Bela Lugosi plead…

You probably recall the trouble Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy got into back in March when he was arrested in Glendale, California for driving under the influence of drugs, hit-and-run and possessing crystal meth. Police reports said he appeared confused and even had difficulty recalling what day it was.

Although the goth legend initially pleaded not guilty to all three charges, he changed his tune when he was sentenced on October 10 in a Los Angeles court. Murphy plead no contest to misdemeanor hit-and-run driving and guilty to the methamphetamine possession charge, as reported by Glendale News.

The singer must also attend 45 days of Narcotics Anonymous meetings, perform ten days of community service and submit to random drug tests.

meth hipsters
 
At this point, “hipster” has basically become a catch-all for anyone under the age of 35 whose mother doesn’t dress them, so any and all drug consumption habits have fallen under the Instagram glow of this amorphous label.

Take alcohol, for example. Hipsters drink craft beer because they’re into DIY and micro-brews. Or is it that hipsters drink wine because it’s “artistic”? Oh wait, hipsters drink shitty malt liquor and PBR because it’s “ironic!” Or bougie mixed drinks made by these so-called “mixologists”? Or more esoteric hooch, like sarsaparilla and moonshine (ooh, retro!)?

Well you’re all wrong, because everyone knows drinking is soooooo over. Nowadays, hipsters do meth! Not only that, they make twee little videos about cooking it themselves! Next stop, Etsy! Maybe they can’t sell the drug there directly, but I’m sure they could make an adorable little illustrated how-to guide, and there’s all sorts of “cooking” accouterments that could be sold as accessories? Hand-felted meth pipes from recycled cat hair, for example!

(By the way, growing up in meth country, I was into meth wayyyyyy before it became hip!)

Darren Aronofsky, the director of The Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream (and fellow Paul Laffoley collector!) made these three amazing spots for The Meth Project.

Normally when I see PSAs against drugs, it makes me feel like taking some. Not this time!

For fuck’s sake are these grim. Brilliant choice of a director here. All involved deserve kudos.
 

 
More loveliness after the jump…
