    Industrial rock remix of Hipster For A Day done by mindFluxFuneral.
    Credits: Original music and Lyrics by Robert Ryan. Additional music and remixing by Tony Smith

    Story Behind the Song
    The inspiration came to me when a hipster of insane magnitude parked his meticulously disheveled tweed and plaid covered ass across from me on the bus.

    He was the prime example of a Montreal hipster - from the trift shop clothes with everything in a plaid (including accessories like his hat and guitar case), and no two items of clothing coming anywhere close to matching.

    Fashionably, this one was the cousin to the ones who dress in black and write bad poetry about either the meaning of life and death, or the decay of the urban environment. However, this particular breed of hipster seems to prefer strumming an acoustic guitar and turning bad poetry into bad songs about mother earth and the evils of eating meat.

    More often than not these hipsters are suburbanite trust fund jackoffs who like to hang out in coffee shops after a night of taking black and white photos of graveyards and trade quotes of their favorite beat poets over a steamed soy beverage.

    I hate them, and so should you.

    This track was originally was a sarcasm-laden spoken word hipster bashing set to a looping electrified folk guitar figure over a simple hip hop beat. Tony Smith of mindFluxFuneral asked if he could have some fun with the track, and the result is a decidedly heavier track which packs enough punch to take a hipster's head clean off at the shoulder. Whatever's new to this remix is all his doing, so don't praise me for the results.

    Lyrics
    I want to be beat with the hip hop drum
    Grab an acoustic guitar and strum
    Jam to the Indigo Girls
    And wear black turtlenecks
    Drink latté, and write bad poetry on an iMac

    I want to be indie rock
    A New Bondage Fairy
    Hipster for a day
    And sing songs about trees
    Am I alternative yet?

    I want to be heavy mental
    See life in black and white
    Cut myself with razor blades
    Write haiku about death, misery
    War, loneliness, pain, the suburbs

    Do you know what I mean?

    I want to be beat with the hip hop drum
    Grab an acoustic guitar and strum
    Jam to the Indigo Girls
    And wear black turtlenecks
    Drink latté, and write bad poetry on an iMac

    Do you know what I mean?
