Bored hipsters wanted
Dr Mumbo likes keeping an eye on Source Bottle as a hint on what features people are working on. But this callout from design agency Josephmark has him stumped:
Can you put on a pretentious, bored, nonchalant, AMERICAN accent? Think Hipster. Record your vocal chords and send them through by Wednesday 10th November – you will be paid in hugs, glory and cash.
Some of the lines will be:
“People think I’m rude because I don’t respond to them… but it’s just because I have nothing to say to them.”

I liked that tumblr before it was cool.
I preferred Mumbrella when it was in print.
Sounds like a great campaing – bashing hipsters is so cutting edge I’m sure any brand would be super excited to be associated with it.
The ‘hispster’ is dead. What was the hipster? Great article here http://nymag.com/news/features/69129/
I just finished reading Hell’s Angels by Hunter S Thompson, and constant reference is made to hipsters, beatniks, squares etc. (I got to wondering whether hipster was the origin of the word hippie, and wikipedia says it is.) So. umh, the NY article chronology looks a bit short-sighted to me…”..evolution from1999-2009″
did you read past the first page of the article?
clearly not!
I liked this song before everyone else did – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVmmYMwFj1I (If you haven’t seen it – the d!ckhead one, worth a look). Bloody catchy tune too.
On the article, wouldn’t they be better actually getting real Americans to do it? Y’know, bored ones. I feel sorry for whoever has to sit through and listen to the impressions…
Hipsters are so overrated. I’m actually a fan of “hipster douchtard” myself.
