I'm not a "hipster"

that's too mainstream, I call myself something different, you probably haven't heard of it

[HighWireFilmsChannel]

@jfpacelli

Very nice.

[bassmanjake666]

wow i dunno why but for some reason that just depressed the shit outta me

[HighWireFilmsChannel]

@bassmanjake666

I think that means it was a success, right?

[Yetiman223]

@MackABeeny, in all honesty I can't say what it does or does not mean. Everyone will interpret it differently, as they should. But I can almost guarantee this song is not about "how much hipsters suck". IMO the song is about growing up and trying to find your niche in life. It plays off common threads that almost every middle class kid sees or experiences. I think it's a great song but it really sucks to see people jump on the "OMG HIPSTERS RUIN EVERYTHANG!!!1" bandwagon.

What part of Alberta you guys are from? Really good beat and great lyrics! Thoroughly enjoyed!

[digne8]

whaat. why do i feel this song is telling me that the quest for happiness is futile?... :(

[jenbynalimgs]

I find that all the choices made described in the song seemed justified, at the time at least. It's all impulses and thoughts that have crossed all of our minds in similar generations/economic backgrounds. It's a matter of what we act on. The fact that the person gained such self-awareness at the end of the video is a part of the story that only the lucky can come to, as messed up as that seems. It's just natural parts of growing up. Everyone cries about it, if they're paying attention.

I'M NOT A HIPSTER

[bubsadoozy]

Good lyrics but I'm not a fan of the singer. He comes off so arrogantly. 

[TimbuckRules]

Not a hipster, but this was great
