A conservative radio talk show host called Jay Mundy describes his first visit to Williamsburg earlier this week. It’s kinda hilarious until you realize that people this close-minded actually exist. Some out-takes:
It is a place that is now the official hipster neighborhood of the United States of America…I never thought that could exist here…I couldn’t believe it. It is so left wing, how do I even describe it…If you could see what this place looks like…Just think of the most left-wing hippie, lunatic, nutcase; get that in your head and multiply it by thousands. It is extremely scary…Tattoos and people who are high on drugs all day and they are wearing weird clothes, like something you can’t imagine, like a Hollywood picture, but here it was in the real world. Someone I was with said it’s like all the misfits in this country went to this neighborhood. There’s graffiti everywhere cuz they think graffiti is art…They are extreme leftists. I’ve never seen so many sick weirdos gathered in one place. They’re all doing drugs all day. They have their hair died and tattoos so they can’t have a job so they’re all living on public assistance…They love Obama and the leftists and hate police power. They’re carefree people. If I lived there a day, I tell you I would be in jail for murder…They don’t believe in toilet paper there because it hurts the environment…I think even some left-of-center Democrats would be grossed out.
Someone better explain to this guy the difference between a hipster and a hippie. You can check Part 1 and Part 2 of the interview on YouTube.

Ok guys…I admit it.
I’m Jay Mundy.
thanks beau guest I haven’t thought of the peepermint lounge in years!
Whatever, What. You sound like the happy idiots that used to rail against gentrification in the East Village. If you weren’t an anarchist or squatter, you were somehow destroying the neighborhood. Like it was somehow “preserving” the neighborhood to smoke crack and live under tarps and packing crates in the park. I dutifully purchased purchased my clothes at Unique and Canal Jeans and was barely scraping by, but I was supposed to give the beggar punks on St. Marks money? Right. I don’t remember those “artists” having steady jobs beyond begging and calling their parents back in Ohio to wire them some more cash. I’m pretty sure their Trash and Vaudeville bondage wear and dye jobs cost way more than my monthly rent. AI suggest to you that there is nothing different between then and now.
I’ve always felt the What was a Googling imposter. Whenever he talks about any old school New York thing, he parrots the party line about it. “CBGB – they had legendary bands there.” Oh, that seals it, he must have been a total insider.
haha, curbed picked it up, too: http://curbed.com/archives/2009/06/17/best_antiwilliamsburg_rant_of_the_past_5_minutes.php
Williamsburg is fun. Good record stores, restaurants, bars, etc.
this is a strange low brownstoner. you find a bizarre article by a no-name guy with a site that gets no visitors (use alexa.com), and share it as a “look what right wingers think!” article?
next up a rant by a homeless black guy to show us what blacks are like. then a lefist living on the beach in salinas.
Pete, “work” is just a state of mind.
certainly this radio guy is saying outrageous things to get noticed. Maybe that is why the What empathizes so much with him.
Yet I have read enough of the hipster criticism, park slope mom bashing, project tenant snickering, along with lots of other silly stereotypes and overgeneralizations by many many many readers here. Don’t understand all the negativity.
How about some bashing of all of us -brownstoner commenters – who have nothing better or productive do to then banter all day on the blog (when most of us are at work anyway).
