Yeah, because tommy never judges people based on appearance or lifestyle.

LOL.

Excuse me? You just linked to a post of mine in which I berated somebody for being judgemental. You sure you got the right post?

And in which you separated the world into two categories: PROFESSIONALS, and those collecting a check from the gub'mint.

The OP is obviously a troll and posted with the intent of starting an arguement.

crushthewhateveryournameis- Do you post anything other than bashes against so called yuppies/hipsters/people that make more money than you? I just want to know because all you seem to do is bitch and moan about how much you hate Hoboken and people that YOU feel represent Hoboken. Your SH!T is tired... get a new story. The rest of us are tired of listening to you bitch. You make broad generalizations about people based on their appearance. You are no better than the people that your are bashing.

I'm sure your going to call me out now and blah blah blah I could care less Mr. Internet Tough Guy. I'm going to have some red wine, eat a nice steak with my blonde blue eyed girl and do some yoga in my condo's new fitness center. Why don't you put that in your pipe and smoke it.

By the way I'm from Getty Square in Yonkers and the Bronx if you want to see my ghetto pass.

Flame away.... signing off for the night.. got to go and do some yuppie things.

The OP-Crying about American culture as you yippee yap on your iPhone and drink a Pepsi. What an utter joke. Your jealousy is utterly palpable. What, did they tell you the chicks were gonna dig your accent? A cool accent is not going to overcome a bitter, shallow life. You and your misery, table for one!

To the yuppie haters- How DARE people live a life you don't approve of! You want to talk irony? Irony is an all knowing, all loving, all accepting, all hip trustafarian toolbox who in reality is utterly intolerant, utterly rigid, and utterly orthodox. Anyone outside the High Church of Accepted Lifestyles and Beliefs is to be shunned. But other than that, I'm ok, you're ok, right?

"Authenticity" is elevated over all characteristics, whatever the hell authenticity is.

It's a total cultural inversion, where success, hard work, striving to make good for one's family, whether it's a nice car or nice clothes or a nice neighborhood is to be ridiculed while squalor, filth, despondency & blight is celebrated.

That yuppie a-hole who just got off the train, in his to be ridiculed brooks brothers suit & ridiculously bourgeois, neatly-dressed wife is a hell of alot more interesting than you pretentious phonies.

One last thought- Myself and my yuppie brothers & sisters read the same books you have, listened to the same stuff, followed the same philosophers, and may have even held some of the same attitudes you do today.

Then freshman year in highschool was over & we put that crap away in the box next to the G.I. Joe toys in the attic.

So, you know, it might be time to get over it.

I'm curious- whats makes a beard ironic?

If by wearing it, you're actually making fun of the look. That's why I always wear an ironic smile.

So, to be clear- an "ironic beard" is a beard that's worn by someone who is actually making fun of beards?

That just sounds stupid.

Ironic/Irony- words that have been thrown around quite a bit on this thread.

To quote the great Inigo Montoya- "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

This is a fine example of an ironic beard. I found this image by googling "williamsburg beard".



This is an image of a unironic beard.

Actually, we are here among you, right under your nose but so uber ironic that you don't realize. We have taken irony to a whole nother level. We dress like students, we dress like housewives or in a suit and a tie, I changed my hairstyle so many times now don't know what I look like.

UGH, progress is so totally annoying!

a wee bit dramatic, no? the city has a long way to go before that happens -- and it won't. there are still plenty of areas in JC for people lamenting that long lost era. or there is newark or camden. or paterson.

Why am I starting to love you so hard...

.....It's not so much about categorizing people for its own sake, rather it's the trend of people allowing themselves to be categorized by marketeers and sold a bag of goods consisting of sophisticated products and attractive images.

Nobody is an individual in the purest sense, but I see a lot of people coming to JC who have adopted seemingly identical lifestyles and the predictable desires that go with it. I'd have to be unaware of my surroundings not to notice that something stinks about it, and I don't buy into the attitude that it has to boil down to a choice between a violent, drug-addicted, homeless pedophile car thief pissing in my vestibule and American Outfitters.

You might still be able to get it for $250k.

There are different pockets of nice quiet areas in the Heights, the east side of the Heights reminds me of the East Village though.

Exactly what do you folks consider a hipster? I see that term used a lot around here, and I'm curious.

I never understand these posts. Can't every city have at least ONE nice area? Jersey City finally has one. For those who like Jersey City, but hate yuppies and hipsters or whoever else, just move to another neighborhood in JC, because 70% of Jersey City has NO yuppies.

Seriously ... I just can't wrap my brain around these types of thoughts.

This has happened FOREVER, in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, etc. And everywhere else in the country. Look at LES 20 years ago compared to now.
