How can you be more or less 30 years old and play kickball in the dark with glow necklaces? HOW?? HOWWWWW??? It blows my mind. What is wrong with my generation? Why is this shit happening? How come in any other generation in recorded history you didn’t see masses of adults acting like children? Sure there probably always were very few exceptions - but now you literally see portions of cities full of people on permanent playcations! It’s fucking creepy if you ask me. It’s so sad to know that entire affordable neighborhoods of normal people have been turned into expensive playgrounds and campuses for transient, attention-starved poseurs. By the way, the girl who runs the website greenpointers.com claims there are no such thing as hipsters; that if there were such thing she would not like them; and that she is anti-gentrification. Hysterical! If you comb through her site, every post is either about shitty art & music, overpriced hipster bars and restaurants, organic farmers markets, and kewel and fun kidult activities in North Brooklyn! Like YAH!

LOL! If one were to look up “dumb cunt” in the dictionary, you would find the pic of the vapid twat that runs the Greenpointer’s site. I wonder how long it will be before hipsters finally realize that the “Hipsters don’t exist” deflection doesn’t work. At first they tried to defend their shitty excuse of a subculture (alongside gentrification), then they tried the “Hipster bashing is so [insert any previous year]” since they mistakenly thought that everyone is as superficially concerned with being “current” as them. Now, it’s “I’m not a hipster because they don’t exist”. LOL! If blogs, newspapers, magazine articles, movies, TV shows and other media were consistently praising these fucksticks to high heaven, you wouldn’t hear anything from these idiots about “not existing”.
Oh, I forgot to mention the “You’re a hipster yourself” deflection that was commonly used prior to the current one.
you’re a loser.
And you’re a stupid bitch. Hipster lover!
your mom should have taught you not to talk to ladies that way (especially ones you don’t know) what’s your name? in real life coward.
My mom would’ve chin-checked you. Coward? I’m not one of your hipster friends. Trust me sweetie, I’ve called broads far worse to their faces. You aren’t special, you wannabe bedbug rancher.
FaceTheFacts is exactly why this site has turned into a Pedophile Rapist community. You can just hear it in his demeanor. Just sitting in his stank little room eating funyons and pretending his life isn’t as sad as it really is. This guy is ruining this site.
A pedophile rapist community?
We go around raping pedophiles?
Well, pay evil unto evil.
Seriously though, something’s “wring” with you if that’s the first bit of imagery that entered your mind when thinking of a way to describe this site. Or anything, really.
No Joe, there’s something WRONG w/ FTF if that’s the first thing that comes into my head when I think of him. Oh BTW – you can get your finger out of his butt now.
Are you still a vampire, Stevie?
WEAK. One can always count on a butthurt hipster to bring the suck.
I see, there’s something wrong with HIM if YOU’RE mistaken.
W-E-A-K! Seriously. Failure on all fronts. Typical hipster.
Butthurt hipturd sockpuppet is butthurt! LOL!
Watch what you say to to my sister or I will come find find you cut you into pieces and dump you in the fucking east river. You are a fucking cunt, a little pussy who is anonymous sitting around and writing shit on the internet. Come say that shit to my face. Maybe we can set up a boxing match for charity while I beat you and the punk that runs this sight at the same time. If you think I’m playing keep it up. Have some respect and learn how to speak to a woman. I’m not playing. I have the same last name as the “cunt” who runs the greenpoint site. My first name is Joe. Im not an anonymous pussy like you. You like to call broads things to their faces? Come say it to my face you fucking pussy. Im not playing.
No sh-t. I’m a fan of this site but you cross the line when you start calling out ladies like that. Ain’t cool at all.
You’re a lying sack of shit. Go get raped by HIV positive bullqueers that just broke out of prison.
You wouldn’t know cool if it suddenly entered your being and changed you into a worthwhile human being.
Calm down Joey. You’re not gonna do shit. And you know it so stop trying to play tough guy before I come down from Bay Ridge and calm you down myself.
You should be straightening her out yourself and not leaving it to us to do it for you. When she home and said, “Guess what! I’m buying a website that’s gonna promote hipsters and gentrification and the ruination of Brooklyn!” You should have backhanded her.
Every time I’m in Williamsburg, I slap a hipster or chase one, but I can’t get rid of them myself – there’s far too many of them. What we don’t need is your sister telling these wannabe artists and musicians who can’t play for shit that it’s OK to ruin an entire neighborhood. The city’s going down in flames fast enough already. Don’t help it.
And if you guys really are native New Yorkers, then this is one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen. When the hipsters get rounded up and deported back to Culdesacia, don’t expect help when you’re rounded up with them.
Fuck you and fuck bay ridge Im from queens asshole
I dont know what hood you come from but you should mind your fucking business. No one was talking to you fucking strunze.
Lol…real tough guy. Hahhaa…just like the little dog who keeps yapping at people from behind a gate. Keep yapping puppy. Guess what, when you shoot your mouth off on the internet you are talking to people. I know you haven’t figured that out yet but yeah, you’re talking to me. Isn’t there a kickball game somewhere in a schoolyard that you’re missing? Go run along little dog. Keep yapping. Let the big dogs play.
Funny, I know plenty of people from Queens. I have a feeling they wouldn’t want you associating with it.
Maybe she shouldn’t come here and call people losers if she doesn’t like getting it in return.
Erm… she started it , joey. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.
Boxing? Sorry but I don’t live in Brooklyn or NYC. Fuck a boxing match. Let’s just have an all out brawl. I’m currently in Minneapolis. I will be home in the DC area in December. I’ll have no problem going straight up old-style skinhead on your ass. Fuck you and fuck her. You can both eat a bucket of AIDS dicks. Hipster lovin’ pieces of shit!
How does one play “keep it up”? Does that involve self-fellating?
Oh go fuck yourself already with your idle threats already. I never met a true hardass who made threats. They’re too busy washing REAL blood off their hands, so shut up you little pillow biter.
Yo, you might want to tone your shit down a bit. Maybe get some fresh air kid.
LADIES? WTF, years of feminism and you use a tired, Victorian paradigm to self- describe? Ladies were shown out of the parlor while the gentlemen drank, smoked, and taled about politics and sex, things “ladies” we’re NOT allowed to do. Grow a sense of yourself not based on your gender or an outdated ideal.
Well, actually, the salon’s environment and rules were determined by the education, breeding, and standing ( e.g. politician or ?? ) of its members. As for women not being allowed to talk about sex, that is factually incorrect. Once ‘shown out the door’, the men wouldn’t know anyway. Both sides of the fence voluntarily refrained, but not always, going into details about sexual activity as it was seen as unecessary vulgarity in mixed company. These things were matters more of consideration than domination. A Gentlemen was something that not every man could become and the same is true for a Lady. And if you were either by birthright, ( simply being born into a certain class ), failed to be addressed by any social ‘inferior’ as Ma’am or Sir, Gentleman or Lady, you could lay charges on them, have them fired from their jobs, etc etc.
That aside, we still have the present day case of hipsters being a group of cockguzzlers. So these legal, of age, adults not having any self-respect about being seen playing childrens games as if they are adult games is, as usual, unsurprising and further evidence they will follow Peter and his pipe right off the cliff.
Seriously..let’s have some class and learn how to talk to a lady, even if in disagreement, be tactful and have some class and not be trashy.
No. Let’s not. You don’t set the rules here and tell everyone to “play nice”.
You get in return what you put out. Smug and disrespectful gentrifiers don’t deserve and will not receive any tact or compassion from us. Deal with the fact that you are all hated.
I am a lady and I don’t care how you talk to me because I am not sensitive or weak. If I call you names, I expect it in return. Too bad there are too many PUNK ASS BITCHES out there. Keep your mouth shut or someone will call you on your bullshit. If you can’t back it up, be quiet. Have a nice day everybody. And, I am from Queens too. You are making my borough look bad.
Wow … Sock Puppet Fest. Like I said yesterday, empty threats are just that, empty, and internet threats are cowardly and pointless. “Jennifer,” go find another sandbox to play in. There’s no reason for you to be here. Same to you, “Joe,” “Ain’t Cool,” “BK Lives.” Have a nice day, but do it somewhere else.
.Yo Robes, how do you defend a guy that calls women dumb cunts? Don’t you have daughters or a mom or a wife?
I’m not defending anything or anyone. I’m just saying that coming here and wallpapering this site with hateful comments in response to someone else’s hateful comments is a total waste of your and our time. Listen, you’re not going to change anybody by coming in here and haranguing them, so what you’re doing is pointless. This is allegedly still a free country; FTF has the same right to say anything he wants, no matter how stupid or hateful what he says may be perceived, as you have to play kickball in the dark, not matter how stupid THAT may be perceived by the denizens of this blog. Whether I have daughters or a mom or a wife, or even what I think about FTF’s comments, is immaterial. Opinions are like assholes; everybody’s gone one. If you don’t like what’s posted here, don’t come here. End of story.
“Listen, you’re not going to change anybody by coming in here and haranguing them, so what you’re doing is pointless.”
Isn’t that the ENTIRE point of DIE! and you’re little community of facethefacts pubescent followers?
Nice try. There IS no “point” to DH. DH is what it is, and that’s ALL it is. It’s a place for people to vent their frustrations, not to try to change anyone’s minds. As for “pubescent followers,” you’ve never been more incorrect in your life. There’s more to life than trying to censor those who don’t share the same opinions as you.
