Every few years, some hilarious video that completely savages a San Francisco subculture surfaces. The last time we saw a video of that caliber was way back in the Fall of 2009, when 'the BBC' reported from Dolores Park. Herpes in the park! The Bi-Rite line! Apathatic 22-year-olds! Anti-American Apparel activism! Iraqi-Japanese fusion restaurants! Ah, it was good stuff.
Of course, we've been in a YouTube low ever since. Making fun of the Mission has gone from an elevated art form to a boring list of stereotypes. Shitting on the Haight stopped being funny when CW Nevius started campaigning for Sit/Lie. And the Marina is just, well, the Marina.
But out of nowhere comes the bros behind “BillyGoatProductions”, who were clever enough to just take a camera and a microphone and let the Marina speak for itself. Don't get me wrong, this video is fairly subtle—it's not a bunch of quick clips of punchlines delivered with a British accent—but what it is happens to be highly amusing.
Also, the soundtrack makes me want to take shitty drugs and dance.

I’m going to publicly out myself and say that I am in full support of the boots, skirt and jean fashion trend for women.

Don’t be afraid to rock the subtle concha wing hot pants as well in the Marina. Fashion = confidence.
