A Hipster Hostel Might Have Produced The Most Cringeworthy Video Yet
Culture is dead, ban everything.
Urban House is a new hotel-cum-hostel project in Copenhagen, and appears to be actively targeting people typically described as hipsters.

It is described as "A unique hotel with 950 beds that will change the perception of how people travel and get to know Vestebro, the hippest part of Copenhagen. We are a happy Urban Family who likes to share and are fond of Vesterbro, tattoos, style, beer, food, skateboards."
Ahead of their March 2015 launch, they've produced a video advertising themselves.

It starts with this woman throwing a sign at the camera while posing on a bike.
And voice-over explanations of just who they are talking to.

There's an explanation of what the "hippest part of Copenhagen" contains.

PSA: If someone in a hostel tells you labels are for other people, don't leave your stuff near them.

Then this woman stares pensively out of the window, possibly re-considering her life choices, though it would be unfair to speculate.
And this man uses his earphones to dig out a rather unpleasant build-up of earwax.
But the important thing is to remember that this is happening.

The online response has been fairly negative.

Many have expressed a hope that it is fake.

But development for the hostel is going ahead, and their advertising tactics appear to be working, for the moment at least.