“There’s more to life than trying to censor those who don’t share the same opinions as you”
I could do this all day Jet Set. You’re too easy. You just, once again, diminished everything DIE! is supposedly about.
How can you say I diminish what DH “is supposedly about,” when you have no idea what that is? And yes, we know you can spew your silliness all day, because we know you have nothing better to do with your time. But the market close is coming up and I’ve got some futures to scalp and some spreads to set, so have an exciting weekend living your active urban lifestyle. Slainte!
“There’s more to life than trying to censor those who don’t share the same opinions as you” ~ The Robespierre Of the Jet Set
Laughing at =/= censoring.
Er, no. It isn’t.
Perhaps if you realised that, you would finally, finally understand.
Never in the history of this site has DH, or any of the commenters, claimed to be able to change anyone. We’ve never said we could single-handedly bring an end to the trend. We’ve never claimed to be important.
YOU are the ones who think that blogging can change the world and make a person into an important historical figure. We’ve never said that.
YOU are the ones who think that blogging is for talking about yourself, rather than creating a non-pretentious community for people to vent and share their opinions.
If you take the me-me-me, let’s change the world approach to blogging, as 99.99% of hipsters do, then yes, blogging does make you a hipster. But it’s perfectly possible to avoid that approach. Not everyone thinks they’re famous, or is trying to be famous.
If you find the comments on here too childish, well, that’s your problem and it’s best dealt with by avoiding this website in favour of one you like. Yeah, sometimes the discussion gets childish on here. But guess what? That’s how human beings are from time to time, when they live honestly and earn the right to be relaxed and act naturally. Something hipsters are incapable of doing.
We’re serious when we have something to be serious about, and childish when it’s appropriate. Hipsters, on the other hand, manage to be babyish and prematurely elderly at the same time. You’re cynical out of choice, when you’ve got nothing to be cynical about, just for the sake of selling yourselves short. You behave like five year olds for the sake of selling yourselves short. And you go round thinking you can change the world by combining the two. Change it into what? A world where everyone wants to be a loser for the sake of being a loser?
Some people don’t like the sound of that. And if this site seems to them like a last little bastion of sense in the world, they’re going to come on here to let off steam among like-minded people. You can come on here with as many pseudo-philosophical arguments as you like, but none of them will make any difference, because you’ll always be the one with the big ambitious plan to change people, while we’re happy just to laugh at you, your fellow try-hards, and quite often, at ourselves.
And you will never, never understand that.
I think your Robespierre Of the Jet Set said it best:
“There’s more to life than trying to censor those who don’t share the same opinions as you”
LAUGHING AT PEOPLE =/= CENSORING PEOPLE.
Calling women “Dumb Cunts” =/= Laughing at People.
The way I heard in since childhood is ” Opinions are like belly buttons and assholes, everyone’s got ‘em, half of ‘em are fuzzy and the rest smell like shit!”.
Yo, whoa….’denizen’?
Denizen?!!!!
Now look Robby, if you’re not careful I may have to call you a doo-dee face and I don’t want things to have to get that ugly. lol
Hey dipshit, I called HER a dumb cunt. At least I didn’t tell her to get raped like I tell the dudes all of the time to do. Get raped loser.
Gary, is this your first time on the internet?
Jet Set, I actually like this site and visit often but I’m sorry that I don’t find it cool for one of these guys to start degrading women, even if she’s a hipster. Sorry, just ain’t cool.
So it ain’t cool. So what? What do you think should be done about it? Should FTF be banned from DH? Should they be CENSORED?
The appropriAte response is to say “F you” or ignore. no one said anything about censorship.
Die.
Oh gee, what a terrible loss your bright mind will be.
Now get the fuck out. And yes, I AM defending FTF. I got not problem doing that.
You’re a typical dickless pseudo-liberal nimwit…you seize on a word in the idea, instead of the idea itself. Then you start creating petitions and brow beating people to sign them, even though they no longer are built on an imagined problem, instead of a real one.
( Wait for it…here it comes…you’re firing your engines to say….)
“Oh there’s a problem FUWI and it’s people like you supporting the misogynistic, violent thinking of someone like FTF.”
That about right? Can you stop for a minute and wonder to yourselves why it is that your knee-jerk response is so predictable? Do you care?
I don’t think so. So go eat a bowl of fuck.
Hey Face…I’m a women on this site and I get a kick out of it from time to time. But, when you start going in this direction, you’re WAY off base and kinda creepy. I’m sure there’s a few women followers of DIE! so watch what you’re spewing.
You are boring. The female followers of DH agree with me. Keep in mind, they’re actual women, not bedbug farming cankleskanks like yourself. Go drown yourself in the Gowanus.
Yeah you twit. I’m sure all the women on here LOVE being called “Dumb Cunts.” You’re losing little kid. You seem to have such a bright future ahead of you;).
They aren’t being called cunt, you are.
So I am now. Before it was Jennifer. Anyone else you’d like to add to the list? How about your Mom? I’m sure she’d appreciate that.
Hipserettes and hipster wannabes barely count as human (you have more in common with Bedbugs , let alone “women”.
Face, I would bet anything that you’ve yet touched a girl. And that plastic thing in the corner of your bedroom don’t count.
Wow, more 5th grade level insults. Since you’re a hipster, you are in no position to say anything about another dude’s dealings with the opposite sex. Go click the “Fishing for Hipsters” link and take a look at what a bunch of pathetic beta males you hipsters truly are. After all, a rather average looking chick with less-than-decent tattoo work was able to scam $60,000 out of despearate, lonely beta male losers like yourself. Sucks to be you.
Jenny, my sincere apologies, that was friendly fire caused by my mistaking you for Jennifer what’s Her problem’s post. My intent was to inform that 1 specific person was called cunt NOT all woman kind! Do you jump on every woman who calls a man a prick?
Are women so weak in your estimation that they need male champions to defend them in a verbal pissing contest?
Once again this was a case of mistaken identity, not a gratuitous attack on you.
Well, it looks I mistook Jenny for Jennifer while checking out the site during my late and brief lunch. I thought I was dealing with the same person. Oh well, fog, friction, chance.
Every single feminist I know would find you cringingly embarassing. You’re weak mindedness, your apparant inherit inability to see the forest for the trees, your fear mongering and bullying, and your obviousTrollshit are no traits of any woman with an ounce of self-respect. So that leaves only a few options…
1) you really ARE a dumb bitch and the truth hit a nerve
2) you have in inate sense that while your friends smile at you, they don’t really LIKE you and so criticism from strangers, who you have no stake with, sparks the over-reactionary in you
3) you need to go to prison for a few years in order to find out wether you have a backbone at all
Hey, good luck with all that.
FTF, I understand you and am not offended, but then again I’m not a punk. BTW, I am a feminist. But if I can call a man an asshole, a dick etc. etc., then it’s fair game.
You know what they say – if the cunt fits, wear it.
I don’t see a problem with this. Just make the glow sticks out of Tritium or some other rilly kewl radiocative isotope.
I don’t see why not. The ones who go kayaking in the Gowanus are already contaminated with Lord-Knows-What.
Bad idea. The last thing we need are more mutations among the hipster population. “Run! It’s…CANKLEZILLA!”
Just one word: phosphoros.
*phosphorus
but pedantry aside, yes, that’s what is needed
I’m surprised they let a black guy play kickball with them. As a rule hipsters are more racist than the uncultured masses they despise.
A few of them probably knew ahead of time that the Greenpointers site was doing a piece on them, and chose to get the most out of this photo opportunity. With hipsters, almost everything with them is calculated. “Like yah! Look at us! We’re diverse!”
Somebody a while back pegged it: A Blipster.
He’s their token black guy.
Funny you can scroll through the “art” section of that site for pretty much ever without seeing anything worth while. If you can’t draw, you can’t paint, don’t slap the excuse “its my style” onto it just because you draw like you’re in middle school and actually working hard in art school never crossed your mind because daddy is paying for it anyway and college is all about putting on a fashion show 24/7 and having “raves” and costume parties.
get a life. raves are from the early 90s… like 20 years ago! if you’re going to make fun of people – at least do it in the right century!
Look at little miss wannabe showing us how “hip” she is. Newsflash, they may not call them “raves” in your neck of the woods, but pretty much still the same thing — electronic music and drugs. You’re trying too hard — a common thing among hipsters.
You’re not trying at all. That’s your problem. There is something called a LIFE out there that you seem to have missed.
“FTF is Gay”? Now THAT’s tolerant. Hypocrite.
You’re right. I’m not trying at all and I’m still doing better than you. Am I supposed to be offended because a closet case hipster called me gay? Let the gay dudes tell it, you hipster closet cases are not only quite desperate (you fail miserably on the hetero side of things) but quite depraved (Meghan’s strapon just doesn’t do it after a while, huh?). Lemme guess, you’re looking for someone with huge fists that you can call “master”?
how do you live here and not know there is a drug-fueled techno dance-party every day of every weekend, sometimes here, but mostly in queens? Everytime I turn on the radio I hear some DJ promoting, everytime I go onto facebook some friend of a friend has sent me an invite. Google ‘NYC Rave’ and I guess come to the stunning realization there is an obnoxious amount of techno/dubstep nightlife producing the same pictures of sweaty white kids in plastic bracelets sucking on pacifiers there were 20 yrs ago.
That site is nothing but pro-yuppie gentrification crap. Christ, they’ve already driven out any racial diversity and bastardized all related to art and music and culture. Can’t they fucking think of some original ideas that are GOOD? Same yuppie crap everywhere. NYC is dead, polluted by whitebred yuppie parasites.
