Freeze Tag, Kickball, Squirrel Fishing, and Butt Boxing... It's Adult Summer Camp!
Posted by diehipster at 6/28/2008 9:53 AM and is filed under uncategorized 
Hey kids!
I mean, hey 20 - 40 year old transplanted pseudo bohemian talentless un-original douchebags! How do these summertime activities sound to you? Squirrel Fishing! Freeze Tag! Buttboxing! Friendship Bracelet Making! And the all mighty Kickball!
Well, unfortunately you're going to have to go back to Portland, Oregon for that and I hope you do.
Thanks to a reader who e-mailed me and said "I love your blog. I fled Portland earlier this year for all the reasons you write about." The reader sent me this link to a Portland website announcing the opening of an Adult Summer Camp. I swear if this shit comes to New York this or any other summer in the future, and I see 30 year olds playing freeze tag or squirrel fishing I'm going to walk up and piss on you. Actually, I'm going to get a lot of people to walk up and piss on you.
Don't you self proclaimed artists who are still supported on Daddy's dime or huddle together like rats in a loft see that you've displaced thousands of hard working New Yorkers just so you can come here to paint, play, party, and look cool? Or whatever other meaningless things you do? Yeah I'm talking to you "Mr. HTML Coder"," Ms. Ride my vintage bike to the latte store all day", "Mr. Progressive Rock DJ", "Ms. Big Glasses Short Bangs performance artist".
Anyway here is the actual Adult Camp summer schedule:
***Take notice of how they will be "badasses" on Aug.16th and how they will play every sport known to man (excluding baseball, football, soccer, and basketball) on Aug 30th***
July 5: Yarn Craft – make friendship bracelets, kites, gods eyes and other yarn trinkets
July 19: Tour de Oregon City – a bike ride that loops around Portland, Sellwood, Milwaukee, Oregon City and back
August 2: Skate or Die Trying – Skateboarding! “No roller blades allowed, long boards are kind-of welcomed.” Kind of skater-snobby, but we can deal.
August 16: Public Art Knights – “Spray paint, tag, wheat paste and other fun stuff all around town in the dark dodging the cops.” Pretty darn sure that’s illegal. But also pretty darn sure it’s badass.
August 30: All Sports (Park Edition) – Play every sport known to man! Like Archery, Horseshoes, Kickball, Freeze Tag, Tree Climbing, Badminton, Squirrel Fishing, Freestyle Yoga and Butt Boxing to name a few.
Why does every "new" hipster idea seem even lamer than the last? Do these people try to "out-lame" each other with ever more copycat ideas?
How about this?
The anti-drug people force kids to browse this site until they want to puke. Then say "This is Your Brain on Drugs!".

Will somebody please explain to me what are the following sports exactly.
1. Horseshoes
2. Freeze Tag
3. Squirrel Fishing
4. Freestyle Yoga
5. Butt Boxing

Horseshoes were once a staple of Wild World of Sports with Jim McKay.

They just put that in there to attract some straight people. Once you get there to play horseshoes they bop you over the head and play butt bingo with you.

Did a little research into these "exotic sports" and here's what I found:
1. Throwing horseshoes round a pole - something old Italian guys do in parks. Great an Old Folks sport.
2. Some variation of "Tag - you're it". God I hated that shit in high school. Why on earth would a grown adult want to relive that???
3. Tie a nut to a piece of string, wait for a squirrel to grab it, and pull up the string. Sounds like a fun game if I'm at a picnic with my 5 year old daughter. But grown ups??? WTF???
4. Synchronized Yoga = GAY! (Actually it's a little known fact but ....... ALL YOGA IS GAY).
5. I found a video of this on Youtube and I don't even want to think about it again. Grown men rubbing each other's butts together. Oh Yes! Definitely not gay! Sure!
Seriously, why would anyone want to spend upwards of $1000 to act like a 6 year old on Viagra? I can think of so many better ways to spend my money and vacation time.
Fishing and drinking shitty beer for one.

We play bocci not horseshoes you fucking moron!!!
Reply to this
Sorry. My mistake.
Still doesn't change my point though. Horseshoes is still lame. Lamer than golf (I didn't think ANYTHING could be lamer than golf - except yoga).
Also, if you don't want Bocci to become the next Hipster fad, don't advertise it.

