was waiting for someone to do this : D

it's so weird when i see people from outside the pnw treat drinking microbrews as some hipster thing instead of something that all guys in all demographics do. also referring to them as "craft beers".

#humblebrag

Community's Donald Glover chats with Marc about the Confederate South, black nerds, Spider-man, Tracy Morgan, Jehovah's Witnesses, foster kids, and Childish Gambino.

Yeah, let's keep steering this back to the days when we were all on the same side of hating Childish Gambino.

feel like microbrews are like skinny jeans or the arcade fire or something...there was a point when that mighta been a hipster reference point but today I can totally see a frat dude in skinny jeans w/ a local beer rocking out to the arcade fire.

wow i just heard this and oh shit i don't like it

I got a girl on my arm dude, show respect
Something crazy, an Asian, Virginia Tech
She too fine
I do dimes

Something crazy, an Asian, Virginia Tech

haha is this real?

Sadly, yes.

i dont think even iatee could defend that line.

I don't actually like this guy I was just bored the other day

solitary posts that effortlessly sum up ilx

today i overheard 2 people talking about a Community joke (the 'room temperature' room) and one of them was a 60-year-old CEO and in the back of my mine i was thinking WAIT YOU DON'T FIT THE TUMBLR WHITE PROFILE

mine=mind

Pretty sure that dude is just a TV watcher and not the shrill idiot loudmouth HOW DAR U CANCEL SMARTEST SHOW ON TELEVISION OK TIME TO GO TO SANTACON ppl that are the most vocal about being community fans

wow is Santacon a tumblr whites thing now too?

game done changed

only 100 people watched community...but they all started tumblrs

i literally cant imagine what other type of person would be into santacon besides TWs

whiney the underlying point that you will never get is that most people watching (or quoting or talking about) any given show are just TV watchers and not part of an oppressively obnoxious cultural force

is that how you sleep at night?

what is 1 santacon?

it's an event where people who bought whiney's book at urban outfitters put on santa hats

You're destroying whiney's carefully cultivated narratives that help him sleep better at night, ship.

whiney knows way too much and drops way too many references to idk - hipster culture? - to somehow claim he's exempt

i once started a tumblr (and after a month forgot about updating it) and enjoy community.

i take depression pills.

three things most probably related.

shipley you're dumber than a Childish Gambino fan if you think that i believe literally EVERY community watcher is a comedy-mustache-wearing lolcat-trading fleet-foxes-jackin dipshit; but they are certainly the loudest and most shrill audience, so I'll continue to lump your dumb ass with them because it's hilar

you're thinking of deej

fleet-foxes-jackin = they are masturbating while listening to the fleet foxes, or they're stealing the fleet foxes' stuff for their own fleet fox style bands?

i literally cant imagine what other type of person would be into santacon besides TWs

was more an expression of surprise at how widespread/well known santacon is now, that's all. also santacon predates tumblr by quite a bit so it's just weird to me to see those two things lumped together. but whatever, keep fightin the good fight whiney!

xp

it's all good, dude, i can deal with having my sense of humor attacked by people who say "hilar"

In further "2 much time spent decaying in front of laptop" news, definitely ("deffo") thought 'Santacon' was in some way like 'shotacon' for a sec

santacon is kingfish status, I imagined tumblr whites skewing younger

yeah you should've switched out santacon with "rally to restore sanity" imo

either way whiney is like MJ in 96 itt

"Microbrew(ery)" is a term that refers only to the production capacity. "Craft" is more about the brewer's approach to how the beer is made. Obviously there's a lot of overlap -- most craft beers come from what are technically microbreweries -- but the terms aren't exactly synonymous. (Some parallels with "indie," probably.)

Anyway, I'm like a week late to this thread, and I still haven't heard any Childish Gambino -- though I did randomly see last week's musical episode of Community -- but I wanted to respond to this:

Like if you want comedy rap, this is at least a step above like MC LARS HORRISHIT or whatever, but there's a whole school of MCs--Copywrite, High & Mighty, Apathy, Bumpy Knuckles, J-Zone, Celph Titled, Chino XL, even Joe Buddden--that do the constant hammering-away-at-punchlines thing. Sorry they're not ADORABLE and on NBC's Pomplamoose-comedy half-hour sitcom, Tumblr whites.

This makes it sound like people are deliberately choosing Childish Gambino over those other acts. The fact that Glover is on TV doesn't make him better, but it does make him a million times more visible. Most people really don't want to spend a lot of time digging for music they might like, so the guy who's on a network sitcom has a distinct advantage. None of this is Glover's fault. And none of his fans are claiming that he's better than a dozen rappers they've never heard of.

should team up with the guy from the Better Off Ted sitcom.

haha jesus i love Better Off Ted so this is something else for me to feel horribly conflicted about

the epidemic of actors and show biz types deciding to be rappers is going to be so much more awful in the long term than Dog Star or The Return of Bruno ever was

dunno what metric yr going by here tbh

I'm just saying I've never heard anyone in the NW ever use the phrase "craft beer".

feel like microbrews are like skinny jeans or the arcade fire or something...there was a point when that mighta been a hipster reference point but today I can totally see a frat dude in skinny jeans w/ a local beer rocking out to the arcade fire.

If that moment happened around here, it happened by like 1992 at the very latest.

this is more true, whiney is HOPING you'll say he's not exempt

And none of his fans are claiming that he's better than a dozen rappers they've never heard of.

this, otoh, is probably totally untrue. but im not partic butthurt about it unless they actually are writing about music professionally

maybe they're not saying "he's better than Apathy" but I do hear a lot of "wow, I don't even LIKE rap and I LOVE Childish Gambino"...
