BloodySteel64 Those people irritate the fuck out of me. I hate wearing my glasses, they're so uncomfortable that I'd rather not be able to see properly than wear them. I can't imagine how empty someone's life would have to be for them to wear empty frames for no reason!
teehee1604 I wear designer frames but they are prescription I have poor eyesight , so If I have to wear them , I want to look good , but people who have perfect vision and wear glasses just for style are stupid
André D Yeah, I do have nice glasses, but I just hate the weight of them on my face, and they make my nose itch. I don't see why anyone would bring that upon themselves for no benefit!
***** In all fairness I highly doubt there is any ill intent behind their motives, I'm not saying that it's less dumb... but at the end of the day, does it really hurt anything?
I know a group of hipsters that go to the gym every week. They are covered in tattoos and eat vegan dishes, extremely progressive, and listen to NPR, etc. They are hipsters who lift.
Think of a flow chart, first thing asked is do you even lift, if they do, then they are a bro no matter what, if they don't then it goes onto more questions.
+BenjiCord93 wow so true and such a simple concept that i never connected the two together. Nerds, quiet types lean towards the intellectual side of things, and they feel the simpler speech and debauchery is seen as immature. Being creative and unique, whatever that is, is seen as being cultured and respected. They have more book knowledge and can resonate with anti-corporate and liberal ideals. Although there are plenty of unaware "hipsters" that just happen to wear flannel and black rimmed glasses just to be in style. Being a hipster takes some dedication but isn't that hard to switch your clothing style or like something quirky. Sure there are plenty of intellectual bros, but overall its a shorter, dumbed down speech. Its easy to be a bro in college. Partying, not giving a fuck is pretty much the norm. After college broness wears off and they become those dressy types wearing buttons downs and blazers with $400 watches. I like to think the manner of speech is like "Its a killer sandwich, bro. I fucking love it tho." vs. "Its a killer sandwich, I really find that they do a great job in brazing the meat and giving that rich, smoky flavor"
DM R Therein lies the problem with the hipster crowd...is it really more intellectually valued to speak with longer sentences when nobody really cares, or to keep it simple, stupid? I've never met a free-thinking hipster (or liberal) who didn't basically plagiarize some existential writer or non-conformist, anti-corporate work. All interests they have stem from these works because they validate the hipsters biased heuristics. Also, since when does having more book knowledge or resonating with liberal ideals make your intellect superior?
***** Basically plagiarize? Ideology becomes embedded in culture after a while. You can never truly know where a person obtained their way of thinking. Yeah, if you were chilling in Haight-Asbury or Greenwich in the 60's their probably be the same seminal works being explicitly or implicitly mentioned. Knowledge isn't pinned like that nowadays. Well except for conservatism with Rand and Goldwater. And biased heuristic mentality is kinda the norm for most conforming groups or subcultures. Most don't want to reveal their motivations for why they chose to do what they did to conform. Who knows this could be you? Some will once they distance themselves and it becomes ironic for why they conformed. Intellectual people, to me are people who enjoy or are comfortable talking about the abstract, world events, politics, get behind movements, that stuff. Joe Rogan is an intellectual. Tom Brady is not an intellectual. Intellectual doesn't mean supreme intelligence. Its more in aligned with interests and a way of thinking. Intellectuals can be liberal or conservative. Its just that being intellectual usually entails having a vaster array of knowledge in the abstract. So, most bros are more interested in the concrete. They keep their guard up. Trying to debunk things is seen as irrelevant and unnecessary. As Papa Bear says on the Spin Factor, "am I wrong?"
Hipsters and Bros are like Democrats and Republicans - on the outside they seem as different as can be, but if you scratch beneath the surface they're all about the same things - except instead of corporate $ and appeasing as many constituents as possible - it's molding yourself into a specific group's way of thinking and being angsty. I started this comment off just making a dumb joke but I think it's actually kind of true haha
Jason Kone Yeah by the end of their 20s, hipsters and bros come together and move more towards the center of being "hip" and caring a lot about clothes and style and broadcasting their lifestyle to the world.
