it still boggles my mind how many hipster threads there are here or just the high number of non-hipster threads that devolve into that. what do they look like? what do they listen to? delusional shit, like nothing you guys are into can be construed or perceived as "hip"... such as, oh i don't know, collecting rare records or flossing your sneakers? at this point it feels like hipsters calling other hipsters hipsters and it's weird to me how people still get really up in arms about it and put so much self-conscious energy into convincing others that they're not one of them. i can't believe people care so much with the same hipster rant after a few decades of this.
Why is it that you always appear at the end of threads to summarize and make conclusions? You sound like Barney at the end of each episode.
1) Despite having a 2.5 year old, I've never watched "Barney" so your reference flies over my head. I suppose that would make you a Barney-hipster or me disconnected from Barney-isms.
2) I wasn't aware that we had reached the "end of the thread" considering there's now more posts AFTER mine than before it.
3) You're just asshurt that folks are calling you out on what is small-minded thinking. It happens.
No I wasn't. You're the one who's all I looooooove the Boredoms and ain't even get the two albums I name-dropped. Step up yr reading comprehension, Maestro.
i was in line from around 3 to 6:30. when i was about 300 feet from the entrance (20 minutes prior to the start) the cops proclaimed the park to be filled to capacity. i ended up watching the show from the brooklyn bridge.. as did a couple hundred other people. the worst part about this whole thing was seeing the tons of empty spots in the park from the vantage point of the bridge. they could've easily let another 500 people in.

Haha. "Maestro". You sound ridiculous.
Yeah, well, the dude from the Twisted Sister videos doesn't think so.

I've never seen anybody get ass-hurt over a JLR joke.

Guess there's a first time for everything ...
Oops, I did confuse JLR with Solid State 16 so plaese to disregard #3.
Otherwise, I still stand by my Barney-ism disconnections.
Nice try. It was "date with hipster girl" related.
so, they are inconvenient when trying to buy milk but it's OK to fuck them?
HYPOCRITAL HIPSTER ALERT
You don't buy the milk, you suckle it. From the teats. While they knit you a sweater. But that is only if your pimp hand is heavy like transcendental drumming experience.
i guess i can understand calling it a drum circle cause the thing spirals out, but i always thought of drum circles as nothing but congas and bongos where as here there are not only full kits, but vocals, electronic oscillator sounds and other instrumentation such as that 'guitar fence' thing. aren't drum circles only just drums? if you have to compare it to something, it reminds me more of a drumline with the tight snare action, except instead of designating snares and cymbals to separate sections, each person has a full variety of percussion at their disposal.
Are there *ever* shows in New York (BK specifically) that aren't infested with hipsters?
Yes.
From another mb:
"One more thing, I just came from the MC Hammer, MC Lyte, Slick Rick and Dougie Fresh show, where at least 15,000 people filled a football field. The line was more then three times as long as 77 Drum. It was absurd long....but EVERYONE got in, even WITH a Hip Hop appropriate security pat down from Islamic Security provided by a local mosque. Oh, and yeah, this was in one of the last low cost neighborhoods left in Brooklyn that's yet to go through gentrification...meaning the crowd had NYPD out in force. We're not talking condo lofts, we're talking Section8 housing, and this event served the community, so families had something cool to do on a hot Summer night. The whole thing went down without incident. The difference was experienced promoters, community groups, city officials making proclamations, and oh yeah, experienced promoters. It was night and day."

Or perhaps the difference lies in the capacity of the venue?

i saw the here comes the hammer 12" once and there were multiple mc hammers on the cover wearing a leopard leotard with no shirt underneath showing off his physique but with the goofiest smile i have ever seen.
then i turned it over and the back had just that smile tiled all across the back of it, seriously must have been a few hundred just rows and rows of hammer smile.

I read this just after finishing Andr?? Breton's essay on the backlash against cubism. They share some similarities:
The public which cried "Hoax!" -- must indeed have felt frustrated, in some obscure way, as though it had been thrown off balance and deprived of the agreeable repose which it was wont to enjoy in the 'faithful' reproduction of the familiar.
