kill all the white people and shoot them up with heroin and lsd

Ariel Pink is making it very hard for me to love him. I saw him life and there were moments of pure unadulterated genius. But the whole hipster aura really, really rubs me the wrong way. And his fanbase seems to consist of functionally retarded people.

@ragnare you're a pussy

[connorwood83]

stop bitching about hipsters. they reason they clog up these events and this music is because the current generation is culture starved, so whenever anything as great as ariel pink comes along, even mildly culturally aware youth are eager to attach themselves to something even the slightest bit fun, intelligent, or humanistic. this is because they aren't fun, intelligent, or human enough to do it themselves.

@PullingTeeth1

That's very possible

@ragnare

Well you´re retarded as well since you´re obviously a fan of his, but so am i so we can all be friends.

I think Ariel's fan base is like this because his music is still (undeservedly) "underground." Whatever. If it wasn't for artists like him I wouldn't come near these hipsters, but the music is definitely worth it. As long as the bands are richer I can't complain. It takes an ass to cover every seat. :)

I don't know where the labels came from - they were there when I got here.

[Subtropicx]

[talktal]

[AthenaKargeui]

the softboiled eggies rule

[johnsonglock]

No, you're all wrong. If you go to an Ariel Pink show, no doubt about it, there will be these kind of people there. But it will be fun! (And if you don't like fun, then you're the so-called-hipster!) Pink's music is about having fun, dancing, singing along, but also relating to the music, and deep messages of the lyrics....