That makes no sense lol my mother is very much about eating healthy and the environment yet hits the gym every day and she is neither a bro or a hipster! You people and your need to categorize everyone!
Fernando Herrera Yes, its a funny and dramatic video that ends without any closure, leaving the answer open to interpretation. Gym Bro-Fitnez is stating that though the roommate was participating in many activities enjoyed by both groups, ultimately the truth is that hipsters don't lift (or they'll bust out of their skinny jeans). Ugh, foreigners. Always having to explain things to them, even when it was said light-heartedly. Chill out bud.
John Davis I just don't agree with that. The video displays a hilarious stereotype! But only a stereotype nonetheless. And who are you calling foreigner? I was born in the U.S. And not only do I speak English well, but I don't even speak spanish! Nor do I sound like I do. Unless you're not from the U.S. In which case I am a foreigner to you and you are to me.
This is really good. A great way to examine what damage preconceived notions do to social situations. Humans are dynamic and I think this funny short does a great job illustrating this. Who is the bigger idiot the person trying to be themselves or people stereotyping them. I don't know if that what you were going for or if it was just supposed to be funny. It's good either way.
In 2009 it seemed that hipsters cared about nothing - everything was artifice. In 2014 I hear people so labeled for expressing literally any technical discernment. People also can't seem to agree on whether it's a state of being or an ethos, a demographic or a trope. I don't know, I suspect we are playing with words.
Its getting old because its true and hipsters are annoying as shit. Bros are too but I cant stand hipsters, they need to be placed in concentration camps and forced to do hard labor and starved
I admit I'm part bro. I'm in the gym 6 mornings a week hitting the big 3 at my limit. I love being the alpha. I size up everybody and rarely see any need for concern if things were to take a turn. And I love that my stature is enough to quiet most guys when they see they're about to truly piss me off. At the same time, I'm a chess playing, software developing, classical violinist among many other things always on about puppies and buckled a stuffed bunny into my passenger seat with a water bottle for laughs. Oh, and I fucking hate hipsters.
SUCH a great video. Everything about it was great. Lighting, camera work, audio and picture quality. Hell, plot theme was excellent too. Better then 9 out of 10 of today's average movies!
And their new room mate stood and smiled while the bros and hipsters clashed. Man it feels good to be apart of your own niche. Who needs to be categorized anyway?
I don't understand why people get so annoyed by hipsters. Why does everyone think they are so pretentious just because they like Mumford & Sons and wear flannel. Most of them aren't self centered and talk about random books no one has ever heard of. Those are stereotypes. The real definition if just being creative and artsy, liking different kinds of music and art. In reality the hipsters are just the misfits.
I've been personally attacked by a hipster in real life and he used the word "mainstream" around 12 times. Why? Because I had a Nirvana t shirt on and he said I'm only wearing it for fashion (when I do infact like Nirvana)
He is trying to be a hipster. That annoys me. I think its fine if you like certain things that just happen to be 'hipster'. P.S- I love Nirvana too. NEWTON1080p
Anyone who actually labels themselves or tries to fit the demographic and stereotype is a poser and a fashion victim. The term cam about for people that are just cool, cultured, and intelligent individuals in the pacific Northwest, and then the stereotypes spread. By the way, Nirvana may be mainstream but aside from being very derivative of the Melvin's and Screaming Trees sound, they are pretty good ..
This is hilarious but i love how you guys made it serious in a way, with the music too. The standing in the snow scene reminded me of a movie, you guys did a really good job producing this haha.
I even like how it blends the idea of making a short goofy TH-cam video into a full-on short film. Excellent way to use the short attention span format to get people to sit through your stuff
GREAT short film. excellent ending, great concept, effective use of music, clever commentary on the subject, even well acted. this deserves a lot more views.
@brianafreedman at 00:48 he said lacrosse pinnies. they are the mesh sleeveless shirts the guys had on at the party, usually used for practices and stuff like that
Plot twist, he is just gay.
+omegajbmb gay bro-ster or gay hip-oh
teamsiems touche
+omegajbmb Omg... It's the only explanation.
