Hipsters are destroying metal[views:12044][posts:94]__________________________________________ [Jan 14,2009 10:22am - Conservationist ""] Normal, healthy people pick music they want to listen to. Hipsters pick music to make themselves look good. A hipster is defined by this reversed cause/effect, and this is why they parallel our society: like people looking for political handouts, they are justifying themselves to others instead of acting as they know is right. In metal, the hipster is the person always trying to be different, to pick music that is brainy or "authentic" (simple), the person spreading trends and fads. Instead of being an authentic fan who picks the music he or she thinks is best, the hipster is using the music as adornment to conceal their ordinariness. What is a hipster I'd like my grindcore without flute or divas, please. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 14,2009 10:34am - MikeofDecrepitude ""] Who actually cares about these people? It's pretty fucking gay if you say you like music that you really don't, just to appear eccentric and ahead of the curve. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 14,2009 10:37am - dreadkill ""] if you like eccentric and weird music, fine. i agree that people who choose to listen to a band because it makes them look different or cutting edge are pussies who should be fought hard. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 14,2009 10:52am - arilliusbm ""] Certain people just try to hard to stand out. One may notice this on an adventure through Park Street train station, the B Line Greenline route, and getting off in Allston. I go to band practice like that and that place is swarming with hipsters. Makes me want to puke.. even though some of the girls are attractive. |

I don't have to wear this sweater! I don't have to pretend I like black metal and attempt to smooth over the dissonance between my personal beliefs and those of the artists! I don't even need to wear glasses! I love football! I no longer have to buy Sunn 0))) records and listen to an hour of feedback to show everyone how unique I am, more Katy Perry! We don't have to call movies films anymore! No more tickling your balls, I can actually enjoy eating pussy! I totally want to eat like 15 Egg McMuffins to make up for my stupid veganism phase! I don't have to buy a bunch of crap on vinyl and hide my iPod when friends come over! When I want to have sex with girls I can do it with a bitch who looks half decent rather than some scenester slampig covered in Kurt Halsey tattoos! |

Maybe... Metal lives on because of the passion one has for it. Hipsters don't have passion for it, they only listen and start "metal" bands for reasons explained in that article. When the passion dies so does "True" Metal with it. But aslong as Metal is in our memories there will be at least one that truely loves Metal... You know? Like a small island inhabited by natives. Then abunch of obnoxious yupies move in because of the cultural "charm" eventually driving out the less wealthy natives. The true culture of the island in nearly wiped out. |

Yeah, I was never able to understand the Sunn O))) craze among art-fag kids. Last time I saw Sunn it was filled with kids I'd never expect at a show like that. I think within 20 minutes all of those kids were gone, and only about 15 people were watching them. |

That said, I've heard that some of the later books in that series (Faith of the Fallen?) are somewhat better, but I don't know how much I want to find out. I read Wizard's First Rule in 8th grade. At that point I'd gotten over the Dragonlance stuff and at the time I thought it was really awesome high fantasy. I read the next few books in the series and I think I stopped at Faith of the Fallen. I really enjoyed them when I was a kid, they were massive and at the same time easy to grasp - it only focused on a handful of characters and there wasn't a lot of crazy underlying themes or intrigue. Faith of the Fallen was alright, the main character gets imprisioned in some dark-age dictatorship country and shows people humanism and art. I have no desire to pick up the series again. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 6,2011 12:05pm - Mark_R ""] I LOVED the two Weiss/Hickman Dragonlance trilogies. I even liked the one that came later (about the timeslip thing). Those were my favorites as a teen. I did not grow up reading fantasy and still am disposed against it, but Weiss/Hickman got to me somehow. |
