ARMOR FOR SLEEP
"Williamsburg"
Smile For Them
Sire Records 2007

An emotionally charged track off the band Armor For Sleep's new album, Smile For Them, "Williamsburg" is an excellent sound byte. All about the hipster fueled Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the band calls the song and video a lighthearted joke about those trendy types we all know and hate. A little play on the snobby and elitist mindset of hipsters, posers, and wannabes, the song has got it all right. From the scarves, to the Crackberrys, to passing out in parties, and right down to the tattered deck shoes, it has everything a hipster does.
The song may sound the same as tons of other pop punk tunes out there, but it's brilliant in its own little way. I love this song, and as an eighth grader in middle school, I can relate. My school is brimming with hipsters; every step I take down the hallways brings me the gift of seeing poser after poser after poser. They are so overrated and this sweet song from an underrated band sums it all up.

I give it 4 1/2 out of 5.
