I enjoyed this video. nice work.
February 6th, 2012 at 8:45 PM ^
Nice work.
February 6th, 2012 at 8:46 PM ^
Great music choice! Porter Robinson is amazing! Also very good video
February 6th, 2012 at 8:48 PM ^
It all depends on what the chick I am trying to sleep with at the moment is into. It's called acting. It's awesome.
February 6th, 2012 at 8:49 PM ^
... is actually awesome. 9/10, would show to friends.
February 6th, 2012 at 8:53 PM ^
cus thats not how stereotypes work!
February 6th, 2012 at 9:03 PM ^
Does it matter? Both sides have hot chicks, and as a college aged kid is there really anything else worthwhile about picking a side?
Pretty awesome video, definitely gonna pass this around
February 6th, 2012 at 9:05 PM ^
would watch again
February 6th, 2012 at 9:06 PM ^
Glad to see absolutely nothing's changed since I was an undergrad in the early 90's.
February 6th, 2012 at 9:17 PM ^
It so has too changed. Didn't you notice? Every girl in the video was clothed the whole time!
February 6th, 2012 at 9:11 PM ^
Superb my friend.
February 6th, 2012 at 9:21 PM ^
I actually looked up the bro/hipster guy on facebook and lo and behold, 3 of our mutual friends were what I'd call bros and 3 were what I'd call hipsters. Hmmm.....
February 6th, 2012 at 9:22 PM ^
This prompted me to ask my lady whether I am a bro or a hipster.
She doesn't know. Neither do I. I did graduate from MSU; perhaps that resolves this question. Really I just need a reliable identity; the content of it is secondary to its form.
February 6th, 2012 at 9:30 PM ^
You graduated from MSU so your a hipster?
February 6th, 2012 at 9:31 PM ^
Grammatically you're a hipster. Overuse of inappropriate semicolons. So am I. Intentional fragments. Dramatic.
February 6th, 2012 at 9:39 PM ^
See I'd have thought the MSU association would make me a bro, since we're all "brahs" anyway. I think it's an easy transition. And I do like to unintentionally flatter others by demonstrating my preoccupation with their opinions.
Regarding the semicolons, I find them useful to bring two independent clauses together that are so closely related as to form one sentence, though either could form one sentence on its own. I think I accomplished that here. Maybe not.
I like the fragments. Though I've always been overstated so I probably couldn't pull it off.

"Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college." - Kurt Vonnegut
February 6th, 2012 at 10:15 PM ^
then I better stop and quit trying to show people I've been to college. That man's grammar opinions hold a lot of weight with me.
Good thing I don't care about creativity. Really I just want to accumulate as many positive opinions as possible (I've even manufactured them in the past). Having been to college at one time had a lot to do with that. Christ knows it doesn't take creativity to do that.
February 6th, 2012 at 11:42 PM ^
Definitely a hipster.
February 6th, 2012 at 10:19 PM ^
I use the hell out of semicolons in my writing. It just happens that way. Then again, I hated Slaughterhouse-Five because I had to write a book report on it. Just try finding a particular passage you want to cite when there are four timelines, none of which happen in chronological order. So I always cast a wary eye toward Vonnegut.
February 6th, 2012 at 11:29 PM ^
I question any commenter who claims to "use the hell out of semicolons" but does not use any semicolons to say that.
February 7th, 2012 at 12:38 AM ^
I'll get you good as soon as I think of a witty retort; nothing comes to mind right now.
February 7th, 2012 at 12:27 AM ^
I know a ton of hipsters at MSU. Granted my good friends at state are bros, but everytime I visit there I seem to see a tonnnn of hipsters.
February 6th, 2012 at 9:38 PM ^
Cause I fucking drink until the sun comes up!
February 6th, 2012 at 9:44 PM ^
Another solid offering, much like pursuit of jappiness. Michigan undergrads are creative, apparently.
February 6th, 2012 at 9:50 PM ^
brohard hippsters suck
February 6th, 2012 at 9:58 PM ^
For some reason I thought this was going to be a Dom Mazzetti video haha, great job i loved it.
February 6th, 2012 at 10:04 PM ^
February 6th, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
I wore my pregaming with pat tank while watching
February 6th, 2012 at 10:47 PM ^
Coming from a Bro Namath, when did drinking PBR become contrarian/hipster as opposed to just American/blue-collar/awesome?
February 6th, 2012 at 11:00 PM ^
It has never been contrarian. Pabst himself was a fraternity man.
February 7th, 2012 at 12:03 AM ^
When did PBR become hipster? Not sure if serious...
February 7th, 2012 at 11:02 PM ^

I had no idea. I'm disappointed. In the realm of beer I could down quickly in college, I enjoyed PBR and High Life. I got hammered, played video games and went to Rick's though as opposed to wearing ironic t-shirts and starting flash mobs, so I'm sort of confused.
February 10th, 2012 at 11:01 AM ^
I was curious too, and found this:

It's always marketing.
February 6th, 2012 at 10:57 PM ^
Glen Robinson jersey guy should've been a hipster. No way he's wearing that to a party under any less than three levels of irony.
February 6th, 2012 at 11:05 PM ^
But now that his son's coming here, that jersey could acquire a certain "retrobro" sheen.
February 6th, 2012 at 11:31 PM ^
You have a future in the field.
But of course I know nothing about movies.
February 6th, 2012 at 11:59 PM ^
Yeah, but are you on the pursuit of jappiness?
February 7th, 2012 at 8:26 AM ^
well done...enjoyed it
February 7th, 2012 at 9:41 AM ^
I loved it and it is pretty timeless as 15 years ago this video would have been pretty spot on at umich.
February 7th, 2012 at 10:08 AM ^
plus, I'm pretty sure that's the house my wife lived in on Ann Street.
By the way, I started joking about hipsters before it was cool.
February 7th, 2012 at 12:42 PM ^
Well done. Sadly, the Mayans may be right that the world will end, but it will be when ascertaining the difference between a hipster and a bro becomes impossible.
