of REAL controversy. If Matt was real, he would’ve said “Fuck it” and kept it moving.
GG Allin was a REAL performance artist. His music at its absolute worst, was still 1,000,000,000 times better than anything put out by hiptards. I HATED GG Allin as a person when he was alive. However, he was the REAL THING. He was 1,000,000,000 times more of an artist than Matthew Silver and every hiptard “Performance Artist” currently wasting oxygen will ever be.
* You too Molly. Your ass smells better than that STD petri-dish stinkbox pussy of yours. Hit up a clinic.
Hahahahahaha I would hope my ass smells better than that.
I’m clean you on the other hand are you as dirty as your mouth, you should get that check out
Nothing about me is as dirty as that abscess oozing snatch of yours sweetie. Nothing.
I love that you think I’m STD ridden.. whats on your brain.
got something you want to share… er have already shared with the world.
hahahah already shared
These are brave, romantic young underdogs rebelling against The Man in an eccentric way. How come you don’t like them?
You copy and paste from this blog in an eccentric way.
You’re a dumb hipster cunt with a liberal arts degree who has to sell her ass to make ends meet. The truth is, some dudes will pay to fuck ANYTHING. That’s where you come in. Now take your ass to the clinic and get something done about that FUNK. Stop wiping back to front.
Haha I love that you think you know ANYTHING about me.. other than having a degree (which you’re off a bit) you completely wrong.
Sounds like however you have quite the experience with VD.. did you medication not come in?
I could really give a shit whether I know anything about you or not (the same way you feel about your detractors on DH, so we’re even). I don’t know why you’re complaining. You’re dealing with a man (for once) who will actually tell you to shut up and you love it. Masochistic bitch.
Speaking of VD, The term “herpster” didn’t simply appear out of thin air. You hiptards often have horrible hygiene (The bedbugs know this and I can usually smell you before I see you) and no common sense.
Seriously, what were you expecting on this site? Have you ever heard of the expression “Look before you leap?”
I looked, I laughed, and then I jumped in..
I’m glad the extent of anything you have to say to me is either calling me a hipster.. which I guess thanks? I don’t normally classify myself as that, but I dont really care either way or talking about sexual exploits and that I have STDS.. for your info, I really don’t but I appreciate that you care so much.
Matthew? Still here? Don’t you have to go find some locally sourced props in Bushwick dumpsters for your next worldwide, I mean countrywide, I mean citywide, I mean Lorimer St L Train station tour?
Actually I’m pretty sure he’s performing somewhere right now but you guys would know better since you’ve been creeping on his fb all day. but alas your game doesn’t work because Penelope found my facebook. wahh wahhh wahhh
Dude, I’m gonna be straight with you. No disses, no shit talking. Just some real talk.
Mr Silver, you’ve been exposed by DH. You probably can’t see the post since there are so many. Same IP as Hans & the one used by Matty a while back on DH.
The fact that you don’t have a small army riding for you on this site, speaks volumes about them. You’ve only had three actual people (that I can recall) post in your defense — Nathan Maxwell Cann, that pretentious assrag that claims he worked for NPR and some other poster. It would appear that your so-called fans really aren’t fans. They pay you lip service because it’s “cool” at the moment. That’s hipsters for you!
My biggest gripe with you was not your “Village Idiot” schtick. I even gave you the benefit of the doubt that you actually weren’t a hipster (or a fauxhemian of some other sort), but an actual village idiot. I figured, “hey, even village idiots have their place”. In hindsight, that may have been the weed cookies influencing my thoughts (making me more “live and let live” than usual), but I digress.
My biggest gripe with you was you NOT STICKING TO YOUR GUNS. When you took your vid down, it made you look like a bitch. Some dudes tosses your props around. You’re obviously bothered by this. I would expect shock value types like yourself to roll with the punches. I figured you would’ve been used to this sort of thing. Shit happens. You should’ve kept that vid up just on gp.
The best thing you can do is put up a vid and tell your hipster fans, that “tucking tail” is not the way to go. You can do your fans a favor. Many of them have never had any male leadership in their lives (no, that cuckold they called “dad” doesn’t count). You can make a difference. Most male hipsters have no concept of manhood.
Are you trying to break the world record for internet butthurt by responding to every.single.comment on this blog? This should be entertaining. Your Participation Trophy, a nice tall glass of Sunny D, and a platter of Rice Krispy treats await you after your arduous journey.
