Bushwick inspired style!

LOL! There’s a new fashion line by a gritty urban designer “from” the gritty urban streets of Bushwick; inspired by the names of the streets in Bushwick, and BushwickDaily.com approves! Yes, check out the Michael Wright Collection if you want to look like a punchable beardo who weaves baskets in gentrification cafes. Just look at those photos taken in front of rusty fences and graffiti - like yaaaah, so urban it hurts. Look at this vest (for only $45.00!!!) that looks like a 5 year old cut it with safety scissors. And seriously, if your arms are as thin as a line of spray paint, it’s time to eat a few hamburgers there Joshy boy. It’s really so sad that these white picket fence, cul-de-sacian nobodies are trying to turn Brooklyn into SOHO. Get the fuck out of here already – your try-hard bullshit is embarrassing.

    Why is it that drive-bys never take place when they do one of these photo shoots? It’s not fair, I tell you..

    I’ve been saying hipsters=hippies all along.

    Look at this charlie manson douche. Will you people believe me now???

    • Midwest Hipster Remediation LLC says:

      Look, I hate hippies with a passion, but to say they are = is a stretch. Hipsters are 10x worse. Hippies don’t have money and thus they don’t drive up prices and because they don’t have money, hippies don’t buy 20 year old used clothes for 20x their original retail price.

      • I don’t know, sometimes it can be hard to separate the two. In the Northwest, especially in places like Eugene and Portland, OR, there’s quite a lot of overlap. Like hipsters, hippies also eat expensive organic food unaffordable for most people, smell like BO and patchouli and preach to everyone about the superior virtues of their lifestyle.

      • jack sprat says:

        Midwest, what gives you the idea that the original hippies had no money?

        It was the same annoying upper middle class kids taking a playcation between college and careers. Watch the Isle of Wight concert documentary some time. Hipsters in 1969. Even the same whiny nasal voices.

        All hipsters are is hippies with internet connections to spread their ironic memes. Remember Captain America and Billy in “Easy Rider”? Hipsters.

        • Rivi says:

          It’s so easy to be a full time “artist”, quirky kidult, leisure class fauxhemian when you can always fall back on parental subsidies and trust funds. Both worthless groups of whitebread, upper middle class, interloping organic shit stains who pollute our neighborhoods can fucking die. Hippies, Hipsters, Yuppies,,,,, what ever you wanna call em all possess the same entitled, pompous, disrespectful douchebag attitudes. They all can fucking rot.

        • fugster says:

          Captain America and Billy were actually victims of the first recorded hipster beatdown. Watch what happens when they meet some locals down south.

        • reystjohn says:

          Captain America was a hipster… Billy was the real deal. Shit, no way Dennis Hopper was a hipster. C’mon. That guy was certifiably insane. Show some respect.

        • Al JaDe (@aljade82) says:

          I agree… A lot of the same complaints made about hipsters today, we were making about the “hippies” in Eugene when I was growing up: They stank; they were self-righteous; they looked stupid; they shopped at expensive organic food stores nobody else could afford and said everyone else should do the same; they constantly demanded attention. In many cases, they even looked the same as the hipsters today.

          • jack sprat says:

            I defy anyone to watch the little homily about “being nicer” that occurs at minute mark 1:30 of this video, and tell me that the stoned, overly nice, earth-ball playing, love-is-all-you-need hippies are not the direct ancestors of hipsterism.

      • 4finger Riff says:

        Hippies sell their 40yr old torn, filthy bell bottoms to hipsters for $500 and up.

