It's Over, Hipsters

A joke with two punchlines via Frank, who heard it from a 17-year-old on Saint Louis:

How many hipsters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Well… it’s an obscure number. You probably wouldn’t know it…

Well, it used to be 8 but now it’s 7; it was much better before.

The backlash is on. I enjoy my Levis 527s and my screen-printed hoodie, but all y’all took it too far. I just hope this doesn’t mean we’re in for a resurgence of Jock Jams.

Maybe this means you can continue to wear your chucks with impunity.

Ahahahaha!

how many williamsburg hipsters does it take to change a light bulb.

i don’t know, how many?

oh, you don’t… you don’t know?

or, if you want to short-circuit the joke:

how many hipsters does it take to change a lightbulb?

oh, come on. i heard that joke when it was on vinyl.

in my defense, I never lived in trendy trendy billzburg, but it’s easy to call it out. that’s a very good one though, “you don’t know, do you?” Really captures the essence of why the whole culture is destined for a fall: any community that embraces obscurity as a point of status has numbered days.