Well duh obviously why else would I be wasting my time. I would like that are a tangible award. A trophy would suffice.
Hi Matthew. Do you smell as bad as you look?
as for you, who if we’re gonna talk about pussys and stds.. show yourself.
I’m waiting … still waiting for the name game..
but you can’t admit to your readers that I am a real person.
Go ahead check your @tweets from 2 hours ago..
Having a blog and a Twitter account, or liking anything countercultural, makes you a hipster too.
Having sex with a woman, or liking vaginal intercourse, makes you a rapist too.
Yeah, great logic buddy.
Oh god, you make this way too easy. Was that supposed to be a comeback?
Now THAT’S cute.
Never said it was a come just asking for my trophy.. you offered.
*comeback
I may be 90% the same as the people you describe, but I’m not a hipster and you insulted me by making fun of me.
No I didn’t you shithead. Can you even recognize an insult when thrown at you?
I can, I was playing with your words. But clearly you’re not able to do so.
Jesus christ, always want the last word eh? You must be a fun person to hang out with.
oh totes the life the party oh my god..
you’re one to talk black mamba..
just mad I’m giving you a run for your money?
A-freakin-men.
Matthew Silver, OWN your shitty, two-bit act.
Oh, yeah GREYZONE13, you’re included in that list of people who can get fucked with an AIDS dick. Posting longwinded pompous bullshit doesn’t make you look intelligent, nor does it lend you credibility — especially if one can easily see right through it. Your list of credentials are neither impressive nor believable. Everything about you screams “Full of it”. How do I know? It’s a skill that “city folk” and those who’ve been “laced with some game” have.
Posting longwinded stupidity hatred, and ignorance doesn’t make YOU look intelligent, nor does it lend you credibility — especially if one can easily see right through it.
You’re overdoing it. No one really hates hipsters that much. Why can’t you just laugh at them and take it all as a joke?
Like yah!
Shut up pussy. Your girlfriend is cheating on you with the Ching-a-Ling Nomads.
you’re incredibly racist
Explain. I could say the same about you and be far more accurate. Hipsters are some of the worst closet racists.
Wow…what’s truly bizarre is this screed of yours. Had to be called in for this, huh? What does that pretentious, veiled statement mean? In addition, your attempt here to defend this person’s “artwork” has failed, because you can’t seem to write with any clarity whatsoever. Bottom line: people are getting sick of this worthless dreck. And sick of its supporters and apologists who likewise consider themselves artists. “Mature journalists that understand the art world?” Good God, I hope there are no more like you. Oh, and by the way, what you just “wrote” is not an “article.” That’s the word usually reserved for something appearing in a publication that’s been thought-out, reasoned, somewhat well written and edited. This is a blog, dude. I’m not sure you even understand what “Journalism” means here. And the 9/11 Generation reference? The whole country mourned and wept through that, if you don’t know. Did you have young children at home and/or in school when that happened? A wife working in D.C. like I did that day? You’re not that special, kid. And your argument and writing just sucks ass.

The “artwork” of Mr. Silver has FAILED – and the inability of these hipsters to recognize FAILURE is ultimately at the top of the list here in what makes these idiots so annoying… “everything is art” is a FAILED philosophy that was keen for about 15 minutes back in the 70s stone age of performance art.
Nice mention of the “70s stone age of performance art” – I suffered through that shit as a kid, drug to those types of things by my parents (who were not hippies, just naïve). Crazed “performers” in black leotards. Yelling and throwing toilet paper around. I carry the scars to this day. It may have been innovative at the time – but no wonder punk arose so quickly and viciously. Anyway, I agree. By trying so hard, SO HARD, to make art no matter what the venue, the means, the media, it’s pathetic, and yes, ANNOYING. No hard work, no mastering of anything, no talent. It’s the death rattle of culture…..broadcast by amateurs.
Mr Silver has no concept of art history. It’s obvious. ALSO – what you say here: “ANNOYING. No hard work, no mastering of anything, no talent. It’s the death rattle of culture…..broadcast by amateurs.” – It’s a slow dive right back into the dark ages. And yes Mr. Silver is leading the charge!
^^^ This.
You know what I’d like to see? Mr. Silver and his act dropped in the middle of that Jersey Shore show on tv – it would be worth buying tickets to watch the guidos tear this guy limb from limb.. hell even Snooki could tear this guy limb from limb. What a pussy.