  5. ExpatinHK says:

    Gentrification anywhere sucks. It’s the same type of beardo twat waffle expat that moves into an authentic culturally interesting “nabe” of ethnic minorites (this time ethnic majority) and brings with them same boring arsed culturally bland Euroamericanocrappacorp that is literally destroying the soul of the world. And the past few years I have seen my cool formerly reasonably priced somewhat eclectic neighborhood in Hong Kong (not saying where cause I refuse to welcome any more scarf wearing in the summertime, skinny jean panted hetero folks) turn into the “IT” ville. The reason real working artists and interior designers, Dragon Air pilots, and flight attendants, junior bankers, casket makers, antique dealers, moved here in the first place was cause of CHEAPer rent than the God forsaken blander than bland Midlevels. We embraced the cultural diversity and learned the language and appreciate the folks and their culture who have been here forever and a day and welcomed us and our business. But in three very short effing years, the posuer posse has low and behold discovered this part of Hong Kong and vomited up within a 10 minute radius 6 cupcake shops, 18 coffee shops with 45hkd lattes, 2 Agnes Bs, 9 french cafes, dozens of useless clothing apparel stores, and a shite ton of storefronts that make u wonder how in the world they afford the new rents without being triad sponsored.

    Oh, and here’s a pic from around the corner. Somehow I doubt the twat waffle who sprayed the wall was being ironic.

  6. Mickey Shea says:

    Was walking down Bedbug Ave midnight on Saturday night, there was a beardo wearing a woman’s mink coat that was too small for him with two-tone saddle shoes and lemon yellow pants.
    Also a skinny blipster wearing a tan suit that was way too tiny for him, no socks and the pants were literally six inches too short…looking like a black Pee-Wee Herman on his big adventure….
    Fucking freaks.

  7. Whitesuburbanpunk says:

    “So urban it hurts” LOL ! Truly painful, and way too much encouragment out there to celebrate these ass rags as clothing or anything resembling art. This is why every kid in the class should NOT get a prize.

  8. k says:

    Urban my ass, fucking posers! The only sleeveless vests ever urban up in Bushwick were worn by the savage skullls.

  9. Tony says:

    Pussy asses, the lot of you.

      • linguini leg cracker says:

        “SJP” as you trendies like to call her, has been blamed numerous times, and I think rightly so, for glorifying the NYC lifestyle and making it the dream of young cankle-queens-to-be to move to “the city” and act like spoiled pretentious bitches. When they arrive and realize they can’t make it on Manhattan they move to “Billy” and “The Schwick” and act like artistic spolied pretentious bitches.
        End of story.

      It’s got a nice picture of Hipster Jesus right on top.

      • FUWI says:

        Why do these dumbass, non-researching, pretend-journalists-who-are-actually-just-stenographers, always toss in the words ‘young people’? I’d say AT LEAST half of the hipfards I see are in their late 30′s and into their 40′s. I’ve even run across hipsters in their 50′s. Which makes me think they are crossing generational bounds for the sole purpose of spreading their “Watch Me Eat Vegetables” mentalities. Besides, when one says ‘the young’, one is patently being lazy and attempting to belittle people for the the wrong thing. Age isn’t something you can earn. “Good breeding”, economics, physical and intellgectual vigor, and pure grit do NOT earn you one tick of the clock in either direction. It makes sense, to me, to go after the lifestyle or ethics systems, but not the age for the mere fact the hipster mindset bleeds through varying age groups.

        • sledgehammer says:

          They always resort to the old vs. young argument, thinking that is a viable defense. It isn’t about age at all. It’s the sense of entitlement those hipster fucks grew up with and still expect to be given. They expect everything to be handed to them, because that’s mommy and daddy did and now that they’re supposedly “adults” they still think the world is going to stop for them. Caprice is a case in point, and she is 31!

          There are so many hipsters pushing 40 now. Pushing 40 and still doing the look-at-meeeee-I’m-kewler-than-you shit they were doing in high school. It’s pathetic. Look at some of those stroller daddy mommy food co-op nazis. They are not in their 20s, and the ones that are look really busted.

  13. jimmydareshipsters says:

    Got a real hipster winner here. First she names her place Wildflour Artisan Bakery & Café. I kid you not. And then she invites a bunch of hipster bands to play copyrighted music. She is then shocked when the right holders come and ask for payment. Seriously, only a hipster could start a business without knowing the rules and then be offended when the grown ups show up. “But mommy said I was a precious little snowflake mean business type person. We are just doing art!!!”

