When a hipster blog gets too mainstream....

   Greetings fellow hipsters,
I apologize for my lack of posts over the month, the truth is that the blog was becoming to mainstream. It was a suggestion in the Google bar and i needed to wait for the views to simmer down.
    I now shall continue occasional posts and still remain active.

     Oh and news, my band finally has a name, what do you think of batteries not included?

Amazing hipster album #3: Permanent waves

With Geddy Lee high pitched singing and bass work, Neil Pearts evocative lyrics and drum mastery, and Alex Lifeson's all around awesomeness, rush's seventh studio album is a landmark in the history of progressive rock. What i like about rush is the fact that the band is simply a trio, but in pieces like free will and entre nous and many others, it seems that the band is comprised of many more. 

    My favorite lyric in the world is still in debate, with two contenders from rush songs, one being freewill, the single from the album. The lyric is "and if you chose not to decide you still have made a choice." I chose not to decide between that and "the spaces in between us, give room you and i to grow". Both lyrics are both awesome, and unlike most of progressive rocks lyrics, uplifting. Rush has a overall happy feel to their music, and it is brought out in permanent waves. Rush has had very few feuds between members, and have actively worked together since 1974, and for Lee and Lifeson, since 1968.

           Overall,this album was not one of rushes more popular albums, however, it is my one of my favorites. This is the single free will, enjoy.

Jack white is such a hipster.

"I never wanted to play the guitar, every body played the guitar"-jack white

             Greetings fellow hipsters, today i will talk of an amazing hipster who tried not to become mainstream. He has many radical ideas that are very contrary to mainstream. He believes in music more than most do but still, somehow, he found a mainstream audience. That made me quite upset, however his motives are strong. He doesn't  write music to please an audience, and he intentionally puts himself in less comfortable situations so his music is less processed and possessing of the emotion of very old blues singers. No, he doesn't wear hipster clothing, however he has alternative ideas and voices them through his Montgomery airline guitar, Hammond organ,and beat up upright piano.

        Here is a video of jack white complaining about technology, it is accompanied by his take on the Mississippi Sheiks blues masterpiece, that he plays with such ferocity that i am surprised that the piano didn't deflagrate.

Hipster quote #3

"So many hipsters are using macs, i think i'd get a pc, to be ironic, Or maybe ill stay with the mac, and reffer to it as Macintosh, so every body thinks that

i am talking about an apple not a computer made by Apple."

Hipster rule # 469

Greetings fellow hipsters, today i will talk about what you buy. As a hipster, you must buy things that are cheap to be ironic, or extremely expensive to be classy. A hipster has some need for simplicity, look at rock groups such as the white stripes and black keys who play very old beat up simplistic instruments. in the start of the documentary, it might get loud, jack white builds a guitar, and asks who says you have to buy one. 

On the other hand, guitarists such as Fripp, Gilmore, Bonamassa, and many others play the finest of guitars, producing beautiful tones and producing likewise, amazing music.

     If you follow Rule # 458 you fit into the ironic category. Also referring back to rule 456, if you are using something expensive, be ironic, still no beats.

  Just remember, if you are wearing a ratty used clearance sale flannel, while wearing Bose headphones, shure headphones are still better.

Is Robert Langdon a Hipster?

           Greetings fellow hipsters, today, i am doing another hipster book character debate
Normally sporting a mickey mouse watch, a historical artifact, a relatively good looking female accomplice, dan brown's robert langdon doesn't look a hipster, however he has many hipster attributes. He has different opinions from every body else, including thoughts about religion, history, and technology.
      When langdon researches something, or has somebody else research something, he will not let google searches pass as proper research. He is an extremely accomplished author, but his books only have a cult following because the subjects he deals with are so obscure. He puts often unforeseen controversies on the table, much like a hipster, though Bertrand zobrist was so controversial, i consider him a radical, not a hipster. i feel his character would not not approve of rap or hip hop.
   It does mention him listening to classical music, but in mentioned in a previous post, we're not sure if hipster classical music exists.
      Music is not the only thing that makes a hipster, his new theories and opaque interests melding with his sharp wit, whether Langdon is a hipster or not is arguable both ways.
    Comment to tell me what you think,
            Nate and Pablo Salute you.

Hipster clothing in old navy

 WHY! WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY?   