“But Mr.Baerga, you just don’t understannnnnnd how harrrrrd it is for usssss to beeee heeeeer, like. Ya know? It’s really, really, really, really harrrrrd not to whiiiiiine. But whining is how wee talk and you brown people – what are you? a mix of pr and black person or something? that’s cool, anyway – Just brown people don’t think we’re niiiiiiiiiiiice and we tryyyy to beeeee niiiiiiice. Like that one time I smiled at an old brown lady, but she didn’t smile back at meeeeeeee. That was reeely meannnn, yahhhhhh. So we need more good people like us to come around here, ‘K? That’s all we mean. Yah. So, OK, So yeahhhhhh. Well bye…oh, you want a rice krispie treat? See? I can be nice, yahhhhh.”

this is the “girl” from greenpointers. my name is jennifer galatioto. i don’t hide my name from the public like a coward. i never said those things. i said to discriminate against people because they are part of a group is prejudice and that since hipsters are not a defined group in terms of race, age, gender, religion, it is a covert form of prejudice. undefinable – yes. people who aren’t on the diehipster side of things – yes.
i have many contributors to the website and one of them wanted to post photos from glow in the dark kickball. i said yes because i don’t care if people want to hang out in the park and play a sport and have fun. i don’t hate people for enjoying themselves. they aren’t pissing and shitting and harassing people. they are socializing – which i am sure our friend diehipster – doesn’t know how to do, which is why he is so jealous of hipsters. everyone reading this is FOOLED! diehipster is a hipster – don’t you all get it? he is playing a trick on you. how do i know he is a hipster? he has a blog!
i was born and raised in nyc – and i don’t hate people for moving here from other places and expressing themselves as they wish to do. i know that gentrification is a fact of life in nyc. nyc changes every single day. how i am the “cause” of this or amd a “cheerleader” for this – i don’t know and i don’t care.
i love greenpoint and all the different people who live here, original people born here, polish immigrants, little old puerto rican ladies and the new american people who moved her from different places for work. many of them don’t have any money. i don’t know anyone with a trust fund. they all work hard and on their spare time want to have fun.
diehipster – why are you wasting your life away hating other people who you don’t know? all of that negativity is going to destroy your insides. it’s vile to think and talk about people the way you do. and to spread the disease of your hatred to other people – the people who follow this blog. think about if you spent all your time and energy on something positive – how much more successful you would be as a person and how much better the world would be for it.
I’m waiting for you to bust out a chorus of Kumbaya…
i’d rather sing that than live in a filthy world of hate and disgust. while at times this blog is funny – it can be very pathetic and truly worthless.
Go back to your room and color…
So, sing, who’s stopping you? Just pick a better song and don’t tell me I’m out of tune!
Kumbaya. A song taught to African natives by missionaries, another group of busybodies that move into a neighborhood and tell the natives what to do!
Wait up Jen-trification. I’m a hipster because I have a blog? <– There it is: Excuse # 14 on the list of things butthurt hipsters say. I also have an i-Phone which really seals the deal that I'm a hipster. So if I'm a hipster, why are you so mad at me? I'm one of them! I'm one of you! If its all a trick on my part, why are you defending all the "people just having a good time" that I call out on my site? Make up your fucking mind. Trust me, I believe you are born and raised here; you have all sorts of friends; you know Polish people and little old PR ladies – however you are fueling a fire as well. You are a hypocrite. How do you say hi to a little old lady or some hard working immigrant in the morning and then raise a glass of local organic sustainable craft ale at night with some pretentious douche who masquerades as a creative type and pays $2000 a month for an apartment? Pick one.
JENTRIFICATION! I will give it to you – you are funny! i am not defending anyone. i just think it’s a waste of time to hate people who you don’t know. if someone is an asshole to me, the i can hate them, but to hate an entire group is ignorant and a waste of time. call me a hypocrite – call me anything you want. i don’t see anything wrong with drinking whatever fancy ass beer or wine i want. i worked my ass off to afford my 1600 per month awesome apartment and now am buying a place in queens. no one gave me money. i worked and didn’t waste my time thinking about other people and being jealous of them. the only one who is the douche bag is you. GET A REAL LIFE. stop hiding behind your hateful blog.
If it’s such a waste of time WHY ARE YOU HERE?
If someone was criticizing my site, and I thought they were pointless, I would forget all about it. I sure wouldn’t spend my time in their comment section…..
YOU might love hipsters, but WE do not. It really is that simple.
Here is a solution to your problem: STOP READING THE DAMN THING!
Asshole, this is the way New York works, neighborhoods change and things move on. Get over it. Do your fucking knowledge. Let me ask you a question: do you think all the people who are making lots of money owning property collecting rents in williamsburg would rather have the neighborhood the way it was in the 80′s? With all these people coming into Brooklyn, many have learned to take advantage of it as an economic opportunity, unlike you who has a million viewers every day but cat monetize your site. Your anonymity speaks volumes about what you are. You wanna disagree with people fine but don’t call anyone a hippocrate. Reveal yourself and stop being such a bird. You should really erase the comments calling people cunts but since you are a fucking pussy you wont. Eat a dick. Your a sad , sad human being.
Trust me. I dont agree with many things said in the comments section. I also feel some people spend WAYYYYYYYYYYY too much time commenting and leave WAYYYYYYYYY too many comments. And some people like yourself take things way too seriously. But me being anonymous doesn’t change the fact that hipsters have made Brooklyn expensive and are annoying attention starved try hards. There are way more non land lords than landlords.
Thank you DH for not monetizing this site. As I see the number of hits grow every day I fear for the day that there is a big targeted ad box on a side bar that scrolls the entire length of each page like so many other successful blogs now have. Those are super annoying.
Obviously if you need the money, get after it, but if not there are a lot of non hipsters in this world who can appreciate someone doing something becasue it means something to them, and not just to try to make a quick buck. I can count on one hand the number of great blogs with a ton of traffic which are not selling ad space.
Tonite’s non-celebrity deathmatch is….
Greenpointe Jentrification vs the Caped Dillidante
What’s a hippocrate? Is that the thing they shipped the animals from the NYC to Madagascar in the movie Madacasgar? By the way, I am the spelling police and I think you have a hard time expressing yourself since you are incapable of speaking without using expletives. Oh yeah, you’re also a slack jawed, jizz-gurgling cum drunk butt pirate!
Neighborhoods change, for the better and for the worse. What’s wrong with hating THIS particular change? How anyone can like when an awesome neighborhood gets overrun by a group of pretentious, worthless, silly, buffoons, I just have no clue. Seriously, these hipsters aren’t like immigrants of the past. Instead, they come to BK in order to get cool points so when they go back to flyover land, they can be “cool”, and ruin everything in their wake. They want to turn Greenpoint into a strip mall.,.
Jen is a Hypocrite because she calls Italians, “Guidos” which is a racist Term towards Italians. For her its OK to describe an entire race with a racist term but its not OK for DIEHIPSTER to call Hipsters, Hipsters? Liberal Racism at its best!!!
“Im a Rock, IM a stone, Im Brooklyn to the Bone”!!!!!!
They are defined by marketers – worldwide. if anything they are more accurate because their research and earnings depend on real, usuable data that’s not colored with political correctness.
Apple, American apparel, Urban Outfitters, Mini Cooper. PBR, Levi Strauss, – even TARGET – has your number. They determine what you eat, wear and buy.You people are the ultimate in hypocrisy because you tout yourself as indivduals yet all dress alike buy the same stuff and hell – even talk the same (YAAAAAaaaaa). You rail against corporations yet you support them. You guys rant against a brokerage firm but Apple – a trillion dollar company – gets a free pass.
You’re an individual all right – just like everyone else.
As far as immigrants goes…what immigrants? You guys are pushing them out to the point that Bushwick is starting to look like a Klan meeting.
every ad on my website is a LOCAL business in greenpoint. NOT APPLE, TARGET, URBAN OUTFITTER, etc.
I never mentioned your blog or the “ads” on it, did I?
Were your computers, servers, and any other related electronics that you may use to operate your blog also all made in Greenpoint by a local Greenpoint company? Is the bank that your ad revenue flow through also a locally owned Greenpoint family business? If so bravo.
But don’t worry. We’re not laughing at you – were laughing against you.
You people have screwed up a great city beyond belief. Brooklyn used to be diverse, edgy and a great place to live. No every f**cking day the L train and is host to prom night, Halloween and homecoming and band practice for a bunch of beardos and cankle spaniels.
when i was a kid, i used to go to no. 6th with my godmother, who’s mom still lives in a rent controlled spot on that street. we couldn’t play on the street. there were crackheads and criminals and needles and trash everywhere.
..no different than Woodhull park and the playground at PS 42′s. Yet I played there.
No different from the Lower East Side and Spanish Harlem playgrounds we had in the 60s and 70s, yet we played there too. And we loved it!
No different than Eastside Manhattan in the 50s. Gunfights on the roof too. We palyed everywhere and loved life.
It didn’t have to be crackheads or hipsters. This is a false equivalence- as if the only choices are gangbangers and junkies or kidult kick ball players. There are plenty of other people that can live in a neighborhood that improve things.
You can improve a neighborhood without making it cul-de-sac city.
Exactly!! Why do we have to speak in extremes? Are our only two choices crackheads or hipsters? Isn’t a neighborhood improved simply by having hardworking, decent people living there who are invested in their city? I grew up in projects in Queens but my neighbors were, by and large, a diverse group of people with middle class values just trying to eke out a decent life for their families. And no, this wasn’t during the 40s or 50s, it was the 70s and 80s.