  14. JAZ says:

    I don’t know how anyone could resist putting a fist through the head of that fuck. Just looking at that 2nd picture makes me fucking furious. What an insult to everyone who actually grew up in Bushwick when the mere mention of Troutman or Gates Ave would have these children of the corn shaking all the way back in Iowa. Now every Harrison, Hayden, Harper, Parker and Foster is playing kidult urban wannabe dressup.

    It’s just an endless stream of out of place pussies fetishizing grittiness by creating a safe (gentrified neighborhood) version of the working class urban upbringing that would have fucking eaten them alive.

    • Joe Fliel says:

      A friend of mine, who lived in 323 Troutman St., used to fuck with the early infesting transplants. One day, he was sitting on the stoop and a Mr. Salty-physiqued voidoid, with a Jimmy Neutron haircut and wearing Clark Kents with no lenses, walked up to him with a couple of other ironic concentration camp inmate imitators. He asked my friend, Sammy, if he knows, like, where to score some weed. Sammy looked at them and said, “Wait a minute. I’ll get you some.” He went inside, got a ZipLock bag and filled it up with crushed leaves he picked up in front of the house. They stood there watching him. When he filled the baggy, he asked the fuck how much money he had on him. This loser pulled out the cash from his pocket and started counting it. “Uh, about, like, $47.” Sammy handed him the baggy and said,”Here ya go. Gimme the $47 and we’ll call it even.” The dumb son of a bitch did exactly that and didn’t say shit as he and his friends walked away.

    • Rivi says:

      I would love to see that stupid little faggot vest soaked in that fucker’s blood.

      • Steve D. says:

        …and that’s the kind of shit people say that gets this site a bad reputation. I think this pretentious clothing shit is ridiculous too, but I’m actually wondering if there is true malice behind your typed up pixels. Jesus Christ!

        • Rivi says:

          Couple of teeth knocked out, a nose snapped in two… sounds like the “authentic nitty-gritty Bushwick experience” these flyover fruitcakes are looking for. No? Now take a fucking hike.

  15. Hipster Crippler says:

    The level of self-satisfaction on display makes me thank my mom for letting me learn from my mistakes as a kid. I wanted to stand out in middle school and she said, fine, wear stuff that makes you look ridiculous. Sure enough, I got to school and got clowned on because kids don’t care about social norms. They’ll be brutally honest to your face all day. Adults don’t do that, so hipsters think no one is laughing at them.

  16. Tom Ray says:

    “The Irving Shirt”? Isn’t that the name of the short-sleeved, seersucker that old Jewish guys in South Florida wear with double-knit trousers and white loafers with no socks? the perfect compliment is a big comb-over like Bill Murray wore in Kingpin.

    Hey everyone! it’s The Zander and Molly Doo-dah band!

    And here’s their video:

    http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20121204/upper-west-side/ukelele-rapper-bridges-gap-between-hip-hop-folk

    Gotta love it. A video about the 99% made by pasty white,nasally hayseeds in a loft containing so much music gear I thought I was looking at the old Sam Ash off Times Square.

    Oh and check out the token pseudo-black guy (i’m sure he’s THE black friend that rents himself out to these jokers…btw his name is Marcus and he lives in Queens).

    I’ve been to Quaker meetings that were edgier than this.

  18. Pat I. says:

    OK…so I showed the Bushwick fashion pics to my mom – who used to be a seamstress.
    She took a peek while drying the dishes and said in broken english, “doh-nah make fun. It’s nice-a
    they employ the blind”.

    My father walked by and said – to me- his 50 year old son , “you dressa like dat for the innerview and I keek you hass”.

    Goddamn I love them!

    • Joe Fliel says:

      ‘Atsa my boy!

    • Rivi says:

      “Bushwick resident Michael Wright is a fashion designer who LOVES Bushwick and is not ashamed of it. Quite to the contrary, actually. He created a collection inspirited solely by Buswhick’s gritty nitty streets, graffiti and worn-out look. We dig how he used yarn and the natural materials. The Troutman Collection is men fashion fun only, but every Bushwick lady appreciates an eye candy, am I right?

