I hate hipsters. There’s no irony there, no self loathing, no misplaced rage towards youth or whatever bullshit fucking faggity half-assed window dressing anyone wants to cover it up with. I hate them. When I see multicolored Ray-Bans, I want to rip them off their heads and drive my fingers into their disgusting eye pits until I rip out the eyes and smear the gooey slop all over their graphic t-shirts. I want to choke them with their own little fucking sweat bands until they fucking shit their tiny undersized shorts and die.

I want to cut their fucking stupid pierced ears off and wear them as a necklace to display how many fucking dickless faggots that listen to Grizzly Bear will never be able to now that I fucking jammed a screwdriver into their ear drums and sawed off their useless ears.

I don’t give a fuck how they distinguish themselves between hipster, scene, whatever the fuck–I just don’t give a shit. I’m honed into those faggots, I can fucking smell it like a stink. “Oh, I’m not one of those hipsters. I just like a lot of indie bands.” Shut the fuck up, I’m going to fucking saw their stupid fucking heads off with my rambo knife while holding onto their retarded looking beards, those fucking Grizzly Adams faggots.

Not that it will be very hard, the weaklings lift nothing heavier than a fucking record all day. I can’t wait to burst into their roof parties and murder them all where they stand, all crookedly with weight distributed unevenly like they’ve got iPhones up their asses.

Then I’m going to take their girlfriends, those stupid, cow-eyed girlfriends who have never seen a real man and have only bitchnagged weaklings into becoming effete doormats. I’m going to rape them so hard, their fucking hippy dresses will be in tatters from the force of my finish. The floor is going to be littered with fucking cowboy boots and combat boots and those stupid fucking ballet flats from all the braindead hipster sluts I’m going to fuck up the ass, nose, ear, cunt, I just don’t give a fuck.

Gotta go. I’m making a skin tapestry of stupid tattoo sleeves from dead hipster faggots, and I’m going to dry it out in the sun while fucking the 19 year old “night life blogger” who had a tight cunt and ass. I keep her in my panel van. She wanted to hang out in the big city, but now she just cries for her mother. Her asshole is like a kangaroo’s pouch now. It’s where I keep my Bonnie Raitt cds.

Feel free to use that as an article. Have a nice day.

Dear Dirk,

Sounds like someone’s girlfriend just left him for a skinny jeans wearing, PBR drinking, 20-something year old guy from Greenpoint. Get over it.

Love,
SBTVC

P.S. For someone who claims to despise hipsters and everything they stand for, you sure do know follow their trends pretty closely (Ray-Bans, Grizzly Bear, party blogging, etc.); self-loathing much?

So glad I never left the neighborhood I grew up in an made anything of myself! Fuck yeah! Small minds are like the tight pussies of thinking! Mobb Deep!

  23. T.T. Says:

    As pointless as it may be to go on anti-hipster rants, this site’s tendency to defend hipsters at all costs strikes me as far more pathetic.

    Especially when it comes to Gavin.

    He tries to maintain a facade of being “hardcore,” but I believe deep down he knows he got very, very lucky writing one-liners for a fashion/”youth culture” magazine that catered to what could fairly be called the “hipster demographic.”

    So unless he defends these poofy, effete, vapid children of privilege, he has to admit he was a sellout.

    Recently he wrote that everyone wants to live in New York and be a part of the edgy nightclub scene that eulogizes dead junkies instead of calling them the fuckups that they are. He needs to stop projecting his own values onto the rest of the world.


  24. Oh Kay Says:

    Dirk? More like burke.

    Oh, the irony…


  30. JuCIFER Says:

    Uhh let me guess…. Polish dude from Greenpoint, too many roids, got shot down by some cool chick, now he’s on the rampage.

    I did like the use of “effete”… 15 points for that word.


  31. Ungawa! Says:

    The Junior High level of most of these retorts is cringeworthy. Sure, rip a page out of the Hip-Hop Playa Hata book and accuse anyone who says they don’t like you of seething with jealousy because they actually want to be you.

    Because it can’t possibly be that some people actually find the group loosely termed as “hipsters” to be empty and weak and boring and whiny and, worst of all, entirely unoriginal. That’s simply not possible. As Mrs. Seinfeld said to Jerry, “How can anyone not like you?”


