I won! The old Monty Python sketch "Upper Class Twit of the Year" has experienced a contemporary update: The Hipster Olympics.
four possible bored acting Mittzwanzinger from Brooklyn-Williamsburg have to compete in similar deviant disciplines, such as upper-class idiots in England humor of the seventies. And that's even better. Today's hipsters are looking for a race after an ironic T-shirts and the perfect view of derogatory insults. Sauwitzitzig and Orignial in every respect worthy. Terrific: The "American Aparell Instant Replay."
It is no longer "does" the beggar, but "looking for a plate of a band that was well before they became famous", not "driving" the grandma with to the convertible, "but" take a picture for your Myspace profile, spontaneously composed and still good. "
This speaks of the one part that we actually post in a materialistic society arrived are produced in the distinction no longer financial, but on cultural and social capital. On the other hand, there is also evidence that have prevailed obviously just in "our" youth culture, the mechanisms of power, was able to parody the stubborn one 30 years ago in conservative England. Well congratulations.
We finally have overcome the domination of money, only to find us in the treadmill of hipness-class Gesellschatft again. At least now the music is better. What can we learn from this? Here's to the Uncool Ness, the undisguised enthusiasm. Welcome to the backlash to the counterculture. Fuck indie, love the music!
And a great sketch, it is in any case.
