How Hipsters Break Up (With Me)

Break up text sent from Falls Church, VA.


Hipsters: Why doesn’t The Onion and other media make fun of hipsters?

By the power of Google I pronounce this question bullshit. Case closed.


Now That Hipsters are Mainstream do They Hate Themselves?

Hipsters, much like unicorns and Carrot Top, are mythological beasts and don’t exist on the “mainstream” universe. Whenever you think you saw a hipster in the mainstreamverse, if you will, it’s probably a Justin Bieber fan or a homeless person being exploited by reality TV. There are no mainstream hipsters, but there are people wearing American Appy and Urban Outfitters in every TV Show, still, they’re not hipsters.
On a side note, hipsters do hate themselves, ironically.


Shit Hipsters Say?


I wish I knew these hipsters. The ones I know don’t talk like that.


What are Some Differences Between Hipsters and Pseudo-hipsters and What is the Population Percentage Ratio Between the Two?

So, pseudo-hipsters have more letters in their name and hipsters have less.

Pseudo-hipsters claim they’re hipsters and hipsters try their hardest to be cooler than their peers.

People loath them both, however hipsters are early adopters, therefore they know about new things first, then when it gets mainstream, pseudo-hipsters adopt them, but that’s by the time that band that used to be cool when hipsters first heard about it is rocking the new car commercial. 

Pseudo-hipsters are rocking keffiyehs in 2012. Hipsters are wearing legwarmers as scarves in 2012.

Pseudo-hipsters love Lana Del Rey. Hipsters heard from their nerd friends that her performance on SNL was horrendous.

Pseudo-hipsters Google about hipsters. Case closed.

What do you guys think? Let us know about other differences between pseudo-hipsters and hipsters.


I AM NOT A HIPSTER

Are you hipster if you watch I’m not a hipster?


A Hipster in a Galaxy Far, Far Away…

This is random, but kinda cool.

The Science Behind Your Hipsterness

Kevin Lewis, a researcher from Harvard, explains: “The meaning of an indie/alternative taste rests not just in the taste itself—but also in being the only one among one’s friendship circle that expresses it,” he claims. “If I like The Decemberists, and suddenly my friends start liking them too, suddenly I’m no longer socially distinctive. So this taste loses much of its appeal and I will run off in search of some new band to express my ‘hip’ identity.”

So, the only thing I gather from Lewis’s research is that he’s not a hipster. I mean, the Decemberists? That is so pre-iPod.


Sigh, Hayden


Hey Lana: It’s Gonna Get Better

This is not the end of it, but it could have been worse. Hey, Ashlee Simpson bounced back, right? Right? I mean, she’s somewhere, doing something. She’s still Jessica’s sister. That can’t be that bad. It makes you interesting by proxy. I don’t know if you have any famous relatives, but I’d give them a call. Hey. Hey, no need to cry now. Worst comes to worst, a.k.a. your record release bombs just as bad as your performance, you still can be a lip gloss model. Or Angelina Jolie’s lips double. I don’t know, you’ll figure it out. Just hang in there. Harry Potter is on your side, so you can ask him to use some magic to help you out.


The Lana Del Backlash Continues

One of the worst outings in SNL history

Lana Del Rey Tells Us What’s What

Lana Del Rey addresses her critics after her dismal performance on Saturday Night Live.

I Look Uncomfortable on Stage.

Staring off into space with a blank look on your face is very cutting edge and avant-garde. It’s about circumventing your expectation of what a performer is supposed to do on stage. You think I’m going to entertain you with tons of charisma and stage presence, but that would be giving you what you want. My art is transgressive. I am not interested in placating your need for gratification. I want to upset you.

You can watch the “performance” here.

Missed Hipster Connection

The Unjustly Ejected Maroon 5 Enthusiasts - w4m - 22 (The Woods - Williamsburg)


Date: 2012-01-08, 8:36PM EST

You dudes are my heroes. Myself- a dark-haired brown-glasses wearing female in corduroys and a blue short sleeved button down, three stunning Irish Catholic beauties, and our loyal friend a slender young man in a maroon sweater and dark ski cap joined you in your persistent pleas of “moves like jagger,” “jagger, jagger, jagger,” and humming the opening uplifting whistling notes to this 3 and a half minute slice of pure pop bliss. The cowardly midget DJ refused to honor your brilliant request and eventually you all were unnecessarily and abruptly kicked out by the management. seriously, what goes on? i believe there were five of you in your party, a longer haired gentleman in a sort of greaser inspired outfit, a more swarthy looking gentlemen, and a few others whose faces I could not make out in the borderline sexual harassment liability lighting in that place. But anyways, we all appreciated your valiant efforts and would like to party with you guys in a more equitable and pleasant environment sometime soon. 


Hipster Music: Leonard Cohen – Darkness

All you hipsters are listening to this song today, aren’t you?


Hipsters on TV: Portlandia – Mixology

Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein
This is a skit by skit review of the season opener for Portlandia.
Local artisan curators Lisa and Bryce realize that they can pickle everything; This skit feels like a rehash of put a bird on it.
Fred helps Carrie chase a romantic mixologist (Andy Samberg) who forgets his roots when he moves from Portland to LA; Not sure what this was. I was hoping to see a funny hipster out of Samberg, but his character was more about making faces and mix random crap in his drinks. 
Fred and Carrie stop to eat at a theme restaurant with a difficult waiter (Kumail Nanjiani); This would never happen in Brooklyn.
Kath and Dave’s emergency signals are tested when they go river rafting; At this point I’m playing Angry Birds.
Feminist shopkeepers Toni and Candice teach an A/C repairman about the “phallus” and “opposite of a phallus” inside all of us. This skit was funny with Aubrey Plaza, so I suppose it only works when they’re trying to convert a woman into feminism?
I’m not sure this means this season is not going to be as funny as the previous (which in all honesty, wasn’t that memorable), but is kind of a let down to start off with a lame episode.
