The NYT article in reference is a bummer, but the Hipster Runoff comment section here is such excellent comic relief. Some selections:

• “@FUCKBAGS, yeah bruh. 23, 25K/year jobby but i live @ rent’s house so I can still have a meaningful lifestyle [via no rent/food costs]. Also feel like i may get ‘fired’ from work ‘at any moment’ due to some sort of ‘lackluster work ethic’. Idk, just feel like we were raised on promises [via tom petty] and now the word is totally ‘boning us’. i really dk, just feel like i should be able to chill forever for free and get all the things i want in life without any real struggle at all.”
• “@FUCKBAGS, i know bro, i went the grad school route. now 23 with 2 meaningless degrees, a futon in my parents basement, and 129 dollars to my name. going to run out of cash soon (via 3 steel reserve 40’s a day habit).”
• “Feel a lot more ‘normal’ after reading this. In celebration, gonna chill extra hard today.”
• “scared yall, what if i spend my life searching 4 buzzbands and nvr do anything meaningfulcore.”
• “so happy i’m not a ginger.”
