The folks who are going to write shitty things about this song aren't awake yet. The dickheads will respond around noon.

Is 'dickhead' a British codeword for 'hipster'?

Forced meme is forced.

Also, you can bet this was made by a couple of hipster dickheads who think they're not hipster dickheads.

I think this song needs to broaden it's definition of dickhead. They're a wonderful and diverse people.

I thought being a fake farmhand / fake native American is what is cool right now.

@2: I like "dickhead" better. "Hipster" doesn't actually, like, mean anything.

@12 - Agreed. I've been using hipster dickheads or hipster douches for a while now, just to drive the point home.

They ride bikes everywhere and have fashion trends I don't understand... they enrage me so much I need to make a youtube video and accompanying song about it.

And another thing, wearing loafers without socks is the only way to properly wear loafers. FACT

Hipster: the Dead End of Western Civilization
https://www.adbusters.org/magazine/79/hi…

Recommended read at link above, states my opinion on this whole cultural matter

Near the end the video makes swipes at vegans, and folks who are socially/politically active. Which kind of throws me off. I don't consider that stuff to be typical of 'dickheads', 'hipsters', whatever. Are dickheads typically concerned about poverty, the environment, the state of the world? I don't think so. Unless they're flaunting fake concern around.
Do dickheads waste their time, and yours, polluting our culture with meaningless cliche bullshit in such dire times? Yes. Absolutely.
Sorry folks but seriously, where's the COUNTERculture?? By that I mean a significant, sizable one? It's been gobbled up by the now-global hipster monster which was probably conceived by the CIA

So many dickheads in this thread.

All I ask for, hipsters, is to get plaid back. It is my favorite textile pattern and I would like to wear it in the badly fashioned way that I have most of my life without shame or the fear of someone automatically assuming me to be a dickhead because I am actually really nice and will dance at shows and love to smile and share.

@21 I think it is the throw-away attitude they have over those matters. Like, yes, they are at least discussing those things but to act like you really give a shit when it is currently just trendy to give a shit is kind of an asshole thing to do.

It is like vegans that only eat bread and potatoes and do not really understand anything about farming or animals (like the fact that healthy, happy chickens make the best eggs) or being really, really vocally concerned and kind of judgmental regarding matters of the environment but then getting into a giant '84 Volvo station wagon and buying then flaunting all the latest bullshit doo-dads as soon as they come out.

@16: perfect! yes! thank you for that.

addendum to my previous comments: i hadn't watched the video yet and was mostly replying to comments. now that i've watched the video it's pretty dumb.

Blah blah blah. It's funny. Way to look waaaay too deep into it and get all philosophical. You must all be dickheads since you're so distraught. Truly, some of the dickhead profiling material matches me, I still think it's funny. Come off it all you lil slogger commenter tard tards! Bleh.

^ This dickhead apparently slept in 'til almost 7pm.

@17 So wrong. It's acceptable to wear them with men's hosiery if they're hand made Italian and you paid over $100 for them.

hipster/"dickhead" bashing is so fawking done. Pretentious elitist folk come is all different shades, shapes, styles, trends, cultural sets, etc... I'm amazed by how much energy people pu into hating hipsters... The word itself is thrown around so loosely. Can anybody actually define it?
