Video: Singer Meg Myers Declares War on Hipsters in Echo Park and Silver Lake

The fierce Meg Myers is armed with a nerf gun in her new music video "Tennessee," and she's taking aim squarely at the hipsters.

Myers, a transplant from Tennessee has had enough of the PBR, the stylized mustaches, the self-absorption:

Whoa man
So you like, don't have a last name?
That's genius
Douche
Wait what
Your friend drives a vegan bbq truck?
I don't think so
God I miss Tennessee

Buzzbands.LA reports that no hipsters were harmed in the filming of this video. But we'll watch our back next time we're at the polka dot pedestrian plaza at Silver Lake, the Brite Spot and or anywhere along the eastern end of Sunset Boulevard.Related:
