ROLLING HIPSTER STUDIES 09

the unitarian church i went to a couple times in the 90s sang some nice simple hymns from different continents after a thoughtful lecture about ethnographic differences in the expression of hope, or something like that. i think the snacks came from the organic grocery. idk if i had a lifestyle that was more in sync with getting up before noon on a Sunday, maybe i'd go to one here because singing in a an attractive old building with cool acoustics is p dope. but honestly, that is probably not gonna happen until i'm a senior citizen and shit.

hymns are great

well, not all of them

100% down for and excited abt the inevitable mass rediscovery of xtianity by jaded bluestaters searching for an alternative to american nihilism

Niche has already been filled by overalls, banjos, beards, vests, etc. Among that crowd religion seems more or less like just another signifier.

The return of 70s Jesus beardos with acoustic guitars

coming soon: fritzed out sex communes gone horribly awry

i think the poke doesn't understand hipsters

I think it's a universal rule that "cool church" is 10x later than uncool church.

this 'hipster christianity' is so incredibly disappointing, it is an idea w/ much scope but those guys are just

In summary, we did a very important and scientific analysis about what kind of music is hipster-approved. Sun Kil Moon, Fuck Buttons, The Field, and Julia Holter made the cut. Unfortunately, Daft Punk, Arcade Fire, My Bloody Valentine, and Arcade Fire did not.

The analysis was inconclusive, however, on one very important question for hipsters. Is it okay to like Vampire Weekend?

C/D: getting really defensive when girls teasingly tell you that you're "such a hippppster"

the hipster/college resurgence of SKM is weird

in the single they play on Sirius XMU, he references the Postal Service tho

xpost

regarding "is it ok to like _____?"the answer is obvious: if you have to ask, it's not ok

^ gets it

lol at drake right next to SKM on the hipster list

no1 now living

need a rolling urban sophisticates thread though

How is MBV less of a hipster band than Vampire Weekend?

The methodology of that study is dubious at best

The place is steps from what Mr. Weir describes, only half tongue in cheek, as the “groovy dad Gowanus coffee shop,” a.k.a. the brick-walled Root Hill Cafe on Fourth Avenue. “It’s always filled with lots of arty, paint-spattered stay-at-home dads,” Mr. Weir said, “along with kids wearing natural fabrics.” He suspects that everyone he sees hunched over a laptop is laboring over a webcast TV show.

An incident that occurred his first week in the neighborhood encapsulates what he likes about it. Mr. Weir needed a slab of plywood for his bed. He poked his head into an artists’ supply store, where a blue-jeaned worker “gave me a piece of wood and said, ‘O.K., man, just take it for free and pay it forward.’ It was like something out of a movie.”

“I’m still a little afraid of how groovy and arty my neighbors are,” said Mr. Weir, who is working on a novel about a 50-something man much like himself living in a neighborhood much like Gowanus. “To be honest, I don’t feel hip enough for Brooklyn. But when you’re 55, and you see people forming themselves and determining what they’re going to be, that’s a good feeling. I like being around people who haven’t fully found themselves.”

Nicely timed with the Disney parks thread revive:

In searching for a home, he had ruled out neighborhoods like Forest Hills, Queens — “a grandma place,” as he described it. “I wanted to live someplace younger,” Mr. Stone said. “I liked that the restaurants on Vernon Boulevard aren’t too stuffy, that they’re more casual than the ones you find in older neighborhoods. I like that you see people walking the streets late at night.”

kid cudi and log cabins and leafy greens and sunglasses, soooo hip lololol

i got a 14 on that hipster quiz and i think most of the things i clicked were beer-related?

I really do love that this guy's grasp of contemporary hispterdom is "artists pitchfork rode for TEN YEARS AGO"

Are you a really a hip-hop fan? Click these pictures of Lloyd Banks and Ja Rule and D12 to find out!

part of being a hipster is never aging

"once a hipster touchstone always a hipster touchstone" -- just ask The Rapture M.I.A. Hall & Oates

does anyone even care about the word hipster anymore? it seems dated, like only my mom / the nyt would be arguing about what constitutes a hipster anymore.

You must be wearing sunglasses, you cool, cool, person, you.

it's good to hear other people argue about it in their own circumstances because then you can study its debilitating effects without suffering them

was the picture of Buddy Holly about his glasses or are hipsters really into "Not Fade Away" and I just haven't noticed?

this is just a prelude to a ginormous culture war against hipsters