Plot twist he is transgender
As someone who needs to wear prescription eyewear people who wear non-prescription glasses make no sense to me
Some people just like it for style reasons...
BloodySteel64 Those people irritate the fuck out of me. I hate wearing my glasses, they're so uncomfortable that I'd rather not be able to see properly than wear them. I can't imagine how empty someone's life would have to be for them to wear empty frames for no reason!

I think this is Drake's finest work
This still cracks me up after all these years. Some of Pat's coolest writing in articulating the difference between bros and hipsters.
He's a broster.
Hipsters don't lift come on
yes they do. ironically.
Meade Skelton Then they're bros.
I know a group of hipsters that go to the gym every week. They are covered in tattoos and eat vegan dishes, extremely progressive, and listen to NPR, etc. They are hipsters who lift.
Think of a flow chart, first thing asked is do you even lift, if they do, then they are a bro no matter what, if they don't then it goes onto more questions.
Travis Wainwright
Then they are Hipster-Bros. You know Hipsters and Bros are basically the same at their core.
He`s bropster
Lol, hes a broster
Broster for life.
What is this, like Harvard writers that have to do a class project or they can't join the Illuminati and work for Conan O'brien one day?!
"i wear my sunglasses at night , so i can so i can, keep track of the visions in my mind"-Corey Hart
It seems to me that (from high school to college) nerds/geeks become hipsters and jocks become bros.

so they're both clueless, servile, conformists
Could "hipster" possibly just mean modern day version of a "hippie"? Not sure just wondering. But anyway just be YOU!!!!!
damn this is such a well constructed video
If he lifts he is a bro. End of discussion.
That makes no sense lol my mother is very much about eating healthy and the environment yet hits the gym every day and she is neither a bro or a hipster! You people and your need to categorize everyone!
Why click on the video then?
Gym Bro-Fitnez it was still a funny dramatic video. But people go over the top

OMG OMG PORTER ROBINSON PLAYING IN THE BEGINNING. I love you.
I haven't laughed so hard in ages.
1:15
He just listens to those two songs on repeat whenever he works out.
He's a broster
"he's a bro!" "he's a hipster!"
Guy in the middle: Coolface
yo that guy in the vid kinda looks like drake
This should be a movie.
Somehow, as disparate as these 2 groups can be, are bros and hipsters actually cut from the same cloth?
gotta say Pat , this is some of the best original skits! Years later still has me coming back on a Sunday morning. #uconnalum
3:53 the guy looks like howard from the big bang theory
7 years and I still love this video
So hes a bro and a hipster, so hes a bripster! ..Or hes a Hipster and a Bro so he's a h-.. oh, well I guess everyone needs to make a living lol
He is not a bripster, he is a broster!
This. was. AMAZING! Best video I've seen on youtube in a long long time
This is really good. A great way to examine what damage preconceived notions do to social situations. Humans are dynamic and I think this funny short does a great job illustrating this. Who is the bigger idiot the person trying to be themselves or people stereotyping them. I don't know if that what you were going for or if it was just supposed to be funny. It's good either way.
Fatalsprigs wow that's quite an overreaction to a simple observation
Marcus Fields Shut up hipster!
Marcus Fields - You are part of the problem
Marcus Fields I do hope you are being ironic...
good job guys. nice short with good production value and experienced cinematography.
In 2009 it seemed that hipsters cared about nothing - everything was artifice.
In 2014 I hear people so labeled for expressing literally any technical discernment.
People also can't seem to agree on whether it's a state of being or an ethos, a demographic or a trope. I don't know, I suspect we are playing with words.
Hollywood, if you increase your quality to this level, I will pay for movies again.
drakes brother?
"Are you a hipster or a hobo?" - The Rubberbandits. You're welcome.
Has anyone else noticed that one of those guys looks like the singer/song writer #Drake
they missed the beautiful chance to say
"he's a bro!"
"no, he's a bripster."
"no... im a ho."
Guys, he's a Broster.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around, a hipster will buy the soundtrack
the hipster and bro stereotype is really getting old
If only they weren't true.