I don’t watch Jersey Shore… but that would make the guidos actually productive.
That would be a fun episode, if there ever was one.
Wait, since when I was able to delete or freeze comments? I just started commenting today! Also the website isn’t mine Hans. So… no brainer?
I was there and I personally witnessed this and I just want that asshole new yorker who ruined Matt’s performance that he should consider himself LUCKY i had a hot cup of latte in one hand and had my yorkshire teacup terrior in the other…or else I would have gotten very very mad!
LOL!
Tell me you’re parodying the hipsters and not that you’re another yuppie.
Sarcasm isn’t that easily recognizable on the internet.
Sarcasm is tough to recognize with these cockrags because they are all such predictable walking cliches.
LOL!
Oh no! The hipster of all hipsters has arrived! RUN!
Hey Hans! You were asking what a hipster or fauxhemian was — well look no further than Sustainable Steven! Sustainable Steven = Hipster nobility !
because he has an opinion different than yours?
Matthew. LURK MOAR! Sustainable Steven is a performance artist of a different sort!
I was waiting for the true voice of hipster rage to chime in. Sustainable Steve for mayor. There, I said it.
Hans do you play on the Thursday Noontime Kickball league at Irving Park? You are on the Williamsburg Curators if I am not mistaken? I play 3rd base for the Bushwick Organics… If you are the same person I think you are I think we take tightrope walking lessons from the same instructor…I’ve been meaning to read your blog but I’ve been so busy between playing kickball, tighrope practice, and walking my yorkshire tea cup terrier (Tillman) and my Parrot (Barrett) around on attention walks, I really haven’t had time. I was wondering if we could Meet for a cup of Latte?
One of the more civil people here, JAZ, referred me to a good place “The Shoppe” and I believe he said it is strictly open from 3AM-6AM. He was gentleman enough to inform me of a shortcut I have yet to take, using Saratoga & Livonia as a shortcut to save ourselves time. I believe he said there were artisinal, fairtrade items but did not say anything specifally about organic or sustainable products. Please get back to me. I think we would get along great. Send me an email at Dandylad@msn.net
You play 3rd base for the organics? I saw you! Totes awesome! I would love to join you and Hans for the game at Irving park, but I don’t think my GF will let me.
Shucks!!!!!!
Yay! I knew Sustainable Steve would be in this thread eventually!
You don’t understand art / music / cuisine / fashion / writing / coffee / farming. You’re all uneducated knuckle-draggers.
So true. A bunch of brutes they are!
Hopefully some real Brooklynite will drag his knuckles across your face one day!
Maybe Matthew/Molly can explain to us rubes what his “art” is trying to express. For the life of me I cannot figure it out. Is it a riff on mental illness and the homeless in the city? C’mon – someone in the art world has to have a high-falutin’ explanation that we’re all missing. “A post-modern descent into the nascent feelings that we all hold deep within our souls” yadda-yadda. At least try to come up with something other than he’s an attention-seeking, no talent jagoff.
Hans says my “Violence amuses him”. Hipsters always say some stupid shit like that. Why is it they’re NEVER amused in real life when their GIRLFRIENDS have to put themselves between myself their pussified hipster boyfriends? Why is it all I have to do is raise my voice, and the likes of Hans or “Nathan Maxwell Cann” damn near lose control of their bladders?
Because they can hide behind internet anonymity and try to be an internet tough guy and never call it quits like Molly L up there (nice “play of words” there honey, did you notice how stupid you sounded when you said you WANTED a participation trophy? Friggin’ retard fell for her own trap) and try try again until they’re “bored”.
Then real life shows up and beats the crap out of them like how Rocky would beat them to a pulp just by accidentally looking at their direction for one second. Time for some diving lessons!
I didn’t sound stupid, I would love a participation trophy, I’m making you look stupid and that’s cool. (please tell me the play on words.. elaborate.. )
Real life ain’t kicking the crap out of me..sorry honey
You’re just jealous that he’s bringing happiness and joy to NYC.
Don’t be jealous, Molly, that Diehipster is a more successful and popular artist than you. Look how popular he is… and this is all without showing himself to the public! That is the sign of a true artist. Let art live!!!
We didn’t say you sound stupid, We said you WERE stupid. Several times. Now go home…
Alas stupidity is something that is quite prevalent here in this thread.. not coming from me though
Keep telling that to yourself and maybe it will come true one day.
