I cannot believe the quantity of so called hipsters in Halifax. Dirty, cheap, whiny and with a huge sense of entitlement for EI, government money and cheap housing. Please get a real job because your songs, paintings, sculptures and handcraft suck! —Annoyed By Hipsters

Don’t wish them on work force OP. We’ve got them exactly where we want them. Irritating but harmless.
LOL anybody wanna buy a watercolor?

How many hipsters does it take to change a light bulb? Seriously, I’m asking, because between drum circles and folk-art pottered tea cups that spill everything down your shirt front like you have no lower lip, I just can’t see hipsters working up the gumption or focus to change a light bulb in the first place. Well, maybe if their parents did it, or some sort of social service stepped in, but that’s just getting the job done. The hipsters won’t have done it. Do you see the issue here? Maybe they could discuss it for a while? Write a critique on proposals? Apply for a grant? I don’t know; I’m at a loss here. Suggestions?

Garcon, more ambien.
Why would they get a new job? Maybe their songs, paintings, sculptures and handicraft make them happy. Maybe it’s what they love to do. I’d be the first to admit that I’m not the best musician in the world, but I’d bet I’m better than you, and I have a fun time doing it. Fuck off, OB.
I guess it would depend if it was a resourse- sapping, electricity-hungry incandescent bulb or a poisonous mercury-filled environmental catastrophe compact flourescent one. Then there is always the power-sipping but electronically over-engineered-thus-cost-prohibitive LED bulb.
Of course, all of this is rather a moot point as it would require selling out to the man and purchasing power from that natural-resource-raping corporate conglomerate, NS Power (Emera).
So, unless they can somehow devise a way to generate renewable and sustainable power from something they would have in abundance, like say…the oil build up from their dreadlocked hair or perhaps a way of cleanly combusting ear wax, the question can’t be answered. But then again, here’s another dilemma as it would involve rounds of prototypes and testing, all of which would cost a great deal of money, a.k.a. bank loans and well, let’s not even go there.
It’s a righ’ ker-fuffle, Andy.

since the dawn of time, you and i, and others, are going to have to put up with them. there a few in every generation. and as such,we have to overlook the chaff, to get to the good stuff. and by the way, these douches are the ones that do not lift a finger to try and make society any better than it is.
I love the hipsters in HFX. If everyone was the same it would be a boring world.
I like hot girls in nerdy glasses. Other than that, oh and tattoos, that’s about it.
They do work, OP at HMV! The H stands for Hipster
“I love the hipsters in HFX. If everyone was the same it would be a boring world.”
They ARE the same for fucks sake. They try to have the same glasses, facial hair, pants, haircuts, etc.
Why? How many hipsters are there?
I actually like the hipsters in the city. Refreshing.
… except when they want to fuck with me about Bon Iver and “sticking it to the man” … …
If I had to make an educated guess, troodon, I’d say there were over 9000. 😛 (Disclaimer: I am not the OP)
Statistically speaking, with that many hipsters, we should be having far more spontaneous sock puppet action.
OMG, Ivan—the ‘mods at Hampshire’ refer to a hipster college (no grades, dude!) that is not 10 miles from my house! I’ve been to a few ‘trip or treat’ halloween parties there, but I had no idea this was going on!
My guess is it’s like Skull & Bones. If they want you to join – they approach you.
lol @ Skull and Bones. What would the hipster exclusive club be called? The Ninety Nines? The Anti-corps? The Specs and Dreads?
“We like the cut of your organically grown, sustainably cultivated, fair-trade, hand-made hemp shirt, man….So, like, you wanna join our band, or what, man? Like, we reaaaallly need a drummer.”
candles and sandals? wicks and sticks?
Actually, I know of such a club called the ‘mystical seven’…I suppose the name would be specific to the campus, though…
Vastie – it would have a very obscure name, something you’ve probably never heard of.>; )