         

     But seriously, why are they emulating us/ making the clothing we wear and clothing people think we adorn mainstream if people dislike hipsters so much. They think we are pompous egomaniacs who refuse to listen to what people say and go out of the way to hinder our piers, yet they like our clothing. I found low collar sweaters with odd patterns, skinny jeans, denimish button down shirts, beanies with the laces, and flannels everywhere, as if we are encouraged. That is like an american idol contestant who got voted down by Randy Jackson wearing his designer glasses and giving interviews about how irate he is at r.j. People should not try to look like a hipster if they don't like hipsters.

Pet peeve: people judging hipsters by those who wear man scarfs

             I am a hipster. I don't wear man scarfs. Man scarfs are impractical, practically impossible to wear comfortably, and a practical means for somebody to strangle me with.

         Greetings fellow hipsters, today i shall rant about society yet again, to create a tedious, yet monotonous post that nobody will enjoy reading, unless of course, they find dry humor, radical notions, and numerical radicals neurologically stimulating. If that is the case, i don't understand you in the slightest and would recommend that you hoist your opinions upon others for my entertainment. But in all serious, i have never entertained the notions of wearing a scarf when not partaking in snowball warfare, isn't that entertaining.
             
        I have much hindrance grasping how these niftily decorated nooses have wound it's way into  stereotypical  hipster culture, which, if you have read past posts on my blog, you would possess the knowledge that stereotypical hipster culture varies greatly from actual hipster culture. I have met 3 male figures in my life time. One i met briefly at a cross country invitational, clad in ray bands, skinny jeans, a sweater and a beanie, as you would have suspected, i avoided them at all costs. The second was an Israeli music instructor at my summer camp, who was by no means a hipster, though he was quite hysterical, particularly when he found chipmunks doing indecent thing in a toilet. The third, well let's just say he was about as anti-hipster as Disney is anti racial accuracy. I would have assumed, that with the amount of hipsters i hang out with, and the amount of man scarfs i have scene, that the stereotype is utterly false.
      It seems ridiculous that a fashions can make one part of a group. Even more ridiculous is that the most unconventional, false-associated piece of clothing. Isadora Duncan, antigone and many others have been killed by scarfs, and they were female. Scarfs cannot possibly render positive repercussions when worn for recreational  purposes.
      Say no to drugs, but first say no to scarfs.

Hipster rule # 468

Greetings fellow hipsters, Don't use Itunes to buy your music, however, you still need to support the artist. Your favorite band, (if you are a hipster) probably doesn't make that much money. If you download their music illegally, they don't reap any reward for their hard work in producing their music. Itunes is ridiculously expensive and not worth the money, however, if you use alternate online music stores which are cheaper and have a greater amount of indie music, the artist will still ear some money, while you don't pay as much. Today i found a very gritty bluesy artist dubbed the dirty diary, he is so awesome, his youtube videos barely have ten thousand views. I'm cooler, mine barely have 100.      

    The point is that you shouldn't be too lazy to pay for your music, when the artist wasn't to lazy to make it. 

      If you are a true hipster, you won't have to worry about this rule because all of your music is on vinyl. DON'T ROB RECORD STORES.

Amazing hipster album#2: cage the elephant.

Greetings fellow hipsters, this weeks hipster album, we will discuss cage the elephant's self titled first album. Following in the footsteps of beck, nirvana and other 1990's alternative rockers, cage the elephant features catchy, dynamic and raw sounding  tracks. It was produced under an indie label, and does not sound like anybody was telling them how to sound. The band itself almost had a top 40 hit, but luckily, they didn't. It did however peak at 6th in "Mainstream rock billboards" so that sort of sucks, i licked the song before it got famous, so i'm allowed listen to it. The song in question was never played on pop-radio because it was so different from the garbage that they forced through the listeners speakers, therefore, i don't consider it a pop song. My favorite song off the album is "In one ear" so i'll show it to you.
 Please tell me what you think is an amazing hipster album in the comment section

Andrew Muller, pretty much my biggest influence for playing guitar.

Greetings fellow hipsters, today i shall talk about why i play the guitar.

It was four or five summers ago, and i was going to my summer camp in Canada, never before really having met a guitarist, and i walk into my cabin to find it decorated with led zeppelin, David Bowie, and pink Floyd posters. One of my councilors is singing, sitting on his bed with a guitar. His style of playing, the fact that he could play, and his disregard of his taste in music influenced me greatly in years to come.  his last summer as a councilor, bought a guitar when i got home.
          He has yet to put out an album, however he has some music n YouTube. I encourage you to watch and like his videos, because he deserves more recognition. The video to the right is his original song, "Look away, its censored." Be sure to share and watch his videos.

