Can't you tell, it's obviously about how the entire world is really crappy, like being unable to open a can of spagetti o's only to realize that they have turned black. So the only thing to do is to disrepect the world by pissing and .... lady ejaculating (?) on it and rubbing it all over your shirt.
And the best part is, I'm not even an english major. I just entirely talked out my ass.
"Hipster" is the new "emo" in the sense that it's a term used by people who are largely unaware of its original context and instead use it with a wholly negative connotation to disparage others until the inevitable day that the over-saturation of the word causes those clinging to it to be seen as even sadder than the group they were trying to put down in the first place.
I just wanted to ask, why does the original context matter? Emo has several different meanings, and the only time I've ever heard anyone bring up original context when having that discussion, they almost always followed it up with "and that's why X definition of emo is wrong." Just wondering, I don't mean to be rude or anything.
My uncle is huge in the Chicago art community. He probably knew about this, and I would ask him about it, but there's something kind of repellent about the idea of approaching your uncle and godfather and being like, "So I saw this video called Interior Semiotics, in which..."
On another note, I hope that girl knows a good OB-GYN.
I think the idea was to do something gross, weird, and pointless, then challenge the audience to find meaning in it. Like "everything is horrible, including this performance, but you fuckers are stuck in here with me so you'd better find some way to enjoy it".
Are we really sure those were hipsters there to take it seriously, and not just hipsters who were, as any of us would have, just gawking at the crazy lady?
Joe's video is just performance art. Performance artists do stuff like this all the time. It's not my thing, but there's tons of it out there.
I think the element of being a hipster that's annoying is invidious behavior. Not everyone can be Andy Warhol and if you try and you fail, you're a hipster.
According to one of the Forever(21) curators, Hiba Ali, the terms “pizza slut†and “Forever(21)†have a deliberate meaning:
Pizza slut is a classification of the the idea of in-differentiation of progress that is aging. The blatant idea that we will never have that idealized fantasy realized that no one will be forever young or 21. These processes are professed through kitsch scheme overlaid with truths and desires of the individual artists featured in this exhibition.

That Indian guy in the background is definitely just gawking.
That's Weird. To the best of my knowlege, The Pizza Slut works in the Pizza truck(You know, those mobile vans that sell food? One of those) Just as a Gut slut works in a Gut Truck, a Pie Slut works in a Pie Truck. It's simple, really. Further, anyone who is a bad cook(in those vans or otherwise) Is a Tucker Fucker, Fitter and Turner(Fitting good food into pots and turning it into shit), Or a Ration Assassin.
Last night I went to a friend's birthday party, where almost everyone was absoloutely a hipster -- ironic facial hair, tight pants, suit jackets, turquoise socks, the works. And everyone was super nice, and, aside from the way they were dressed, no one was douchey at all. Except this one girl kept taking way too long to take her turn at Scrabble.
I can't stand Staedtler, except erasers. I use one of them long ones, with the extendy doodad. For writing utensils, the Sharpie Pen is awesome. Pilot Hi-Techpoint V5 is good, but V7 bleeds through like crasy. Pencils, honestly I can't tell the difference between mechanical pencils (as long as they aren't plastic) - it's the leads that make a difference. For that, Papermate.
Also... Hipster thread... Office supplies.
Edit: Read back, I understand how we got here now. Conversations are weird.
I also think the Professor Brothers (and Brad Neely in general) are awesome.
Also on the topic of Hipsters (obligatory related content?): My LAN/D&D; group of friends occasionally call me a hipster because I skateboard. I've mostly dismissed this as joke, but sometimes they seem serious. Maybe they've got their definition wrong? I'm generally nicely kempt, wear skate shoes for practicality (but actually tie them tight enough to stay on :0), wear jeans that fit, dislike name brands but happen to have a few as they were hand-me-downs... I'm not very creative and don't draw or make annoyingly trendy photographs of everything ever.. Yeah, they've got it wrong.
