Thanks to reader Clayton for this article and video.

This douche Jonathan Coulton a.k.a (Jo Co) is going to wish he never quit his HTML Coder job any minute now.

      I wanted to say exactly this. This guy isn't really a hipster, he's just a nerdy music writer. And since he wrote the ending song for the game Portal, I will love him forever.

    Hey, i am a native New Yorker living in Bushwick who Detests Hipster Douchebags and i usually find myself in complete agreement with all you publish here. However i am a bit confused about this guy. He does'nt really seem to fit the Hipster Criteria. Personally i would remove him from your page but if you can explain why he is here i would apprecite that.

    Check out this comment....."JoCo is one of a kind. His music is the secret handshake that all my little uber-geek students and myself can communicate in, while confounding those who are not worthy (or aware) of his message."

    were done...... the secret handshake, uber-geek, not worthy of his message?

    are you fuckin serious? my cat is not worthy of his message, he talks about how rough it is to live in a free country with a great job, fuck'em. send him to Cambodia with the rest of the hipster viruses.
    I could care less about this guys music. It's just not good, poorly written pop bullshit. but this comment makes me want to hurt that person badly.

      The meathead who wrote that comment is obviously a total and complete Douchbag Nerd. Just like JoCo. But still i feel like they are both out of place here in this Blog. They belong on a site called DieNerd.com. Lets not waste this forum on techno geek scum. They are hardly a virus worth mentioning. Hipsters are a serious Plague....And we are the cure!!! "Some day a real rain will come and wash all the (hipster)scum off the streets!"

        Look, he may not be your typical NYC hipster, but if you offer him an apartment in williamsburg and ask him to play a show in a cheesy hipster venue, he'll jump on the offer.

    Because of the rise of various online photo-blog and social networking sites, insights into urban hipster culture is reaching sheltered suburban audiences at an exponential rate. Cultural "norms" have been deconstructed by hipster culture as a whole and thus is effecting widespread changes in society. In a sense, hipsterism is the new mainstream, and that has led to feelings of insecurity and resentment in people who are no longer a part of the cultural ruling class. For example, a lot of anti-hipster sentiment evidently comes from "tough guy" macho types who feel that the more sensitive, intelligent, and culturally aware hipster ideal threatens their insecure sense of masculinity. Anti-hipster sentiment often comes from people who simply can't keep up with social change and are envious of those who can. Remember...you can always rate the amount of insecurity someone has by the amount they rant about hipsters.