Anything weird or disturbing is artsy.

For Halloween, i watched Gore Verbinski's mastery of suspense, "the ring" . In the ring, none of the characters are hipster, though one presumably plays guitar due to a stratacaster in the background of the movies most famous scene. However, when i saw the haunted video in the ring, i thought, wow, that is so hipster artsy-like. The film has many disturbing images, and for some is the most unsettling moments in the movie, however, if one views it as art, it is so much cooler. Samara, if you put that video in the M.O.M.A (Museum of modern art) you would kill so many hipsters.

       However, you can find hipster art in things intended for a more mainstream audience, for instance college humor's attempt to poke fun at modern music video's. It was so disturbing and subsequently very artsy. It actually seems to make miley cyrus intelligent, which is ridiculous.
        Most things can translate as art. the only thing that stops something from being art is an unexcepting person in power. Art is in the eyes of the beholder, and if the beholder is a hipster, more controversial things are excepted.

Is Daario Naharis a hipster?

For those who were wondering who Daario Naharis is, you should not read this post. For those who watch the HBO TV show, this is about the books portrayal of the Tyroshi captain, not the televised misrepresentation.
            Accompanied with some funky hair dye, a flamboyant persona, a very interesting bear, and a golden mustache, lavish clothing and a thirst for action, this Tyroshi stone crow added color to Daenerys's khalasar and army, but is he a hipster?

         The Tyroshi people are known to be eccentric, they are a rich culture, bright colors, and elaborate helms. Though often warring with other cities, the Tyroshi's all could seem like hipsters compared to Westeros and other free cities. However, among the citizens of Tyrosh, Daario Naharis still is considered an anomaly among his city mates. He goes above and beyond the other Tyroshi in his flamboyancy. True, he is reckless, but he seems educated. We don't know what type of music he listens to, however, their were only three popular songs in Westeros, and they all are written in the same style,and music is hard to come by, as their are solely singers and bards in that time period.
       I conclude that Daario is a hipster among hipsters, and us hipsters shall pray that martin doesn't kill him, like he did everybody else.

Hipsters bands: the chemists of music.

A story of hipster scientists.

"Alright Jeff, hand me a graduated cylinder, fill it with 15ml of indie producer, remove any famous bands or music awards under his label. Alright, lets add some psychedelic art, yes, very colorful very good."

        "Oh no, Steve, the bacteria seems to be attracted to this serum, quick add some post grunge influence!" 

          "Its not working, Jeff, I'll try to add some deep depressing lyrics, you know, none of those lyrics about sex and drugs like pop music. Make the song at least three times longer than any song heard on the radio."

          "Good idea, i'll add a....ummm.....Oh, I've got it, i child dealing with depression."

          "Yes, good thinking, try adding an unrequited love, and a slow progression into insanity, yes it's working, NO! Wait, this can't be, they bacteria are simply eating it up, did you put a dramatic, overused piano chord change in?"

        "I think i did. It was an accident, Steve. Ill add some feedback from the guitar amplifier, yes, and influences from prog rock."

     "Yes, keep going."

        "I'll remove the common metre, would a 7/8 metre work?"

       "Yes! Add some loose screw on the drum set, especially focus on the snare."
        "We did it! The world won't be ours, because very few will listen to them, but we have made the perfect hipster rock band, I'll call their music, indie grunge swing revival!"   

           The end

Actual post for today.

            Greeting fellow hipsters, how many genres of music do you listen to that fit into a simple, single word category. None, just as i suspected. Today i shall explain how hipsters are the chemists of music, well more like biochemists. We hipsters combine types of music to see what will happen, similar to the man who added fish d.n.a to the red tomato to make it preserve more effectively. 

       G.E scientists work every day to create plants that will produce greater amounts of crops, so they can feed more homo-sapiens, and make their industry more lucrative. Hipsters blend all different types of music together to see what shocks an audience the most, but we don't ado it for money. If the hipster is greedy, he doesn't have the makings of a true hipster.

        Mostly, the hipster attempts to mix things never before attempted to bring out the most unnusual results, sort of like Greek mythology, where we have donkey, robot, vampire people, and no, i did not learn about empusa through Percy Jackson and the Olympians. (Hipster rule # 467, know about Greek mythology before you read Percy Jackson)               

       Just remember, if you have fish d.n.a in you, you probably should listen to a genre of music nobody has ever heard of. What's your favorite genre of music, Comment below.

