Offbeat: Hipster doesn’t buy Hot Pockets with his food stamps, feels heat

  • What makes them less deserving of assistance when they need it than anyone else who qualifies, and why is it such a travesty that food stamp recipients have access to quality, healthy food?
  • Gerry Mak • One of the main subjects in a Salon story titled “Hipsters on Food Stamps,” which is officially our band’s new name. He got heavily criticized because he’s a broke arty kid who doesn’t have many job prospects, lives in Baltimore (where unemployment is very high), and uses his food stamp money to buy rabbits to cook and eat, along with other foodie-type foods not generally associated with food stamps. Mak suggests the negative response to the story “reflects the larger race and class conflicts in this country – the underlying sentiment behind many people’s hatred toward artists is that art is purely the domain of the wealthy and the privileged.” Ah, hipsters. We’re gonna drink a Dale’s Pale Ale in Mak’s honor. source
