Hipsters

I’m not hating, but hipsters suck - they are a waste of space. You guys are some of the biggest haters in your own right, and that’s why I hate you. Your whole goal in life is to hate on stuff that everyone else likes and then love stuff that everyone else hates. This isn’t just because you were born different and you just happen to like different stuff. This is because you were such a clown growing up that you were forced to find the shit that nobody else wants and call it your own.

Let’s say the world is like a big pack of wolves, which it basically is. You all would be the lowest dog on the hierarchy. You pick up the scraps after everyone is done with them already. The thing is you have been doing this shit for so long, that you are able to pretend that you like it! You guys take everyone’s trash and love it. Maybe you should be called dumpsters instead of hipsters.
Here is a perfect example: thrift store clothes. The stuff you are buying (overpriced, I might add) from a thrift store(or vintage) was shit that was hot 20 years ago, but you rationalize it by saying “it’s ironic.” You just picked up the scraps of some guy who is now 30 but wore that stuff when he was 17…oh wait you are 30 also. High school hipsters I get, but old hipsters? There ain’t shit hip about a 45 year-old in skinny jeans. Why don’t you just go to the kids you hated in high school's old houses and raid their childhood closets? That way you can wear the very clothes of those that were such “jerks” to you in high school. How is that shit for ironic?
There is one thing I have to give you guys credit for because this is truly one of the strangest phenomenons I’ve ever seen. It is your ability to infiltrate a neighborhood and plant the seed of a pretentious gentrification bomb. Now I believe - and I’ll have to check the hater records - but I believe you guys may have taken over as the top gentrifyers on earth. I guess that makes sense because no one really wants to be around you, so you go places where people will just ignore you if they can. As far as hipster, you are always left alone, no one wants to deal with you.

Case in point, hipsters open up a bar right in the middle of a historically Black or Hispanic neighborhood, yet the music, the beer, and the atmosphere are soooo shitty that not one person actually from that neighborhood wants to set foot in the establishment! How the fuck did you all do that? I know that the music of some asshole from Iceland no one has ever heard of and the scent of PBR is enough to keep most people away, but not one local!? People avoid you like the plague, I guess they don’t want any of your fake apathy to rub off on them.
Fake apathy? Yes, you know what I am talking about hipsters, so don’t even deny it. The type of apathy where you say stuff like “I don’t care man, it doesn’t even matter what I wear,” even though you actively seek out the lamest (ironic) shit that you can find so you can put yourself on display out in some sort of hipster establishment. I’m sure you don’t give a shit, even though your skinny jeans ran you like $170, and your nondescript hoody, which looks like it is cheap but it is actually from American Apparel so it ran you a little over $120. Yea, it’s pretty clear you don’t give a shit.
Just like when your band plays in some shithole bar, you don’t care that only 8 people are there, because if there were any more people you would feel "too mainstream" anyway. Don’t you worry about being "too mainstream.” I’m pretty sure your concerts that consist of you with a laptop just full of animal noises and snare isn’t going to catch on anytime soon. I’m not hating hipsters, I’m just saying.

Aparna said...

animal noises and snare!

That's my favorite band.

Ryan said...

you'd be surprised how much pussy dressing like a pussy gets you. not you though, you probably dress either A) like you wish you went to Georgetown or B) like you shop at thrift stores sans-irony

Adrian Rodney said...

sir...I stay in puss...and it's not because I pay hundreds of dollars on unisex clothes...you little coin purse (pussy reference)....I actually get girls the old fashion way by looking like I have good penis or being attractive to them.....think about that the next time your on your bed squirming out your jeans like a chick......

Bryson said...

Damn! Nice hate!

John said...

Wow! This is pretty much what i envisioned this site would be. I hate you all!

Adrian Rodney said...

Thank you sirs....attacking people is fun....I hope he responds.

Jackson said...

Has anyone ever heard someone say, "Yes, I (insert name) am a hipster"? It seems like no one will admit to being one yet they always seem to be crawling out of the woodwork.

Chubbs said...

hoodies at American Apparel aren't $120...and I was thinking...isn't one of you guys a hipster? But I do agree, hipsters have a plethora of hate--and they hate eachother even more than they hate non-hipsters.

And, I agree with Ryan--hipsters get lots of the p-word.

Jason said...

this coming for 3 fucks who have a picture of them weating hipster t-shirts RIGHT ON THEIR F'ING WEBSITE?

Sometimes this blog blurs the line between hate & fate.

John said...

Jason we weren't even hating man. You got us all wrong. We were just saying. This site isn't about hating man...I'm sorry you took it that way.

Katya said...

"I actually get girls the old fashion way by looking like I have good penis or being attractive to them"

I'm not sure why, exactly, but this is the best comment ever.

But what will hipsters do now that Polaroid went out of business? Does it still count as hip if you have to photoshop the photo to make it look like it's on a Polaroid?

Ryan said...

my dear, dear friend adrian:

i'm not hating but there's no need to lie on the internet. youre still a virgin. myth busted.

John said...

Good hate...damn that was a great hate actually.

jeff said...

James said...

Alex said...

Double Hate: Comedians who do the same..oh no.

Adrian Rodney said...

To Ryan: look......YOU SANITARY NAPKIN...

You sound like one of those jocks with no muscles in one of those teen movies....(in dumb local voice) you don't wear head bands it's the freakin eighties....yeah he's probably a virgin... (camera pans as the young teenagers give each other high fives in the gayest way ever)...

YOU WILL NOT WIN SIR....GIVE UP(adrian looks at Ryan's comment again laughing to himself while thinking....what a b**ch)

Mblejer said...

Man, hating hipsters has just become so... mainstream. I mean, I hated hipsters back before it was cool to hate hipsters. Hell, I went to Oberlin, where hipsters rule supreme.

These days, I don't know, hating hipsters has just really sold out.

Jackson said...

Since James doesn’t seem to be a fan of punctuation, this is how I interpreted his comment:
If by pussy, you = mean. Dirty, haven't taken a shower in a week; just slept. With a guy? with out protection? pussy?...Then yeah, hipsters get mad. Pussy!

marta said...

Ignorance doesn't fall too far from posing, and this article is pretty rich in both. Smarten up, kids! Read a book.

Or is reading too "hipster" for you?

Jercorm said...

I agree with Marta. She is obviously well read and extremely intelligent. At first blush, this blog entry has a ton of potential. I was excited, as I’m sure most of your readers were, to see a piece railing on the ridiculousness of hipsters and their ridiculous ways, but alas, the ranting was simply not up to par. Where pray tell is the mention of mustachioed ill fitting cardigan wearers? Also, Google is a great tool for determining the current market value of clothing. Not hating, jut saying...