Hipster rule# 466

Greeting fellow hipsters, If you have recently became informed of a musician that you enjoy, buy their earlier music. Don't just jump on a lonely bandwagon and get whats current, work your way up by examining any progress or change the artist in question has undergone. Failing to abide by this rule sets you as non hipster as Nikki  Manaj, because whats current is seldom hipster, no matter how amazing it is. Listen to earlier music so you can say, oh their new stuff is so processed, their old stuff is so much better. If you ever see him/her/them/it/smeagol/other in concert and he/she/it/dobby/other announces that their playing an oldie, from their earlier days, you and all their other hipster fans can yell, "I know that song!"
    You can also claim, "I listened to them before you knew they existed!"

Pet peeve: when people claim they love a band and can only name one of their songs

Don't you love it when you're playing Zeppelin on guitar, and your friend asks you to play stairway to heaven cause they LOOOOOVVVVE Led Zeppelin, and that's the only Zeppelin song they know.
               By "love" i mean hate.
             

    Greetings fellow followers of bands that only had one famous song that people still know today, today i shall rant about the lack refinement in our musical culture-again. It is perfectly fine to not listen to a band and not respect them. It is perfectly alright to not listen to a band and respect them, but to not listen to a band and LOOOOOOVE them, only having heard that song of theirs that was popular in the 70's. People should commit to their band, the white stripes didn't only write seven nation army, and the song seven nation army is more than "OOOOH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OOOOOOH-OOOH" its a time out at a football game song. The point is, listen to a band before you "love them."

Amazing hipster album: In the court of the crimson king

Greetings fellow hipsters, today we shall explore one of the best albums in the history of progressive rock: In the court of the crimson king. This 1969 debut album from king crimson has jazz, blues, rock and roll, and random noise influences. It is one of the more influential progressive rock albums and is on par with Moving Pictures and Dark Side of the Moon. The famous 21st century schizoid man is the most well known song off the album, so instead i decided to show you moonchild as the song that best represents the album. Moonchild is 12 minutes in length and experiments with dissonance and ambiance. Another hipster album will be coming next sunday. What's your favorite hipster album?

pet peeve: the use of texting acronyms

Omg lol, isn't it  gr8 wen peeple b talkin 2 u in reel life and say, lmao, brb, kk. NOT

          Greetings, fellow hipsters,  If you could understand what i just said above, i commend you/ how do you under stand such a primitive, minimalist style of speaking. people respond, "lol" it translates into- i have nothing better to say, this is the most boring conversation i have ever wasted breath engaging in". It doesn't make one seem more intelligent to say, 'Btw, rofl'. It just makes you sound like a lack-wit. The problem is that these annoying texting abbreviations they are more frequent than emos at a black veil bride concert because people are so lazy. It takes 72 muscles to talk, exercise them, or your face will be as weak as your mind is. Personally i think texting is to mainstream in general, but that is up to opinion. Here are some examples of alternatives to the shortened texting speach.
           Rofl:  I am simply drowning in glee, for that clever retort you just uttered was one of the more witty notions i have ever had the pleasure to bear witness to.
           Ttyl: i bid you fare well, my dearest of acquaintances, if the god in heavens is good, pray tell we shall have the honor of meeting in a future context.
          Brb: i offer you my most sincere apologies, however more pressing matters have just came to my attention, and i must ensue them or the consequences will be dire.  Most likely i shall be returning to you with a prompt and hasty attitude.
          Wth: why, what an unusual occurrence, i feel the need to announce my befuddlement through an interjection.

Hipster rule# 465

Disclaimer: i am breaking this rule to the furthest extent with this blog, but it is for educational purposes.