      We love that the individual pieces of the collection are named after Bushwick streets: The Jefferson Sweatshirt; The Knickerbocker Hoodie; The Wyckoff Tee… The Troutman Collection is priced somewhere between $39 and $148. But I mean, you gotta pay if you want to look Bushwick-cheap…”

      It’s been awhile since I’ve wanted to go on an all out, American whiskey-infused rampage through the streets. Thanks to DH it hasn’t been that long though (not since Caprice). I’m at the point where maybe offering some “freelance jobs” to a few of the good local residents isn’t a bad idea. Bonuses include a new iPhone and ATM and credit cards issued in Iowa under the name Mr. & Mrs. Wright. I would also like to clothe the homeless this winter,,, but even they probably wouldn’t want these “Bushwick-influenced” rags draped over them. I truly hope this pseudo-urban, interloping piece-of-suburban-shit gets trashed in the streets one starry winter night. Thank you God, for hearing my prayers.

        Benefits, paychecks, food on table for a family….Where do you come from that some how you believe that when you reach a certain age you magically are hired to work at a glamorous job?

        A) you are probably a child
        B) you are probably a rich child
        C) you are sheltered
        D) delusional
        E) have no idea what the REAL world is
        F) retarded

        Who is passing judgement here on how people make a living in this day and age?
        These days, folks are lucky to be employed. Are you aware of that? Did it ever cross your mind? Have you seen the REAL unemployment figures? So a truck driver to you is subhuman? Is that it? Ok, ok. I hope you are a child because your reality seems to be in Hanna Montana land or something.

        I ain’t a truck driver or anything but I am an adult living in the REAL world. I guess a middle class world. Not some privileged child with some hook up lined up for me.

      • JC says:

        Shows how much you know about UPS… or the real world for that matter. Drivers make a nice chunk of change which gets better during the holidays. Many are able to retire by by that age or go into upper management at UPS.

        Sounds like you’re jealous of someone bringing in a comfy income because your art isn’t bringing you shit.

  19. Pat I. says:

    Last week my cable wasn’t working and I needed to send out out a bunch of resumes.
    So I headed out to Barnes and Noble. I figured with all the money I spend there and the fact that I’ve never used their wifi, I deserved it.

    I sit down at a table for 4 (the only table available). I buy a coffee and a muffin. I figured I wouldn’t be more than 10 – 20 minutes.
    I turn my computer on and plug into the coveted outlet. Off to the right is a fucking ski-capped crapweasel and his Zooey, both staring at me. They couldn’t have been older than 20.

    I didn’t have my ass in the chair for more than 5 minutes when the #2 Ticonderoga pencil physiqued douchebag walks up to me in a huff and say, “are you gonna be long? I have some important stuff to do and I need a table with an outlet”.

    I look up and say, “I’ll be done in about 15 minutes”.
    AWWWW C’MON MANNNNN!
    Hey! Fuckstick! – I was laid off this month and I need to send out some resumes! People like you come in here suck up bandwidth for hours playing with your toys and paying customers have to walk around with a hot beverage in their hands! Wait your turn!

    Then the girl starts in : BUT IT’S RILLLLLY RILLLY IMPORTANT!!!!

    Uh uh. 15 minutes the more you talk the longer you wait.

    They called the manager on me. And these to overprivileged snot rags whine that I was being mean.

    The manager looked at me and said (this is the third time i heard this) you can’t be rude to NON-PAYING CUSTOMERS!
    Let that sink in for a sec: NON-PAYING CUSTOMERS.

    So this hipster apologist is pleading with me to shar my table.
    I reply, “if what they’re doing is so important…and they haven’t bought a single goddamn thing..why don’t they sit on the FLOOR?

    The manager stares at me.
    “I…I…I…guessss…they could….but can’t you share”?

    NO. I spent 7 bucks in good faith. This is my table…they can wait.

