I have to watch old videos like this to remember Portland the way it should be... not too long ago it was authentic and awesome, just like this. Now it’s like the soul has left.... Portland!!! I miss you!! My heart is broken for my old city... 💔

This doc is almost a decade old, the rose city has gotten a lot scarier

Nice video! Thank you for sharing.

I still love my city, but where did you go?...... please come back!!

sigh... mid 2000s hawthorne. . .

I'd have to be homeless to afford to live there. Thanks, Agenda 21

Q: so whats the chronology of Weird Portland? A: it starts with THE WIPERS and all the scene descended from them from 1975 on. Ice 9, Systematic, Trap, Tombstone, Theater of Sheep, Babes In Toyland, Hole, Nirvana, Heatmiser, Quasi, Spin Age Blasters, Glass Candy and the Shattered Theater, the Clorox Girls - the X-Ray Cafe - Aural Fixation - the Meow Meow - The Mercury and AB SAB the Student Activities department of PSU - KBOO - Powells - Voodoo Donuts (where the Bacon and Maple Barr is named for me and Maple and our obsession with "Roseanne"), our Girl/Boy Interrupted 2000 Riot Girl campaign also known as LISA ROWE ROWE ROWE YR BOAT TO SAVE DAISY in which I was LISA'S ROWE'S BOYFRIEND - our never-ended DALLAS scene drama - DIAMOND TUCK, SILVERKINGS, DISCOURAGE ROCK N ROLL and the bands who continued the EXPLODING HEARTS - The Nice Boys, Slan, and The Neat - then SEWERS OF PARIS and ITALIANS DO IT BETTER. KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD commemorates the same thing AN INSTANT ATTRACTION does - Johnny Jewel coming up from Texas after the Geto Boys blew up to meet Ida at Fred Meyers in 1996 where I was his Courtesy Clerk, yr Boy Courtney of FRINGE WEIRD - PAGAN MAGIC PROJECT MAYHEM and the ALIEN BOYS. Here's to 2021 that we KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD and working.

THE WEIRDEST PERSON IN PORTLAND, OR - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXfPlKuPhcugl7c

I thought Montreal was bad. If you don't like Portland, don't ever visit Montreal.

Can't believe I was in this video

You couldnt pay me enough to move to anywhere that political radicals of either side are not only tolerated, but accepted and often cheered on.

4:00 He's her pet. Look at how intensely he radiates beta particles. You can tell he really wants to date her but she wants to stay just friends and talk about her dates with other guys..

portland is antifa capitol . lol tons of gutter homeless and drug addicts. most of the milleniels and earlier generations are confused about what they are and what they stand for

I don't like being called weird

Most depressing place I've ever lived in. You can have my part of Portland. I'm safe and warm in Florida.

Ok, it was really WEIRD that the homeless guy had to explain that the cover song was by a "guy" named Willie Nelson. Like is he serious? The kids dont know that he is an ICON in American music?? sad

Read below for worst joke not known to man What did the hipster river say to the popular river? You’re too mainstream

Not one Black or Spanish person in this video. This is what happens when whites are left alone for too long.

I don't find this video informative or appealing. I find it very sad.

Crack head at the end that’s what you will find in Portland

And the guy at the end says if you not transparent then don’t come to Portland but all the thug groups there where masks 🎭 on their faces! This place looks terrible!

Gosh, i am so proud to be born and raised in oregon!

Liberal policies always end up in crime and shit

Can you say “narcissistic” ? Can I get an amen?

those café workers are hilarious

Lol. Portland people hold themselves so high because “they are who they are” but JUDGE people who don’t choose the same path, that’s just who they are so what are you complaining about 😂😂 Not saying I’m not “transparent” but not everyone goes and sticks a needle in their arm just because they thought about it 😂 Be proud of where you’re from but don’t put people down or judge them because they didn’t come from the same place!

Yes you are

Honestly how`s portland these days? i`ll probably never go because im from another country but i found pretty interesting the city that originally was the suppoused communion, hipster and weird/interesting paradise but later everybody outside USA like forgot about that place (or at least i haven´t heard anything relevand besides the comments of some people saying that Portland was a femnazi`s and social justice warriors gathering place some time ago).

any intelligent people there?

yeah, I'll stay home then.. Thx for the advice.

Lots of really unpleasant messed up people in Portland

Most of these happy go lucky hipsters will end up like the last woman in the video....high and homeless dependent on OPP.

I live in Portland In the 🇬🇧 and we’re all very weird!

Portland isn't weird anymore because all the post-Portlandia people who moved here aren't weird and all the actual weird creative people got pushed out. Portland is more like San Francisco every day.

Portland is actually a pretty depressing city, filled with people trying to hard to be cool , the oregon scenery is pretty tho!

When a bunch of people all decide to be weird,..in the same way,......they are not weird , let alone original.

Why did they have to use hokey and country music.

The guy on the guitar was awesome! Plays amazingly and has a great voice!

I'm such an OG portland hipster. I remember seeing the first homeless guy with a cat on his shoulder. It was yellow and still a kitten they even did a small news story about him.

No women in Portland most have politically corrected themselves into ugly mean self proclaimed lefty thay can have it ,GET old and smother there cat, cause no man will have them.

you got to love it or leave it, I love it.

Even the music is very Portland. Dreary, depressing, sad.

Haha, Portland IS really weird. You won't get it if you've been raised there.

Portland is rapidly becoming the s*******hole California is !.

whatsup dude im nature

Way too much nature.Lol

I can't wait to move now!

Outlaw plastic shopping bags that many homeless used to poop in, and now have no options.. fucking idiots! Want to make Oregon into Calfornia? Take a look at other Dem run States and Cities.. The drug addicts and homeless are legion! This is not new, but much much worse after 8 years of failed Obama policies!

Can't wait to live here!

Spent time there scenery is nice but for the most part the people are awful. Would not live there