 

Hipsters don't believe in labels, if something has a label, it can be generalized. That is what happened to hipsters. Now the hipsters one of the more hated and emulated sub culture. Seriously, when somebody asks me what i am being for Halloween, i respond, 'i don't dress in a costume, because that would be giving something a label. If i give myself a label than i will succumb to popular culture'. But seriously, labels are not for the benefit of society. Smart people in todays society, especially in schools, are slandered as nerds, which is considered a dorrogatory term, what nerd actually means is "You're smarter than me, screw you"

true Virtuosity means versatility

      Many musicians pride themselves in their technical abilities, playing more and more complex runs, using more and more complex rhythms and scales. However, when told to play somethings with soul, less speedy and flashy, they are drawn a blank. Steve Vai is one of many guitarists that falls into this void, though he can play with emotion, he is locked into a certain sound. Listen to this example of him playing the blues.  
           A true virtuoso can play any style, some of my favourites include Jeff beck, Guthrie Govan and Ritchie Blackmore. For example, listen to deep purples lazy, and than listen to highway stars classical influenced solo sections.                          The point is, i don't care what modes you play in, i care if you have feel. Also, if you are not good at something, only try it if you really want to get good at something, because that is the only way you will. If Steve Vai wanted to play the blues, he could have, but instead he plays his shred licks, which are fine, just out of context.
      If you are truly a talented musician, you can adapt and play all genres because you respect them, unless your a classically trained musician, right out of Julliard, than you have permission to look down upon all other forms of music. Plant you're self in one genre, if you wish, but if you have enough technical skill, learn other genres, challenge yourself. Here is a funny video to compensate for the lack of humor in this post. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQDY5fH0sFc

If the music hipsters listened to went mainstream...

            Greetings fellow hipsters, today i am going to address a point that many hipsters ponder, but few would mention in conversation. what would we listen to if the music we like went mainstream? Honestly, it all depends on how hipster you are, if you are more about the actual music or being anti mainstream. I personally would listen to music if it was still of the same quality, and they weren't completely controlled by the record producers.
   But for a more orthodox hipster, the music isn't always the most important part, just how little notoriety it has. They appreciate individualism, i respect that. In a species with its population approaching ten billion, being unique is quite a virtue. Imagine you are a pinto bean in a black bean burrito, your taste may stick out when you are eaten, and it would be like a slap in the face to the eater, or asphyxiation, if the one devouring the burrito was deathly allergic to the pinto bean. The pinto bean may well have been planted by an outside source to assassinate the one eating the burrito. Actually, the man consuming the burrito was a man of high power, and controlled a technology that could change the aspect of how we lived. The government had attempt to silence him through their spies in the Mexican restaurant industry.
              What the heck am i talking about?
                Maybe that was a metaphor. If the pinto bean represents the unique hipster, than the burrito represents society, and the burrito eater represents the music, because
maybe the beans at him from the inside out. Maybe the burrito represents the everyday person, who is filled with a ton of sub personalities, but all in all, i believe that toads don't cause warts.
                      Basically, the point is, if hipster music went mainstream, hipsters would experience a schism, dividing those in it for the music and those in it for the thrill of being known as a hipster. However, many of us will be killed by poisoned burritos, ironically. Irony. Some of the individual hipsters will listen to the old hipster-now pop music to be ironic. Alright i've lost myself.

Pet peeve: people mix up hippies and hipsters.

If you can tell the difference between these two images, than you should be able to tell the difference between a hippie and a hipster. The fact that the stereotypes  between these two social groups are so different but they can be overlooked by the similarities in the routes simply has me vexed. Doesn't it make you think when, if you are a hipster (If you are, greetings fellows) that you mean so little to the world  that you could get mixed up with these rainbow colored peacocks of peaceful ambidexterity.  Well, first off lets look at what we have in common, a stereotype of drug use, obscure clothing choices a fetish for music varying from the mainstream, and for alternate political views. However, despite these similarities, we hipsters dont compete with ourselves to see how many colors we can wear at once, we don't grow mustaches that look like we have clones of frank Zappa beneath our noses. We do not do psychedelics, because that isn't good for you. It's not like we don't think peace love and happiness is far out man, but we are happy and loving, when we don't have pieces of our sideburns in our mouths. If you remember my previous post about hats , if you click hats there will be a link to the post, however, its hard to put on a hat when your 'fro weighs more than  We hipsters do enjoy the outdoors, but we (most of the time) do have houses instead of tents. The point is that hippies and hipsters are very different, hippies have a cause and they protest, we hipsters aren't as organized as a whole, so we can't rally against pop music, likewise, the Vietnam war is long over, so hippies don't exist anymore. So if you are a hipster nowadays, remember, you are a figment of your own imagination, so in your own way, you are a hipster.

Angela is a witty and somewhat eccentric character who is practiced in magic, soothsaying, fighting with mystical weapons that normally are only the arms of the dwarven  kings of old., and she has an outrageous  pet. She is by far the most funny character in the cycle, however, she lacks many of the aspects of a hipster. She does take alternative viewpoints, however, they are based upon scientific theory, not opinion. She doesn't clad herself in unusual clothing(to the time period and society in the book) or express a taste in indie music. We love Angela, however, she is not a hipster.