    So Zack and Molly go off in a huff. The manager looked at me as if i had just clubbed a family of baby seals.

    I finish up and walk out.

    and there they are. near the magazines. On the floor. Cords all over the place, head phones on and enough gear to outfit a Best Buy. And people almost tripping over the cords.

    I don’t get these fucking people. Do they live in a vacuum? I’ve seen these douches in zany clothes at corporate events, smiling smugly because they think they’re thumbing their nose at mainstream tastes and standards. But as the evening wears on they wind up looking extremely uncomfortable because they’ve ventured too far out from the bell jar.

      • pat I. says:

        Hey Needy – shut the fuck up and put your finger back in my belt loop, bitch.
        becuse you’ll never be the man your mother is.

      • pat I. says:

        No problem. My UC is maxed out at 611 bucks. I hold two part time jobs – one with a small defense contractor and another making CAD drawing and for a start up furniture maker in Philly. I’m also doing their tooling design and laying out their manufacturing processes and work flow.

        And if working for amazon and delivering the Blue ray Edition of “Eat Pray Spread” to your house, Needy (it’s the one with the red light by the door right? I remember it now. Tell your mom ol’ Skin Bus says “hi”)so be it. because there’s dignity in supporting your family.

        And working for amazon is better than your job – blowing truckers ath the Joyce Kilmer rest stop (BTW – they’re supposed to pay You, not the other way around).

        • MD Burbs says:

          Don’t forget the best part – Ned is on disability and food stamps, and lives in an abandoned shed in the trailer park. He leeches wifi to get Internet. Sure hope the Marshals don’t find him, since he’s also on the run for child molestation.

    • Leroy Jenkem says:

      Sounds about right, because it’s All About Them. God help them if they should, you know, find a plug that isn’t immediately in someone’s way, so other customers will have to pay attention to them as they walk by. (By the way, I’ve had some interesting conversations with B&N employees lately. The grunts on the floor are thoroughly sick and tired of dealing with these leeches, especially since Corporate keeps whining about returns for Christmas and the like. However, the managers are all scared shitless that telling these gutworms to buy something or get out might offend their pwecious widdle sensibilities and cause them to *gasp* leave and never return. The best that I can figure, B&N apparently hired all of the idiot managers previously working at Borders, figuring that they’ll just do the same moronic things Borders did in its last few years and things will turn out differently.)

        • Joe Fliel says:

            What next – a movie theater with toilets for seats and a stack of Penthouse and Road and Track magazines?
            Fuck me. People can’t shut the fuck up in a normal theater so now your gonna introduce food and servers?

            • Joe Fliel says:

              Welcome to Hell Cinema. What? The Mid-Week Matinee/Lunch Special? No problem. That’ll be $57 for one adult and $56.50 for the obnoxious kid. And no doggie bags; so, don’t ask. Enjoy your total cinematic experience.

            • Leroy Jenkem says:

              In its defense, this isn’t anywhere near as bad as it sounds. I mean, yeah, it sounds pretentious as hell, but the food gets served before the movie starts, and then the idea is that you sit down and watch the movie. Alamo Drafthouse has a reputation for not putting up with talking idiots, either on or off a cell phone, and texters are given warning before the movie starts that they’ll be kicked out without refund if they call or text during the film. The original one in Austin even did a great PSA notice about its policies when some UT sorority girl threw a tantrum on their voice mail after getting kicked out for texting. Oh, it started with her rationalizing “I turned on my phone so I could find my seat,” but then it turned into a tirade on how she had the right to text whenever she wanted and how DARE the theater tell her otherwise. That PSA went viral on YouTube about four years back, and the nearly universal response was “If only I could find a movie theater that would enforce that.”

