@crossi1016 I think he meant that "hipsters" are jumping on the bandwagon by liking the song, while "true fans" liked the song the second the song was released. Something like that?
@DinofFire pffft i don't believe you heard it two years ago. just saying.
also, why are you trying to deny people good music? who cares when people discovered it? do whatever the hell you want to be happy and stop labeling everyone, for fuck's sake.
I'm glad that I can say what I feel like on this board, because it's literally the same as everyone else. This is an insanely beautiful song, with a video that captures and even enhances the meaning of the song. Christopher Owens, thank you.
by the way what's up with everyone always saying "hipsters hipsters hipsters" blah blah blah. don't you realize that that word means nothing? it is not a style or fashion? can you define any specific haircut or clothing style that is universal to a "hipster"? are you just jealous because you wear boring clothes and aren't interesting? your "hipsters" are this generation's visionary artists just like dylan and the band and the beat poets of yesteryear.
@vuvaladusi The way I see it is that hipsters are people who attempt to be artistic and intelligent through fashion and taste. They are trendy motherfuckers who try to present an image. Some of the boldest dressers I know are totally untalented and unintelligent.
They are turning beautiful things into a fad. Of course, our definitions of hipster may be totally different. It's like 'emo.' Some people think that anything expressive is emo. Others think of a certain style and genre of music as emo
@sharkxattackk I don't know if somebody who says, 'you sound like an idiot lol,' with no grammatical sense at all can tell me that I sound like an idiot.
Maybe if you elaborated I could concede your point.
@vuvaladusi haha, not everyone dressing interesting is interesting, by far. there is so much pretentiousness going on there it can be sickening, ofcourse there are people who are for real, but far to less.
I’m a real big fan of Girls and Christopher Owens. I am attempting to start a blog based on music reviews. I just did a review on Record 3, Father, Son, Holy Ghost. It would mean a lot if you all checked it out. thenewmusiccollective.blogspot.com/
no pretensions, just glazed eyes, unkempt hair, the taste of wine, the smell of cigarettes, hole-in-the-wall diners, vintage clothes, guys kissing guys girls kissing girls, watching the sunset at an overlook in the city...not wanting to be anywhere but that moment with your friends...as you leave your self behind. an unfortunately small amount of people in today's world experience anything close to this simple kind of bliss.
@raushkanaush Don't forget plenty of opiates, too. I experienced something close to what you described, but only for a limited time. We had a good 1 year run before people changed paths. I think a lot of people experience our own version of what you described for at least some amount of time in our lives, that golden era.
@Kassxxkelly Maybe not beautiful in the sense of traditionally good looks, but, with risk of sounding cheesy, they seem beautiful on the inside. (I can't believe I just wrote that..)
Probably one of the most moving vids I've ever seen. Breathtaking, especially the end. Unfortunately my life was nothing like this when I lived in SF... I wasn't one of the 'beautiful' people. But this is what it SHOULD have looked like!
The fact that all the actors in this video were good looking people kept me from feeling like it was as humble as it was aiming to be.
I guess it's trying to make us think that these are everyday people like you and me, but maybe next time they should cast a few ugly people too, you know, for realism's sake.
@BChomemovies These aren't actors. The director followed Christopher Owens and his friends around for a night. Pitchfork did a director's cut about it, and if you look at Girls' other videos, which often feature their friends, many of the people in this video make appearances. Have faith.
Life is an endless struggle without a destination because the place we really seek does not have a physical address, it's not a question of where we are. It's really about WHEN WE ARE.Unless you know time travel, good luck finding that place.
@chaddt When my best friend/bass player Ted died I tried to reach into his casket to reposition his hands so he would go out throwing horns. My brother whispered 'wtf are you doing?' I told him. He then whispered that 'everybody will hear his bon es snapping if I do that.'
I did not do it, but I made a bit of a celebration at his funeral. :-)
GOD DAMN, stop all this talk about hipsters and shit.. WHO GIVES A FUCK! This is great music! just shut up and enjoi it! :)
