Hipster

Hipster
Hipsters couldn't incite more blind hatred if they were all ginger-haired Al-Qaeda members. But why? Could it be their taste in music? Fashion sense? Attitude of superiority? Perhaps. Just The Facts The term arose in the 40's to describe middle class whites acting like black musicians, now referred to as "nerdcore". A Brief History of Smug "Hipster" is another one of those subcultures that is hard to nail down. "You just don't appreciate the genius of Spoon like I do." While most well adjusted members of society view music as an enjoyable addendum to life, perhaps a distraction or even a hobby, hipsters know that music is serious business. Judging a Book by (What Pitchfork Says About) Its Cover If asked to define what it is to be a hipster, one might be tempted to give a number of answers. This would mean I lose if I wasn't listening to it to be ironic. Hipsters must therefore strive at all times to stay a step ahead of everyone else. Next year I'll be appointed Secretary of Bad Decisions!

Les Colocs - Tassez vous de delà Les ColocsTASSEZ VOUS DE DELÀ Tassez-vous de delà y faut que je voie mon chum Ça fait longtemps que je l'ai pas vu y'était parti, y'étais pas là La dernière fois que j'y ai parlé son coeur était mal amanché Sa tête était dans un étau, y'était pas beau Y'avait de la coke dans 'es yeux, y'avait de l'héros dans le sang Y'avait toute son corps qui, penchait par en avant Y'avait le goût de vomir, y'avait envie de mourir Qu'est-ce qu'on fait dans ce temps-là, moé j'avais le goût de m'enfuir Je l'ai laissé tout seul au bord de la catastrophe Pardonne-moé, pardonne-moé, j'ai pas voulu, j'ai pas voulu Pas voulu l'abandonner dans, le moment le plus rough je suis le lâche des lâches, pas le tough des tough Moé je fais mon chemin dans la foule en espérant qu'une chose C'est de voir ton visage ou de t'entendre crier Avec ta voix immense et ton coeur qui explose Aidez-moé, aidez-moé REFRAIN 2x Moi je fais mon chemin Moi je fais mon chemin À la page des textes de Les ColocsÀ la page des textes

humor Humor - Laughter is the best medicine! Steven Wright Quotations All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand. You know how it is when you go to be the subject of a psychology experiment, and nobody else shows up, and you think maybe that's part of the experiment? I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met. OK, so what's the speed of dark? Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. I went to a restaurant that serves "breakfast at any time". Hard work pays off in the future. Everyone has photographic memory. Shin: a device for finding furniture in the dark. Many people quit looking for work when they find a job. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. 24 hours in a day... 24 beers in a case.... coincidence? When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded. What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

FECAL FACE DOT COM Watch an Impromptu Medieval Icelandic Hymn Sung in a Modern Train Station - Atlas Obscura Imagine making your commute home, bracing yourself for the human tsunami that is sure to greet you when cutting through a busy train station. Only this time, instead of the din of a bustling crowd, you’re met by an angelic chorus. Fellow travelers silently wave you over to an open, domed hall, where the angels stand, singing in a semicircle. One is drinking a beer. Okay, they’re not actually angels. Boosted by the success of the evening, the six men broke into song. Despite the fact that this song, “Heyr himna smiður,” dates to around 1208 and the Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof station was built in the mid-19th century, the sound and the space seem perfectly suited to one another. Update (10/5): This article identifies the train station as the Hauptbahnhof station.

Chinese Factory Worker Can't Believe The Shit He Makes For Americans FENGHUA, CHINA—Chen Hsien, an employee of Fenghua Ningbo Plastic Works Ltd., a plastics factory that manufactures lightweight household items for Western markets, expressed his disbelief Monday over the "sheer amount of shit Americans will buy." Chen makes yet more stupid crap for consumers overseas. "Often, when we're assigned a new order for, say, 'salad shooters,' I will say to myself, 'There's no way that anyone will ever buy these,'" Chen said during his lunch break in an open-air courtyard. "One month later, we will receive an order for the same product, but three times the quantity. How can anyone have a need for such useless shit?" Chen, 23, who has worked as an injection-mold operator at the factory since it opened in 1996, said he frequently asks himself these questions during his workweek, which exceeds 60 hours and earns him the equivalent of $21. "I hear that Americans can buy anything they want, and I believe it, judging from the things I've made for them," Chen said.
