Today’s hipster beating.

Today, I saw Cornfield Caleb and Post-Modern Parker tossing a frisbee across Bedford Ave at 1:30pm on a weekday in their fluorescent pink Raybans, skintight cutoff jeans, I Heart Ohio extra small t-shirts and Iditarod dog sled hats. So I gave each of them a locally-sourced DDT into the artisanal asphalt; then grabbed the nearest Penny Farthing and jammed their marionette-like bodies in between the spokes and rolled it into the East River. End of story.

    Absolute classic hipster beating right there. I bet Cornfield Caleb and Post-Modern Parker got all pissy every time a delivery truck rolled down Bedford (you know, with people in them doing actual jobs), and they had to stop their frisbie catch.

    According to Midwest Megan’s blog, “I Have Bangs Like Zooey…Like Yah!”, one of the frisbie tosses were actually caught. At first they thought Post Modern Parker made that catch, but upon review of the Iphone video of the event (posted on Youtube by Zany Zander the freelance latte reviewer), it turns out the catch was actually made by a 5 year old New Yorker that was walking down the street with his mom. The catch ended when he walked away with the frisbie while Caleb nasally honked that “like, this is totally unacceptable!”

        ugh. i cannot stand this woman’s painting. my hipster mother in law is crazy about it. i just find it very boring and her singular eyebrow distracts from being able to judge her art fairly, i suppose, especially since she’s always painting a huge singular eyebrow on almost all of her paintings.

        • The Robespierre Of the Jet Set says:

          Agreed. I don’t GET it. Diego Garcia, yes; but not Kahlo.

          As an aside, Bucktown, in Chicago, started to be gentrified by hipsters about 15 years ago. While there was still a pretty decent percentage of Latinos in the neighborhood, the local art Nazis thought that it would be a reasonable gesture of good will by the invading infidels to the people who were being priced out of their own neighborhood to reproduce a Frida Kahlo painting in a mural on a blank brick wall facing a vacant lot at the corner of Damen and Armitage.

          It’s unfortunate that none of them bothered to take note that the Latin population in the immediate neighborhood was about 95% PUERTO RICAN. The mural was tagged to oblivion within weeks. But, y’know, yah; all those little brown people look the same …

          • Casey Cankles says:

            lol! that sounds just like the stupid hipsters around here like my mother in law! “the precious brown peoples” let’s worship! and then what ends up happening is that they do something stupid like what you describe here- ie; confuse mexican culture with cuban or something else latino and think that’s just great because surely the brown peoples love each other (even though latinos aren’t all one color to begin with, but don’t expect hipsters to know that) – come to find out they are about to get their asses kicked because they’ve called something mexican that’s actually cuban. lol.

            • FUWI says:

              I like Frida’s work and even more her life story ( maybe even better than ). She overcame insurmountable odds. The kind that would send most hipsters screaming into the night and wetting their pants for decades if they had to experience even a 1/4 what she actually did. That she found an outlet for her perspective,a sense of value, and dignity after her tragic accident is amazing; even better that she found an audience. A lot of self-proclaimed artistes would descend into a macrbe self-pity and the she fact she avoided that sets her miles above even some of the people who like to talk about her as if they really understand her, when their own work makes it clear that they don’t. She knew the meaning of the words ‘work’ and ‘intestinal fortitude’.

            • Eduardo Snapper says:

              The funny part is that many non-Mexican Latinos almost universally seem to look down on Mexicans.

    DH, Toyota owes you money. The crew involved with Prius has a display at the big Bumbershoot “take off and nuke the entire site from orbit” music show in Seattle, featuring a “Whac-a-Hipster” game:

    http://blog.seattlepi.com/thebigblog/2012/08/29/bumbershoot-will-have-whac-a-hipster-game/

    In other words, Toyota knows that it can offend the hell out of its main customer base, because it will think the joke applies to other people. The fact that Toyota is also the biggest sponsor for crap indie bands in the US? Talk about making money coming and going.

    • linguini leg cracker says:

      Unbelievable. A friend of mine actually developed a “whack-a-hipster” and also a “whack-a-politician” game for Android Market almost 3 years ago but they rejected them both because they already had too many whack-a-mole games.

      Did you check out the hipsterist cities rankings? Seriously San Juan and Denver but no Brooklyn? And Portland Maine? That can’t be right??

    Isn’t it ironic that Samsung used to run the anti hipster iPhone ads and now they advertise almost exclusively to Hipsters? Stupid Fucking Hipster band, on a rooftop, singing “OoooooOOOOoooooo” while twitching and everybody sending this killer performance to other parts of the roof.

