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.

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?

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.