Please join me thursday nights at Irving Park for our kickball league and you will get a free participation trophy. We rotate each week on whos daddys credit card to use for all the trophies, and I must warn you: if it is your first game, your daddy has to buy the participation trophies. FYI. youve been warned…I’d love to see you and hans there! We could play some freezetag when were done. Let me know
Sustainable Steven – Dandylonglegs@msn.com
i’m sure that would happen.
I leave for a few hours and over 300 comments? Ha ha ha. The troll patrol must be strong today! Especially after that douchenozzle posted for “help” on his FB page. “oh this mean DH guy is bullying me! Helpppp what should I doooooooo????” I would love to read all the comments but I have a JOB to go to. I’m sure I could just read the abridged version in the FAQ. It’s probably the same shit anyway : )
The video is still available on his FB page. He starts by ranting about “we’re too serious…stop being serious” At about 1:40 into the video Our Hero comes in and casually starts wrecking his shit as Matthew is dancing and warbling something stupid.
I’ll give Matthew credit, at about 2:55 when Our Hero tries to boot his shopping cart, Matthew is putting on his shorts and makes a great one-handed save! This guy should focus on soccer instead.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Matthew-Silver-the-Great-Performer/276288122399733
I just saw it. I like how the guy kicks the stuff around. Not violently or angrily but as if he’s clearing away trash.
Aye. Without even trying, he proved to be 10 million times more the ‘artist’ than little matty boy could ever dream of being. He also had 10 million times the courage that lil’ matty buttfloss could ever dream of having. The man in black was willing to be boo’d at in order to protect those he saw as vunerable and impressionable. Someone should buy him dinner and a round or two of beers.
What a stark and heartbreaking comparison between two males: One of them a man, not afraid to behave like a grown man; harkening back to a time when men were not afraid to BE leaders, to risk being unpopular, and be responsible for the welfare of others and the other, a gimping embarassment of a potentially unfortunate future and present day pseudo-liberal try hard beta males.
Let me try a slightly different tack.
Molly, I would like to offer you an open invitation. I will be perfectly non-confrontational and polite here.
I would like you to explain, in your words, why your friend Matthew chose to grow that particular type of beard.
We won’t be hostile, just straightforward. If you can give a good and interesting explanation of why he has that beard, one that doesn’t translate as “because he’s a hipster”, we will acknowledge it.
You too, Nathan Maxwell Cann, if you’re still here. What caused you to decide to grow that beard, if it wasn’t because you wanted to look like a hipster? Would you choose to shave it off if we were to tell you that’s how it makes you look?
I have nothing to do with his facial hair, go ask him yourself.
I don’t know him and I don’t want to waste time spamming his YouTube channel with comments like that. I expect you have a better idea than me.
I’m just interested in why he chooses to look as he does. For all I know, there’s a good reason.
Another example: I notice his complexion is extremely pale. Is there a reason for that? A medical reason, for example? I mean, I’m seriously pasty myself, but that’s because I live in Wales and you wouldn’t believe the “summer” we’re having here. I understand that New York, on the other hand, has had a fair few heatwaves this year, and Matthew often performs outdoors without much clothing on. So it’s interesting to me that he wouldn’t have more of a tan.
None of this is meant aggressively. You told us that we were judging Matthew, jumping to conclusions about his nature when we don’t know what he’s really like. Here’s your chance to set that straight.
thanks for the kind words though Jack.
I genuinely do appreciate the politeness
You’re just jealous that he’s bringing happiness and joy to New York City.
Well fuck. This video sounds hilarious.

mr silver is not a hipster?
Mr Silver practically gives away his hipster identity by the very act of starring in an “art show” advertised using Pabst Blue Ribbon. How can this guy claim to not know what “hipster” is or that he’s a hipster?
Matthew honey, don’t give up! We always knew you were special, and now you’re famous! Your bed is still down in the basement for when you get back from your Gritty Urban Adventure. And we got a trophy for you! Good luck!
xx Mom & Dad
P.S. We’re forwarding the video to Grandma. She’s back on her heart meds.
ahahahahahahahahahahhaha! Dying here!
