we dont know what takes up most of his body mass however. and if he had 3% body fat, any significant amount of cardio would burn off any muscle

If sean is semi funny, I'm happy to be stupid... though nothing could be more stupid than that Jordy Laforge visor you're sporting. Unless you lost a bet, that makes us stupid brothers.

[crookedking]

i gotta say that visor does look pretty dumb.

[Drazkers]

The visor glasses are incredibly terrible and tacky, its amusingly bad. Was partying around Shinsaibashi(Osaka) when a stagette group came by dressed in some crazy 80's stuff, I had the glasses for about five minutes before I headed off. You think people are actually walking around with these on and taking themselves seriously?

[crookedking]

i had a feeling deep inside it was meant to be a joke.

[ppcock]

it's like a bukakke visor, but only for your eyes.

I saw someone walking down Granville the other day who looked pretty serious, and he wasn't a crackhead who just raided Value Village. Buddy looked fresh from Kits. I'd change your profile pic before people give you credit for rekindling the trend. If you haven't noticed, the '80s are coming back in a big way, no irony. Check Lady GaGa for proof (she was on So You Think You Can Dance last night).

draz has had that before the dance show.. she's biting his steez

Did you seriously just compare Animal Collective to Aphex Twin?

Ravers generally agree on Kraftwerk too, but you see, hipsters generally agree on Velvet Underground. Grok?

No, you were the one who challenged him and he didn't back down. He invited you to continue with your challenge. If you don't follow through, you're the one bitching out.

Why would I be the one to make the effort? A real man would've just PM'ed me a time and place instead of merely puffing his chest in front of everyone. I don't fight bitches. They ain't sh!t but tricks and hoes.

Or maybe he was damn sure that when it came down to it, you wouldn't ever bother because you're a little pussy hiding behind your internet handle and wouldn't follow through on his invitation. Only one running away from this fight is you.

God, an internet pissing match and a threat and THEN you have the gall to make claims on what a REAL man would do?

You remind me of this fucker on LoungeX who said that I was full of shit because I called him a tool online and he was all "you'd never do that in real life, i'd sock you in the face"

I met him that night, and my first words to him were "Hi, you're a tool."

Face was still intact by the end of the night. Talking shit is one thing, actually following through on the threats that YOU made is another. You're every bit as much of a pussy as that other guy was. If you want to prove me wrong, go ahead and PM Sean and then we'll see who the "REAL" man is.

Well, what's the point of telling someone you ignore them when you answer every post they make? You can't even follow through with ignoring me, so why would you think you'd be able to pressure me into following through on a threat HE made is beyond me. He wanted to shoot me in the face, after all, and all I said was "hipsters suck." Get real.

No, I didn't. Did you just compare the Velvet Underground to Kraftwerk?
Please, put me back on ignore. I miss the old days.

You missed the post where I took you off my ignore list, but that's nice.

Did you just compare the Velvet Underground to Kraftwerk?

Yes, I totally did. They both spawned their own respective scenes. Kraftwerk spawned the entire Electronic Dance scene and Velvet Underground spawned the entire Post-Punk/Indie scene. Also, they were all about performances including full visual stimuli and innovative sound breaking past what ANYBODY ever did previously. Pretty safe comparison if you ask me.

You mentioned Aphex as something that most ravers agree on. This much is true, but you also cited Animal Collective as proof that hipsters can't agree on anything. So whereas hipsters disagree on Animal Collective - they're really not of consequence to the hipster scene anyways, are they? - they do agree on those staple groups that have formed the scene into what it is. Velvet Underground is a perfect example of that. Your argument has no parallel and therefore is baseless. A lame-ass emo band that anybody who's NOT a hipster would downright loathe is not a good example of what the scene agrees on.

Please, put me back on ignore. I miss the old days.

Fuck no, this is entertaining. It's funny watching you try to act like you know music when in reality you're just a trendy hipster. And then you act like hipsters are the worst thing ever to come about in culture. ZOMG IRONY YOU'RE SO HIP. Way to be a stereotype.

BTW I don't do windsheilds, and I really enjoy waking people up with that shirt so it was worth it.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA

No, I saw it. I also saw several posts where you said "gosh, I'm glad mangle is on my ignore list" for months before that post. Commit to something bigger than yourself, man. The cosmos will thank you.

[ebbomega]

Yeah, then I saw a bunch of the ridiculous posts you were making in this thread, laughed my ass off and decided to be entertained by you for a bit longer. This happens. Even Markpaul made it off my ignore list for a while.

How is an ignore list bigger than me? Really man, there's convictions, and then there's an internet killfile. One has consequence in life. I'll let you figure out which one that is.

[ebbomega]

But, uh, how about keeping to the discussion instead of piddling about my ignore list? Or is semantics all you have left?

As well he should. He's the man. But I agree, let's get back on topic (after you went back a page and resurrected the fistycuffs BS).
-----------------------------
Hipsters are a social cancer and most of us are hipsters. The average FnKer cares more about shoes than politics, and sh!ts on anyone who points that out. I know you're not going to listen to me, but by reading this, you agree to think about it (at least subconsciously) the next time you look in the mirror. Ask yourself where your life is going, where do you see yourself in ten years, what will your legacy be after you're gone, what have you or will you achieve that will effect the lives of everyone around you, how will you be remembered. 100% right or essentially wrong, this article was written for a reason, if only to make you think about how you lead your life, how you interact with the world or fail to. I know I have a long way to go. This year, I went vegetarian and I'm going back to school. It's a start. Peace.

[ebbomega]

lol. Chicken Soup for the Hipster Soul.

BTW, the article was written to sell magazines. Adbusters, while witty, is really just a lot of self-important rhetoric with little-to-no-substance. Maybe if they did something to change the world, or offered some constructive alternatives to consumerism rather than just bitch about how horrible everything is (kinda like hipsters) I might appreciate it more. Basically all through high school I idolized it, and then in the subsequent years more and more saw it for just empty whining.

Michael Mann opened my eyes to this. Incidentally, he was also the first person I met who wore emo glasses.

I really just want to reflect on the accuracy of this statement. They really are all communications majors. They say they want to work at magazines.

Have you ever read the bible? It's a series of poorly written/translated children's fables, and people die for it. I think discussing a magazine article relevant to the current state of affairs is slightly less unusual than killing people for reading out of the wrong book. Spanish Inquisition?
