Video: L Train Girls Get Their Own Song

Actual L train girls (via Idle Type)

Finally the girls riding the L train are being serenaded to, or perhaps made fun of, it's hard to tell in this age of irony. Anyway, the below song (titled "L Train Girl") is courtesy of Zac Mering and Tyler Thacker, known together as Greatest Hits. Are you a girl riding the L train in Manhattan? Well, this isn't for you; the song namechecks the Bedford, Lorimer, Graham, Grand, Montrose, and Morgan stops.

As a L-train-loving hipster with working eardrums, I am beyond offended by this song and video.

This is such a huge mockery of Brooklyn. And I LOVE that this dumb twat put her finger on the direction board and then in her mouth....

This makes me fucking sick. Fucking hipster trash.

This just plain dumb

Fucking hipsters. They are ruining the L train. I miss the muggers and homeless people who rode this line before these idiots discovered Williamsburg.

seriously a bad bad bad song. Not like Michale Jackson would use the word, but like how a non-pervert child would use the word as an adverb to describe the way in which michale jackson touched him. Are they trying to do some Prince shit, and the purposefully 'vintage' video footage quality sucks. Give it up guys. I'm not usually this harsh on music peoples, but you guys need to understand that when it comes to art, effort IS hip. The chick is sort of cute though.

Of course these fauxhemians are named Zac and Tyler. They are Mommy's precious little creatively unique snowflakes. And exact carbon copies of the rest of the human debris in the neighborhoods serviced by the L