Can someone freezeframe Our Hero kicking the crap out of Matthew’s “installation” and put it on a t-shirt? Of course Matthew would get some royalties to buy a new shopping cart and cardboard sign.
great idea. which frame of the vid would you most like to see on the design? tell me the minutes in …
there are so many good ones. the look on Matthew’s face as his circle jerk is first invaded by the NYC ruffian. Also the part where he kicks his granny shopping cart as Matthew struggles to put his crusty shorts on is hilarious.
2:27 is hilarious. Someone should make a gif loop.
While you’re at it, do one from ‘The Hipster Who Got Flipstered”.
And I’d be more than happy to share a joint with Our Hero in this video. Mr. Silver is a rude little man. Cheers to Our Hero!! Bongs away!! WOO HOO!!!
In case you missed it, here’ the video:
Found the vid from a couple different angles:

0:28 Geez, bottom biscuits and ham: I just lost my appetite.
You can still watch the Oscar-deserving video on his blog: http://www.maninwhitedress.com/?p=2416
You know you must really be striking a hipster nerve when the butthurt kazooing is this strong.
Ah, yes. Mocking people with mental disabilities. A favorite pastime of these “empathetic” and “loving” Meghans and Zanders. I’m sure the parent of a child with cerebral palsy looks at these kind of performances and thinks to themselves, “My, what a sensitive portrayal of human behavior. These people are not privileged at all, they are talented!”
Adolescents often behave much like members of an old-fashioned aristocracy. They maintain private rituals, which they often do not really understand themselves. They are extremely conservative in their dress and tastes, but the conventions to which they adhere are purely those of their own social group; they try to ignore the norms of the larger society if these conflict with their own. They can be extravagantly generous and extravagantly cruel, but rarely petty or conniving. Their virtues are courage and loyalty; while even the necessity for even a moderate degree of compromise humiliates them greatly. They tend to be pugnacious and quarrelsome about what they believe to be their rights, but naive and reckless in defending them. They are shy, but not modest. If they become very anxious they are likely to behave eccentrically, to withdraw, or to attack with some brutality; they are less likely to blend themselves innocuously into the environment with an apologetic smile. They are honest on occasions when even a stupid adult would have better sense.

Almost 500 comments? LMAO! It just goes to show the lengths these little bitches will go to to “enlighten” us with their bullshit. ” I’m gonna voice my opinion over and over again until the GET it. Yeah that’ll teach them. They’ll see how special I am” Onward keyboard warriors!!! God this shit never gets old. My sons girlfriends would have you all blubbering in 2.3 seconds after meeting you and they’re 15! Thanks for the laugh. Back to work for me
Yes, you have to laugh at the white knights coming to the aid of baby Matthew (although apparently at least two of them are baby Matthew himself).

I’m not sure who’s worse, a cockbreath like Silver or the effete pansies who enable him by
taking him and his ilk seriously as “artists”.
LOL ok look DUDES I don’t like “hipsters” either and i can SEE why Matthew Silver’s antics would get on your nerves. Point 1 – It’s all shock value. Maybe you guys weren’t so obsessed with the “working class” 9 – 5-er on his oh so devastating way to work, who just wants to sit in the silent peace and misery of his painful and difficult life, dreading the day ahead, you’d SEE that if you were somewhat drunk or stoned, OPENMINDED, or having an interesting day you’d laugh at how rediculous what he’s doing is. Look i personally don’t think what he’s doing is “brilliant” but the absurdity and courage (albeit ill-minded) to do these things in public is fucking funny. Whats up with you guys and the boring 9 to 5 person anyway? NOBODY actually finds people like that interesting. they work all their life in jobs they hate only to go home and have shitty children. You might find what i just said fucked up and a generalization but that’s exactly what you’re doing! Yes i agree hipsters are socially useless and over priveldged but 9 to 5-ers are boring and useless in far more profound ways. “Oh i cant imagine him doing this on the 4 train in the bronx! hah those tough REAL NEW YORKERS wouldn’t stand for that” oh yea they’re pretty cool, but by the way when i lived in the bronx i witnessed poor people with way too many kids CURSING and BEATING them on the train regularly. Sure they might be more “down to earth” than hipsters but i’ve yet to see a lame white person do that? So my point is, EVERYBODY SUCKS with the exception of some cool peeps. There’s cool new yorker’s, there’s cool musicians, artists, bodega owners, food truck people, cops, and some are douchebags. END OF STORY
You’re right. You’ve completely convinced me that Matthew Silver is a Man of Courage.
