Hipsters




First thing about this video, the song is fantastic! The artist and song are Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP - We Speak No Americano and please follow that link to the real video (it's actually been around for a while, and has been quite popular throughout dance clubs in both Europe and the States). The video above shows two hipsters "hand-dancing" (whatever the fuck that is) along to it. I cannot even express my anger after seeing this clip...I couldn't even watch the entire thing!

Hipsters are becoming all the rage and far to common of a breed these days, and I for one am incredibly annoyed. Their false sense of being artistic and aloof is very (read: VERY) annoying...where the hell is this newfound attitude coming from?

Hipsters are nothing more than unemployed bums with some money left over from the job they probably got laid off from over a year ago and lots of free time to do "creative" things such as "hand-dance." WHAT THE FUCK...that's not being creative, that's just being a retard.

Don't get me wrong, there are people who are genuinely artistic, aloof, and crafty/creative...I actually know a bunch, they're great people. The difference between them and the new-age hipster; they've been like this their entire lives...not acting, just being themselves. I don't have a problem with this.

But, I do have a problem with people acting a certain way to grab attention...or going overboard to prove to others they are something, when in fact they are the complete opposite.

Go do something meaningful with your free-time. Don't just parade around clapping your hands and calling it art or creativity...it's not...it's a waste of time (notice I didn't say talent). Volunteer, look for a job, contribute to society in some way, do whatever you like as long as it results into something which betters either yourself or the community. Last I checked, hand-dancing wasn't a too sot after talent...so I'm not exactly sure how you're helping yourself there, maybe hand coordination I guess. As for helping the community...maybe you can start a training regiment for hipster wide receivers, what the fuck do I know.

Anyway, that's just my opinion on the matter. If you're a true artist, I have no qualms with you. I actually admire your work (whatever it may be) and think that it is much needed in any society. But, if you're trying to be artistic/creative (ref: see above) just for the hell of it, you have some free-time/bored...please stop. It's not cool.
