R&P: Opinions on hipsters?!


Question: R&P: Opinions on hipsters!?
also known as "snobs", hipsters are the people who like a band because no one else likes it, will search for the "unknown band" in a music scene, and who above all else, love the Velvet Underground, Television, and Sonic Youth!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Wow

I above all else love the Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth and Television!.

You can throw in Neutral Milk Hotel, Radiohead, and the Pixies onto that list as well!.

How about Animal Collective and Wolf Parade - or Arcade Fire before they got big!.

By your definition, I'm definitely a hipster!. Most people would definitely conclude that I was a hipster!.
most of all you have to be a pretentious, self-deprecating ***hole about it!. which still describes me!.
so sad!.

Well hipsters encompass more than just music choices!. They also look down on mainstream art, television, and anything that "normal" people perceive to be "cool!." They are on the cutting edge, which more often than not means gentrification and "vintage" clothing!. They exude the depths of snobbery and will hate on and pick apart everything that you like because they are after all "hip" and are much cooler than you'll ever be!. They have artsy jobs that allow them to dress exactly like every other hipster (while being different) and having multiple visible tattoos!.

As far as music goes, hipsters tend to drop bands/musical acts/Icelandic harp players the moment they get any notoriety, thus making them "mainstream!."

BTW No self-respecting hipster would ever admit to being one!. May not be your thing but listen to Say Anything's "Admit it!" for a near perfect account of the hipster phenomenon!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

You know, I used to live near a sort of hipster hub (Silverlake, CA - a section of Los Angeles) and the people who are on the level about it were actually pretty cool, but particularly as someone who has a very short fuse for condescension and general snootiness, I found the snobby ones to be pretty infuriating!.

I think it's a shame though that people get painted with such a broad brush!. A lot of those folks, though they look the part a great deal, were incredibly nice people!.

I've met the type though!. I just don't like snobs, and it's like anything else!. Just like classic rock snobs, metal snobs, hip hop snobs, etc!. Snobs are jerks in general!. A couple of people answering this are acting like snobs in the way they are answering!. Awfully presumptuous too!.

By that definition I'm probably a hipster!. A concept that I find incredibly laughable!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

They're just as poser -ish as people who decide to listen to a band because it's popular!. You should like a band because the music is awesome, which isn't connected to how known they are!. I like some unknown bands, i like some known bands!. I judge a band on the music!. The Velvet Underground are cool, i like them!.

I don't like posers, but 'hipsters' are right in a sense, that the less known bands tend to be in it for the music, not the money, which means better music (ever heard of corporate vomit!?)!.

But, definitely, some 'hipsters' do just think it's cool to like a band because it's unknown, which is bullsh!t!. If you do something just to look cool, then aren't you a poser by definition!? Www@Enter-QA@Com

I like bands like The Velvet Underground and Sonic Youth, and i've had hipster friends (that are very immature and can argue for hours about who found the band first) but i like finding new bands, because i know there is more good music out there, that shouldn't go unheard!

HIPSTERS ARE SISSIES! Www@Enter-QA@Com

thats pretty much me!. except you have motivations wrong!. i like unknown music (as well as known music such as the VU) because it exists and is just as good or better than mainstream music!. my motivation is love of music, it has nothing to do with how many people like it!. and you shouldn't assume other peoples motivations!.

Fonzi- i laughed so hard when i saw that pictureWww@Enter-QA@Com

New York hipsters are ANNOYING as all hell!.

They think they're being sooo damn cool & they all dress alike:

ALL of them wear the skinny black jeans, Converse sneaks & a dozen variations of this dumb hat:

I wanna smack it off their heads!.

The hipsters that work at Blender magazine should be drawn & quartered!.


edit*

Wire lol! Oh man, but really!. It's like they don't realize or Care that 50,000 other people are also wearing the same hat!!.!.!.all within 15 blocks of each other!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Good on them!. I admit to being a hipster!.

Pop music sucks, especially when little kids say that the pop music out today is better than The Beatles, or Rolling Stones!.

Most unknown bands make the best music!. Not necessarily the best quality, but the best in general!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

hipsters are the people who want to be artists!. they look like us, they dress like us, they go the same places as us, they will even make art like us, but they are not us!. we have no other way to communicate, while hipsters use this as a socializing tool!. they make connections with people high up and they go to the newest band's show, they can live without art!. we cannot!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think they are pretty cool, if they aren't snobs!. The fact that they like to find new music is refreshing!. I see nothing wrong with looking for something different!. Acting like they are above people because they listen to bands that some people have never heard of, is not cool!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I like a lot of underground bands!. However just liking a band because they don't have many fans is ridiculous!. I like when underground bands get noticed!. I don't understand hipsters!. To be completely honest I don't understand most people at all!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think of hipsters as kids from the Midwest who now live in Brooklyn and are just toooo cool for me!.

I always thought of their tastes as rather transient, the notion that they would like a certain band forever is confusing to me!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

snobs are people who think their music taste is better than everyone elses kind of like meWww@Enter-QA@Com

they seem to think their betta cuz they listen to music people dont know about and think yeah im cool cuz i got it first F_CK EM as ice cube says
Www@Enter-QA@Com

Like everyother kind of person they have their positives and their negatives!. Mostly I like people who go against the norm!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Velvet Underground, Television, and Sonic Youf kick asss!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

"Snobs" seem to be okay!. It's also good to get interested in not well-known bands!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

liking underground bands is fine by me, unless they like a band only because it isnt well known!. thats just lame!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think it's great!. If it wasn't for people like them, we wouldn't have had punk rock in the 70s!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