Can’t you all picture Mr. Silver in his underwear storming the beaches at Normandy or the cockpit of Flight 93?
“Let’s Roll.”
It does take a certain level of courage to do that in public (ie. go all the way) that is undeniable (I did try to add that it wasn’t exactly “noble). But thanks for not adressing any of my points, and looking for a buzzword to amuse yourself. I honestly hope most of you are trolling, and if you are i admire that(i am an adamant supporter of “lookatthisfuckinghipster). But to those who take it so seriously and call people “wastes of air” and ponder with joy the death of people, its just rediculous. Take a hit of weed, idk try to THINK. You guys are like anti hipster Bill O’ Reillys
That’s not courage. Nerve, gall, chutzpah, balls, maybe. But not courage.
Put down the bong and pick up a dictionary, fool.
I can’t stand Bill O’Reilly and can’t remember the last time I wasted time on that douche. He’ was a goner a long time ago. You might not be, and so here I am bothering. And there you’ll be, never appreciating it like I imagine you don’t appreciate the sweat, the fear, the anxieties, and the blood of your own ancestors who struggled so you could get to wherever the hell you are now. How are you expressing your gratitutde to them? Still riding a skateboard at the age of 40? 30? Still battling it out against your bong?
Stomping around in public and swearing, willfully, takes NO courage whatsoever. Little toddlers do it all the time. So are you saying all it takes to be a man is to admit that you don’t have the courage of a toddler?
I’d also normally not moralize, but maybe that weed isn’t doing YOU as much good as you tell yourself it is and maybe you sound a lot dumber to people, and more immature, than you realize.
now now…. lest we forget that Our Hero enjoys cannabis as well as many respectable members of Die Hipster.
Don’t chide me Barone, I’m not a child and I wasn’t talking to any one here but Gould. Thanks.
Sigh, alrightythen…
No, it’s not the end of the story. It’s the end of the story when you grow the fuck up and realize part of being an adult means BEING AN ADULT. You see that as an abandonment of dreams you absurd little child. It’s nothing of the kind. But you’re not there yet, you’re still too busy resenting your mommy and daddy.
Hopefully, you won’t be stuck in that mode past the age of 25. If you are, you might wind up like little matthew, wandering the streets in your underoos and begging strangers for more and more attention.
Silver can act a fool all he wants to, in my opinion. Just do it out of the way. But if he’s jumping around with props, shouting, scaring babies, and OBSTRUCTING people from walking down the sidewalk, then something like this was bound to happen and was long overdue. He’s lucky someone hasn’t broken his face, and that’s the hard truth.
“Point 1 – It’s all shock value. ”
Well Albert that’s where you’re wrong. There’s nothing “shocking” at all about Mr. Silver’s street antics. It’s boring as fuck and annoying as hell and that’s all.
“Shock Value”???? You gotta be fucking kidding me. That just shows me that these interloping wannabe-urban shitrags have ZERO life experience and knowledge of the history of art in NYC and are only pretending. FRAUDS, FAKES, embarrassingly poor imitations of art and music. Generation Halfass – that’s all they are.
I was into shock value as a budding young artist. And then I turned 14.
Albert, darling: Have you ever considered that maybe the reason we’re “boring 9 to 5″ people is because have to do things like pay rents/mortgages and bills and put food on the table? In other words, we have to work for our money because we don’t have rich mommies and daddies in our hometowns to take care of us while we display childish, attention-seeking behavior in the name of “art.”
And it’s not as though we dull, unsophisticated, workaday Joe Schmoes don’t exist outside our jobs. Some of us have done some pretty cool things in our lives, and some of us have hobbies. The point is that we don’t make a point of showing it all off so that other people will think we’re so cool and cutting-edge, all the while looking down on those we deem “non-creatives.”
I actually heard one of these shitheels refer to working-class people going by as “muggles”. I have to admit that I’ve been waiting for that for a while. Having watched generations of Cat Piss Men refer to themselves as “slans” and to everyone with real jobs and lives as “mundanes”, it didn’t surprise me that the overweening arrogance of science fiction fandom would transfer so well to hipster society.
Matthew admitted the dude just wanted him to put on his shorts because there were kids around. Not that outrageous a suggestion in a public park.

