GUSTO is a NYC-based graffiti writer who bombs a lot. He created the “Official Survival Guide to New York” poster and here it is, presented without comment (kinda), cause I still have no idea what the fuck a “hipster” is except for it being the most inane word in the English lexicon.
He sounds like a capital Prick… Why no Animal comment???
He sounds awesome.
WRONG GUSTO……THIS GUSTO IS FROM THE BX…THE OTHER CAT IS FROM LA WHO HITS THE STREETS…NOW YOU KNOW…..
^what a toy^
This is stupid, unnecessary, ignorant, and not funny at all.
Awww, Zoe is butthurt.
Deal with it bitch.
Shave your armpits, Zoe. Say hello to soap and a razor. And when will you be moving back to Butt Cheek Hills, Wiscohiowasota?
This is ill informed and like, so 2008.
Like yah! Want some Artisanal Hummus?
Drop dead hiptard. I hope bull-queers break out of prision, break into your apartment and ass rape you.
This is fucking funny. I dig it.
If you don't know what hipster means, you're probably one. its the idiots that claim its overused or out of date that walk around with their smugness looking like idiots. Get over yourselves.
Possibly. Or maybe it's the people whom are preoccupied with labeling others (solely for negative purposes) that should drop the tropic…
Topic*
It's not a preoccupation with labeling others. If it walks, talks and behaves likes a hiptard, then it most likely is a hiptard. I've noticed several methods employed by hipsters online when they seek to divert any negative comments or attention from themselves. What they're really saying is "Pleeeeease stop saying mean things about us":
a. "Are we still talking about hipsters in [insert year]?"
- This tactic plays on the whole "You're late/that's played out" thing. This tactic is only effective on other hipsters and those (due to little or no self-respect) who would want to be hipsters.
b. "We shouldn't label people"
- Another obvious "stop saying mean stuff about us" deflection tactic. When a hipster says something along those lines, you know there's real bullshit behind it.
c. "What is a hipster"
- Even though the hiptard knows exactly what comes to mind when the term "hipster" is uttered, the hipster attempts to play coy.
The problem with the word "hipster" and the reason why I urge the writers of this site not to use it is because it has no meaning anymore. Sure, I know what the stereotypical meaning of the term "hipster" conjures, but it's been so widely spread out to mean just about anyone who wears Chuck Taylors that its been rendered impotent. I've heard people call bike messengers and graffiti writers hipsters. The word is fucking useless, lazy, and inane. People who collect Japanese toys: hipsters. People who have iPhones: hipsters. People who live in Brooklyn: hipsters. Give me a fucking break. I wish people would stop using it altogether, but if they must, Gavin McInnes offers the best definition: "For those of you old fogies still perplexed by the term, a “hipster” is a young person (between the ages of 18-25) with an enthusiasm for contemporary alternative pop culture, primarily music and fashion."
Gavin McInnes can eat a 30 gallon drum of AIDS dicks. He's the Overlord of hipster douchebaggery and should be fed thru a woodchipper. Most of us are not referring to people who simply sport Chuck T's, own "iGadgets", ride bikes (although fixies are as useless as hipsters themselves) as being a "hipster". It's a combination of factors that make a hipster. Everyone — including you "hipster deniers" also know this. Gavin McInness, really shouldn't speak on "old fogies" since many of today's "old fogies" were punkers, skinheads, goths, headbangers or other subcultural types at a time when being "out of the ordinary" could be very dangerous or even fatal.
In another post I made at Pitch magazine in reference to Kansas City's growing Hipster infestation, I described hipsters as "gentrifying, parentally-funded, entitlement minded, narcissistic, condescending, pseudo-artistic, talentless, attention-whoring, bedbug & beard lice farming, shitty attitude having douchetard poseurs . . ."
I further went on to add,
"Contrary to popular belief, hipsters are NOT creative or artsy. They're also definitely not "hip". They're straight up L7 squares who can't dress. They are "form over substance". Strip away the pretentious exterior and you will find something that re-defines the term "vapid". Their "performance art" is basically attention-whoring "LOOK AT MEEEE!" BS. Hipsters are all about "the appearance of" and how they're perceived by the "normals". They are the ultimate poseurs. Pretentiousness and sneering condescension are to hipsters, what a motorcycle club's colors are to 1%er.
They are culture-vultures of the worst kind and everything about them has been stolen from other subcultures and claimed as their own. If you see a hipster produce anything that shows any sign of talent, you can bet your last dime, he/she plagiarized it. As mentioned before, they are poseurs"
Trust me, if pretending these subcultural cancers didn't exist would make them go away forever, I'd never mention the word or post it online ever again. You mentioned the word hipster as "lazy, useless and inane" . . . that's funny because that describes the average Hipster (as defined on sites such as diehipster.com) to a "T".
