Video Exclusive: Girl Walk // All Day Goes Underground In Chapter 7

Goddamnit, how hard is it to push "publish" on Vimeo! I can't believe they took this Friday off. It's not even a real holiday.

Are there really 29 parts to this thing?? I watched the one last year and the first couple here and got bored.

Please make it stop.

Did someone force you to go this site, click play, and then refuse to let you turn it off until you'd watched it all the way through?

LOOK AT ME. WHILE I DANCE IN YOUR FACE. PLEASE. PAY ATTENTION TO ME WHILE I EXPRESS MYSELF THROUGH THE ART OF DANCE

* THE FART OF DANCE

the joke is on the friends of these people who are going to be obligated to watch the whole thing in one sitting.

Man I thought I was a cynical bastard, but there are some really harsh people here! While generally not a fan of dance, how can you not see the joy in this? And if you can't, why the heck would you spend the time to watch it?

oh look more talentless self absorbed pretentious douchebaggery

"talentless" is unfair, but the rest is pretty accurate.

ok replace talentless with annoying, entitled, hackneyed, manjinaed eyeball rapists

And ladies and gentleman, "The Real Cannibal" has officially jumped the shark of snark by attempting to construct the participle of "mangina" as "manjinaed" and thus insult something.

I like Girl Talk. In the beginning I liked this project; however, it quickly became tired. I agree with the assessment presented by someone else, in the comment section of an earlier installment, that it largely gains its effect by the juxtaposition of the girl, or whoever, dancing and everyone else going about their business. Namely, it has that "Hey! Look at me and how spontaneous and special I am" air about it, although it is surely constructed and not as spontaneous as it would like to suggest. Still, disliking something doesn't mean I don't respect another person's attempt to create something, even if I dislike it. I can analyze what I do not like without being vitriolic.

This is where "The Real Cannibal" missteps. He or she has been trolling from Chapter 1 on... It leads me to wonder why such hate for hipsters, for creative processes (successful or otherwise), for hipsters (yeah, no one likes hipsters, whatever the referential ability of said word, but most of us have our own lives to worry about) that you need to express the same general opinion for every upload? Was your mother raped by a hipster and you are the avenging bastard of that union? Is your (micro)penis laughably small so you need some way to make yourself feel big? Were you forced to be the ironic guinea pig of a government experiment in which they, in fact, gave you a mangina?

Oh, damn, I sank to your level with that final round of questions. Oh well.

"Was your mother raped by hipsters?"

No, my neighborhood was.  My ears and my eyes are when I walk outside.

As for sinking to my level, I think you passed me on that with your whiny little douchebag manifesto.  Which makes me know that you are a hipster and therefore defending this garbage.

It's interesting how you feel the need to call everyone who likes this a hipster.
“Irony’s useful for debunking illusions, but most of the illusion-debunking in the U.S. has now been done and redone. Once everybody knows that equality of opportunity is bunk and Mike Brady’s bunk and Just Say No is bunk, now what do we do? All we seem to want to do is keep ridiculing the stuff. Postmodern irony and cynicism’s become an end in itself, a measure of hip sophistication and literary savvy. Few artists dare to try to talk about ways of working toward redeeming what’s wrong, because they’ll look sentimental and naive to all the weary ironists. Irony’s gone from liberating to enslaving. There’s some great essay somewhere that has a line about irony being the song of the prisoner who’s come to love his cage.”
-David Foster Wallace

But I'm a hipster so what would I know...

as a hipster you would know all about irony...

look out! you're veering off of the bicynical lane!

No, no ambiguity or doubt about it. I am cynical (though I like to believe in the original sense of the word as it applies to a general conditional rather than picayune instances - i.e., this series). I simply appreciate cynicism as a discipline. There is certainly no equivalency between cynicism and trolling. One is, in its stricter sense, a school of thought; the other is simply a tool of, well, tools and has the same "Look at me!" (or, "Argue with me!") quality that is being derided in this series. With that said, your quip of "bicynical lane" made me laugh (no snark) and I like the wordplay.

and the point is ??  other than to annoy the public ??

We're almost a fifth done with the series! Only 29 parts left :(
