wololo faux boho

(this commercial drives home a lot of the points in the somewhat crummy book "nation of rebels" fwiw)

lol, "sustainable vintage."

Also, is post-rock now adopted by hipster culture?

There's an awful lot of people around here who are angered by absolutely nothing.

Ad's shite.

no doubt

Looks like an ad for a cult, except instead of enlightenment you just get to be "cool".

i hate the word 'microbrewery'

What's wrong with microbrewery? It accurately describes a certain type of business.

got home from chappie and saw this on msn: http://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/mensfashion/10-cheap-ways-to-get-the-hipster-look/ss-AA9swam?ocid=mailsignout#image=12

I was just going to post this!

I was hating on Cuckoo videos before it was cool...

It's a advert for a hotel, it's deadly serious.

deadly serious attempt to make some dosh after doing some market research

the parts that come off as piss take are very likely piss takes

that Cuckoo guy seems alright, i like that tune he made up there

I want to like him but something about him strikes me as very effected and douchey. He's like some kind of creepy hippie, or like someone who acts like a stoner because they think it's "cool" somehow but doesn't actually smoke weed. But I really do want to like him. I like a lot of aspects of what he does and I like the overall concept of his videos.

Also.. the hotel has it's own bikeshop, café and tattooist (lolol)

and nowadays you can encounter this kind of asshole in every city, in every country. Thanks globalization.

I was just about to post how this looks exactly like every new and renovated business, district, and neighborhood in Austin, TX. That saddens me. The hyped new developments in a Texan city looking almost identical to those in Scandinavia. That's crazy. So much of new development in Austin, which has always had this ethos and rep of being odd, liberal leaning, counter-culture friendly, and heavy on art and music, looks just like new parts of Dallas or Houston or San Antonio and any other top 50 city in the U.S. that isn't in the rust belt, only with someone figuratively placing a decal that says "KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD" and "LIVE MUSIC CAPITAL OF THE WORLD" so it's "different." If we put a armadillo logo on it, or place cactus plants outside, it'll be authentic!

It's not so much the aesthetics or products or whatever but the bullshit ethos that it's truly unique and local and fitting to the place at hand. It's alarming and absurd how similar this "indie" and "authentic" ventures look the same everywhere. Same with new homes and townhomes, especially in East Austin where a lot of the pre-war and post-war bungalos and garden homes (which are actually quaint, old, and vintage) are often scrapped for modern boxy 3 story behemoths that look plucked straight out of California...well hell, actually most of the people buying and building them are from Cali.

It makes sense, derivative MOR faux epic instrumental rock just pairs so well with this crap.