If "hipster" isn't appropriate, what DO you call someone who spends their day reading websites like Animal and Pitch, then trolling the comments section of articles about the problems with hipsters ( in cities that they don't even live in)?
To answer your question, hit up diehipster.wordpress.com. Your use of the lame ass "if you bash hipsters, you must be one too" shaming tactic has been noted. Trust me, NO ONE who has anything going for him (especially if the person happens to be all of the things hipsters WISH they could be) wants to be a hipster. The hipster is so low on the subcultural totem pole, they can't look up for fear of a juggalo shitting on them.
I posted as "Mirror Mirror is a Pussy" because the format of this page was all fucked up and I couldn't post a direct reply. Go to the bottom of the page for my original reply. Hipsters === > Woodchipper feet first.
Fuck you hipster. Only a hipster will bitch about someone posting comments about hipster in response to an article ABOUT hipsters. I really wish the "Hipster Grifter" was still around. Even though she was a hipster, she DID play you gumps. On the day of reckoning, I'll be sure to set the woodchipper on the highest setting (as to make it as quick and painless as possible) when it's her tun to be fed through. D I E H I P S T E R . C O M
Readers?
U know this was ironically made by a hipster
All hipsters should die. When will the terrorists get around to hitting Williamsburg?
Send those fucks through a woodchipper!
This list is awesome and totally on point.
I'd like to add: Stay out of Harlem, stop coming into the LES, stop bringing your shitty art galleries to Chelsea and keep the hell out of Queens. You are not welcome in any of those places.
If you are still wearing those thick eyeglasses, have sleeves of tattoos, wear Chuck T's, still wearing your ball-crushing little sister's or GF's skinny jeans that cost $300, still wearing THAT bedbug infested wool cap and that scarf in the summertime, THAT American Apparel zip hoodie, wobbling around on a fixed gear bike you barely know how to ride, carry a murse, sit in pretentious overpriced coffee shops with your Macbook sucking up the wifi all day long, don't shower or shave, talking nonstop about your blog and your unpaid internships that will lead to nowhere except being a chronic intern, wear that ironic "vintage' Che Guevara t shirt you paid $100 for at Brooklyn Flea; newsflash, it's 2012, don't you think that it's time to update your look? It's not unique anymore, it's a uniform. You all wear it every day, and look EXACTLY THE SAME even though you blather endlessly on about how it's unique and quirky and what special artisinal snowflakes you all are.
Maybe at one time you may have thought it was cool (but I doubt it ever was). But now, in 2012, all it says is "I am a pseudo-intellectual pretentious douchebag. I have rich parents who pay for all my richy rich stuff: my overinflated rent, every iProduct in existence, Xboxes and Wii's (I don't have to work much, so I sit around and play lots of video games) bikes, clothes, high end expensive camera equipment, music and DJ equipment(we're all DJs), lots of drugs, and more booze. Please feel free to break into my apartment with my 6 roommates and steal all our shit. Our parents will just buy us more of it anyway. Rinse, repeat. It'll give me something else to blog about at the Laptopistan coffee shop."
So yeah. Stay in Williamsburg. Do not venture out of there. And if you're still here (and not back in the flyover land where you are actually from) when you get old, stop thinking about moving to Park Slope. It's full to capacity with pretentious old hipster/yuppies.
You asked what you call someone who, in so many words, shits on hipsters in the comments section of an article about hipsters. I’ll tell you who: Someone who reads DIEHIPSTER.COM!
Hipsters are a nationwide problem. One need not live in a Brooklyn to sympathize with a Brooklyn native’s feelings about hipsters. Why? Because hipsters behave pretty much the same no matter where they are.
Be glad you’re only getting bashed online. It could be worse. Sure, it would defintely be satisfying to chin-check a hiptard douchebag and make the cry on the streets, but ultimately it would become boring. Smacking up a hipster doesn’t allow for bragging rights since 99.9% of them are pussies. Hipsterettes are tougher fighters than their (beta – omega) male counterparts.
It doesn't take much courage to threaten people online. I'm sure you are a lot more polite in real life, you coward.
Threat? What threat? You hipsters sure have a persecution complex. Who did he threaten? Do you even know what a threat is? You hipsters are worthless and stupid on so many levels.
Nice use of the pronoun "he". Now everyone will think you're two different people!
We get it, you have a blog called diehipster.com, and I'm sure it's hilarious and really original. Let me guess– you find pictures of people in stupid outfits, then comment on them by adding the suffix "tard" to other words. Sounds awesome man. Kinda like Vice magazine Do's and Dont's, only not really, because only hipsters read Vice. I'm glad someone finally has the balls to stick it to those stupid kids with their blogs and useless shitty attitudes and attention whoring.