Coffee Shop Bans ‘Talking about Annoying Hipster Topics’
http://gawker.com/5935336/coffee-shop-bans-talking-about-annoying-hipster-topics-irony-reflects-back-on-itself-on-and-on-to-infinity
From the article:
In case anyone is looking to drink coffee in an alleyway this weekend, here’s a handy list of hipster topics and not hipster topics:
BANNED topics:
Music (especially bebop)
Bicycles/unicycles
Stripes
Glasses
Denim
Money (having none of it or having a lot of it)
Solange
Who you fucked last night
Nightshade
Left-handedness/ambidexterity
Jon
The written word
Beards (appreciation of)
Anything that happened before 2000
Rage on, douches. Unless it’s after your bedtime.
The important part is noting the coffee shop expecting patrons to clean up after themselves and to stay out of the street. The first is self-evident, as most of these dickweeds assume that the rest of the world exists to clean up after them. (Take a look at the messes left at the cafe at Barnes & Noble for a good example.) The second is something that drove me insane when I lived in Portland, where people just strolled out into the street, jaywalking and going against crosswalk lights, with this expression that said “How DARE you delay me?” I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if the coffee shop was preparing for the inevitable parental lawsuit when Ethan or Hummus pranced out into the street without looking both ways (something I KNOW was taught in suburbia, because I had it drilled into my own head before I turned five) and was turned into a blood aerosol by a garbage truck that couldn’t stop in time.
http://normalbobsmith.com/amazingstrangers/142.html
Even this guy doesn’t like him. Which makes sense considering that he is a REAL ARTIST.
I said it before, so I’ll say it again; Union Square has become such a toilet.
Definitely has, since the late 90s.
It’s turned into the new Times Square. It’s just overkill. What was nice about the area was that it was downtown and smaller. And now it’s really no different than midtown. I remember when it was nothing but junkies in the 70′s in Union Square Park. We used to hang out at Max’s Kansas City. What a time it was. What a time we had. It seemed like a smaller place back then. I took a bunch of photos around 14th Street before they ripped down S.Klein on the Square back in the early 80s. Looking back at the pictures you see literally only a couple of people walking by. The streets on a hot Sunday afternoon were empty. Glad I was there. But it’s long over. Now it’s a faceless zoo of masses without the true character of the city. The park is a collection zone for drifters, mentally ill, and sorts like Silver. So screw the hipsters. They are just getting a fake NYC/NYC experience and they are paying 100 times more for it. It’s perfect.
that video with ‘Dusty’ is great! look at how stunned and afraid Mr Silver is by a Genuinely erratic and energetic outburst. Hey Matt, that guy just outperformed you tenfold, and he did it without a trolley full of zany random props or the expectation of a reward and applause at the end, OR proclaiming himself an artist or performer. Luckily for you the police swiftly intervened to remove him so you could begin to recompose yourself before returning to your watered-down, forced ‘wackiness’ for bemused passers by and wandering tourists.
In the words of the guy at the end:
‘NOT FEELING SO CRAZY NOW HUH? HOW DO YOU TOP THAT!’
looks like you were asking yourself the same question at that precise moment…. but i’m sure within moments you’d shaken off your shock encounter with Scary Black Man and returned to the important work of asking such pertinent questions as ‘are my farts my children’, and wearing giant plush penguin helmets whilst calling yourself The Birdbrain.
That video was on point. Talk about being exposed. Fuckin’ beautiful.
Since the video above was deleted or not public anymore, Here’s the Link to the video that shows the REAL NYer kicking around this “artist’s” crap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sE7WA07qZg
Today has been Category 5 Butthurt. Maybe they’ll call FEMA.
Carrot Top + Idiot Parents + Lead Paint = Matthew Silver
Leave Carrot Top out of this. A true artist who has used steroids to advance his craft. To all the posters, in the future, let’s all get some screenshots of this asswipe crap before it goes private and forward them to diehipster.com.
First off the word retard, is not very pc you small minded, arrogant, turd. Keep your negative attitude to yourself because people like you either never learned to smile or forgot how to. Have fun being miserable, while you y to kill your depression with paxil or zoloft
Paxil? Zoloft? Fuck that. The pleasure that comes from Kicking your teeth in would do a much better job. Take your butthurt elsewhere.
Saw this video on his site… BRAVO!
Not only did this guy kick over this douche’s stuff…but he did it in style! Plus he had the Jordan cement 4s on!