The pictures in the link show that I've been right all along. What's especially amusing is that if you ever stand on the corner of Bedford and North 7th on a weekend, you'll also see some fratty UES-type guys in retro sneakers, stuffed into tight jeans, topped-off with their Brook's Brothers blazers worn over an ironic t-shirt, humbly slinking around...trying to blend into the crowd of naturally thin art-school boys with shaggy hair, all because they heard through the grapevine that Williamsburg is the "new hip place" to hang out. That's right...even jocks are part-time hipsters on weekends, and they're just following in the footsteps of hipsters that have moved on before them.
What does this really mean? Basically anyone who embraces a youthful and edgy urban style, who enjoys going to rock shows and divey-type bars is labeled a hipster these days. These people represent a significant fraction of the under-30 population in this city who enjoy keeping up with the latest in nightlife, music, art, and culture. Hipterism is the new mainstream, and basically anyone with a healthy and active social life is a "hipster". It's irrelevant whether hipsters truly re-invented certain elements of culture and style, or if they're just cultural consumers and social leeches like others would retort. It's simply the new reality.
Judging from their comments, a lot of anti-hipster sentiment evidently comes from "tough guy" non-intellectual homophobic macho types who feel that the more sensitive, intelligent, and culturally aware hipster ideal threatens their insecure sense of masculinity. At some point in their lives they probably got mocked and ridiculed, or even had beer poured all over their heads, by some downtown girl with a tattoo (aka "hipster") after trying to pull some lame move on them. If you think about it, in some ways the entire hipster revolution came about to mock and ridicule such people and their mentalities. It's not about meat and muscle anymore. 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.

What the fuck is an ironic t-shirt you dumbassed mother fucker? All that picture showed was a bunch of suburbanites from the midwest playing on a slip n' slide like they did when they were with their mommies. What you call hipster lifestyle is nothing more than a frat boy lifestyle. Their was nothing youthful, edgy or urban about that jerkoff fest, it was only juvenile.
Remember...you can always rate the amount of insecurity someone has by the amount they rant (cut n' paste) about anti-hipsters.

Sounds like a bunch of people are going to get together on their vacation time and have some fun. WELL SHIT, WE WOULDN'T WANT THAT!!!
How, exactly, are these activities any worse than, say, getting together with your male buds, eating nachos and drinking shitty beer, and watching the football game ... or golfing ... or fishing ... or going jet-skiing at some little inland lake ... or doing any of the other recreational activities that people like to do?

EXACTLY! This is one of the points I've been making all along, and any intelligent and socially well-adjusted person knows that. You must REALLY hate your own life if you're online frothing at the mouth whenever you see pictures of hipsters having fun. And I'll say it once again for the dim-witted anti-hipster meatheads on here (I just love driving them into a rage with a simple cut and paste, don't you? It's almost too easy):
Everyone from college students to investment bankers are adopting elements of hipsterism, to some degree, in one form or another these days. In a sense, the hipsters have won as they have successfully "hipsterized" modern day sensibilities. "Hipsters" are out partying, enjoying life, meeting new friends, and probably getting laid while the anti-hipster hate mongerers are sitting alone behind their computer screens resenting anyone else out there who is out having fun. I'm pretty sure the group of people they label "hipsters" would much rather prefer doing whatever they're doing, than to switch places with the anti-hipster ranters on here. Hipsters represent a significant fraction of the under-30 population in this city who enjoy keeping up with the latest in nightlife, music, art, and culture.

Yep, that sounds about right for Portland. Better not make fun of Hipster Heaven, though, because otherwise this site will be overrun with screaming grown-up brats, all yelling "Yeah? Well, Portland's cool, and you're just a poopyhead!" (For those who haven't been exposed to Portland's particular blend of passive-aggressive attitude and impotent and inconsequential whining, just wait until Pearl Jam's next tour comes to town.)

