i haven't heard as many people use the words 'douche bag' since grade five.
but i'm sure you all know Dan very well and could accurately describe his personality using the small syringe with removable nozzles used for vaginal hygiene and enemas as your tragic attempt at an insult.

maybe we could all just fuck off and be nice sometime.]]>

Wow...this young man who sells jewelry on the street is going to a South American country to see the real world and has revolutionary ideas that could change the world! He goes as far as wanting the global depression to really hit! GROUNDBREAKING

You'll see..He will change the world by giving chocolate bars to kids in Peru and showing them the art of pillow fight! Can't wait for his twitter updates with visions of the new world. And the catastrophe that will follow when dad cancels his credit card...not to worry...everybody will unite and make dinner parties on the street and no one will go hungry :)

idiot.]]>

"And I think that in this day-in-age, with all the things that are going on, once you scrape away that level of profit and money that everybody sees, then they'll actually see the problems. It will bring the people closer to the issues and hopefully force them to act."

Good thing he's doing his part to bring on said depression by SELLING JEWELERY ON THE STREET.  Cuz if we were all smug, gypsy-hipsters the world and the economic situation would be in a much better place. You could pay for a sandwich with a song and hugs would be the going global currency.  What an asshole.]]>

Tron, your no fun! :( Next time there is a pillow fight I'd like you to come, I think you'd have a lot of fun smashing people's faces and doing something out of the ordinary.]]>

There's a lot more worthy things out there to be angry and passionate about. Spouting anonymous vitriol from your computer at some misguided idealist who dreams of visiting Peru is a waste of time and space. The "hipster hate" here is absolutely ridiculous and laughable. ]]>

@ warmflash's comment

The pillow fight and subway dance party stuff stems from of the new crop of younger, kinda rave-y (it's back) kids. I think hipters would feel too cool for those things.

And nothing wrong with em--just silly fun.

I agree with you to an extent, but your bitterness seems to spill unnecessarily into criticising just fun social events.]]>

I shouldn't have said "the true face," that was incorrect.

You're clearly just a bunch of angry people who think the city belongs to you.]]>

I heart BlogTO and the judgmental pricks who post here. Thank you for the enjoyable, amusing entertainment. While you guys are busy whining about "hipsters", I'm enjoying the diversity of this city. 

As an old university friend used to say, "it takes all kinds".]]>

I'm not going to hate on someone for being a hipster, but I will say that Dan, man, you've got to see how this recession affects more than just rabid consumers and upper class yuppies. It's like saying "Hurricane Katrina was great because it taught Americans a lesson about the follies of their government" without looking at the suffering caused and lives lost. 

The people inhabiting the lowest rungs of our society shouldn't have to suffer just so the upper rungs can learn, and celebrating that dynamic shows whose side you're on. That kind of attitude reduces a very hard situation for a lot of people - people who are losing jobs, welfare, healthcare, the ability to support their families and keep their children, the finances to eat healthy and not work themselves into an early grave - into nothing but a learning opportunity for middle-to-upper class white people to get introspective about their consumptive lifestyle. Can you see how that's deeply problematic?

I know there's a lot of people out there who aren't really feeling the effects of this economic climate yet - I count myself among them, and I'm guessing you might be one too - but don't let that fool you into thinking the effects of this recession on a huge population of people aren't staggering, severe, and huge blow to human rights and well-being - and they'll only get worse. 

Maybe this recession will indeed be a wake up call to privileged apathetic people - I'm admittedly skeptical, research indicates people get more racist and sexist and traditional during economic strife, not less - but it's also going to cause life-long disadvantages in poorer communities. Sure, ponder the effects of this recession on those who will still manage some economic stability, but also consider what this recession will do to our most vulnerable.]]>

Yeah I wish these hipsters would go home with their hipster hangouts (pretty much every place reviewed by this site).

Americans have a wannabe ghetto problem. Toronto has a wannabe hipster problem. I am not sure which is worse. 

I am creating a charity called "Move Hipsters Out" that helps hipster adjust to normal life and into the tax system along with their hangouts and heavens. So far I have got McDonald's, Walmart, Tim Horton's as donors. Starbucks denied the donation request.

I want to license the following as a mission statement:
"This douche bag is a run of the mill Hipster. The beard, the keffiyeh, the unbearable self importance. And of course, like all Hipsters, he comes to the big city from some shitty town on the outskirts of nowhere, looking to make his " artistic socially responsible " statement. Oi Vay. I'm sure Mom and Dad are paying for the loft and the Liberal Arts Degree.

I'm so sick of Hipsters vomiting all over Kensington Market and Ossington every weekend. I can't be the only person tired of these douche bags and their pillow fights, subway dances, yard sales and cans of PBR.

Please Hipsters, pack up your American Apparel, vintage bullshit and buy a one way ticket home. Or move to " Billy-burg " and get it over with.

You don't bring anything to the city. "]]>