Yeah, it was a sock puppet. I also posted as the account you're reading depending on which PC was connected (installing upgrades on one, connected to another). I'm actually surprised you caught it (hipster tend to be slow in the uptake) since I actually mentioned the "mirror mirror is a pussy = ninji612".
Diehipster.com is NOT my blog, but I really wish it were. Hipsters create sockpuppet accounts (pretending to be everything other than the hipster fucktards they are) with the intent of doing e-battle with those "assholes" over at DH. They get their asses handed to them each time. You can stop pretending you haven't been there. You know what goes on and it causes you severe butthurt.
Hipster bashing is simply good natured fun. It feels good, and lord knows, you fucktarded douchnozzles deserve it.
Yeah, it's called a sockpuppet or an "alt". I decide to use a tactic favored among hipsters who visit Die hipster (NOT my blog, but I wish it were) to torment hipsters. Needless to say, I did a much better job with a fraction of the effort. Stop pretending you haven't been there with your "let me guess" comment. You checked it out and told yourself, "I do NOT want to get into it with these people".
“Hipsters are an international problem.” FTFY
I have already spotted bearded, inside scarf wearing people here in Utrecht, one of Netherlands major cities. In the center of the city, there have been popping up a lot of shops which I would describe as hipster. Vintage clothing, coffee serving art galleries claiming “everything is ecological here”, pizza take-out run by people that are clearly not first or later generation immigrants (white as f*ck). etc. etc.
Tonight, on the night before Queensday, they even have a festival ironically called “Kill all hipsters” in a venue nearby.
I guess that New York isn’t the only place this social phenomenom takes place, yet you people seem the most vocal about it. Or maybe NY people are just vocal in general
What threats? Some quotes from diehipster.com:
“Remember you spoiled, no-life experience, mouth breathing, malnourished, ironic, talentless, fly over state, wanna-be urbanites. Stay north of that line. Otherwise I will crack your fucking heads open. You’ve been warned again.”
“Here is my map. I told these fucks to stay above the line. There may be consequences:”
Are these threats or am I somehow mistaken or are these threats “ironic”? Because that would be hilarious and hypocritical at the same time.
I don’t like hipsters and gentrification, but online threats aren’t going to solve anything, the only thing is that DH’s rants can be quite funny. I doubt he has ever pointed a finger towards the people he despises.

Henry Rollins onws all you online, foul-mouthed fucks.
I know it says that Bucky posted this, but I have a theory that Joel hacked his account in an effort to finally kill off commenting on Animal.
Yeah, “hipsters” are annoying when they leech off of every once-cool subculture and play it out to a point where the people who first brought it to their attention don’t even want to be associated with it anymore, but I think most of the hate (at least in NY) has more to do with gentrification (and the undeniably real threat it poses to the natives) than it does with people’s hobbies and sartorial choices. The proof is in the pudding; the dude who made this list has a forearm tattoo, writes graffiti, works for MTV, is still using brass knuckle imagery (!), and describes himself as “an Art Director, Photographer, Interactive Designer, Producer, Blogger and Artist based out of New York”. I have no problem with any of these titles, but had he not been born here, that bio would read an awful lot like a post on diehipster.com. And if you sell your awareness of these subcultures to MTV, knowing full well that they will then broadcast it to legions of impressionable teenagers around the world, you can’t act surprised when they get raped. You were asking for it by the way you were dressed.
*I should probably clarify that it’s the subcultures being metaphorically raped, not the teenagers.
Not really that good a job, since it was immediately obvious. The point is to make people think it’s a different person. And yeah, it actually was a guess, but I suppose I should have done my research before replying; I just checked out the site, and while it is pretty stupid, it’s clearly written by someone much more clever than you.
For something that wasn't much of a good job and a half-assed effort, it certainly fooled you. Hell I even pointed it out in subsequent post. If it were a venomous snake, you'd be in the throes of death right now.
Diehipster's webmaster is very clever. In fact, I will agree with you that he/she is more clever than I with the written word. That's one of the reasons I go to the site. Nonetheless, I'm still leaps and bounds more clever than YOU.
i wanna make "I'll fuck a hipster up" tshirts…alll hipsters must die!!!
I love it. As a native NYer (yes, that means I was BORN here, not that I moved here from the middle of nowhere so I consider myself a NYer), I couldn’t have said it better myself. Hipster have ruined this city. They have taken the authenticity and  neighborhood feel out of NY. I actually miss seeing the crackheads of my youth! At least they were real! Hipsters are causing issues in neighborhoods because they are pushing out the poor and middle class. The people that still live in those neighborhoods feel isolated because the hipsters don’t seem to know how to interact with “real” people. This is particularly an issue when they have to deal with people of color. When was the last time you saw a person of color hanging out on the LES? I had to get out of my old hood because of hipsters and their inability to interact with people who didn’t look and act like them. Hipsters, GO HOME!!!
