15 Project Ideas For Tricking Hipsters Into Giving...
Alex Blagg and Bajillion Hits give you some tips for jacking your strat and making money off hipsters. Consider me on-board. bajillionhits:
There’s a dirty little loophole on the Internet just waiting to be penetrated and exploited. Thanks to a social net called Kickstarter, you can currently trick hipsters into giving you real money to “fund” a “project” you want to “create”.
Basically,...

Retired: Articles in Which the Author Is...
Guest Submission
Overdone and smug as hell, the Hipster Irritation article is hopefully on its way out. How do legit publications allow their authors to be too cool for people they think feel they’re too cool for other people. Is it the ultimate expression of hipsterdom to deny hipsterdom? Embrace it, assholes. Every group in every age, particularly if it involves a younger crowd, dresses...

Have a Toast to the Toasting
whatev2k:
Okay, I gave in and started watching this full-length film “Runaway” from the creative secretions of Kanye West. I was tweeting about it at first but remembered how much I fucking hate live-tweeting, so I decided I’d just condense everything to a Tumblr post. And then ramble some more. If there’s anything that I actually enjoy about Tumblr, it’s the reminder that I always need to...

executivecontour asked: 1) It's doldrums.
2) The band cut the part at the end where they walked around after with their hats in their hands asking for spare change, just like every other bum on the subway. You want to replace your gear? "My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir."

All Dudes Learned How To Dress And It Sucks.
Maybe my urgings of everyone to tighten up are doing more harm than good. This article rules very much. Thank you, Mary HK Choi, thank you (via Putthison & The Hair Pin.

astorminadcup asked: Was it you or the other hipster guy who said that bullshit about being stuck on a train car listening to people perform...that is the best part of my day. Sorry if they are disturbing your dulldrums by bringing you up...pah! Indie emos should have to take buses.

Don't Let Those Glory Days Pass You By - Become A...
So you were in a punk band back in the day, eh? After working until past midnight at your restaurant job, you’d join your closest friends and practice in a converted warehouse or storage unit, or someone’s basement until the early morning. You wrote songs that dealt with the social issues plaguing your country or your city and the personal issues that you felt in dealing with your...

Breaking: New York Times Told to "Chill" on that... →
This is good news for all of us. Let us hipsters reclaim the word from those neon-clad slackers who look to sully our good name. soupsoup:
newsweek:
In the last year, NYT Standards editor Phil Corbett notes, the paper has used “hipster” more than 250 times, leading him to determine that:
Hipster’s second life as hip slang seems to have lost its freshness. And with so many appearances, I’m...

I'm Too Old For The Pitchfork Music Festival.
This past weekend I flew to Chicago to attend the much talked-about Pitchfork Music Festival. I can say two things confidently about it: 1) I saw some great bands. 2) I will never attend an outdoor summer festival again. So, it was fun… but also awful. Of course, this was no surprise to me. The last outdoor concert I attended was during my senior year of high school. A...

"Bros" Icing "Bros"
The “icing” meme first came on like the common cold before it swept the Internet like a plague. What started as a “laugh at those silly “bros” drinking that terrible mixed-drink concoction” somehow quickly made the leap to let’s make OUR friends drop to one knee and down a Smirnoff ice wherever they are. I’m not sure how it crossed the line so...