    • Tom Ray says:

      They have to cater to hipsters. Who else can afford to switch phones and plans as often as the rest of us change underwear? You see, evidently hipsters change their underwear about as often as German tourists in August, so it makes sense for Samsung to direct their advertising budget to where the cash is hemmoraging the most: slacking motherfuckers who have no responsibilities.

    9. Shutting down the Burnside Bridge to traffic, forcing normal, non-attention-whoring people to stop and look at them (because they certainly couldn’t get across the bridge…)

    I’m all for judicious use of law enforcement, but this is one of those cases where an all-out S.W.A.T. assault should have left some bodies twitching on the ground.

    Fucking hipster cunts.

  30. When do you think this Hipster lameness first started??? I’m looking forward to hearing your opinions..in nyc my guess 1996..That is the year i saw a Brickin (or maybe a De lorean) pull up outside coyote recording (97 n 6th ) and a japanese photgrapher got out and started taking photos..thats when i said “here it comes”—GENTRIFICATION

    • Pat I says:

      Nah. i remember the old neighborhood – Carroll Gardens in the 70′s. when college professors and artsy type beardos started moving in. The difference is – they assimiliated and were a welcome shot in the arm. It’s when they started having kids that it started to change for the worst. These kids were raised by nannies, had no manners and the parents
      by and large, couldn’t cope so they spoiled them.

      Then it was the escalating property values. The first beardos who moved in took a shine to the locals they loved the fact that the rents were cheap. But when everyone discovered that HEY BROOKLYN HAS BROWNSTONES! (early 80′s)…well that’s when all the d**ches moved in. All of a sudden, the time honored tradition of sitting of on a stoop and chatting was met with a bucket of water and a “GET OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD”

      My parent’s house on First Place was bought in ’65 for 31K (three family). They sold it in 1982 for 128K. Today it’s worth well over a million bucks.So If I had to guess, it started around ’83-’84.

      • JimmyRow says:

        There is a trend going around of hipsters ‘types’ who are over 35. They may not fit the typical stereotype and vary in appearance, but they run around all amped up on coke living like they are on a continuous cloud 9. This joker reminds me of someone I met once out here in Southern Cali…actually two different guys who are 42 and 43, one couch surfs and spends his days at organic markets and digging for vinyl in thrift stores and dresses like he’s 22 and it’s quite pathetic to look at…, the other is an ‘artist’ who cuts his own hair (ala hitler youth) and drinks all day yet wakes up happy and goes steadily uphill the rest of the day….it’s really weird, its like the ‘new midlife crisis’ for gay men….it’s painful to look at

      I’m telling you…I’m seeing a backlash. This is but one example (and the Arby’s commercial, courtesy of DH).

      A guy I know (he’s in his 70′s) in North Jersey, old school and life-long resident of Jersey Cit,y hands out hipster hurt on an ireegular basis. A couple of months ago a scrffed up pretzel braid was riding his fixie on the sidewalk while checkinghis i-phone. He almost ran into my friend. The dweeb panicked and lost control. My friend helped him up and asked, “are you OK, son?”. When twatwaffle nodded, my friend replied, “good” – and proceeded to smash the bike repeatedly on the sidewalk and against wrought iron fence.

      Then he just dropped it and walked away.

      What is it with the ‘dour grandma in the tin type photo’ look? And honestly, do you REALLY need your clothes to ‘inspire’ you? I can’t remember a day in my life where, other than a professional environment, I gave two shits of a grin wether I felt ‘inspired’ by my clothing.

      I’m starting to think you can tell the hipster with a job from the hipster without a job based almost entirely on wether they use neon hair color or not.

      Oh shit, it’s Captain Fucking Obvious. I guess the idea of posting on and posting on DH and doing the same on other sites which cover other issues, has never occurred to you. I can’t help but notice how you sacks of shit self-righteously mention anti-semitism or racism when many of your have accounts on Stormfront or Chimpout (as lurkers and posters). When you oxygen wasters get jacked for your iphone by some black or latino kid, you’re spouting racial epithets left and right when you’re crying to the police. Not surprising. Butthurt hipsters who lose sleep over people not liking them, tend not to be the sharpest knives in the proverbial drawer.

    I’m sorry for going off topic and this has nothing to do with anything, but just curious if anyone else who has seen the show may notice what I have.

    That show is called Democracy Now. I saw a link for a video with a former spook on there and thought it odd combination which kicked up my curiosity. When I started to watch, there’s this woman who was hosting it and her voice was SO FUCKING GRATING that I actually couldn’t watch the video. Who the fuck runs things over there and wtf are they thinking picking someone with a voice like dull blades spinning across sandpaper to VERBALLY communicate with the public?!! It’s like she’s taking a hard, painful crap but trying not to be too loud about it.
