Williamsburg Death Throes Still Produce Hipster Displays

Monday, October 8, 2007, by Robert

Hanging lingerie on N. 6th Street near Bedford Avenue. It's actually part of a changing installation a vendor sets up almost every week, but it still shows that there's hope, one week at a time.

Would someone please shoot the last hipster in Williamsburg, dump the corpse in that floating swimming pool, and then turn out the lights?

Thanks.

Would someone please remove the word hipster from their list of vocabulary? This word and its meaning is dead.

All the douche bags that hated on the hippies a generation ago had even bigger douche bag children who call young creative-types hipsters.

Douche bags beware, there is no shortage of us.

It takes a special kind of ironic naiveness for a person (#3) to cite himself/herself as a "creative type."

To #4, I'm a creative-type. What's the problem? My brother is a lawyer, he's a good person, but he's not a creative type.

You're fucking stupid and naive. And your mom is a nasty cunt.

Well I'm a creative-type AND a lawyer, so take that! I don't have to be a hipster cause I can afford real clothes instead of buying them by the pound in Bklyn and a real apartment instead of some illegal converted factory space.

Ahem, 'creative type', I think 3 was pointing out that it's a bit absurd to simply declare yourself creative...it's not exactly a declarative statement! Don't you see the irony/humor?

Imagine a hedge funder writing about how he is a 'swashbuckling type'...we would all crack up laughing, just like we do when somebody says they are a 'creative type' Get it?

Uh...#3...Everyone knows that douchebag is one word. The fact that you seem to think that they're separate words indicates that you, sir, are a douchebag!

#2 is obviously a hipster or a douchebag or a douchebag hipster.
