Politics Buzz The first Occupy keg party will be in Williamsburg, Brooklyn this weekend. The revolution will not be remembered the next day.
Glory to Williamsburg in the highest. Peace in our borough and good fashion towards men.
Geoffrey has a cozy spot in Williamsburg and is totally stocked up on bottled water and Fig Newtons. What more could you possible want?
Music Buzz When Athens, GA, band Reptar came to NYC to play a few shows this month, we knew they'd have a good time with the Buzzfeed Flipcam.
Culture Buzz While popular media has portrayed Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood as the home of the hipster, New York is only #2 in terms of overall “hipster” search volume. Who's #1?
Yesterday in Brooklyn, the first annual Phil Collins Day Parade was felt in the air tonight, oh lord, badump-padump-padump-padump-badumpadump! There was a float with Phil Collins' head, revelers in Phil Collins masks, and a marching band doing festive covers of Mr. Collins' work. Asking why is like asking what “Sussudio” means. Just let it wash over you.
Culture Buzz A photographer in Williamsburg, Henry Hargreaves, refashions snow-entombed Brooklyn into the ice planet Hoth from “The Empire Strikes Back.” If you're stranded in Williamsburg, don't slice open a hipster's belly for warmth. And you thought they smelled bad on the outside.
Just for the (present and future) New Yorkers: It turns out that most apartments in north Brooklyn are in “Williamsburg”.
Ah, sweet revenge. Right next to the LOST DOG flyer. Seen on Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg, New York. So, if you end up in that neighborhood, don't get taken in by any charming, newly homeless dudes and bring them back to your apartment. You could be next.
Culture Buzz Ever wonder what kind of hipster you are? YourSceneSucks helps you define which totally sucky scene you belong to: Apple Store Indie, maybe Hipster Jesus? Or in my case, it basically outlines regrettable boyfriend choices of the last decade.
Spotted in Williamsburg: tweens reenacting the Passion of the Christ! They should have staged it in the bike lanes for maximum effect.
Style Buzz The skinny jean for men continues to dominate fashion (as designers attempt to push it on bros now, too), as illustrated in one reporter's journey into Williamsburg, Brooklyn - the epicenter of impossibly narcissistic hipsterdom - where denim leggings is the pant of choice. Despite my own personal clueless sense of fashion (which tends to never progress beyond “Hobo Goes Yachting”), I think it's safe to say that pilgrim shoes + visible junk = the worst. Unless, of course, you think your band is amazing.
Style Buzz A photoblog of people retardedly dressed around the NYC area. This blog is so mean! That's why it fills the huge gaping void that's left from Blue States Lose and Vice Do's and Don'ts (from when they used to be funny).
Man, everyone shops at American Apparel now. Credit where credit is due: those guys are the Original Gangstas of ironic beards.
