You have got to be MOTHER FUCKING kidding me.

Imagine some douchebag SanFranHipster came to NYC and decided to have a race where 100's maybe 1000's of hipsters get into groups of five adults (yes adults) and dress up as if it were Halloween (in January) and run with a shopping cart from a secret starting point to a secret finish line and disturb us New Yorkers all while avoiding getting caught by the police just to win a few bucks.
WELL IT'S F U C K I N G T R U E ! ! !
It's called the Idiotarod. ( ha ha, get it? like Iditarod) It was supposedly ran yesterday. Why? Just tell me WHY!?!?!?!?!? How dare you do this in New York City! We don't think it's funny, wacky, cool, ironic, weird, hip, or fun. We think it's douchy, it's out of place, it's sickening, it's childish (even though native NYC kids don't do shit like this), it's obstructive, it's dangerous, it's just one of the dumbest fucking things imaginable.
You fucko's are well into your 20's and 30's, maybe even 40's and pulling shit like this? In a city you just arrived in? (meaning 1 month - 10 years) How dare you make the police waste their time chasing your dirty, wanna be, talent-less, transplanted asses? We have the NYC Marathon and the 5 Borough Bike Tour. We don't need your ironic version of a race here. Seriously we don't. Just stop and think for 5 seconds and say "yeah I guess this guy is right, I should move back to where I came from and do shit like this and ALL the other hipster things I do back home since an overwhelming amount of real New Yorkers can't stand me".
Lord, I wish every last one of your filthy asses were caught and sent to Rikers. Then your hair would really stand up straight on it's own (unlike gelling it and rolling your head around a pillow to achieve bed-head) when a hard core criminal stuck his cock up your ass, or gave you a left hook into your lice infested beard.

Whatever happened to the Good Ol' Days when people enjoyed themselves by having debaucherous orgies of sex, drugs and rock n roll? When New York was a place to do things SHOCKING??!!
I blame the dot.commers and the douchebags who banned smoking in bars. This shit is so f**king LAME! I mean, if you want to do something worth getting arrested for, have sex in public (hot babes only please) or .. DO SOMETHING FUCKING INTERESTING FERCHRISSSAKES!!!
Oh and Cocaine SUCKS. I fucking HATE COCAINE USERS. I HOPE THEY ALL DIE PAINFULLY AND BURN IN HELL!!! Only Cocaine makes this shit look interesting.
And on a sidenote, when are girls going to run around in bikinis (or less) for "Art"?
Some of us are str8 you know.

"an all-female team in short shorts and fishnet stockings"- sounds like a good time to me!

these types of people have been around NYC for over 40 years. it's nothing new. just a new name to call them. if this blogger is the long time new yorker that he says he is then he shouldn't be surprised at all by these people and the fact that neighborhoods change over the years.

Think this shit's bad? Try Pac-Man-hattan:
http://www.pacmanhattan.com/
From the site:
---------------------------
Pac-Manhattan is a large-scale urban game that utilizes the New York City grid to recreate the 1980's video game sensation Pac-Man. This analog version of Pac-man is being developed in NYU's Interactive Telecommunications graduate program, in order to explore what happens when games are removed from their "little world" of tabletops, televisions and computers and placed in the larger "real world" of street corners, and cities.
A player dressed as Pac-man will run around the Washington square park area of Manhattan while attempting to collect all of the virtual "dots" that run the length of the streets. Four players dressed as the ghosts Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde will attempt to catch Pac-man before all of the dots are collected.
Using cell-phone contact, Wi-Fi internet connections, and custom software designed by the Pac-Manhattan team, Pac-man and the ghosts will be tracked from a central location and their progress will be broadcast over the internet for viewers from around the world.

Dude, who really gives a flying fuck if some retarded 30 yeard olds want to dress up and push shopping carts around NYC? WTF would cops even waste their time trying to stop them? Who cares?

Hey, It seems like DUMBO residents are getting scared off by beggars. Funny, I thought these shitsters wanted to experience true urban reality??

Wow, this looks like fun! It's probably a great way to meet new people too. I think the more you rant about this stuff, the more you're actually promoting hipsterism. One must be a true miserable lowlife in order to feel such resentment against a group of people who have greater sense of creativity and adventurousness than you. Not everyone's idea of a good time is to sit behind their computer being an internet troll on Craig's List and the like.

Damn Trey, or is it Trevor? Did you say greater sense of creativity? Us New Yorkers can see right through there fake creativity. Yes, right through it! Go ahead and reply to this and name me one creative thing hipsters have discovered and given to NYC? Just one thing. I'll be right here since all I do is on Craigs List. You filthy cock sucker, you probably got a good blowjob from one hipster bitch and now you are their defender. So anyway, please give us a list of their creative inventions. Oh and while you're at it, please also mention something adventurous they do.

Yeah, I'm a filthy cock sucker for pointing out the futile nature of your cause. The term hipster as applied by you is meaningless. Anyone in their 20's and early 30's who enjoys going out to see live music, socializing, drinking, partying, dancing, meeting new people in ways that don't fit your narrow minded views of "normal" is a "hipster" according to you. Anyone who doesn't have regular 9 to 5 work hours, who then sits on their couch drinking beer and watching TV in their spare time afterwards is also a "hipster". You're just resentful of people who can go out, meet new friends, and have a good time without feeling restricted to certain confines of an accepted status quo. This is NYC, a city of flux. Throughout history there has always been large movements of people in and out of the city. And yes, some people actually do "crazy things" here! That's a fact of life and if you don't like that, then simply move.
As far as being adventurous, would you do something so "crazy" as to join a league that plays kickball on Sunday in order to make new friends and meet people? No. You'd rather sit behind your computer criticizing others like a troll. Case closed.

Case re-opened douche. I'm still waiting for you back up what you first said. That hipsters are creative and adventurous. You can't name one thing can you? Go ahead, just one. Everything they (you) do has been done and they (you) are trying to make it seem as if they (you) started some new and exciting life style. It doesn't fit in NYC. Weird and new things that happen in this city have always been spontanious, not brought here by a quarter of a million transplant poseurs. All of you retro-fucks stay together and don't respect what's already been here. So when you say meet new people, you really mean a person from Portland meeting a person from Ohio, etc, etc. So now, go wait for the L Train with your asymmetrical haircut and know that we hate your guts.

You've already made my arguments for me without knowing it. Creative and adventurous is all relative. The fact this website exists, and the fact you have to criticize people who are doing all of these things that don't fit your narrow viewpoint of what's proper and approved by you, only further backs up my point. This site only reeks of misogyny and resentment...it's so obvious. Go out and get laid already.
There's no such thing as a "real New Yorker" anyway. Everyone living in this city is either a transplant themselves or descended from someone who was a transplant at some point. Deal with it. All of your arguments are moot and only show that you can't deal with social change.

Keep it up; the hipster resistance needs your voice to unite us and keep us strong!