Matthew Silver= The poor man’s Tom Green
Hi there, simply changed into aware of your blog thru Google, and found that it is truly informative. I’m gonna watch out for brussels. I’ll appreciate when you continue this in future. Lots of folks might be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!

BUT MATTHEW ENDS UP LOOKING LIKE A GENTRIFICATION ERA TRY HARD PIECE OF SHIT WITH WHOLE FOODS, DSW & FOREVER 21 IN THE BACKGROUND OF HIS VIDEO
SADLY WE ALL KNOW NYC HAS TURNED INTO ONE HUGE PILE OF PUSSIFIED PUSSIFICATION
IF MATTHEW REALLY WANTS TO BE GRITTY, EDGY AND URBAN THEN I SUGGEST HE TAKES HIS TALENTS DOWN TO THE STREETS OF NUEVO LAREDO MEXICO
MATTHEW GO UPLOAD A VIDEO OF YOURSELF PERFORMING ON THE STREETS OF NUEVO LAREDO AND DONT FORGET TO TAKE A VIDEO CAMERA WITH YOU SO WE CAN ALL WATCH WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU TRY TO BLESS THE NUEVO LAREDO NATIVES WITH YOUR TALENTLESS PIECE OF SHIT ART
FUCK YOU MATTHEW
YOU ARE A TALENTLESS TRY HARD PIECE OF SHIT
I would literally drive to Nuevo Laredo just to watch the locals go “Apocalypto” like an Aztec priest on his ass. Dia de los muertos indeed!

Nice! I love the second one.. I’d rock that.
Everything is in those nice scalable vectors so the t-shirts and mugs are going to print up really nice.
It almost looks like he about to land a roundhouse kick on wierd beard!
Oops.. *he’s.. had to get that before some ‘journalist’ criticizes my spelling! Though that’s probably the steel reserve typing
Hahahahahhahahahaa!!! Finally, a real Graphic Designer.
LOVE IT. More please!
Getting a 404 now. Matthew must have whined to google+.
btw – the t-shirts i selected are not sustainable and organic BUT they are the made in america ones. yes made in america, by americans, not hipsters.
Wow, lotsa comments. Anyway, whoever that guy was that kicked the sour cream-skinned turd’s crap around was the real performance artist here.
I would call his show representing!
From Matthew Silver’s site:
“So after the fact, I posted the video on my youtube account. The diehipster.com site got a hold of it and they were ready to bash me and they did. I got too serious, I admit it, I don’t like what they stand for, I feel they are very close to the KKK.”
We’re cheering the cool black man in Union Square who took matters into his own hands for the children, and WE’RE the KKK. LMAO!
I seem to remember hearing something like that before. How did it go…oh, yeah, “Remember, ou can tell a lot about a person by the way he talks about hipsters.”
LOL the KKK… umm whatever Matthew. You make me sick. Noone wants to see your baby carrot jutting out of your snot-coloured speedos
WHAT A STUPID FUCK
A lot of us on here are Jewish and/or part Jewish too.
Does he still think we are part of the KKK?
WHAT A FUCKING TOOL
Now he’ll probably call us all pro-Zionists when the American media will stop lying about what’s going on about the Israel-Palestine conflict. Because the media never lies, amrite?
If anything, I think the hipsters that have invaded New York City and some of its neighbourhoods are closer to the KKK, with their racism and ethnic cleansing.
How about the guy who flung Matt’s stuff about? Is he KKK as well?
What about the hipsters here in London, who have almost literally pushed off of London Fields the Turkish families having picnics
So spare me, yeah?!
hahaha not a whole lot to say about the performers in this video- But HOLYYYYY shit look at some of the people that show up to watch in the background ( the dude with the suspenders and almost alarmingly tiny delicate legs what is going on there. )
Lol that guy is a trip… Just look at him conveniently whip out that iPhone as soon as someone starts talking to him at about 2:30.
Wow I just noticed this thread was from yesterday. And here I thought this was some kind of Friday special.
This shit is riveting. I’m a Californian living in Melbourne Australia for the past 17 years. I side with the native New Yorkers. Hipsters look ridiculous. I couldn’t really respect anyone I was openly laughing at.
This latest video is probably the funniest one of all, especially around 3.18 when the idiot starts his high-pitched whiny tantrum.
Awesome things here. I am very glad to look your article. Thanks so much and I’m taking a look forward to touch you. Will you kindly drop me a e-mail?
