Hipsterocrisy
11:01
This is a combination of the words Hipster and Hypocrisy. It’s meant to expose the absurd hypocrisies of hipsters and yupsters who have gentrified so many communities here in New York (and in Brooklyn especially). They’re always self-righteously lecturing on tolerance and acceptance, wealth inequality, the environment, and many other causes they supposedly care about yet never practice.
It’s so infuriating to hear from trust-fund babies that Wall Street is evil, to listen to a vegan make their lunch order while a calfskin bag hangs over their chair, enduring the praises of farm-to-table food grown for them by people they refer to as rednecks and hillbillies. All as they’re living in their now astronomically priced neighborhood that they pushed all of the working-class people right out of when they bought their million dollar loft or three million dollar brownstone or converted warehouse.
It’s an 11 minute song, there are a lot more examples!
If you’re a hipster/yupster, it’s ok, don’t be offended. Live your life. BUT if you’re a hipster/yupster hypocrite, BE OFFENDED! Maybe you’ll wake up and change.
‘Hipsterocrisy’ is played in Standard Tuning.
Hipsterocrisy Lyrics
A trust fund baby protesting Wall Street
A committed vegan, won’t eat a piece of meat
The Louis calfskin bag don’t weigh much on your head
Guess a designer baby cow’s not really dead!
Non-conflict food for non-conflict people
Need the comfort dog when the going gets rough
Civet Cat beans for hundred dollar coffee
Just make sure you recycle the cup
Need a safe space so you don’t get triggered
Use the coloring book, it’ll be alright
Infantilize yourself and your campus
Never cut the umbilical cord!
The ultimate hypocrisy is the hipster/yupster ‘ocrisy
Eating your kale chips as you save the world
Condos from warehouses
What a great way to help the poor
Gentrify them out
So they can’t live there anymore!
Guitar/keyboard solos
Open to all perspectives as long as they’re your own
Patronizing condescension is your standard tone
Claiming to be unique, but don’t you see
You’re all identical in your individuality!
You demand tolerance, but don’t offer any
Freedom of speech is a one-way street
Farm-to-table food from people you call rednecks
Guess it’s ok if it’s non-gmo
Lumberjack beard but you’ve never seen a forest
What does it matter when you’ve got a flannel shirt
Narrow-minded fools living in an echo chamber
Maybe the beanie’s too tight on your head!
The ultimate hypocrisy is the hipster/yupster ‘ocrisy
Eating your kale chips as you save the world
Condos from warehouses
What a great way to help the poor
Gentrify them out
So they can’t live there anymore!