I think you misread the article, those are pictures of Hipsters not Josh Van Bedford. If you read it, he has a daughter and is a Brooklyn native just like me. I am from Greenpoint born and raised, my mother is from Lithuania. I have nothing with people coming to Brooklyn to start over, but the Hipsters are different. They are wealthy brats from New England. They are the same Yankee Brahim's who hate NY and everything about NY, yet their bratty kids all move here trying to be what they never can. I say this New Yorkers, rise up and hit the streets until everyone of these fruitcakes packs up their bags and moves back to Maine, Mass, NH and CT. I don't buy that midwest transplant crap by the way. I have never met a Hipster from there and most I have met are all from in and around Boston.

While you're at it, take the city back from the real estate parasites who have closed down everything interesting in NYC and other places with their high rents. Then go after every e-trader and Ayn Rand lover who have made it acceptable to fuck over hard working people in the name of money. Then burn down every Hipster business and every clothing chain in Lower Manhattan. And finally, kill all the hipsters and their retarded parents.

Your cut n' pastes prove only that you can cut n' paste. Tell my in simple words (after all I am a Brooklynite) why is it ok for hipsters to mock but it is wrong to mock hipsters, and what is this damned revolution you are talking about and will it be televised?
Reply to this
It has been increasingly obvious to me what being "native NYC" stands for: xenophobia, homophobia, intellectual ignorance, violence, an inability to adapt, etc. I'm sure with such admirable attitudes as yours, hipsters feel that much more guilty when they move in and price out your sorry ass. If such attitudes are typical of native NYCers then I say good riddance to the natives as I welcome this incoming tide of more well educated and socially adaptable hipsters to this city!
Reply to this
It's funny; I thought this site was great when I first found it, as I find hipsters extremely ridiculous and annoying, even in the small town I live in there is an infestation.
However, after reading through the comments I am starting to find the "native NYC" crowd worse than the hipsters.
Reply to this
Come to Brooklyn and see how these upstanding liberal thinkers treat people of color or Spanish heritage and then you will see why there is all this anger.
Reply to this
There is nothing more racist in NYC than non-colored/non-Spanish "native" NYCers. Just google "racism in Bensonhurst and Bay Ridge" and you'll see.
Reply to this
You forget that the more socially adaptable "transplants" are the ones willing to leave the comforts of their home towns in order to seek better jobs and a better life. On the other hand, many "native" NYCers who spend their entire lives in "white-only" racially homogeneous neighborhoods of Brooklyn can't deal with any type of social change, and prefer to solve their problems with baseball bats and violence:

What does this have to do with the way hipsters treat hispanics & people of color? Two wrongs don't make a right. Michigan, Indiana and the other hipster breeding places have the same if not worse racial problems. Hipsters in billyburg & greenpoint still treat the locals like shit.

the last time I looked; we were still in America; where anyone or anybody can relocate to any state he or she desires without any type of explanation to anyone!!! I, myself being a native NYer have witness NYC become a better place to reside in during the last five (5) yrs due to incoming people from all over the USA & abroad. It has also made NYC the safest city in America. All new comers to the city; don't pay no mind to these nayser's. there trying to give all of you a guilt trip for relocating to NYC. the nayser's want to continue the same B/Sh!t status Quo (e.g., welfare, section 8, rental assistance plus, keep people locked in poverty) so elected officials can stay in their paid positions & continue to give out free handouts(low rents) for people in their low-income districts in return for their votes @ election time! So in a way...you, so-called "hipsters"; are a big threat to their existence. Don't believe all the hype about displacement of so-called "long time" residents. it's the biggest con game going! the roaches & water bugs all see the writing on the wall; they know their con game is almost up. there trying to fight you tooth & nail on these blogs on how newcomers (Hipsters) are destroying the life of NYC; don't fall for any of those lies & tricks; years ago NYC was full of crime, gang infested, dirty & basically broke with half the population on welfare. that's the NYC of yrs ago. yes...rents are going up; just like everything else in life. now the lowlife's have to move or start working in real jobs. again, this is "America" where the people have the freedom of movement to anywhere they choose w/out a guilt trip!!! Future so-called "Hipsters", you are welcome with open arms to NYC anytime.

