Joy Division Graffiti Invades Silver Lake

5:32 PM EST on February 17, 2006

Hipsters are tagging Ian Curtis' legendary motto in Silver Lake, and Blogging.la is pissed:

Seriously, what kind of faux-gangster tags a wall in SILVER LAKE with "Love Will Tear Us Apart XOXO"?!?! Is that what the kids think is cool? Is there cred in that? Silver Lake isn't THAT horribly hipster-gentrified that dropped Joy Division lyrics gets you street cred (though god help you all if 'indie cred' translated to street cred) If you know that black Ford Focus in the picture above, go punch the stupid driver and their stupid friends in their stupid necks!
