The kids don't stand a chance

This article from anti-semitic anti-establishment mag Adbusters has been causing a stir among various fixie-apologists around town.

Style-wise, it's weak sauce, though this one line is Hall of Fame shit:

The dance floor at a hipster party looks like it should be surrounded by quotation marks.

And for a piece calling out the fundamental shallowness of of hipster culture, this ain't exactly the Mariana Trench of insight. Perhaps that's the point-how do you deconstruct something so empty?-but strip away the academic jargon and all that's left is grumpy old man kvetching about the kids. And that's my shtick, motherfucker.

I suppose internet success is measured by the length of the comments thread, making this article the damn DaVinci Code, but that's not much to hang your hat on. I have some limited first-hand experience with how touchy hipsters in this town can be: getting their goat is not much of a challenge.

In conclusion: someone please please punch this guy.

*Speaking of hipsters, this site is either the worst perpetrator of hipster crimes or the most brilliant satire since that Obama New Yorker cover. In this po-mo age, I'd say its both.