So why does Greenpointers moderate their comments? I try and have the discussion about hipsters on your blog and just about every single comment gets squashed. No free speech or open discussion at Greenpointers. It’s all pro-hipster happy happy joy joy or it never sees the light of day. Please not the lack of censorship at diehipster. Who’s hiding now?
For real, die hipster probably has given more youtube views to shitty indie bands from Bushwick than every blog combined. What a fucking loser.
Joe…this is a blog. A blog that hates hipsters. It’s not your “sister’s blog. If “she” comes in here complaining she should expect to take it as well as dish it out. Comments her are not moderated so enter at your own risk. there’s a FAQ section. She should read it.
Also – yes – neighborhoods change. Some change and maintain the same economic flavor, like Bensonhurst. Hipsters contribute nothing to neighborhoods. Zilch. nada. They can’t defend themselves save for pointing an I-phone at you, chanting “shame!” with 40 other walking lice farms or blowing on a rape whislte (and i’m talking about the guys here.
So for all the perceived improvements they’ve made to Brooklyn, cops have to work harder because they lack common sense and cannot defend themselves, they are not aware of their surroundings. And yet for all the protection they get – they hate the cops.
What you don’t understand is that these people are an infestation. They push the good people out through high rents (please explain to me how you can have an entire neighborhood of artists and unpaid social media interns paying 3000/mo for a loft?) and quirky business ideas which leave empty store fronts on a regular basis. Then watch them go all activist on your a*8 when Duane Reade wants to open a store. – or god forbid a hardware store.
But this won’t happen Joe because not one of these tryhards has a degree in the hard sciences. And if they do open a business it’s always something fun, quirky and zany and parentally funded. Because well all know full well that banks will not lend money to a Meghan for a cupcake shop when there are 16 of them in the same two block stretch.
In closing they are obnoxious, rude, filthy and snooty. How dare they refer to long time residents as “townies”? They get on a crowded train with a backpack big enough for a polar expedition, knocking into people and not haveing the courtesy to take it off and excuse themselves? They move in and all of a sudden long time tradtions are to be stopped? Can;t have the church bells ringing at noon because my little Connor is taking a nap. Feast of San gennaro…you remember that debacle? They want to stop it because they think it’s classless. This from a a bunch of self-abusing spider monkeys who have public pillow fights, condiment battles and zombie parades? I guess work is out of the question.
if they really want to do something quirky, new and innovative, and truly be individuals why don’t they start with delousing their f*@&cking apartments?
She didn’t come here complaining, this asshole made the first comment and used language that is unacceptable. Here is the bottom line, no one is going to change the fact that things change in new york. I cant stand half the douchebags I see in Brooklyn but what can anyone do about it? I just cant have people like that say things and think its ok.
“I cant stand half the douchebags I see in Brooklyn but what can anyone do about it?”
You can vent and get a good laugh about it! That’s pretty much what everyone here does, but sometimes the city varies.
dude, fuck you and your “unacceptable language”.
DADDY! The boys are talking nasty to me again! Call your lawyer and make them STAAAAPPP!
Let’s see…you’re trying to combat the general consensus that hipsters are emotionally-stunted preternatural adolescents who are subsidized in one way or another by parents way after the age of majority and who are constantly hunting ways to get the praise that was bestowed upon then as children for doing absolutely nothing but simply existing. That they’ll do anything-troll, harass, stalk, pull stunts, etc-to get it because not getting it is a psychological wound to them.
If you’re trying to combat those perceptions, then why have you left dozens of self-absorbed, navel-gazing comments that only prove those assumptions to be correct?
Two words Brain, hakuna matata
No such thing as hipsters. Is this lady for real. Look at the ads on the site. One especially stuck out to me that screamed kidult on a playcation ” The Yard: A Space to (word Work crossed out and replaced with) Learn”. Learn what? How to restore old type writers?
how to learn how to be a professional person with a real job.
In a yard???
hey jen
If you are from NYC then you would understand the point of DH and those contribute to this blog. This blog is like sitting on the stoop and shooting the bull like i have done my whole life. You sit on the stoop and any conversation comes up. The problem is we sit on the stoop and see all this trash around us and you can’t help but point out the shit these people come up. BTW Glow in the dark kickball is not a sport…as you call it.
Neither is jacking off your buddy FaceTheFacts but you do it. I guess we’re even.
i grew up sitting on my stoop in middle village. one night my brother’s friends were playing stickball in the school yard. one kid of his friends was black. all of a sudden i watch about 50 guidos roll up on my brother and his friends and kick the living shit out of them bronx tale style because one kid (who was the sweetest person alive) was black. you know what people call black people? trash. you know what you call hipsters? trash. just because i grew up in the city doesn’t mean i hate people i don’t even know, which is why i think this blog is shit.
The DH posters here enjoy ripping on these “individuals” who are all pasty, bearded, “artsy” do-nothings mostly from Flyoverlandia who think real urban NYC neighborhoods should be transformed into their personal playgrounds. Just because YOU notice the old PR lady or the Polish guy down the block does not mean that the majority of your cohorts do. They’re happy to gentrify them to the edge of society as if they don’t even exist. “Ewww, racist NYC ethnics. They’re so parochial and un-artsy working those crummy 12 hour a day jobs and eating food from bodegas.”
I from the streets. Word to your mother’s uncle.
You can’t distinguish between the 400+ year history of black americans and “hipsters” ? hint: hipster-ism is a pose, a choice, a phase of life (probably) among otherwise well heeled brats who are slumming until they revert to form and become yuppies. The only thing [alleged] hipsters are slaves to is trendiness.
You keep bringing up events from the past that have zero to do with whats going on here.
You would think we were blowing up buildings instead of cracking jokes! Jeez, relax! Maybe YOU love hipsters and think they have something to contribute, but I think they suck. I give people a chance on an individual level, but as a group, hipsters are assholes. This is nothing like racist hatred- you choose to be a hipster, choose to be a jerk. Being a hipster is not a race or ethnicity.
You are a fucking idiot equating hipster hate with racism.
I’m calling FUCKING BULLSHIT on this. I am 95% certain you are NOT a native of NYC. First you say you couldn’t play outside because of all the ‘needles, criminals and crackheads’ and now you say you were outside playing stickball in the school yard in middle village? first off, get your story strait. second, sorry, middle village was never the ‘hardcore’ crime ridden place you claim it was in the late 80s and 90s (seeing as how you’re in your 20s). third if you were a kid then, NO ONE played stick ball.
by the way, i have never seen nor heard of anything like that EVER happening in queens. yeah. now remember, this is queens, the most diverse place on the planet. so your story is your ‘brother’ (joe?) and his group of white had one black friend and a mob of 50 italian kids (or guidos because you’re clearly not a closet racist) ‘roll up’ and beat the shit out of all of them because of hanging around with one black person. yeah. OOOOOOOOOOKAAAAAAAY. #1 never have seen a group of friends here ever be all of one race #2 i’ve never seen any ‘race fights’ or riots here in queens EVER. people got fucked up for being herbs, no one gave a fuck about what color they are. you know what i think? i think you and your rich white friends call black people trash.
Hey Jennifer, hate to break it to you, but every hipster I met looks down on us natives and brown people. Get a clue. You really are too old to be a bird brain.
Hey, hipster chick, do you mind if I just indulge in some unabashed, gratuitous name calling for the sole purpose of insulting you? OK, good: Tits or GTFO, you dumb cunt.
I liked that park alot better when the Puerto Ricans hung on one side, The Blacks on the other and the Italians over on the other side. Everybody had a line of respect. Everybody was real, everybody had respect, everybody knew the rules and EVERYBODY WAS FROM BROOKLYN!!!!!!!.. There not there anymore because these fuckwad racist Hipsters (yes they are Liberal Racists but dont know it) pushed them out not Via violence but by economics!!!!! And thats the worst kind of Racist
Yeah, they’re racist in another way. When a native Brooklynite has to interact with one of these children, they hear your accent and look at you like you’re from another planet. They look down on you, it is amazing! The only solace we can all take is that it cannot support itself forever. Parents only make so much money y’know. Hopefully, they will move on like the plague eating locusts that they are and discover Neuw Wisconsin or some other place.
ALSO, we all liked Prospect Park a lot better when it was full of muggers and crazy people. The cyclists can’t even train there bc of the idiot hipsters who insist on walking 12 across the bike path.
And let’s not forget the dogs. It’s bad enough when you have individual walkers prancing twelve abreast, who get pissy because other people might want to get past them. It’s worse when they come out with their kids and insist that they all stretch across, hand in hand, so little Hummus doesn’t get lost and eaten by a grue. The ones that drive me really insane are the ones walking their little Labradoodles or other poofy dog, because anything so much the size of a beagle would drag them through the streets. I’ve watched this happen with cyclists so many times, and had it happen so many times myself, that it makes my teeth ache: a legitimate cyclist tries to warn said dogwalker that he’s trying to pass on the left. A real person already has a good grip on the leash, and will move their dog to the side, letting everyone go their own way. If it’s a hipster, though, the dog goes to one side, the hipster goes to the other, and the whole trail is clotheslined by the leash. Meanwhile, the hipster stands there with a big dribbly grin, that looks like he wants to say “I just shit my pants! Aren’t you proud of me?”
