Does having a sludge element in your band automatically make your band a hipster band?[views:33273][posts:194]__________________________________________ [Dec 6,2011 10:00am - largefreakatzero ""] Fagster. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 6,2011 10:09am - Czarnobog ""] i think hipsters moved on from sludge and went back to 70's rock. pretty much over night every band in hichborn turned into deep purple. |

Everyone has a slightly different idea of what a hipster is or looks like so the word is useless in reality. We all throw the word around and laugh about it but no one really knows what it means. Ironic mustache? It's like that shirt that says "Worcester, Paris of the Eighties." Everyone thinks it's funny but no one knows why. |

| __________________________________________________________ [Dec 6,2011 4:16pm - Big bag of assorted nigger parts ""] Saw some guy at the EHG show who was trying very very very hard to look like a lumberjack, except he was a scrawny pipsqueak. Full beard, red flannel shirt, heavy wool hat, etc. Are lumberjacks hipster? No, but this kid was clearly a hipster. So - How to define it then? Nothing "elite" about this kid, but it's painfully clear that he was "going for a look" i.e. wanted his appearance to illicit a response from others. But in the past, this usually fell under the "poser" umbrella. But I think "hipster" goes farther than looks, it's like a full lifestyle of embracing the uncool in order to present an aire of cool - And it's really fucking dumb. At least wiggers dress like niggers because they actually want to be niggers. There's no way this kid aspires to be a lumberjack. Come to think of it, I saw quite a few flannels at EHG - Is that a 'thing' again? |

Elegantly summarized, Mr. Parts. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 6,2011 4:19pm - Mark_R ""] I don't think flannel stopped being a thing and came back, it's just been humming along at various degrees of visibility. At the february show the singer of EHG was wearing a flannel (if I remember correctly). But he didn't look like a lumberjack. And of course since the band is from the early 90s, they're part of the original flannel-in-rock-music movement. |

Weedeater used to play to no one at O'Briens, and tour in a small van selling homemade beef jerky at their merch booth. They took turns driving while none of them owned a valid driver's license, drinking cough syrup, puking onstage, and swallowing bags of cocaine for fun. Not many people cared, as this just was not particularly cool except to a select breed of self-described scumbag. Now Weedeater plays big places, and the same fifty or so scumbags are there. Just add a couple hundred more kids with trucker hats, v-necks, tight pants, and fixies, plus bigger vans, bigger venues, and a tour manager to keep them in line. That's the "sludge" scene in a nutshell. So-called "hipster" culture has always gravitated towards the "fashion" and ideals of the working class that their upper-middle class upbringings lacked. Considering either Electric Wizard or Isis a sludge band is a stretch, both have the elements, yet, that just ain't it. Both have/had pretty significant "hipster" followings. The E. Wiz occult thing is pretty hip right now in "doom/stoner" circles, and Isis's post-metal thing was pretty hip around the time that Oceanic was released, Pelican came out, Mogwai go more stoned, and Neurosis got more motherfucking mellow. That ain't the marrow of the matter. See Eyehategod, Grief, Buzzo*ven, Sourvein, Weedeater, Noothgrush, and Cavity for real sludge. For me, Cavity is the only one that actually ever mattered musically, but hey, my taste in music blows. Why else would I hang out here? Proceed by inference. Go see how much the attendance at shows for these bands (at least the ones still active) has jumped, and take a look at who is at the shows. Better yet, look who is supporting. Weedeater toured with with ASG. Nuff said. Eyehategod is always supported by the trendiest bands that all the cool kids follow, even the local ones. Personally, doesn't matter to me, good one them, they slugged it out for years and years while no one gave two shits. Form your own damn opinions, that's all they're ever good for. |