              I’ll also say that for those of us who might actually want to go out for a movie, and I’m not slamming staying home and watching movies at all, this beats all hell out of the alternatives. We’re getting one in Dallas by the beginning of next year, and it already has the hipster shitheads who run the Inwood, our longstanding arthouse theater, shit scared. That’s completely reasonable, as the Alamo will have decent concessions, a blanket ban on talking or texting during the film, decent parking, and a projectionist who won’t bail within the first ten seconds to get stoned in the manager’s office. Oh, and it’ll have a scheduling manager who isn’t obsessed with running “The Room” and “The Goonies” every single fucking week. Once the Alamo goes in, the Inwood is dead unless it changes, and the beardos half-assedly running the place would burn it down themselves rather than change it.

    Last year, 67 percent of P.S. 282′s students were African American, 6 percent were white and 54 percent qualified for free lunch — an anomaly in mostly white, affluent Park Slope. Some local parents embrace the school’s demographics wholeheartedly, while others say it gives them pause.

    P.S. 282 stands in sharp contrast to P.S. 321, just six blocks away, where 72 percent of students in 2011-’12 were white, 10 percent were African American, and 9 percent were eligible for free lunch. P.S. 321, regarded as one of the borough’s best schools, is so crowded with neighborhood families that the Department of Education recently moved to shrink the school’s zone.

    Meanwhile, P.S. 282 suffers from the perception that it doesn’t measure up academically to its neighborhood peers.

    Some say that reputation is undeserved, but it means that few local families are willing to send their kids to P.S. 282. A mere 15 percent of P.S. 282′s pre-K through fifth-grade students actually live in the school’s zone, a desirable section of the North Slope full of multimillion-dollar brownstones.”

      Fuck The Slope and the pretentious scumbags presently infesting the neighborhood. Twenty years ago, you couldn’t get these “Let’s Infuse Park Slope With A Little Wisco Homeyness” shitheads to even walk through the area, let alone live there. These transplanted helicopter parental units fawn over the wonderful, diversity-rich edumakashun their pasty-skinned-because-they-have allergic reactions-to-every-known-normal-consumable-kind-of-foodstuff-so-they-subsist-on-a-zero-protein-organic-weed-diet kids receive at what is “regarded” as one of the borough’s best schools. News Flash, Mr. &Mrs. Wiscofucko: “regarded” means “considered”, which means “thought of” which, in itself, means absolutely nothing. Since public schools are, at the most, mediocre to begin with, being the best mediocre school isn’t something to crow about. My house ape attends a parochial school in Greenpernt which is known as one of the top three schools citywide. The students score higher in all of the state-mandated tests than any school in the borough, public or private. The kids here, and other parochial schools, are, educationally, two years ahead of public school students at the same grade level. But, these fucking deadbeat, high income parents won’t consider enrolling their precious Mini-mes in a private school because public schools are free. Paying tuition would tie up money better spent on important things like $185 Prix Fixe dinners at the Brooklyn Fare Kitchen, or some new tchochkes to impress their equally shallow friends.

      ‘Eat Pray Love’ holy shit don’t get me started. I’m going to write a book ‘Fuck Chuck Drink’. This movie is a great way to learn how NYC yuppie women view themselves. Look at this movie, the main character is a good looking middle-age woman surrounded by these various ugly older women. This how they view themselves, as looking much better somehow then their friends, even though in reality they are as tired used up as they are.. THEN: lets glorify leaving our husband and family, fucking off to Italy to stuff our face, then fuck a slimy Brazilian guy(it’s a ROMANCE), then pronounce yourself holy because you went to some wacky weirdo in Bali who read your palm.

  27. Hey, you might have seen a sale on that wonderful vest; it’s actually $56 (FIFTY SIX AMERICAN DOLLARS) now!

    Look at that fucking stitching around the shield thing on the Irving schmata..aaaAagh!!!! I remember in 1st grade we sewed a class quilt out of the same materials, felt and yarn, being SO frustrated
    when my stitches came out like that and doing it over and over until it was right. What the fuck!! It is completely unacceptable, and where are his damn credentials anyways, that about me page…..he must have been laughing and laughing as he wrote that.

  29. Wow, they look so fucking stupid.

    That bushwick daily article is their typical bullshit. Note that in her bio, the author couldn’t even be bothered to spell “Buddha” correctly.