  32. Kennedy Says:

    Gavin may have been lucky, but(and I can only speak for myself – not other SC readers) I no longer read Vice because Suroosh and Shane(?) are unfunny, pretentious, and whiny. This site is like Vice, but without all that “gay.”


  33. John Doie Says:

    “I can’t wait to burst into their roof parties and murder them all where they stand, all crookedly with weight distributed unevenly like they’ve got iPhones up their asses.”

    RU KIDDING this is great! HAHAHAHAHA!!


  34. Bitch Made Says:

    I don’t even know what a hipster is.

    People say that it’s a person who takes fashion way too seriously, believes they are an “artist” (especially if they have no talent whatsoever), are well educated (extra points for self-educated), and spend the majority of their time drinking at bars/taking drugs, paying way too much attention to music and acting sarcastically (using the term “irony” is a misnomer).

    Is this right, b/c then I don’t see the difference b/t these people and hippies (except tighter clothes of course)

    I am a dork


  35. dirk fan Says:

    i like this guy.


  36. adolph hipster Says:

    that ’standing all crooked with their weight distributed unevenly’ line is brilliant…..

  40. Chachi and the MS-13s Says:

    I hate fucking Puerto Ricans. One day I’ll go down to Los Seweres and read and birth control them all to death while I make them stop fucking littering everywhere. And! And I will point out to them how fucking greasy their women are. Also, Niggers, what’s with the always yelling? Is that some Invisible Man reaction shit? I’m not paying attention to you because you’re boring and poor not because you’re too quiet. Hassids? I would make them back home to jewland after I raped them of their cellphones, dandruff and Toyota Previas. Polish people will die out on their own because they’re retards. Grizzly Bear fuckin’ rules.

    Whatever happened to Korn? Fuck they were good.


  47. Michael Says:

    This guy is so time-fucked. Everybody knows that the new shit is to actually become whatever it was you’ve been halfheartedly emulating for the past decade. Now that you’ve had time to get comfortable with your “ironic” mustache it’s time to step it up. Park the van next to where the high school girls’ volleyball team practices and offer the ladies some joyrides on on that push broom. Stop pretending. Start being.


  48. Robo Says:

    Was this article emailed via timewarp? It’s 2009, Dirk, get with the program.


  49. Dick A. Darkangelo Says:

    booooooooooooooooooooooring…who gives a fuck what you like or don’t like? “nehhhhh, i don’t like cheese and here’s why in incredibly florid, dull language: and then i fuckin’ hate it me go boom boom on its head.” get off the fucking rag, man. you ARE BORING. no one wants to hear your problems.

  53. Ronbenet Jamsey Says:

    Supposedly Korn has a new album in the works. Cool.


  54. bj Says:

    hipsters were the ones i thought that were so way ahead of you in terms of fashion and music that you dont really know what it is theyre listening to (or you wont untill 3 years from now) & that you have no idea wtf is going on with their fashion because you dont understand what theyre wearing (maybe in three years you will) you’ll never go to their parties or even know they exist, and if you DID go you’d have no idea wtf theyre listening to or what their jokes are about or anything etc etc

    hipsters are supposed to be on some next level scene shit thats 5-10 years in the future like some tron-warholian nightmare i wouldnt even begin to be able to comment on.

    i thought that was the deal. The people ‘Dirk’ is complaining about are just the WANNABE hipsters or something, or even just some kids following a trend, sooooo whats the big deal?

    Some kids dress in a way you dont like and listen to music you dont like? STOP THE PRESS!! or go and have a cry-wank or whatever.

    The ACTUAL ‘hipsters’ you think you’re talking about are on some invisible illuminati time-travelling reptillian fashion-overlord-V-robot-alien-terminator-benevolent-master-race-superior-being shit.

    You dont even know they exist.

    The guy that empties your trash cans and sleeps under a bridge is actually doing research for Christian Louboutins 2011 footwear range.

    Its like ‘They Live’ but with fashion cognoscenti instead of skelleton-alienoids

    The people you’re complaining about are just kids following a trend, which just makes you kind of a dick.

    (not like me)


  55. Dirkie Dirk Says:

    fuck you darkangelo. FUCK u.