Hipster rule# 464

                      Greetings fellow hipsters, today we will be explaining how to piss off non hipsters. Whenever a your friend who listens to an actual band that plays pop music, tell them that they sound terrible live. The live performance is somethings that has bee dwindling due to recording technology and the internet, but in times where live music is depleting, a stellar show is novelty. That is why pop music sucks. Rap bands don't have their techno-gizmo's to make their voices on key. And due to lack of instruments, the performance normally consists of one man prancing around with a flat brim hat, two or more chains, a gaggle of revealingly clad female dancers, and fans who were there because all of the good shows weren't advertised for. The eagles came to Detroit, and i wasn't aware of it for the lack of public media on the topic. Instead of the adverts for the eagles in periodicals, we found notices for Kid Cudi.
          Also, power metal bands such as Poizon or Dragon Force record songs in an extremely flashy and technical fashion because they make very hard guitar hero songs. The reason why they can't perform is because it is all fake. So be sure to comment on all of your pop culture consuming peers music, claiming the band in question sounds awful live.
        Comment on bands that you find dreadful,
salutations,
    Pablo y Nate.

Pet peeve: Everybody hates hipsters.

When i searched why hipsters are awesome on yahoo the top ten results were "10 Reasons Why Hipsters Are Awful." . Top result was, "Hipsters are so awful || awesome cave.com"

          Greetings fellow hipsters, and today i will complain about how so many people think that we should spend our free time learning to juggle with chainsaws. True, from a distance, and from not so far away, and from really close up, a hipster can seem like an obnoxious self centered octopus who has its tentacles on lost of things others can't reach to look so much better than everybody else.  Well, we aren't octopi, and our tentacles, if we had tactlessness,  they would be on places you could reach, if you had heard of them.
              If you actually got to know a hipster, you would know their shell of pride and indifference is not very thick, and what lurks inside is actually not unpleasant to behold. We hipsters are not quite as inpersonable  as you'd imagine. We-
        alright, i can't think of a  reason why hipsters are better without making me sound self centered.

      See how courteous i am.
  Well, i have severely failed at explaining why hipsters aren't hate worthy, but we are actually not a hate worthy. Think of it this way, we don't hate non-hipsters, so don't hate us. Or octopi, because they are awesome.

NOBODY ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT A HIPSTER IS

      Hipsters have wider time frame to enjoy something than a non hipster, for example a hipster listens to a band nobodies heard of. On their next album, they have a hit, they are popular and the hipster shuns them. A few month later the band is deep underground again, and the hipster listens to them, even their hit to be ironic. But, what if the hipster listened to the band for irony while they were popular to shock his hipster friends? What if he shunned the band so much that he refused to listen to them? Do hipsters really have more time? Why do i ask myself these questions? WHAT IS A HIPSTER?
           People around the world, like me, ignorantly claim ultimate knowledge of what a hipster is, but not all of us wear scarfs, blue skinny jeans and 70s nerd glasses. I don't know how to define a hipster because hipsters are so diverse. I mean, are the people in bands that hipsters listen to hipsters? Has their minor fame gotten into there heads and do they listen to pop music or make music intended to be popular among hipsters? Does the record company enforce this?



         Now that you are all thoroughly confused, greeting fellow hipsters and today i will explain why we dont even know what a hipster is. Science has yet to find a genome and phylum for hipsters, and if hipsters were existent in ancient India, we wouldn't even have a caste because the people wouldn't know where to put us because they wouldn't actually know what a hipster is. In the cruel feudalism of the middle ages in Europe, the hipsters would just sit in the difference and talk about how there were no good leaders this day, and discuss obscure roman emperors.
      Right now, i am listening to wolf mail on groove shark. Wolf mail is an artist that i am pretty sure less than .001% of the worlds population has heard of, however the music he makes is the blues, which is not a hipster genre. Is it hipster to listen to wolf mail? I have my opinion, and im sure you do as well, however, there are so few hipster standards that are actually true we cant make any assumptions because there are so many nuances in hipster culture
           Some people believe that there are so few people that fit all of the characteristics of the stereotypical hipster that a hipster is purely a hypothetical concept, only mentioned so all of the extremes are covered. Imagine a chart of the types of economies, a true hipster would be a true capitalist society. They don't exist.
        I disagree, personally. I think that there must have been such thing as a hipster. Why else would hipster fashion be so in today, if people aren't all trying to mimic something something that was. Why would hipsters be so hated if they didn't exist, that would be like hating Hufflepuffs. If you get my reference +1 this post because Google plus is hipster.  
       Comment me your opinion of what a hipster is.