    • Leroy Jenkem says:

      I’ve wondered for a few years as to which journalism school pays workfare subsidies to the various Brooklyn-based newsfeeds, just so they can claim that the unemployment rate among its graduates isn’t upwards of 90 percent. “Well, 85 percent of our graduates get a job with the ‘Bushwick Daily,’ and five percent settle for giving blow jobs in Des Moines bus stations. Same thing, really.”

  33. Stacey Jw says:

    I cannot believe no one commented in the (hot!) token black guy (obviously a paid model), who is wearing the most hilarious shirts I have ever seen. I mean- cartoon like hearts? On shirts? For men? ROTFLMAOx25. Poor guy, you can see the look in his eyes, he’s saying “its just a job, its just a job, no one will see this, think of the paycheck”. worst clothing concept, ever.

    Then there’s the “Wykoff. WTF is this? Burlap sewn onto a normal shirt so you can look, what? homeless? GAG

  34. In the top photo, the look is sort of Charles Manson-ish, only without the grisly death and great 60s music, which makes it even more colossally boring–if that were even possible. If it was really Bushwick inspired, they would be wearing jumpsuits from Riker’s Island.

    These people are so dull and lost. I hate looking at them. And I wouldn’t, except that I live smack in the middle of their play clothes Disneyland.

    Hey DC Native, it’s now officially the Christmas shopping season in DC:

    Jingle bells, jingle bells
    a cankle queen just cried
    Oh what lovely gifts we get
    on a subway ride…

  36. Hey, if you’re gullible enough to buy this garbage as a Christmas present, maybe you can walk around Bushwick with a bunch of carolers and “ironically” sing this song:

    So now the hipster fucks have learned how to sound like a shitty version the Pet Shop Boys.

    • sledgehammer says:

      Every hipster band sounds like a shitty version of something else. It’s all manufactured, market driven faux angst. Just cover up the Disney label with the word Indie and put beards on it. It’s all the same product underneath.

    • Joe Fliel says:

      It’s he ‘irony” factor coming into play: a bad imitation of what was, at the most, a mediocre pop duo. Any bets on when a neckbeard Waszmo Nariz tribute band will play in GreenBushBurgFortStuySlopeVille?

      • Al JaDe (@aljade82) says:

        I don’t know if they were trying to imitate the Pet Shop Boys, but they do sound like a shitty version of them. But at least the PSBs were clever and funny and innovative. These guys are just a cheap ripoff of 80s synth pop, just as their predecessors have been cheap ripoffs of punk rock, grunge, folk and everything else they manage to appropriate.

    • Leroy Jenkem says:

      You know, when the flood ends and all of these dolts move back to Dogfelcher Falls, I’m going to laugh my ass off at the people who enabled all of this. In particular, I want to double-dog-dare the owners of this place to tear it down to make room for “more rich losers moving to Brooklyn,” only to discover they would have made more money by restoring the place and selling it to someone decent.

        Justin Bieber backpack wearer isn’t wearing the Justin Bieber backpack ironically. It was a present from his mom on his 24th birthday.

      • Stacey Jw says:

        Oh my! That’s suppose to be a party? with a bunch of ugly, can’t dress losers, surrounded by ugly spray painted words (it’s NOT graffiti). I don’t care yow many drugs there were, that’s the lamest party ever.
        The days when drag queens ran the door and kept ugly dorks out- those were the days.

    • rONNIE sMITH says:

      The landlords, though, are not too bothered, said 29-year-old Chris Goldstein, who’s lived in the space since September and helps plan the events. “Some Hasids bought the place — a few Hasids come to every party. They are very interested in what we do in terms of progressive culture,” he told Daily Intel. “And maybe they’re not concerned because they just know they’re going to tear it down and build on the spot for new rich losers moving out to Brooklyn?”

      IT IS THE FUCKING HASIDIC JEWS.

      tHEY SHOULD BE ROUNDED UP AND PUT IN CAMPS.

