Fishing for Hipsters.

I posted a fake Ad on Craigs List knowing I would get some really hip guys to respond:
ARRIVING SOON TO BILLYBURG, Any hot guys out there to show me around? - 27 (Minnesota to Brooklyn)

Hi im moving to billyburg next week from Minnesota to help promote my brothers band (Minnesota Minestrone)thats already huge in East Williamsburg, and also will be doing some bartending at a new bar opening some where on Driggs St? Im looking to make some friends and meet some hot guys to show me around. I have a huge loft already rented so plenty of room to hang out. Email me, tell me about you and what you do and a pic if you have. Please be like cool hip, not like uncool hip OK? Im waiting
chloe
These were some responses:
Starving Artist Bearded Nobody (had a pic) responded:
Hi Chloe. congratulations and good luck on leaving the midwest for
Brooklyn. I grew up in Wisconsin myself, and have lived here for 3
years. In a few weeks, you'll never believe you were once content
with Minnesota. Anyway, I'm sure you're getting a lot of responses,
so I'll be brief in describing myself. I'm an artist, and I came here
from the Midwest to find opportunities. Currently I'm working as an
artist assistant for a watchmaker in Queens. I like drinking beer (go
figure, from Wisconsin...) and live in Greenpoint so I'm curious about
this new bar and what kind of drink specials they might have.... I
just turned 31 but people think I'm 25... like discussing politics and
art...
( "Congratulations" - "content"- "i'm an artist"- "midwest" - "opportunities"- "Greenpoint"- "people think I'm" .......... Hahahahaha what a typical hipster, I bet you're pretty content wasting an apartment and just watching the clock tick until its time to get your ass back to Wisconsin just to be replaced by a carbon copy of you. )

I'm a former Minnesotan who's been in NYC for 2 years. I used to hang out on the West Bank—Minnesota Minestrone sounds like a band that would play at the 400 bar. I'm a writer living in the West Village and I'd love to show you around the town. I'm also tall, athletic, and handsome....Viva MN....
(I'll send you a CD you idiot................Pfffff Viva MN? You mean Viva NY don't you?)

i thought this was hilarious! however, i have a feeling that the guys who responded weren't hipsters... a true hipster would never respond to a craigslist add.

Are you kidding? That's EXACTLY what a hipster would do?

and what is your reasoning behind this?

of course all comments are subjected to approval. you people are just as bas as the hipsters you ridicule and despise. ha. you are just as useless and meaningless as the people you hate. why don't you find some originality yourselves and find something new to complain about....surely in a world as fucked as ours you could muster a few things up. grow up.

This guy is FUCKED but he has a point...Hey Die Hipster Die, why don't you get rid of that moderation shit....

I approve all comments, except certain links. What are you talking about the blog or comments?

Ok, diehipster...Im talkin about the comments...I wish you would just let it flow. I think you take too long to "approve" comments and it slows shit way down. Plus, why do you feel you need to "approve" shit anyway? Maybe Im missing out on some good anti-hipster shit because you don't approve of it...And now, since I have your ear...you need to post more more more more more anti hipster shit.
Bye

To be honest , this is the first time i ever went near a blog HA. I think i had the settings wrong. I just changed something so hopefully it will flow now . I thought I had to approve everything. Lets see how it goes. Oh and I'll try to put more shit up as much as I can. If you have stuff you'd like me to put on there email me and i'll consider it. thanks! diehipsters@gmail.com
