Henry Rollins vs Hipsters

An excerpt from the tv program "Durch die Nacht mit... (Into the Night with...) Henry Rollins and Shirin Neshat". Henry gets mocked by local hipsters at the record store and fights back immediately.

Henry Rollins hears the girl yell out his name and his first thought is- "There's no choice but to confront you, engage you, to erase you, I've gone to great links to expand my threshold of pain, I'll use all of my mistakes against you, there's no other choice. I'm nameless now, I'm nothing now, I'm no one now, but my soul must by iron cause my fear is naked. Naked and fearless and my fear is naked, Dead Inside".

This is just social anxiety folks. He went into fight or flight mode. I do the same from time to time and I usually feel like an idiot afterwards. It’s almost like a fit of PTSD.

imo cause he has also spoken about how it takes him 3 times to do the same thing someone learns after the first time and works harder to make sure he does, and being diagnosed "hyperactive" through school, he seems to have ADHD, and this is similar looking to RSD or "rejection sensitive disorder" which is observed a lot in folks with ADHD. In saying that I definitely don't think ADHD, anxiety and PTSD are mutually exclusive a lot of the time.

[@RickJaeger]

I think back on this interaction a lot. It's so bizarre, I don't even know who's at fault, or if anyone's at fault. Are they hipsters? Was it a slight? Did Rollins overreact? Was he right to overreact in order to preempt further slighting? Is Rollins down to earth, super full of himself, both, or neither? Would everyone involved still behave the way they did if they'd known how this got lame and weird fast? It's confusing and unpleasant how confusing it is. I can't possibly form an opinion on the events. Even saying "Henry gets mocked by local hipsters at the record store and fights back immediately" only very loosely describes what actually happened. In the literal sense, that is exactly what Rollins seemed to think in the moment. It's just a very confusing episode of a short, awkward social situation where something maybe happened, but then nothing happened, because a bunch of animals made some noises at each other and moved around. I don't like thinking of human beings like that. I don't see how I can look at this excerpt and think anything else.

[@Devilock79]

Listen to Rollins Band, he's incredibly insecure. But also has a massive ego. I don't even know how that works.

[@SteinhauerJohn]

rodrigo sarpi - Listen to him describe what everyone else in the store allegedly thinks about him. 'They think I'm an old sell-out. They think I'm bourgeois.' And then he has to confront them, to condescend and put them in their place. He can't just walk away thinking 'I'm Henry Rollins. They are just a bunch of kids - whatever, doesn't matter what they think of me.' He's clearly bothered, he clearly cares what they think, and I would say, his comments and behavior are indicative of insecurity.

[@cadenpardo7795]

For what it's worth, I think the behavior in the video did indicate she was mocking him. We can presume a friend told her Rollins was there, to which we hear her respond from the other room "HENRY ROLLINS IS HERE?!" in a deliberately conspicuous fashion, followed by group laughter. She clearly wanted him to hear that. The video cuts to some minutes later, and I think during that timespan if an idol of mine was at a record shop I frequent I'd perhaps make an approach, or respectfully wait to catch them on their way out. Instead during those several minutes, she saw her initial passive wisecrack didn't incite the reaction she had hoped for, so she made a second one yelling "Get in the van!" I think after that second remark Rollins decided to give her the reaction she sought. From there you can argue all day as to who won the ensuing verbal tiff, but I think if you objectively follow the whole interaction, regardless of your personal disposition you may have towards Henry or the hipster chick, she was pretty clearly talkin' some shit. And if she wasn't, she sucks at being a fan, because she sure made it seem like she was mocking him in another room but with the intention of him overhearing. The man is an icon, with an iconic temper. It makes sense. Who you think is in the right is another matter entirely.

[@circularsky]

I don't think you'd have to argue all day. It's plain to see that Rollins "won," in the sense that he accurately laid bare the East Village crowd.

[@NealDamiano]

I think you hit this situation spot on, good on you and I agree with you 100%. People don't take the time to analyze. The girl deliberately sought out to gain his attention whether it be from a snarky or fan standpoint she went about it the wrong way. I believe it was more on the snarky side after viewing it twice but I don't think she was trying to be all that mean. Rollins reaction was a little overboard but it's fucking Henry Rollins the guy is an intense dude who doesn't deal with bullshit very well. What do you expect.

This issue should be laid to rest because she is yelling stuff out while they are filming, which shows inherent disrespect. Because are they supposed to keep doing more takes or what?

They WERE actually heckling him! At first I did have the opinion that maybe Rollins was overreacting to an admiring fan, and then reading through the comments I considered the opposite argument that the girl was heckling him. But if you analyze the video a few times, they really were heckling him. The girl is in earshot of Rollins and the very second immediately after he says that the record store "caters to an elitist group of young people" ...the girl sarcastically hollered "Henry Rollins is here?!". and then as Rollins continues talking, she says "get in the van" at 1:15 and 1:17 , and then she can be heard louder saying "hey sweet tooth" ..."get in the van" twice again at 1:24 and 1:26. And then when he confronts them on it they have the neck to try tell him he's being paranoid, they don't even have the balls to own what they said to him. In reality these hipster girls took it personally when Rollins said the store caters to an elitist group of young people. They also seem to be offended that Rollins is filming in "their" record store.

Why _else_ would it be hard to watch-except in the same way it's hard to watch someone whose legs have been paralyzed try to walk, perhaps? Not to say that getting bullied as a child is the same _seriousness_ as any physical or mental impairment, but it is still an impairment.

[@pwoods100]

I mean that in the best way. The punk scene was still in it's infancy when he joined. They were playing basements and backwater clubs, that were pretty scary at the time. Just about every other show was shut down by the police, and they beat the fans up or vice versa. Then half the time the band was being beaten up by skin heads, or again - vice versa. People would go to the shows just to get into fights with the band, because they were bored or had nothing else to do. They would even get in fights with other bands. Henry would sometimes stab himself with glass, or cause himself pain just for the hell of it. Then he might just punch someone, just on a whim for no reason. Just because he felt like it. The band was constantly in and out of the hospital and in and out of jail. They were either in stitches or in hand cuffs, sometimes both. As if that wasn't enough, they literally starved, in abject living conditions, constantly tired from driving and sleeping on the floor. Their van always broke down. They lived from second to second, and day to day. Henry lived this way for six years, but Greg Ginn was doing it years even before that. They had to sometimes sneak into restaurants and finish people's plates when they got up and left, because they didn't have any money for food. All for the glory of punk rock. That's a pretty fucked up way to tour. I know it can get worse, but most bands wouldn't even think about doing that today.

Put two hipsters in a room together and watch self-inflated egos clash.