And don’t even get me going about the hipsters who feel that leashes on their pets are cruel and inhumane. It’s bad enough that they come out with dogs as dangerously inbred as they are. It’s when the dog starts chasing after cyclists or other dogs, or just decides “I can’t take this any more” and runs out into traffic. It’s not the fault of the owner who is too stupid and entitled to understand why leash laws are in place. No, it’s YOUR fault for being there and guaranteeing that Snuffalufagus gets pepper-gassed, gets rabies, , or gets splattered by a semi.
Ha! Grue……
“ALSO, we all liked Prospect Park a lot better when it was full of muggers and crazy people.” this is funny but true!
the property tax was created to prevent slave owners from leaving them their land and home after they died because they knew the slaves would not be able to make the money to pay that percentage on a greatly inflated estimate of its value, therefore becoming property of the government. by the way, this was created by democrats. they’ve always been the hateful rich white racists looking to exorcise their demons by trying really hard to look like they give a shit about people of color by giving them handouts and affirmative action boosts (essentially telling entire groups of people you are mentally incompetent, you are savages and without us, you will always be nothing) it’s nothing more than a subconscious desire to keep people down (like yah, competition is scary, yah) without blatantly doing it.
this blog is such a stupid waste of time. don’t all you people know that diehipster is sucking the life out of you? violence and hatred are so contagious. it makes me sick.
Yet here you are, posting and replying just like the rest of us!
Lol! It’s still a free country(for now), you don’t have to be on this sight Jen.
Ok so lets see…. I’m funny; but I should get a life; you have to give it to me; but i’m a douche; we’re wasting our time; but you’re also on here. Make up your mind! I like how you are proud to pay $1600 for an apartment. Yours and all the apartments in your neighborhood are double the rent they should be all because of transient pseudo-whimsy hipsters who have been passing through for the last 10-15 years. They have no real love for Brooklyn; they love to play and be seen and go when the going gets tough or when they read about a new kewel city somewhere else in this country. So you are telling me that you dont find it weird seeing fully grown adults playing with glow sticks and kickballs????? This is normal behaviour to you? The fact that all in the name of this so-called “fun” has made regualr people move out of the neighborhoods they grew up in so Caleb and Ursula can play for a few years? Explain yourself Jentrifer!!!
“Hipsters don’t exist; but if they did I wouldn’t like them; but you are a hipster; but although I also don’t like you, it’s for a different reason.”
Don’t these liberal arts colleges have debating societies any more?
Yeah, they mumble into their hands.
nah. it would actually require a) taking a firm stance on something b) to debate would imply some form of competition/confict and c) give thought to logic and reason and not simply feelings and rhetoric (i.e. ‘wahh someone called me a cunt! look at all the violence, hate and racism on this site!)
I’d check your hair for beard lice
Every word you’ve typed so far is dripping with real hate. We’re having fun. You? Not so much. You’re obviously taking this all way too seriously.
This site is very funny. It must suck to be you, Jennifer Garofalo, filled with anger and hate.
GO HOME AND PUT ON YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES!
WHY are YOU here then?
And yet yoy KEEP RETURNING AND COMMENTING. Go away.
If this site repulses you so then what the fuck are you doing here?
Jen…. Please capitalize something…. Just one letter…. Please? You are a “writer” and yet you really, really do not know how to write……
I love the name of the album: “Greenpoint McCarren Park Kickball in Technicolor!” Thank god we have such witty creative types who infuse some “retro”-ness into it by using the word Technicolor – very original! Also, “It started off as a school project and has since become a regular outing for a group of Brooklyn friends.” – So glad they mentioned they were a group of BROOKLYN friends, wouldn’t want to be mistaken for anything else.
TECHNICOLOR? How long before they start referring to movies as “talkies”?
And further more, if this was my stoop i’d kick you off!
Tough guy.
“It started off as a school project”
Elementary school?
Hipsters are so clownish they are begging to be mocked out, why all the butthurt?
Jentrifier, like other hipsters from time to time, feel the need to try to convince people on DH that what they & their hipster friends are doing is just “fun” and has no impact on the hoods they live in.
It’s because it reminds them of their days back in Dogfelcher Falls, when even the anime geeks laughed and pointed at them. They didn’t move to Brooklyn or Portland to take artistic risks. They moved there because everyone was supposed to be just like them, and they’d never get a swirly in a gym toilet again.
You make a really valid point that these hipsters move to this city, and to Portland to be surrounded by other stick figured nothings. This is why they put on that smug face, and are completely dismissive of the locals and anyone else who isn’t wearing the hipster uniform. When they see the uniform, it signals that the person wearing it is beta, safe, and unthreatening,
When everyone’s an “artist”, nobody’s special any more because of their talent.
Seriously – if you want to be an artist, go to some random city and work, work, work at your craft, and people will appreciate it. If you’re in Portland, even if you’re good, you’ll get lost in the sea of dreck out there. Case in point – my wife and her friend/agent had a table at Last Thursday, and it was a disappointment – few sales and a few hours among drunken hipsters.

what do arm tattoos have to do with food jobs?
I blame hormones in our food. You didn’t see this crap when we were growing up.
There’s definitely something in the water. Men are becoming more and more like little girls every day. No offense to little girls. I was one once, then I grew up.
So you’re a man now?
What are you talking about? Where did she say she was a dude you dumbfuck?
Oh, you saw it. It’s just that you never saw large concentrations of them. Thirty years ago, Caleb and Evan would have been working the night shift at the Circle K back in Dogfelcher Falls, dreading the day Mom and Dad died and they’d have to move out of the basement. Now, they have a destination, and Mom and Dad are perfectly happy to pay for them to go the fuck away.
And when they DO come back, they discover that Mom and Dad have changed the locks and bought a Rotweiller.
I have to say, this Jennifer girl has it right. Everyone on here sounds exactly alike. Calling everyone Caleb’s and Ethan’s…it is like a cult and everyone must agree w/ DIEHIPSTER with fear of getting hated on yourself. L-E-T-S A-L-L T-A-L-K T-H-E S-A-M E W-A-Y….there are very few original thoughts on here. You may not realize it, but the HATE you’re exposed to everyday is really bad for your soul guys. Bash me all you want but it’s true and deep down you know it. Most of you are still teenagers so you get a pass. But for you older guys…what they hell are you doing on here? I think I read some guy was 52 and retired in Vegas? GET A LIFE dude! Damn. There MUST be something better to do with your time. Has to be.
I think the DH is just satire. In a way, hipsters should love Die Hipster because it is witty and urbane. Honestly, though, I grew up being intimidated by hipsters because they were so radically white. And I am white–though admittedly Italian-American. I think it is white, heartland culture taken to an extreme level that made me so weirded out. Just trying to be honest here.
So sayeth the professional victim.
How old are you? What do you do genius and why are you here?
We have jobs. there a re a lot of people on this site with advanced degrees in the hard sciences that keep the city safe. We are a diverse
Listen to yourself – I at the age of fifty – have a family. I go home at night take my son to swimming practice, go over his homework and then go to work the next day. I’ve never ragged on a hipster because of his age. What i do rag on is the fact that many – are at least in their late 20′s and can still be found lounging around coffee shops. I have a life. A great one in fact. My pride doesn’t come from building lego buildings or using a manual typewriter in public. The pride of many on this board stems from being good parents, supporting their family and working at a job that actually means something.
When i was a kid the only people you saw in my ‘hood walking the streets were old people and moms
doing the shopping with their little kids.
The only difference now is that the moms are now the old people and the kids are twenty something years old.
And a side note: No community can thrive on art alone. You need technology and real manufacturing jobs. Why? because when people are flush with cash, they spend it on
worthless stuff. But when money’s tight, people still have to eat and call a plumber when 6 inches of impacted sewage is flowing down their steps. This is what happened in the renaissance. When belts start tightening, artists go back to pumping gas.
And lets forget about the starving artist crap. They live in a community that thrives on 10 dollar chocolate bars and 5 dollar cups of coffee and 16 dollar omelets. Hardly starving.
The bottom line: People like art. People do not need art. If given the choice between meeting the rent feeding yourself or straving and living out of a box ans buying a 600 dollar photograph of yet another watertower everyone will opt for the former.
“We have jobs. there a re a lot of people on this site with advanced degrees in the hard sciences that keep the city safe.”
Yeah, that seems plausible. Especially your brother FaceTheFacts. That woman basher is probably jerking off in the corner of his bedroom to Teletubbies right now.
unlike you who what’s The Justice League?
You do have a point about the attitude to women shown by some of the posters on this site. There’s “God”, screaming about raping people’s wives. There was “Ted Danson”, threatening to kill people’s mothers. Then there was Steve Lam, with his weird obsession with “Paris Hilton / Britney Spears-looking women” and how they were lesser beings for not sharing his fashion and music tastes.
Yep, we’ve had some pretty nasty misogynistic attitudes from the hipster defenders on here over the years. Try again, concern troll.
Yo Jack, have your finger out of your FTF butt yet? Oh, that’s right, It’s in your mouth now. Nice.
What is it with all this extremely graphic, warped sexual imagery you keep bringing up? I’m not sure I want to know where it all comes from.
Amateur psychiatrist, here… Gary, this is the second time you mentioned fingers being in butts. Tell me about your childhood….
Calling a SPECIFIC vapid twat a “dumb cunt” is woman bashing? So, when I tell hipster
“males” like yourself to get raped and die, and I also a “male basher”? Get raped and die.
