Some snarky artists put up sign in Williamsburg that says DO NOT FEED THE HIPSTERS


From what I understand, tons of artists are 'trying to go viral' after Banksy/Shepard Fairey got famous for being vandals with a progressive message about society, content sharing, intellectual property, Obama, consumerism, global issues, art, privacy, Big Brother, public safety, and just about any other relevant buzz topic. Tons of artists are trying to 'get their guerrilla on' to garner fame + credibility. Some 'art collective' called Trustocorp made an easily memeable sign about not feeding hipsters and put it at McCarren Park in Williamsburg, the home of the Hipster Olympics.

Does n e 1 know if 'hipsters' really live in Williamsburg/Brooklyn, or is that an outdated stereotype?
Do u think more people saw this sign in person, or on the internet?
Is it an artist's job to impact a space, or to create an easy-to-capture photo/video meme of their art in order to reach a larger audience?

Wonder if Trustocorp is going to be able to garner authentic respect in the art world if the best meme they can come up with is 'Do Not feed The Hipsters.' Seems like it might have staying power, like the type of thing a mainstreamer will put in her facebook feed in 2 years, but maybe not enough 'meme pizazz' to be considered 'art' instead of 'a meme.' Worried that the sign wasn't visually captivating enough, like the symbol of 'hipster' didn't make much sense.

What would u have done to make this sign more worthy of 'being a sharable meme'?

Is this sign 'snarky'?
Are you still into 'hipster bashing'?
Do u know what 'hipsters' are fed? Nuggets of culture? Buzz mp3s? vegan baked goods? Chili's?
R u gonna move to Brooklyn one day to launch your art project / chillwave sound project?
Is Williamsburg in New York or Virginia?
Will u make money from ur studio art degree if all u can do is make memes?
Are Brooklyn based memes more successful than other memes because you can include the word 'hipster' in the headline?
