I actually love the idea behind the song and how watsky literally made the whole song to address accusations towards him of being a hipster

@dominickstewart433 6 лет назад

And part of it is that he is a little bit of a hipster.

As someone who's seen my neighborhood get gentrified it kinda breaks your heart to see all those memories and all those people gone. This song is a masterpiece, the metaphors couldn't have been more accurate.

I have spent the vast majority of my life living and growing in Newark NJ... The hardest thing I've ever done was try to explain to someone how fucking weird it is that there is now a Whole Foods on downtown Broad Street. I was in a bar and the bartender got it, but this townie absolutely could not see the problem

Why is everyone saying this song's cheesy or it has no variety in the rhythm? I think it's still a sick beat, and the references just make. It all the more funnier. My favorite part was when the hipsters started singing, without realizing that they were insulting themselves

@private2809 2 года назад

Like most things George and Chinaka do, this is nothing short of brilliant. This song was a killer piece of multi-faceted social commentary before it the video brought it to a whole new level with the zombie tie-in. So good! Keep it coming, Watsky.

Seriously guys. Starbucks and goat cheese EVERYWHERE. You know how many people have told me about Syria in the past 8 days? Seriously, if I hear 'I texted Hati' one more time, I'm gonna freakin break inside.

@deepphried7541 10 лет назад

Did anyone else notice the piano playing under the music following the staredown of Hipster Watsky and Chinaka? It added a whole level of nuance to the last part of the song. I mean, it's a song about a hipster zombie apocalypse and still finds a way to make an emotional connection in even the tiniest ways. As is said, little things can make a big difference. This is why I love Watsky.

@deepphried7541 10 лет назад

Also, if you pay attention. The moment he starts rapping after he's infected is RIGHT at the 4:20 mark. Blaze it.

As a bay area resident who's watched San Francisco gentrify faster than caviar, I gotta say, the city I love has swarmed full hipsters. I want to save my hood but it's got so much hipster presence I'd take genocide to clear it.

@bobdole4916 8 лет назад

+Dakoda Vaerus I'm lucky enough that San Jose gets left alone. We're the bigger city in area and population, but we're not cool or trendy enough, so even when they live here they go to SF or Oakland for their fun.

@UnfortunatelyTheHunger 8 лет назад

I think this song is about two things. First, frustration over upper-middle class, (mostly) white people gentrifying traditionally black/Latino neighborhoods and appropriating their culture. E.g., Watsky had a chip on his shoulder over people pronouncing Latino communities in L.A. with an exaggerated Spanish dialect, even though the actual Latin Americans living there pronounced them the American English way. This would explain the line "I'm like, "hola Mama; I'm your Papa; Can I please have DOS DORRRRRRRRRRR-CHATAS?!"" Second, how the definition of the word 'hipster' had become so broad, it could be applied on anyone. It can refer to being into retro-stuff, rejecting the mainstream, following a certain style or brand, pretentious academics, pretentious anti-academics or the gentrifying class mentioned in the paragraph above, or it could be neither of those and something else completely. It was up to the point that Watsky himself could be defined as a hipster.

@MaxMiller94 10 лет назад

Definitely the sickest video off Cardboard Castles, and one of the best songs on it as well. The truth is that gentrification is a huge problem, and Watsky addresses it so eloquently here, even admitting that he, in appropriating hip hop as it were, and indulging in the culture of white trans-cultural subversion. I also love the caricatures of hipsters. They are so detailed, even down to the Coachella wristband.

@StrangePowers123 10 лет назад

@StrangePowers123 10 лет назад

***** Touché. ;-) Well, to me, the point is killing a hipster won't change a damn thing, you have to save your hood by changing your own behaviour.

@StrangePowers123 10 лет назад

Killing criminals? Wouldn't the people doing the killing of criminals be criminals as well...?

@StrangePowers123 10 лет назад

Yeah, I assume you live in the USA, I heard they have outdated practices like that over there. It doesn't work, turns governments into killing machines... Glad I don't live in a place where things like that are happening.

@AdderMoray 10 лет назад

Strange Powers No, the song is about the gentrification of poor minority neighborhoods in the US that ends up skyrocketing rent and the cost of living and forcing out the residents whose families have lived there for generations. Also with a bit of cultural appropriation thrown in for good measure.