*correction*
. . .get raped and die, (and let’s face it hipsters are often so repulsive, even a prison rapist would probably avoid them) am I also a “male basher”. . .
Yes,yes, we’ve all seen the Bill Brasky skit on SNL. TRY to make up your own jokes!
Woman basher? I’m a woman and I’d love to punch moronic victimization enablers like you in the face a few times. When you call other people names like “loser,” you can expect to be called names in return. Being female doesn’t excuse you from cause and effect.
Keep your nose out of my soul, you meddling little rabbit turd!
Meddling Little Rabbit Turd….sounds like your BF FaceTheFacts.
When did he or any member use that specific phrase? That’s mine and I will brook no babbling on provenance! Please, then, explain your reasoning or are you just going to call us “fags” again?
I hope you get punched in your throat and jacked for your iPhone.
Nope. John Lydon had it right.
“Anger is an energy”
It all depends on what you are angry about. The Catholic Encyclopedia says: “[Anger is] the desire of vengeance. Its ethical rating depends upon the quality of the vengeance and the quantity of the passion. When these are in conformity with the prescriptions of balanced reason, anger is not a sin. It is rather a praiseworthy thing and justifiable with a proper zeal. It becomes sinful when it is sought to wreak vengeance upon one who has not deserved it, or to a greater extent than it has been deserved, or in conflict with the dispositions of law, or from an improper motive.”
Makes sense to me…
DH, guess you are Gen X like me. Hey, not all of us are perpetual toddlers, though. LOL.
Why oh why did I go to greenpointers.com.. My mind is now forever scared withe the horror. ART FASHION(which is art) ART MUSIC AND BANGS
I think Jennifer got more hits from us than we did from her and her other sockpuppets,
Fauxhemian Rapsody: Joe and Jen moderating comments on their precious SCENEPOINTERS, then spewing forth their hate on DH, welcome to free speech.

Uhhh, the owner of this site is hiding. Until he comes out, shut your F’n mouth.
He isn’t hiding, he’s on a covert mission!
Like your BF FaceTheFacts is on in your pants?
Really, Gary, this is the level of your insult ability? A third grade tier “you’re a fag” response instead of arguing on merit or exchanging views. This is why we post here.
You are the equivalent of the little brat next door who sticks his head in the window and yells “POOPY HEAD!”
Right I know. How can you do this and maintain attention. Fucking kickball? That is for challenged children. It is bewildering. The way I see it is that there are sheep and wolves and you know what I mean.
Maybe they should stick to parent-supervised Twister on Bedford Avenue in Nieuw Williamsburg.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/46896052@N00/7387555672/
This is the first time I’ve seen this where the legs are whiter than the Twister board. While their parents are here from Ohio to see how their money is being wasted, they might wanna suggest a little more sunlight. I know that tone makes them blend over at Union Pool, but it’s pretty repulsive for the rest of us to have to see.
And off to the left, ladies and gents is a guy with an i-Phone documenting all the zaniness.
whooda thunk?
Damn UI, I really feel for you. Come down to still normal Brooklyn this weekend where only the children dress up in costumes and normal people walk the street for a once a YEAR event. God knows you’ve earned it!
Thanks, Bitterchick! It’s hell. Being a native in this bullshit neighborhood is definitely taking its toll.
Just looking UI’s pictures, all I can see is doughy bodies and loser smiles.
Does any hipster have a physique?
Is there even one hipster male with muscles anywhere?
Is there even one hipster female with a great figure?
I just see pizza dough dressed in Little House on the Prairie dresses or baggy shorts. Nothing even remotely appetizing.
That and the no-talent art is just disgusting. I really hope their stupid parents get thrown out of their houses and starve in their old age for giving all their retirement funds to 37yo Caleb so he can shave his legs, discover his creativity and start a jug band.
Right… I can honestly say I have never had the desire to play kickball beyond age 12 or so. I understand that some people have wealthy parents and don’t have to work. That’s fine, I don’t hate them for that. Honestly I don’t think many people — myself included — would work if they didn’t need to. And I probably wouldn’t be volunteering every day at a soup kitchen, either.
But I wouldn’t be playing kickball, and I DEFINITELY wouldn’t be playing kickball with fucking candyraver glowsticks around my neck, taking pictures to post on some bullshit hipster blog. Here’s a few things I might be doing:
- chilling out in the country, not in a filthy walkup in Brooklyn
- going to the opera
- learning a foreign language
- playing with my kids
- going to church to thank God for my good fortune
These are the sort of things that adults of the leisure class do. To me, they all seem much more interesting and fulfilling than playing kickball (unless maybe I’m playing with my kids). I guess people have different tastes.
I still say Duck Duck Goose should be the ultimate rilly kewel game of choice for the thick-glasses-and-beards-on-sticks and canklesaurs. It’s way better than kickball, which is so lame. With Duck Duck Goose you don’t even need a ball and the rules are so much simpler. There’s almost no need need to think at all, so hipsters can spend more time concentrating on how kewel, unique and cultured they are.
More like Duck Duck Douche. And mmmmm I love the smell of butthurt on a Friday. Great way to start my weekend.
Arty The Seal just looked at that site – guess what he had to say?
We should play it like DeNiro did in “The untouchables” – with a baseball bat.
“duck..duck…BAM! *thunk*
Or we could introduce them to the old scool game of Asses Up. Run around hitting them with in their barely existent asses with “spaldeens” and when they start whining we should tell them we’re just having fun! We could go into Williambushiepointe and relive our childhood games! Welcome to Brooklyn Bitches!
Two words: Buck-Buck!
Yup!!
Ring-o-leevio! Hot peas and butter!
Stoop
Ball. We can rack up points by hitting the locusts gathering instead of by which step you hit; )
Buck-Buck….that should sound familiar to you
.
Shhhh! Grown ups are speaking!
We used to call it “donkey”. but yeah. We should play it with Bocce balls – or those cast iron orbs found on the newel posts of stoops.
Yeah, No one wins unless the team wins!
Except if at that table were hipsters, he’d need a whole team of baseball players.
..and the bat would have to be made of reclaimed lumber and handcrafted by a Brooklyn-based artisan.
If Al Capone were around today he’d make a great motivational speaker.
Don’t forget the kidults have “Field trips” too!
Field Trip day Greenpoint, Meet @ Transmitter Park, 2pm, FREE, Explore until 6pm, learn to tie nautical knots, launch miniature boats on Newtown Creek, solve the riddle of the two-faced jewelers clock…………….
Field trips, solve riddles, toy boats in toxic creeks. Fucking kidults!
This must be why so many of them look like Shaggy
They have a website for this: http://www.fieldtripday.com/new-york/
It says “Discover where colored pencils came from, get up close and personal with one of the most polluted waterways in the US…” What this mean? Are they going to go swimming?
If there is any doubt as to the inspiration: Under details: “Just like in grade school, Field Trips are best with buddies – so grab your friends and sign up as a team.”
Field trips?
Just when I thought they couldn’t be more 1980′s elementary school….
Why risk tetanus, gonorrhea, radiation poisoning, cholera or whatever else is floating around in the Gowanus? People all over the world have been sailing model boats aeons before the first hipsters ever invaded Nieuw Breukelen.
Hipster performance artists did NOT invent radio controlled model boats!!!!
Here’s a place for model boats that’s like, so like rilly obscure and it’s been going on forever: http://www.centralparknyc.org/visit/things-to-do/sports/model-sail-boating.html
We do not need hipster “awareness” of Gowanus pollution. The fact that it’s a Superfund site and the stench means lots people are already “aware” of it, and have been for a long, long time. Since hipsters have only just “discovered” it, they’re late, as usual. Yes Performance Art dumbasses, people are working on cleaning it up, too, no thanks to you. http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/d0cf6618525a9efb85257359003fb69d/3222c756bec74a098525797a00611453!opendocument

UH OH…D.C. IS NOT HIP….
“The metro: Too clean, too little. The metro runs on a schedule convenient to commuters. It works like a dream during the hours of 7-10 a.m., and 5-8 p.m. Monday-Friday.” Bullshit! http://unsuckdcmetro.blogspot.com/
But most of DC knows it isn’t hip. Just ask the Obamas and others of the national political ilk. Oops…
Interesting story about demographics – the hipsters have dispersed African-Americans from inner NE out to “The Numbers” – outer NE Portland, especially east of 82nd Avenue (which to hipsters, might as well be Gresham!).
Currently, they’re setting their sights on two neighborhoods – Cully and St. John’s. Cully is the neighborhood east of Alberta Street (fortunately, the hipster flood doesn’t go east of 42nd Avenue….yet). Articles on Cully gentrification: http://portlandtribune.com/pt/9-news/115800-cully-builds-on-diversity-community
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2012/08/gentrification_displacement_bi.html
Currently, Cully is a mix of lower-middle-class Anglos and a Mexican community along Killingsworth in the 50s and 60s. (Mexicans – the little secret behind all the hipster restaurants – Josh and Caleb aren’t working in the kitchen!)
St. John’s is at a good stasis – shops that are local, but not trendy, along with restaurants and bars from dives to slightly upscale, with both a Safeway and a vegan store, a farmer’s market that doesn’t overcharge, a cheap farm stand nearby (Kruger’s), and new businesses on the outskirts (Grocery Outlet, Dollar Tree, Ace Hardware) fulfilling needs.
Eh, you dudes are delusional and pretty much pathetic, but so what. You’re hardly without company on the internet. I will say taking pictures of random people on the subway/street and then posting them on your anonymous blog is some cowardly shit. No two ways about it.
