PSA: Don't Feed The Hipsters

The Trustocorp crew—who when last we checked in were filling stores with fake products like Banko$ (eat the rich) cereal—are back with a new public service sign. It reads: Don't Feed The Hipsters, and is appropriately placed in McCarren Park, where kickball season just began. But let's presuppose someone ignored this warning and did feed the hipsters, what do you think they like to eat? (Asking for a friend.)

    Wow, trying way too hard.

    This is just stupid and it is in now way close to art or even good design for that matter. This 'crew' needs to get back to their day jobs.

    Which again, I hope isn't in the design, art or humor fields.

  • Oh give me a break. If you're commenting on this board, someone out there is labeling you as a hipster right now. "Hipster" is a label that losers made up to separate themselves from someone with a sense of style. It kills me that hipsters now use the term to describe other hipsters who they consider to be posers of hipsterdom. Embrace it. You're a fucking hipster. And that sign sucks. If they'd wanted to make 'real' controversial art it woulda said "Don't feed the Niggers" with a watermelon for the symbol.

    by what logic does commenting on this board make me the butt of someone else's hipster jokes? is this a hipster site? i had no idea.

    that sign definitely sucks, but your idea is farrrr worse and even less clever.

    I say we should feed them... Feed them some fucking knowledge -

    Brooklyn dun changed on a serious level thanks to the Fauxhemian Culture - I don't mind art, and I don't mind culture but the fact of the matter is that a hipsters life doesn't encompass either on a 'real scale'.

    are you guys still talking about hipsters?

  • woodendesigner

    Maybe we can get the city to feed them some of that birth control birdseed so they don't reproduce.

    Hipsters complaining about hipsters.

  • chuzzlewit

    HURP DE DURP DE durp.

  • hard times

    semi-ironic hipster-style art that makes fun of hipsters?? my, what a genius idea...

  • C33

    Do hipsters really wear Ray-Bans?

  • maatthias

    Of course they do.

  • ATrain

    What could be more ironic than SpaghettiOs?

  • TrippinJoJo

    don't forget about american apparel

  • Guest

    That sign is useless. Everyone knows hipsters don't eat. It's the only way they can fit into those stupid skinny jeans.

  • Rocknrope

    Kickball. Christ. That really does say it all, doesn't it?

  • Polite New Yorker

    Agreed. Adults behaving like children are pathetic and a sign of a decadent society in decline.