In movies that are bad, route for the bad guy.

          Greetings fellow hipsters, have you ever watched a movie where the acting was so cheesy, the characters were so dry, and it didn't follow the (if applies). Wouldn't they be better if the bad guy won. For those who cringed through the train-wreck excuse for a movie, Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull, didn't we wish that   Colonel Dr. Irina Spalko didn't wake the aliens, and ruled the world so the worst excuse of a movie conclusion hadn't occurred. UFO's, SERIOUSLY SPIELBERG?

In Indiana Jones five, the bad guy better be entertaining, because sure as heck i'm not routing for Spielberg. The hipster takes a controversy side even in good movies. personally, i liked 006 in golden-eye because 007 was too popular. Of course gold-finger was still the best bond film. But Dr evil was such a bad rip off of Dr. Blofeld that everybody liked him in gold member, GO AUSTIN POWERS! 

        In case your in a movie, don't be the good guy, or i won't like you.

Classical hipster music, Does it still exist?

    Sure, classical music has influenced everything besides rap which was influenced by a rabid raccoon in a sack getting beaten by a mace. But the question is, is there hipster classical music? What a hard question.  By hard I mean i'm going to write about a bunch of stuff, but as usual never answer the initial post objective. Conclusions are too mainstream.
       Greetings fellow citizens, and today we shall explore the genre of music most closely associated with math prodigies. Can it be hipster, or is it just high class?
    The funky thing about classical music is its older than the phonograph, so Beethoven doesn't have any solo albums, or compilations. And Bach never had any hits, or made a discography for himself. In fact, no classical music was recorded before Edison invented the technology, so we have no measure of what classical music was popular at the time. The only classical music we have is what we've found, and the only way they recorded it was on sheets of parchment. The only classical music that was underground then is underground now, and probably decomposed, literally. (get it decomposed?)
         But despite that, there are many more famous classical composers today, from back than, and likewise, less famous composers. If I played you Prelude and Fugue, you would probably recognize it. But for every classical song you have heard, there are probably 500 songs you haven't.
       But classical doesn't fit into the hipster genre, when it was created, it was excepted by everybody. Most educated people today still except it. I except it and respect it. But that's not the point of hipsters.
          But classical music is more complex and impressive than most of the music that is good today, so appreciate it, and if you write classical music, don't expect to be famous before you die, or even after that. The music is probably better off that day.

Are trendsetters hipster?

Well at first glance, the answer is a huge blaring blatant NO! However, doesn't a trend setter do something before it was popular and than by many unfortunate coincidences it catches public appeal?

          Greetings fellow hipsters, this post will be quite a morsel more substantial than my impulse post about hipster stereotype videos. Have you aver listened to a new band, worn a different type of clothing, or kept an odd animal as a pet and weeks later you find all of your peers attempting the same feat that you have? if so, i feel miserable for you and hope your depression diffuses. However reluctant you were you were and are and forever will be a one time trend setter. 

          I like to split trend setters into two basic groups, intentional trendsetters, and unintentional trendsetters. 

     An unintentional trend setter attempts to do something new and different and finds that every one is trying to mimic how different you are, making what you did the same as what others are doing and you are no longer one in a million, but one of a million. A relatively famous example of this, (not saying i encourage famous things or people) were the Russian urban climbers who climbed a radio tower and performed precarious stunts atop it, and late uploaded  video of their feat to you tube. Weeks later, another video arose of a group of teenagers on the withering heights of the same tower, and weeks later many video has arisen and many injuries and casualties had occurred.  

           Nothing good can come from trends, besides those who don't succumb to them.

      Those unintentional trend setters could be hipster, but the variables are to great, the trend could have been an accident and also the causing on the trending item could as well been inadvertent. The first potato chip was an accident, now lets see how much potato chip have influenced society, and obesity. If you are under twelve and have a sense of humor that is easy to please and you are interested in voodoo and potato chips, i suggest you read leon and the champion chip as it appeals to those who fit in those categories.

     Intentional trend setters are too starved for attention for me to talk about.