And what difference would it make if the blog wasn’t anonymous? What would a guy who plays glow-in-the-dark kickball in a hipster area be likely to do about it?
Nothing, I guess. It’s just a cowardly move.
Ultimately, you people are dopes. All this “look at me” bullshit. Newsflash geniuses, EVERY culture has an element of that. The guidos with the spray tans and spiked hair aren’t “Look at me.”? The hip-hop bling guys are attention seeking? The bikers with the leather and tats aren’t trying pretty damn hard? Etc., etc., etc.
Al.ll this shit is hilarious. You dudes are like the OWS kids. Bottom line it’s a free country and money talks and bullshit walks. Deal with it or bitch. You guys have chosen the bitch route. Like I said, you’re all pretty much pathetic.
Couldn’t have said it better. These guys are just getting left behind. New groups overtaking blocks, neighborhoods, countries…that’s life. It’s the weak that bitch and complain and are ultimately exterminated.
What great progressive values you espouse.
Now run off to your tricycle race, Tryhard Ned.
You need to learn a little sociology, Ned. Certain people within certain groups certainly do exhibit a “look at me” persona — and they do so to say “F.U.!” to the repression they (and/or their relatives) endured. Your so-called “hip-hop bling guys” are a perfect example. And guidos are holding on to a “hyper-Italian” look created by Italians in the U.S. to say “F.U.” to those that hated on them (check the history of Italians in America). Some gays are “look at me” types for the same reason. (As for bikers, I don’t get that whole look. So I’m with you there!)
But hipsters? Where is their repression? Why exactly do a bunch of (typically) white, able adults from financially stable families need to call attention to themselves with their “look at me” ways? That’s why so many people can’t stand hipsters.
Ned says
BLAH blah blah blah blah blah
Ok. Much has been made of me referring to Jennifer, the hiptard sympathizer and wannabe, as a vulgar term used to describe female genitalia. I’ll admit, I was definitely more over the top than usual. Even DH was quite civil with you, and in hindsight I should have done the same. DON’T GET IT TWISTED, I’m not backing off with anything I said. The truth is the truth! Whether it’s worded nicely or expressed in the most brutal manner, still inflicts serious butthurt on hipsters and their apologists.
If you spout the crap that DH accused you of, then you’re all of those things I’ve called you and more. What you’re doing is the equivalent of me claiming to be anti-racist while I kick it with nothing but organized racists. You’re what is called ‘disingenuous’. I can’t stand people like that. My contempt for disingenuity is all but limitless. I have no reason to doubt DH as his track record in terms of honesty far outshines that of any butthurt hipster (or wannabe) who has posted here.
Please get off your high horse you self-righteous PC dishrag. Please miss me with “I’m every woman” Oprah crap. I can see why you kick it with hipsters since they’re the only ones who can put up with your sanctimonious BS.
To the women of DH, if I have offended any of you, then I do apologize.
To any offended she-hipster dishrag with bedbugs nesting in her cooze, stay butthurt.
You’re a ridiculous moron who rants on the internet. “Hiptards, “butt-hurt” etc. I really hope you’re young, and there is still time for you to do something more productive with your time other than posts insane half-baked theories and try to pass them off as fact with shit-kicking colloquialisms. You’re a sad little man. Why don’t you go box Jennifer’s brother anonymous tough guy?
Because I’d feel bad when he cried.
Could your butthurt not be anymore evident? Your reaction actually lends credence to my “half-baked theories”. If ‘half-baked’ means ‘hit way too close to home’, then for once in your life, you’re actually right about something. Get raped and die from the blood loss.
Oh, Ned and one more thing .. . Take Joe’s dick out of your mouth.
sad little man
Sad little man, mad little man whatever. At least I can call myself a “man”. You could do the same, but it would probably evoke laughter if said in the presence of others.
You’re not ranting on the Internet. So you’re saved.
FaceTheFacts would but Mommy downstairs is making his favorite food, Hot Pockets. Maybe afterwards he’ll come back upstairs and play Tough Guy, women-bashing role in between jerking off to his favorite Teletubbies videos and playing with Zeena, his #1 plastic doll of the week.
gary, kev, Northside Ned, Die Hipster Robots, (and I’ve probably skipped a few) = Steve Lam = Trey Parasucko, 35yo transsexual, Asian vampire, heir to a penis-pill empire (if the Chinese army doesn’t shut it down first) who jerks off to Twilight and fantasizes about Fifty Shades of Grey when nobody’s looking.
HERRO STEVIE!!!!
you guys really need this huh?
You hipsters are literally interchangeable in due to your individual and collective worthlessness.
I love the glow necklaces! Really! Now iphone starved muggers can pick out their prey easier! Imagine hearing hipsters lament, “Shit, that was our best pitcher! Now what?”

Channeling Russell Edgington, Kickball is for PUSSIES!
…and for fourth graders when recess is rained out.
Now that Mothah has called the Greenpoint kids in for supper, shocking developments await inquiring minds:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/27/business/media/build-a-bear-adds-a-technology-factor.html?WT.mc_id=BU-D-I-NYT-MOD-MOD-M272a-ROS-0912-PH&WT.mc_ev=click&WT.mc_c=195849
Even more shocking developments. Gender roles are sooooooo last millennium.
Excuse me while I puke.
“Concept stores”? “Staying relevant”? Can’t kids just fucking play with a stuffed animal anymore? The yups deserve for their kids to get bullied in school.
That’s the double jeopardy for the rest of us: they raise the rents, displacing normal people, their kids need a “concept store” in which to play, then those kids grow up to be bullied in school and the property taxes go up to pay for all the anti-bullying initiatives and personnel in schools.
FUCK THE CHILDREN! George, we do miss you so.
This never gets old.
My hero. There will never be another one like him!
^^This. This is the whole problem. Carlin was more than a comedian, he was a philosopher. And if you watch his 1999 HBO special, he was a prophet of sorts, too.
Can you chill out with the cunt thing ? It’s really not sounding too good. Make fun of her site and logic. No need to sound like a chauvinist.
Sorry. It put it in there automatically in the other comments after the first one. Didn’t think to change it. IF you have the ability to edit, feel free to change it to Fred.
Well look on the bright side. if kids are raised in a gender neutral environment and get smacked around by a bullymight just asked the bully out on a date.
My boy is 9. He knows to walk away from insults, troublemakers and trash talkers. But he also knows that he has our seal of approval to flatten anyone who lays a hand on him.
he also knows the dire consequences of starting a fight and that the school will come down on him for defending himself.
That’s what worries me. these hiptards are raising a nation of hamsters.
Speaking of gender neutral, Stevie has a new band.
Drove by there early this morning. The lights were blazing like Times Square. Holy shit, it was blinding. I feel sorry for the people who live on the block across the street.
I don’t call women I don’t like “c–ts” because the word implies depth and warmth.
IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER EPISODE OF MUTUAL OF OMAHA’S WILD KINGDOM.
LOCATION: undisclosed urban park in Toronto, Can. Medium shot of Marlin Perkins flanked by Stan Brock.
PERKINS: “We’re here in Toronto to narrow our focus in our continued study of the Urban Hipster.
Locals have reported sightings of a particularly scrawny specimen of the hipster allegedly attacking
park patrons with sock puppets. Like the fabled Nessie of sea monster fame, our subject has gained a nickname: Lammy. This urban legend is described as “unusually under-sized for the breed with unusual coloring and eye configuration, sporting gaudy sock puppets on it’s front paws.”
STAN: “That’s right, Marlin, for some reason these creatures gather the things people have cast off and carry them around displaying them to others in the herd in a hierarchical ritual. Apparently the hipster with the oldest item gains status and becomes the so called “Alpha-beta male” earning breeding rights to the harem of females and preferential seating in wifi hot spots.”
PERKINS: “Well, Stan, they have to settle ranking disputes this way, they’re far too delicate to
engage in combat, even with each other. Nature provides a way to keep the males alive long enough to breed, otherwise the species would have died off!”
STAN: “Something far too many people would like to see, Marlin. There is a large, grassroots movement to irradicate these natural woodland creatures due to their influx to the urban landscape because of habitat loss. That’s why it’s so important to naturalists that we study these gentle woodland creatures before hunting wipes them off the face of the earth.”
PERKINS: “Right, Stan, there have been no credible reports of hipsters actually physically harming a human, even when a human child steals their beloved fetish items they bleat nasally and aggressively display but run squealing at the first sign of real combat.”
PERKINS: “We’ve set up our blind on the edge of the tree line by this meadow. Lammy has been reported in this park the past few days and we stand a good chance of getting some footage of our subject.”
STAN: “Marlin, look there, by that bush, I think that’s our target!”
MEADOW: A small slim figure crouches in the shadow of the foliage, long, grubby sock puppets dangle from it’s front paws. Spying something, it rises and moves a few steps into the open.
Suddenly, Stan shifts his foot stepping on a twig which gives a sharp crack. Lammy startles, looks in the camera’s direction then bolts away bleating in the characteristic nasal tones of the hipster, sockpuppets flapping as he bounds along spastically into the underbrush.
STAN: “DARN! I’m sorry, Marlin, I’ve spooked him!”
PERKINS: “Don’t beat yourself up Stan, hipsters are extraordinarily skittish. Even the most skilled woodsman has trouble stalking them. At least we got some fine footage, the first confirmed sighting of Lammy, the Toronto Smallfoot!”