Did you ever think that some people just don't want to live near people who are different. Its kind of like the way Hipsters don't want to live near working class white people. Get of your high horse jackass, your just as closed minded. By the way, most blacks and hispanics aren't exactly thrilled to be living near Hipsters. Do a google search and you will see that they are the ones who feel that you people are destroying their hoods, its not just the Italians and Irish.
Reply to this
Douche, you have hit the head with the nail on that one. Hipsters are as bad if not worse then the working class whites they seem to hate so much. They walk around as if they are holier then holy and above people who aren't into diversity. In reality, they don't want to live near anyone who isn't like them just like the Irish don't want to live near blacks.
These kids move to NY to live this fake diverse world they saw on TV. Problem is, it has to be just like the way they want it. They don't want to be near working class whites because they don't want to be grouped in with them. Why do you think Trey is so insecure with his trolling.
He is as bad as the Irish in Bay Ridge except people like him think their different by moving in former black areas like Bed Stuy. They don't realize that the only people being hurt are the blacks who are being forced form NY and replaced by them.

Hey Trey,
How many names do you leave comments under. Lets see theres Anon,Trey, nativeNYer, and a few others. You actually post something to defend hipsters and then come under another name pretending to be a NYer agreeing with your last comment. You're a sad little douche and you know it. How can you advertise the carefree hipster social life while you sit in a filthy loft somewhere ALL DAY AND NIGHT LONG scanning craigslist and this site defending hipsters? How can you do both at the same time?
Oh, and try reading the article about this site that you keep linking. Trust me you little insecure beer pong champ, I'm the farthest thing from a hipster. This site is not run by a hipster or hipsters. Nobody has been had. Now try leaving your apartment and getting some sun you pasty little American Apparelyzed transplanted douche.

Hipsters all have Peter Pan complex if you think about it. Due to their parents wealth and having grown up pampered, these brats never had to learn how to be adults. Their stuck in this little make believe world where they can sit around an do nonsense while the rest of us work. No need to fear old Brooklyn, the economic slow down has started.
Pretty soon these little brats parents will demand them to get jobs since it will their post college vacation will be sucking their income. These kids really offer nothing so they will most likely be unemployed. Once this happens, they will go back to mom and dad and those who are left will probably get jumped on a regular basis due to the fact that they ruined our city.

This group of people labeled "hipsters" don't actually refer to themselves as "hipsters", and they certainly don't care what is thought of them by anonymous CL trolls.

Fuck off - I'm a non native New Yorker who lives in Bushwick, and plays music as well as kickball, so apparently I'm a hipster.
Guess what? I've also held a job since I was 15, worked my way through college, have ran my own business in NYC, and currently work in the city at an office. And most 'hipsters' I know have similar life stories.
Sorry for that, didn't mean to get in the way of you calling people exclusive and interchangeable because they don't act exactly like you and your friends.

No matter how logical your arguments, anti-hipster ranters still shout "hipster" at anyone and everyone they don't agree with. If you own an Ipod, they will call you "hipster". If you've ever gone to Starbucks, they will call you "hipster". If you are a freelancer and have your own work hours, they will call you "hipster". If you own any clothing from a thrift store or have edgy urban fashion sensibilities, they will call you "hipster". If you listen to bands on an indie record label, they will call you "hipster". If your hair is a little messy or scruffy, they will call you "hipster". If you drink cheap beer like PBR, they will call you "hipster". If you are vegan, they will call you "hipster". If you simply exist, they will call you "hipster".

Yup, this is what I mean by hipsterism is the new mainstream. Like it or not, the modern hipster movement is here to stay. Deal with it. It was something that was started over 15 years ago by creative types in Williamsburg and has spread into the mainstream. In a sense, the hipsters have won as they have successfully "hipsterized" modern life and modern attitude. Have a look around. Elements of hipster fashion and hipster sensibilities are everywhere. What's especially amusing is that if you ever stand on the corner of Bedford and North 7th on a weekend, you'll also see some fratty UES-type guys in retro sneakers, stuffed into tight jeans, topped-off with their Brook's Brothers blazers worn over an ironic t-shirt, humbly slinking around...trying to blend into the crowd of naturally thin art-school boys with shaggy hair, all because they heard through the grapevine that Williamsburg is the "new hip place" to hang out. That's right...even jocks are part-time hipsters on weekends, and they're just following in the footsteps of hipsters that have moved on before them.