    Hi. I’m nearly a textbook case of the stereotypical hipster- 18, thick glasses (that I need to see, mind you,) vegetarian (but I think most vegetarians are smug jerks and most of my friends eat meat.) I’m too poor to be one of those smug all-organic people I shop at thrift stores (because I’m poor) and I love art and music, but I think that self-identified modern art and indie rock is complete shit. I don’t dress like a hobo, though, and I try to be fairly presentable, as opposed to to looking like a faux scruffy fauxhimian. I go to college, have a job, and try to be a good citizen and a respectable member of society. But I digress.

    I live in a super small farm/foresty town in Connecticut, admittedly love my family and my small town, and I have no intention of invading your city and being a douche. However, I went to Brooklyn about a month ago for the Brooklyn Comics And Graphics Festival. I went to the festival because it was free opportunity to meet, shake hands with, and talk to one of my all time favorite artists, Thomas Herpich. (The guy lives in California, and I could NOT pass up this opportunity.) By the way, his drawings and paintings are beautiful, and he is very successful, nominated for one Emmy and three Annies. It was really great getting to meet this guy.

    While I was at this festival, though, I was surrounded by hipsters. Not the self deprecating, self aware ones like me who KNOW that we look like goofs and know how ridiculous we are. No… I’m talking about the nasally-voiced, tight-jeaned, scruffy, bearded fauxhimians wearing unnecessary glasses and carrying messenger bags. Hipsters EVERYWHERE. It was one of the most surreal experiences, surrounded by so many clones. I wasn’t sure how many of these hippie/punkish looking people were genuine artists, or rich transplants feigning poverty and a DIY aesthetic for some expensive indie cred. These guys were in their 30s and 40s, and were dressed like teenagers.

    While I was in Brooklyn, I could see some of the locals looking at the scarf-wearing stickmen as they ambled out of the festival with their hands in their messenger bags and their smug, fake-artsy conversations in the air. I could see the REAL New Yorkers scoffing at these children dressing up and pretending to be starving artists just how little kids put on little white coats and pretend to be doctors. As I stood outside and people-watched for a long time, I could practically see a big cloud of smug pretension rising up from these pot-reeking flannel sacks, polluting the genuine, sincere identity of the city. I suddenly wanted to get the hell out of there and back to my little house in the countryside, away from all the pretension and back to my trees and books, back to my NATURAL habitat.

    From a self-identified and self-mocking hipster, I apologize for the gentrification of Brooklyn. I’m so sorry that my people have selfishly stripped your city of its identity in favor of their own bland, white-bread nonculture. I apologize for the fact that all of the hipsters are not living in isolated log cabins in the middle of nowhere and keeping to themselves. I’m sorry that horrible people like me exist. And if I ever move to Brooklyn or New York, I promise that I will be doing that in order to secure a REAL occupation and not just dicking around in a stupid cafe. If I ever live in New York, I’ll eat at family-owned restaurants and go to REAL art galleries, not cupcake shops and fingerpaint exhibits.

    I’m sorry that hipsters ruined Brooklyn. I’m sorry that my people have bastardized the name of your fine city and grossly re-appropriated it as a fashion statement. I wish I could take them all and push them somewhere else, but I can’t. In the meantime, please continue making this great website. I hope, someday, another hipster will find it and get a wake-up call, and hopefully, this will lead to a lot of self-reflection.

    Haters immersing themselves in hipster culture so much so that they created and update a website daily…

    Wonder if this “journalist” knows that he was born and raised in Inglewood, California. Plus WHO is labeling this as urban??? People look like this in Brooklyn! Those streets are IN Brooklyn!

    Get over yourself.

    • Tobi says:

      Real Brooklynites spend $45 on burlap vests that look like they were cut by blind preschoolers with dull steakknifes? That’s pathetic, sad, desperate, and wanna-beish. Real Brooklynites look like people who work hard and don’t pretend to be starving artists, just for the attention and street cred.

      Sincerely,
      A self-admitted suburban hipster
