Hipsters are destroying metal[views:12046][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 10:37am - 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. |

| ______________________________________ [Jan 14,2009 1:22pm - goatcatalyst ""] I think the decline of tape-trading culture (aka the internet) ruined metal. You must send 2 IRCs to reply to this post |

| _________________________________________ [Jan 14,2009 5:58pm - BobNOMAAMRooney ""] Yeah but on a positive note, everyone can stop being hipsters because MCDONALDS SELLS FUCKING LATTES NOW! 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! |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 14,2009 6:42pm - quintessence ""] I'm sick of this as well. Providence is ripe with them.... Not so much girl pants, but beards, messenger bags, flannel vegans. FUCK OFF!!!!!!!! Its generally hard to find smart *real* metal people around here. Makes me sad... |

| _______________________________________ [Jan 14,2009 10:01pm - ThirdKnuckle ""] our friend conservationist explained what a hipster is, but never explained how they are destroying metal. since hipsterism has probably been around about as long as pop culture has, i eagerly await the explanation of his original thesis. |

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. |
