If you love to cringe, for the love of all that’s holy, PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO. Here a St. Louis news station discovers that “hipsters” have descended upon their city—so of course they have to do a jaw-droppingly terrible special report. What are hipsters? (They like jazz, “trends” and walking around with their shoelaces untied.) What do they do? (They have daytime dance parties featuring the latest dances—like “the pony.”) Where are they? (Hanging out at the The Mud House Coffee Shop, of course.) And trust me when I say, you will never see a more butt-cringing display of reporting or “hipsterdom” in your life. Compared to these guys? Our TV news stations and tall bike riders are THE BEST.
And don’t miss the best reaction ever to this news story from a totally over-it anchor at the 3:07 mark. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!
WHUT’S A HIPSTER?
That woman couldn’t keep a straight face when she explains she checked the hipster box on yelp.
For those of you TOO YOUNG to know, add this to that all-important list of fare-thee-wells:

That anchor’s reaction is PUH-riceless.
Sorry, WSH. Tall bikers are the worst. I’ll take a 1,000 budding hipster St. Louis’s mainly because they probably haven’t been infected by tall bikitis yet.
It’s just a typical TV news piece. Ironically, another example of hipster culture can be found by clicking some of the photos in the Mercury’s “Arthole” to the upper right of this article.
They had to have been punking the news crew with the daytime dance party…
For whatever reason, this reminds me of (20 years ago now, jeez) when a receptionist at Sub Pop got the New York Times to publish a bunch of fake grunge slang.
