Music The Brooklyn Vegan Commenters Have Spoken
Posted by Mike Conklin on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 10:31 AM
Well, it appears the Brookyln Vegan comment wars about this year’s “8 NYC Bands You Need to Hear” feature are beginning to fizzle, and it was a good showing by everyone this time around. There were the standard posts decrying the magazine’s utter irrelevance, and there was just as much anti-hipster whining as we’ve come to expect and adore. But there were some new developments this year, as well. For one, with the exception of a few very subtle jabs, I was barely called a racist at all, which is pretty cool. And not a single commenter complained that I had just chosen all my friends’ bands. This year’s main gripe seemed to be that every member of every band we chose had a sizable trust fund. After the jump, read some of our favorite comments.

“Boy, the L Magazine's new site redesign looks a lot like New York Mag's website, huh?” — Anonymous 1:30pm
“L magazine. three years of irrelevancy (so far!)” — Anonymous 1:52pm (Um, actually, it’s six years, thank you very much.)
“the (fai)L Magazine.” — non, 1:58pm
“1:11, you are a dockers and oxford wearing tool. That's the tamest looking group of people, most certainly NOT flying any over the top hipster cred freak flags. So get your cock out of your mouth, put your dockers back on and shut the fuck up.” — Anonymous, 2:31pm
“This fucking magazine sucks.” — Anonymous, 4:04pm
“This list is the final nail in the coffin of the L Mag's relevance.” — Anonymous, 4:25pm
“i sincerely fucking hate each and every one of you and i hate the internet and i hope you all die in some bizarre, unforeseen internet holocaust. you are all just completely fucking saturated with suck.” — Anonymous, 5:14pm
“Problems with the trust fund this month?” Anonymous 5:16pm, @ Anonymous 5:14pm
“I hope Mr. Big Words aka. 'i want you all to die' catches the greasy bacon flu." — Anonymous, 6:06pm
“Most of these bands on this list do that. With that said, REAL people, like Matt & Lauren @ L magazine, who don't have pitchforkmedia pushing them around in a pram are going to write about what they fancy despite what anyone else has to say.” — Brian, 6:34pm. (Thank you Brian. I’d love it if the Pitchfork people, or anyone, really, would push me around in a pram. Also, my name is Mike.)