  56. Uland Says:

    I wasn’t fully with Dirk until I read BJs’ comment.
    Dirk— We all hate them. Unless you’re one of them, or make money off of them, you hate them. Thing is, they feed off this kind of shit, and the only reason anyone would care as much as you do about them is cause you’ve got some lingering desire to be in with some kind of group and see hipsters as a shitty version of what ought to be good. There is nothing there. Hipsters aren’t “up” on anything, nor do they move any real culture in any way; they just parasitically attach themselves to that idea. It’s the same shit in slightly different clothes. They have no influence beyond the cash they spend.
    Just do what the rest of us do and ignore them.


  57. Kennedy Says:

    Ronbenet Jamsey is the best name yet.

  60. louie st. louis Says:

    Gavin’s a great writer, like Mark Twain. I want to defend Gavin and point out that he transcends this hipster nonsense. He should get a good site editor though; this is the second reader-submitted juvenile piece of trash I have had to comment on. All killer no filler please

    do you feel excluded, dirk? would you like to be invited to one of those parties and have everybody hug you and accept you as one of them? would you like it if those girls liked you more? maybe they would want to hold your hand as you wipe away your tears? well, it’s not gonna happen, pal. you’re a creep.

  99. C-Dilla Says:

    Hipsters, while obnoxious, serve as cannon-fodder for the capitalist machine. The best way to destroy them is to make money from their pitiful, empty lives. If you are under 30 today and are even slightly on top of your shit, you should be destroying the competition, because the competition today is a bunch of entitled, weak, disaffected and mincing little man-children. Go forth and conquer.

    Definitely written by a hipster, too many clever references.

    Very funny though.

    ps. I like Grizzly Bear but I don’t have a mustache… I don’t know who I am anymore.


  107. Aditional Stuart Says:

    ps. all the fucking hipster comments in reaction to Dirk’s rant are hilarious. Particularly the quasi-psychoanalyses serving a dual purpose an insult & a self administered ego massage; or using the word ‘transcend’ to describe ballet shoes.


  108. Sheep Says:

    Hipsters, if you were stripped away from your American Apparel, your RayBans, your fixed gears, your MP3 mixing Dj’s etc etc etc…. what/who would you be?

    Please don’t have kids.


  109. mailman Says:

    I kind of hate hipsters too, mainly for their snobbiness and pretentious attitudes, but I don’t think they deserved to be raped and murdered for their beliefs; as much as you disagree with them, don’t threaten to kill and assault people because of it. Fuck man, that’s straight Nazi/insane extremist talk. I mean, if I told someone I like to listen to Zeppelin, The Guess Who?, and the Beatles, and they told me I’m way too “mainstream”, and then rambled off a list of a bunch of indie bands I’ve never heard of that are “way better”, I’m not going to want to shoot them in the head or rape their girlfriend or anything. I’d just think they were being an asshole, and probably tell them such.
    There’s room for compromise dude; just because they like something doesn’t mean you should hate it. If somebody said their taste in music was better than mine, then I might at least agree to listen to some of their favorite tunes to see if I dug them. I don’t particularly care about dressing in the latest clothes, listening to the hippest music, or hopping from one thing to another; I like doing what interests me. If hipsters want to wear tight jeans, converse sneakers, smoke parliaments, and listen to the greatest, latest, coolest bands, they can go right ahead for all I care. If it makes you happy, whatever. Do what you love, man. Unless what you love is murder and rape; if had to be around a potential murderer/rapist or a hipster, I’d probably hang with the hipster. Besides man, most hipster chicks I ever meet are almost always hot. Pussy isn’t some band you’ve never heard of; it’s just… pussy;)

    5 years from now there will be a theme party about this and it will be fantastic.


  112. Average Joe Says:

    Hilarious! I too hate hipsters, but probably not as much as that fellow. I’m just sick of all of you acting like you’re some poor downtrodden depressed kids, when in reality, you’re all upper middle class coddled children. I’m on the far left, and i hate it when hipsters act like they know what the average person goes through. I live in REAL life, no one pays my bills, no one replaces my car when it dies, no one gives me an allowance. The only thing my parents gave me was love, and I guess that may be better than the money your parents gave you, because you all act like you’re 5 minutes from hanging yourself in the garage while Adam’s song is played on loop.

    Good day!


  113. Average Joe Says:

    Also, fuck American Apparel, they bust unions.

    I doubt the rant was written by a hipster, just because they know the shitty music and trends you enjoy could easily point to the fact that they know some hipsters or see far too many of you.