Its getting old because its true and hipsters are annoying as shit. Bros are too but I cant stand hipsters, they need to be placed in concentration camps and forced to do hard labor and starved
I admit I'm part bro. I'm in the gym 6 mornings a week hitting the big 3 at my limit. I love being the alpha. I size up everybody and rarely see any need for concern if things were to take a turn.

Oh, and I fucking hate hipsters.
I would pay to see this movie. Make an extended edition please.
wtf did i just watch?
SUCH a great video. Everything about it was great. Lighting, camera work, audio and picture quality. Hell, plot theme was excellent too. Better then 9 out of 10 of today's average movies!
I LOVE MY LIFE AS A DICKHEAD!!
You guys are FANTASTIC actors. Complete professionals. The use of Dubstep in the background fit in perfectly.
Broster? Idk >.
Blake Marshall Damn you to Damnation!
And their new room mate stood and smiled while the bros and hipsters clashed. Man it feels good to be apart of your own niche. Who needs to be categorized anyway?

U r a true hipster GirlCrafter17. :)

I love it when the screen cutes to black. Best way to end videos.
This is great! It's a sattire on stereotypes when in reality, most people have multiple dimensions to them.
Whoever made this needs to have their own TV show
This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen why only 1M views!!?!
This could have been drawn out into a full episode... i dig it.
GREAT short film. excellent ending, great concept, effective use of music, clever commentary on the subject, even well acted. this deserves a lot more views.
best video I've seen in a while, man.
I was definatelly expecting the guy to say he was a vampire in the end...
Thank you, can't wait for the sequel
"His glasses don't even have a prescription!" Haha, yes!
This is the greatest video on the Internet
I had to stop at 1:45 just to comment on how awesomely... awesome this video idea was. Amazing, love it, i'm raving over it. hahahha :D
@brianafreedman at 00:48 he said lacrosse pinnies. they are the mesh sleeveless shirts the guys had on at the party, usually used for practices and stuff like that
i find it hilarious that they're playing dubstep in the background since hipsters and bros both listen the shit out of it.
Incredibly well done and literally laughin out loud.
bro and hipster is equalizing the forces between nature and the second mind and together reaching equilibrium.
3:46 AYYYYYYYYYY that's my house in the background!
this is the most incredible thing I have ever seen.
I be keeping my bro to hipster ratio 2 to 1 and you always gotta be repping that pioneer lax swag. Go Purple!
he just dosnt care he's chaos trying to get the two sides in a fight
This should be a movie!
Bros vs. Hipsters is EPIC! Get a feel!
That was one of the greatest videos I have ever seen
This is great! Nice seeing all the Ann Arbor stuff too.
Dont be either. Bros and hipsters are too mainstream. Just be you dude... just be you i-_-i
This was so incredibly well done. I was in suspense the entire time!
best vid of the year
As a fan of stereotypes, I must say you did a pretty good job.
How did I just now discover this? Classic!
Clever and original...I dig it.
A Clockwork Orange in the back pocket, killed me.
the clockwork orange in the back pocket. I bout lost it.
probably a playlist they made up to this clip, bro!
This needs more views.....
dog, the music made this super epic.
this was funny as hell, thanks for posting!
Old El Paso girl: "Why Not Both?!"
Mexican Village: "AAYAYYYYYY!!!"
i thought they were going to go fight club with it and say he was them.
Clockwork Orange is an awesome book.
have you seen the movie?
Awesome, absolutely ingenious!
Watching this for the first time in 2021. This has not aged well.
I swear to god that guy the hipster one was freakin my art teacher twins i swear
"Because that's not how stereotypes works!" LOL
I want converses, I love my sweater jackets, I love scarfs, I love my bike! I must be a hipster
Brilliant.
People in Portland will just think you didn't dress up for halloween.
@PatStansik Hhahahaha this video is is genius!! Would've been great if the roommate said "I'm a Broster..." at the end. Still EPIC!
love this song!! Porter Robinson is awesome!
he's a bro he's wearing a vineyard vine pull over
meanwhile back at the fan girls headquarters = there a book adout this and at the ends the bro/hipster guy dies and every one is crying
