Hipster rule # 462

          Rule# 462, when your friend tells you to listen to music, and offers you one ear bud, respond, "You probably have stereo headphones and I won't listen to your so-called music with one ear and miss half the song." I constantly do such whenever told to listen to music. The song is incomplete without both ears, which is why i insist you follow 456 and just listen to their music on your headphones, sure this will piss a bunch of people off, but we must fight for what we believe, if your ear buds only work in one ear, i encourage you to complain about them in the comments and buy a new pair.

Pet peeve: the asscociation with hipsters and skinny jeans.

    In tonight's episode of modern family, phil is sporting a remarkably tight fitted suit which strongly restricts his movement which he claimed to purchase at that "hipster store". Why is it a stereotype laced into pop-media that hipsters like to wearskin tight clothing? I have no freaking clue.      
         Greetings fellow circulation cutters, today I shall discuss skinny jeans, and by discuss I mean rant about skinny jeans, Particularly skinny jeans in abnormal colors. Why do people consider them hipster, so many people wear them, right? well I wouldn't know, ive never had the most authoritative grasp on what is popular with the children my age these days.
           Be that as it may, skinny jeans became popular under the prose that they were hipster, which makes very little sense, as if people wanted to look like a hipster they wouldn't wear the skinny jeans, as everybody else was encladding themselves in these tight fitting garments. However if the consumers actually wanted to be hipster, nobody would buy the pants in question, making them hipster to wear. But if they were in and they were hipster, would he hipsters no longer be abiding by rule 458 and getting fancy name brand denim, or would the non hipsters all be thrift shopping.
        The best thing to do when faced with a dilemma such as this is to get off my blog because you can't handle the hipster confusion. Its the opposite of wrinkly really: irony-ironic.  I think that the clothing you wear doesn't make you a hipster, it only makes you look like one. A hipster is not solely about physical appearance, its about what you are naturally. When you are going out of your way to be hipster, and/or not enjoying it, you know that you are doing something wrong. It is perfectly fine to not be a hipster, in fact the non hipsters and the hipsters have a symbiotic relationship, the non hipsters are the reason the hipsters exist, and hipsters provide the non hipsters with something to want to be.

My jazz band from new york trying not to be a jazz band.

This song was performed by my jazz band.


                Here we perform a rock song featuring me, however it is not jazz, its more like a rock band with a large horn section and a conductor.
              salutations,

Hipster rule #461


This weeks hipster rule: a bands earlier music is better.
         The red hot chili peppers, maroon 5, John Mayer, Green day, and many others were actually enjoyable to listen to before people enjoyed listening to them.
       Greetings, not hipsters. Today we shall take a journey into the past, to see if your favorite bands were actually good at one point. Don't worry, most of the music you listen to was always bad. Actually the only four I could come up with. But older, better, bands also had better days.
     Deep purple recently released the album "all the time in the world". I wasn't disappointed because I wasn't expecting it to be as good as the deep purple from the late 60's and the early 70's with john lord and Ritchie Blackmore. Pink Floyd was equally inspiring in pre Gilmour, and post Sid Barret days, but we all can agree that peter Gabriel sings better than Phil Collins, and though Fleetwood mac's late 70's and early eighties stuff was enjoyable enough, peter green was a better front man than Stevie Nicks. Speaking of Steve, the Steve Miller band had a few hits in the eighties, but songs like abracadabra just don't groove as much as their 1968 record, sailor.
            Moral:Hipsters never listen to what is current unless nobody has heard of it.
            All I say is an opinion, don't put any negative comments or they will be removed, though If you comment on what you disagree about, I would love to read it.

Long songs, and why they are delectable

    This is a follow up from my post on sunday.