The reason why some people hate hipsters is that they completely inauthentic. They're fake. Poseurs. Non conformists conformists. No one likes a faker, Trey, NO ONE. Wearing 80's clothes is not original. We already know that fashion repeats itself every 20 years you dick bags. Hipsters are an embarrassment. I suggest to you Mr. Trey Parasuco that you try to forget about that worthless philosophy degree and get a fucking job. Not only are YOU an embarrassment but you are an embarrassment to your entire family, even your grandparents probably think you're a 27 year old, spoiled little turd. Now sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.

Basically anyone who embraces a youthful and edgy urban style, who enjoys going to rock shows and divey-type bars is labeled a hipster these days. These people represent a significant fraction of the under-30 population in this city who enjoy keeping up with the latest in nightlife, music, art, and culture. Hipterism is the new mainstream, and basically anyone with a healthy and active social life is a "hipster". It's irrelevant whether hipsters truly re-invented certain elements of culture and style, or if they're just cultural consumers and social leeches like others would retort. It's simply the new reality.
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.

There is nothing urban or edgy about hipsters. It is merely a frat boy lifestyle fostered upon us by liberal art majors who still think they are living in the dorm.

Funny, I always used to love going to Hardcore shows at this place that's now closed in Bay Ridge. After that, me and my friends would hit dive bars and pound a few rounds talking about life. Now when ever I try and do the same thing all of the clubs have some horrible unoriginal band and the dive bars are filled with fake people all trying to look the same and act the same. They all seem to dress like my dad who was a mechanic except these kids have never worked a day in their life. They ruined everything I loved and turned it into some cheap fad. I hate Hipsters because they try to be something their not. They know jack about music and just through names of bands that all the other hipsters like. They embrace white trash culture because they secretly covet our way of life. Problem is, they ruin everything that working class people loved and make us feel segregated in our own culture.

Hipsters are still stuck in their teenage years, they don't want to grow up. They still wear rock band shirts, they play childrens games and they troll around looking for easy drunk women like 18 year olds. Sad reality is that these are grown people not children. Anyways, the economy is gonna crash and I bet anyone that natural selection will do away with these wastes of life with a year after the first food shortage.

Hipsters are the new Hippies -- Unbathed, spoiled brats that move to the city, act wacky, have no original thoughts, and contribute nothing to society and then eventually become smug and trendy Yuppies. Fuck off.

Trey, when you were in your wigger phase did you used to go to anti-wigger websites and do the old cut and paste Remember...you can always rate the insecurity of someone by the way the try to act like the latest trend.

You are a moron. You realize what that term you're using is a portmanteau of, yet you use it like the typical racist idiot that posts on this site. You are just as moronic as the hipsters.

Yup, it is exactly because of their blatant racist, xenophobic, and homophobic attitudes why "native" NYers on this site have lost all credibility when it comes to their rants against hipsters. I'm sure that with such moronic attitudes, the hipsters they hate so much really feel that much more guilty when they move in, and price out their sorry asses from their neighborhoods.
For a more intelligent and relevant critique of modern hipsterism, visit www.hipsterrunoff.com, as this site has become nothing more than intelligent people making fun of native NYCers for their hypocritical hatred of hipsters.

Massive Longitudinal study of all reported victims of sexual
offenses against minors in the German State of Lower Saxony
from 1969-1972, with six to ten year follow-up, under the
direction of the German Ministry of Justice. Total sample is
over 8,000, including over 800 boys up to age 14. Violence
and/or coercion were present in roughly half of the offenses
against girls, and were correlated with negative outcomes.
None of the boys experienced force or coercion, and no
negative outcomes were observed for any of the boys. This is
by far the most in depth study in the field.

As a Portland native in his mid-twenties I have this to say:
Dear Midwest/Massachusetts/Northern California/Southwest/Parts unknown,
Please take back your douche bags, crappy musicians and "artists"... We're all full here and they're stinking up the joint.
Sincerely, me.
