Saddest I mean. The saddest video I've seen in a long time in fact. Fair warning to aging hipsters, so, you know, everyone I know, you may experience sharp pangs of existential shame as a result of watching this parody of the Fun. song "We Are Young" recast for thirty-somethings. Who directed this thing, Sarte? Jesus, I'm having a panic attack watching it, especially after having just read this piece on Salon today No sympathy for the creative class. (I highly recommend reading it.)
It's about how no one seems to give a shit that the "creative class" is struggling. And unlike, say, when a steel worker loses his job, when a musician is out of work, people tend to react more harshly. In fairness though, that dude's band probably sucked.

"For those who made their living playing on records and movie soundtracks, “All of a sudden, they’re making about 60 percent of what they did. What I see is a lot of people looking for things outside music — a lot of people have gotten real estate licenses. I know people who’ve added massage therapist.” LIKE IN THE VIDEO! Maybe they should consider a career in the field of mildly amusing internet parody videos? Doesn't seem to be any shortage of demand for those at the moment.
Video below. Don't watch it while old.
PS: unrelated, but saw this pic on the Salon link and LOL'd. "Yeah, I'm into Saloncore lately. Screamy songs about NYC cultural issues and politics. Glenn Greenwald haircuts and shit."

If you embrace your age, you'll be fine. If you pretend it isn't happening you'll just be creepy.
Yeah yeah, it's not as bad as the video or my commentary made it sound. Just don't get fat is pretty much the only rule.
Get fat if you want to. Just embrace it. Thats one of the gifts of getting old: You dont have to give a crap what other people think unless they're the ones writing your paycheck or watching your kids.
You may be right, but I'm not ready to sign off on it.