           I was just halfway through mountain jam by the Allman brothers band, the first 18 minutes were pretty good.  
         Greetings, followers. today we delve into the expansive universe of songs that are longer than most people have the patients to listen to. Yesterday, I posted the 19 minute epic, grand deign, the link is in the last post, I personally doubt all of my views paid heed to all 19 minutes of musical goodness. Patience is a virtue that many lack in this ever hastening society we found forced upon us at birth. Personally, I like to test my patience, which sometimes to be volatile, listening to songs that require strong concentration to understand.
        The longest song in human history(long player) is little over a hundredth the way through. It has currently been playing since the turn of he millennium, however, it wont repeat itself till the year three thousand, but personally it is dull to listen too. It is sort of an ambiance, lacking theme or melody. Guinness may consider it a song, but I consider it an expansive art form.
The set of long player.
    But than, what is a "song". song, sang, sing. Does a song require singing? if so, Hurst's epic 44 minute contemporary classical composition, "the planets" is not considered a song. By that matter, nor is mountain jam.
     For that reason, I have divided art in the form of sound into two huge overlapping categories, auditory art, and melodic auditory art. Pretty self explanatory. For example, the beatles's revolution #9 fits into the category of auditory art.
     Sorry, for that sort of vsauce style departure from the topic.

    It bothers me that when confronted with led zeppelins stairway to heaven, most of the students in my grade cower. Lacking both the courage and open mindedness to accept that in comparison of other songs, it is not too lengthy, they claim that they will never listen to the full song because they have no time.
     I find long songs to be better than short songs, because the limiting factors of time are all but disbanded, free bird can have a 7 minute long guitar solo, and something in the way by nirvana can have ten minutes of silence in the middle of it. There can be nine parts to shine on you crazy diamond, and Robert fripp can experiment however much he wishes in moon child.
   Normally a to fit more lyrics in a song, nowadays, they are merely rapped for effiency. however, a whole story of really depressing crap are sung in most long pieces of auditory art. Also the comment wars below are more funny, if you listen on youtube.   
    Another hipster factor of long songs, it splitting songs into different parts, I.e neutral milk hotel's king of carrot flowers. It has a ring to it, _________________ pt VII. (hipster rule # 480: use the roman numeral system.
salutations,                                               Enter song title

Pet peeve: hipsters taking it to far.

This weeks pet peeve: hipsters taking it to far.
            
Being hipster is a choice, and we don't force our opinions on others, no matter how bad their taste in music is. What truly irks me is when a hipster refuses to participate in conversation, or likewise situations because something bugs them about the premises.
      Sadly, those hipsters are the only ones that seem to get noticed and they represent us poorly. Similar to arabs, most of us aren't radicals, but those are the ones you've heard of. Don't be ignorant readers. sometimes a might jokingly say to somebody, "I cant be your friend" when they don't know who Robert Fripp is. but I don't mean it. If you are a hipster, and you are ofeten more than a little bit difficult when you here pop music, than shame on you. Do you seriously want everybody to listen to your music? That would both take away the whole point of being hipster and what we have to complain about. We re meant to be the only ones who listen to our music, if more people than that, it wouldn't be hipster music.
   An example of this which to this day both amuses me and saddens me is when there were exchange students from Modi'im, Israel in my school in New York. There was a student, clad in a dream theater t-shirt, skinny jeans, and a fedora. This teenager was pleasant for the most part, however when their was a meeting with all of the hosts and all of the students, there was a Jason Mraz song playing in the video presentation.
    With many a complaint in Hebrew, the boy stormed from the room claiming he would not reenter till the music choice was changed. DON"T BETHAT GUY.
Have you ever had an experience with a hipster extremist, if so comment below. Hey! that's a couplet, did I mention I also write poetry.

salutations

Hipster rule # 459

Interperate every thing as modern art, by claiming it represents the human condition or somethinglike that. make really simple art, example:  take a broken watering can and draw the word "hate" on it and claim the can represents society and its broken and pouring hate all over everybody. It makes you seem especially hipster if you appreciate the type of art where it is a blank canvas with a dot is the middle.


    If you like any modern art, comment below.
