I am so sick of ubiquitous Pitchfork Media, American Apparel-type nerdy hipness. Is this what the internet hath wrought on our culture–homogenous “quirk”–with its global reach?

—someone break the internet for a few days please.

  3. I admit that I do genuinely laugh at people who wear non-prescription glasses b/c it adds to their “nerd” or “sophisticated” look (well, in their minds it does).

    Fuck sakes, 10 years ago our parents fought with us so we’d wear our prescription glasses just so we could see and read the black board at school properly.

    Now all these pretentious little brats are buying dollar store glasses and think they’re chic and unique and la-geek.

  4. I don’t know if this comment is entirely about fashion so much as an attitude altogether, bands (like so much of the same old indie crap featured in the Coast) etc. All “ironic” nerdyness. All easily forgetable.

  7. Heh, I love seeing people wear fake glasses. What I can’t stand are the ultra tight pants and the shirts. Grow the fuck up and wear something that fits/doesn’t look like it’s made for a 4 year old.

  8. How many hipsters does it take to screw in a light-bulb?

    Some obscure number, you’ve probably never heard of it before.

  12. “homogenous “…..just cut off the “genous” part and that explains the type of guys who shop there.
