Hipsters fucking love the hurdy-gurdy

[Don Coyote]

All I know is now I want to see several hurdy-gurdy hooked up a machine that automatically plays them using an overly elaborate steam powered engine.

Wouldnt the heat and humidty from the steam cause them to go out of tune quicker?

Excellent point...also, damn you.

Nevertheless, that would still be pretty cool.


I think hipsters are silly, but they keep open a few places I really like (my favorite tea house, for example, is hipster central but they keep it going), so I've decided I don't mind them.

But, we also keep ours cowed. Any of that mocking shit they're famous for immediately gets turned around on them and squared, so mebbe that's why ours are ok.

Your dreams need not be forfeit good chap. A clockwork device of similar design could achieve the same effect while achieving a similar aesthetic("steampunk") as well.

In the future I am going to build a hurdy-gurdy.

Not because I'm a hipster,
Because I'm awesome.

Being awesome is SO mainstream now.

[E.O.T.]

I DID NOT

         watch the whole video, but I've seen a few folks play the hurdy gurdy and it makes some pretty awesome sounds. I doubt they'll get nearly as popular as mustaches because they're mostly custom built and pretty damn spendy. like, thousands of PBR's spendy.

WHAT

         tipped you off to the hipsters bent on hurdy gurdy idea?

CUDGEL-

         i love that idea!! tune change/ adjustment could just be part of the process. Imagine "take me out to the ballgame" on 23 steampowered hurdy gurdies!!

Internal dialogue in my head:

ME1: This thread makes me wonder, am I a hipster?
ME2: Uhh... you wear jackboots with knee-high athletic socks and pinstripe slacks cut off at the knees. And nobody thinks you're cool.
ME1: Oh yeah. SAVED!

Hipster in denial. No one thinks hipsters are cool. Hipsters wear random clothes that make no sense.

There is probably secret hipster lusting going on behind your back.

In that case, I should get some thick-framed glasses and a turtleneck. If there's somebody lusting after me, I'd hate for them to keep it a secret.

They fucking love it. They are all over that shit. It's the new banjo.

I liked the hurdy-gurdy before it was cool.

I used to worry that I was a hipster.  Then I realized that I hate cheap beer, dress like someone who has a job and a home, and have a visceral dislike for "authentic" things like indie music and mid century home furnishings.  And I prefer wireframes.