PERKINS VOICEOVER: “And there you have it, folks, the first footage of Lammy, I hope we can soon bring you more on MUTUAL OF OMAHA’S WILD KINGDOM.”
I’m very disappointed that you made me laugh and failed to offend me. I will be reporting you to the Censorship Authorities as soon as I’ve finished drinking my almond milk.
You know, one day you’re going to make someone feel bad because of your words. That is unacceptable. You’re mean and you should be made to go away where mean people go.
Already there, and that place is Diehipster!
Holy Crap! You need to write a book of short stories. Hahahaha!
Thank you m’dear! So glad my poor efforts are appreciated, and short stories are a good idea. But I’m thinking of an epic crime novel: “The Silencing of the Lam.”
Any more room on this post? I like the spirit here, in a way (aside from the hate), something like a labor-party-esque zeal to create an identity by rejecting the bourgeoisie values. Something familiar about it, but definitely unique to our times, which is why so many people are talking about it, I think.
Unrelated, but this post got as many or more comments than alot of bloggers who make a living off of their online business usually get on their own posts. So hipster is a very provoking word.
There is a lot of energy being put into this anti-hipster movement, much maybe as there is being put into “looking a certain way”, otherwise being associated as hipster-ism.
And maybe dressing like a dad from the 60′s helps free that inner child in a person. but here the photo above I think is just a few people riding the giant wave of cultural emigration to new york and who settled in brooklyn, and are trying to have fun. yet they represent the gentrification of brooklyn, so it’s easy to demonize them just like white flight in the 50′s & 60′s was a sort of de facto racism that now seems really shameful and pathetic.
The problem as I see it isn’t with hipsters. People might respect them more if they just admitted “Yes, I care how I look and about what I eat, perhaps to an excessive extent but why do you care?” and organized themselves into a positive force of social change. Nor is the problem with people who mock / hate hipsters. Anger and insecurity can be great driving forces to achieve something. (so can oppression). But the problem I see is that we care so much about the ‘other’.
we spend time worrying about what the ‘other’ thinks about us, about who we are or about our lifestyle choices. there’s those who participate in a vaguely hipster lifestyle & aesthetic and those who hate this movement and it’s representation. yet both sides would deny caring about the other because that threatens their identification as NOT the other. why are we like this?
is it maybe too revealing of how babyish we are about our precious identities?
hipsters are in a way the perfect commercial for modern capitalism, having manicured every part of their choice-making and wearing it on their sleeves, so to speak. and those who wear their hatred on their sleeve for hipsters are the perfect example of actual modern capitalism.
this manicured display of belief in one’s self and one’s personal style that has the added impact of exclusivity (too cool for school), vs. the outrage at the elitism and cringing at a false sense of individuality perceived by the haters of such a vain gestalt of personal choice. we are two sides of the same coin.
It’s a real shared anxiety we’re victims of, believing a certain kind of person carries a certain threatening aspect to our own lifestyle. the fear of the ‘other’. not a fear of them, but of what they think about us and our choices. we’re still pacified despite our ability to have an opinion.
Google “RSA animate choice”
Is this your latest screed Stevie?
So Josh – you took 10 paragraphs to say we’re all different and some of us might be annoyed/entertained by adult toddler behavior?
omg…you don’t see your ownn arrogance, do you? the wild assumptions nade in your post that critiques by DH posters are based in “fear”; and “insecurity”?
talk about people who “don;t get it” !!! LMAO
Shaddup pipsqueak.
bite me.
http://www.thehipstermom.com/ is even worse
From the same website,

Pre-made meals. 69.95 for three dinners. Consultations. Menu approvals. WTF!?!? REALLY? Are these people eating or negotiating a hostage release/ If you have THIS much time to plan and consult then shouldn’t you be cooking?
Oh and wait for the photo of smiling beardo Josh at the top.
Another Masturbation Bros type setup here. Somebody found the 983,723,632th creative way of separating hipsters from their money.
P.T. Barnum award coming up.
Weight Watchers for hipsters. Wonder if they accept food stamps?
I hereby nominate George Carlin as the first Posthumous Diehipster! I sincerely believe that had he lived long enough he would have appreciated the humor on this site and contributed himself. How do I know? Lines of his like “mindless, soulless yuppie faggot” would be the indicator. He bashed them before it was hip and got paid for doing it!
George Carlin was a legend and god of intelectual comedy. He always spoke the truth about how the real world worked.
My favorite: Soft Language. Explains this fucking generation perfectly.
This is probably Pat I’s favorite considering all his previous stories:
Squeezy just might be Carlin’s replacement. LOL!
Whew!
Glad that’s over – next!
I too am overjoyed to see the ass end of your posts.
Notuce how Jen conveniently ignores the post calling her out for being racist because she refers to Italians as Guidos. Typical hipster behavior . Didnt she once compare readers to Nazis when they disagreed with her view on art? Pathetic and disgusting.
Yes, how dare people like things like art, music and culture and having fun, what do they think this is? They should be doing drugs and chain-smoking in non-smoking places or in violent gangs or stop existing once they leave work for the day. Oh wait, no.
I don’t get it.
this is the kind of comments your readers write to me and use your website as the URL – you should be proud to have this kind of person represent you:

You’re a dumb cunt.
End of story.
DH is the gospel, you are the children of the anti-christ’s corn fields. You’re locusts, consuming wherever you go. Everything and everyone a mirror for yourselves. You dress your hate and cynacism up in phoney platitudes about ‘nice’ness, but you will be first at the foot of the cross screaming,”Crucify!! Crucify!!”. You can’t imagine it now but if you looked with a more critical eye at your ‘young people’s outputs, you’d see it as clearly as anyone else does.
BTW, when did THIRTY YEAR OLDS become ‘young people’?!!! Woman, that’s almost middle-aged!! It’s ABSURD to refer to a 35 year old male or female as ‘young people’. Geezus…you even consume the youth of the TRULY young – the children – like energy vampires. You just can’t get out of your own way or the way of real young people. Hate to tell you this, but the teenagers out here think ADULTS playing KICKBALL with glowsticks are FUCKING RETARDED. Stop co-opting the period of life that no longer belongs to you and that you are clearly so terrified to move on from.
Looking at you from ANY direction…you’re disgusting.
and that IP is address is from NORTH CAROLINA.
That’s where their POP is registered, not where they’re actually located; look it up. You really *ARE* as dumb as they say…
when it comes to POP server stuff – i am dumb. didn’t meant to post the actual IP. it’s up to diehipster to moderate comments…
Nobody cares what you think.
Now go get your shine box.
Hey I can’t stop people from writing things on the Internet. I myself do not degrade women – I may occasionally call a female hipster a dumb or smug or pretentious bitch if she really deserves it, but I try to avoid it. Hey I even defended you yesterday when someone once again called you a cunt. I’m sure you are a good/pleasant person however when I picture some carbon copied transient hipster reading your site to find out how he can find a bar full of fauxhemians that has a special – $1 off of an $8 craft ale – so he can talk about bullshit art and music and literature or of you post about kayaking in a toxic canal it’s really all anti Brooklyn to me. Your site pretty much bypasses 90% of what Brooklyn is about; just like all hipster promoting blogs. But I guess I can’t blame you too much because if you wrote about pierogies, Irish bars, Spanish and Italian culture then your Molly and Josh audience would disappear. Have a nice day.
thanks for defending me my pro-brooklyn hero!
Just one capital letter…. just one…. pretty please….??
I am really glad that this is drawing attention to how unfunny the commenters have become on this site. I still enjoy the actual material though. Where is Park Slope = Yuppie Toilet when you need him?
“No, ’tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door; but ’tis enough,’twill serve: ask for me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man. I am peppered, I warrant, for this world. ” *death rattle*
Wow. Just wow. Lady, did you just post someone’s IP and email address? You are begging for trollery. Much lulz soon to be had. Hang on tight, sister.
my bad on the IP – up to this blogger to moderate. as far as the email – none of the cowards who write the hate speech ever reveal their REAL email address anyway.
Oh my, it looks like the Gay Nigger Association of America is here. lol
Let’s see, you come to a site where you know you are hated and reviled and complain about being hated and reviled. You didn’t have to since our members commented directly to your site where they were promptly censored. You have never been censored here and neither has anyone else. Want to speak your mind? Come here. Want to have a muzzle slapped on your mouth? Go to Jennifer’s.
“WAAAAAHHHH! Daddy, make them STAAAAPPP! Every time I butt into their conversation and call them criminals and mental defectives they say mean things about me!”
Greenpointers has become a barren wasteland. It used to be a decent site run by a friendly local who lived here since pre-hipster times. Then Jen bought it, and it quickly became what it is. I literally shake my head every time I go there.
This site is hilarious. Wouldn’t even have known about it if not for her many references to this conflict. Thanks Jen!
Nobody in Greenpoint is surprised at how poorly she’s handling this, btw. Her comment about loving the old Puerto Rican ladies was the subject of a mocking email chain between myself and a bunch of other locals. All of her comments, really. So little self-awareness.
To think I never stumbled upon your blog, I appreciate your insight. I was brought her by the woman who runs the Greenpointers Blog and couldn’t agree more. I don’t quite understand how a “hipster” can move into a neighborhood and then lead a blog about a neighborhood they know nothing about. Her inexperience is a glaring fault in that blog. Eh, what can you do.
Wow, incredible weblog structure! How lengthy have you been running a blog for?
you made blogging look easy. The total glance of your web site is excellent, let alone the content!
I love this site!
