I fucking love Henry Rollins! I would think he would be a hipster's wet dream: he's extremely smart, edgy, made his own way, played old school punk rock, and is generally an awesome dude.

Are some of you guys kidding? These people were being dicks. "Get in the Van!", "Trying to hang out and you're filming here"? Jesus, these stupid, spoiled fuck kids need to get the hell over themselves. Rollins was off in the back out of the way of their nice environment and they had to go calling. Rollins had every right to go and do what their parents probably never did -- make their lives uncomfortable for minute, give them something to think about other than their fucking trust fund.

He's a little full-on

Henry I have met personally several times in Austin. He is a real person, NOT a hipster. I find him to be a bit ego oriented but that is the nature of the beast for performers. He is in fact the anti-hipster which is what makes him so cool.

hipsters are shitty people. they just do things to be cool. they will only donate to charity if its cool to do so. they treat other people like shit half the time. they dont except deference unless its hip to do so, and if they dont know they will just criticize. the word hipster should always be followed by douche bag. theyre the equivalent of the urban dictionary in human form.

[TripoVision]

oh no he criticized a hipster! pull out all the stops! thats not cool... if she liked him she would have said something like you're awesome. hipsters try to be very specific when they try to demean you. if they're being really specific when they call out something about you that when you know their being disrespectful. but on the other hand it wasn't . that mean. you have to dress trashy ,have tattoos , think your better then everybody else, and be in your 20s.

How seriously hypersensitive must you be if you take "Get in the van!" as some sort of heckling?  The girl was clearly just trying to show everybody that she knew the book, fer crying out loud...

A middle-aged man at peace with himself and the world wouldn't have assumed the worst right off the bat there.

that hipster looks like she mighta had a touch of down syndrome... You just had to fuck with her though, huh Rollins? sort yourself out mate
