>implying classic rock is any better than indie
almost all people want to feel like they belong to some group and everything you mentioned in the OP is actually pretty popular
>>61612500
Because all counter culture is secretly conformist
>>61612616
why do you hate everything? Are you unloved?
>>61612500
Let me guess? Someone said the music you like was gay?

Can you name a few examples? Im curious.
>>61612883
oh 4chan
when you cant tell if theyre being ironic or are legitimately drones that think theyre unique
>>61612701
not for meta hipsters
>>61612927
It's called Poe's Law i think
>>61612914
go to spotify and look up playlists called 'hipster indie' or 'hipster indie pop' and you'll get my drift
basically this shitty song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrlfFTS9kGU remade 100 times but muh obscurity attached
>>61612883
>Why is being a hipster a bad thing?
it's not, never has
you just fell for the facebook meme
>>61612596
this is great bait
All the hipsters I know listen to memetronica and hip hop. Never met one that likes blues.
The indie folk fans I know tend to be soft introvert types.
What music do you like, OP?
>>61613034
hipsterism is so cancerous
at least with previous gimmicks like goths and emos you could point them out without running into oxymorons
make no mistake, thats what it is. the next mainstream gimmick, like emos and goths, but with an even higher level of pretention.
>>61613043
Deep Purple
Queen
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dave Matthews Band (fuck you i like them)
The Fallout New Vegas soundtrack
Draft Punk
AC/DC
>>61612958
Being a hipster is a bad thing. I really don't like them and I don't need memes to know that.
>>61612883
Lol I hope this is a joke
>>61613077
edgy response pretending to be OP
if you identify as a hipster youre a gimmicky cancer
it wouldnt be as bad if you didnt legitimately believe you were in any way unique
you listen to fleet foxes, have an iphone, left wing views, and like wes anderson? guess what? so does everybody else
>>61613077
God this meme, I have not seen it in a long time.
>>61612883
because they only PRETEND to like music so that people will think they're COOL, which is fucking unheard of and unacceptable especially on /mu/
>>61613124
>you listen to fleet foxes, have an iphone, left wing views, and like wes anderson? guess what? so does everybody else
I've been called a hipster before and I don't do any of these besides be somewhat left wing. I don't even know who Wes Anderson is.
>>61613158
>because they only PRETEND to like music so that people will think they're COOL
That sounds exactly like /mu/
>>61612500

>Why do hipsters like all the popular music
Nigger what are you fucking saying? You do realize being hipster literally means you go out of your way to find obscure and unnoticed shite and then shove it in other peoples faces right? In essence /mu/ is collectively one giant hipster forum. You're deluding yourself. You probably dont wear flannel because you "dont associate with any trend"
hipsters do not exist anymore you retard
the difference between counter-culture and mainstream is so small now and days it's pointless.
everybody is pretty much the same now. thx to the internet and social media
OP stop being mad because u met somebody acting like they're "unique" thats just plain narcissism.
the people you are talking about are the rich kids who live in ny who have plenty of money from their parents and are bored. they wouldn't consider anybody on 4chan one of them
>>61613065
you are conflating visual cues with derived self worth
the important thing is that "hipsters" find more meaning in the trappings of culture than the culture itself. the specific persona they are trying to embody does not actually matter.
>>61613124
It's a real shame that Wes Anderson gets shit on for being campy hipster indie schlock. I think he makes generally nice heartwarming films.
>>61613209
Hipsters have not gone away. You faggots live in a fantasy land.
>>61613195
he makes some pretty good movies which have an overly stylised aesthetic
if you like pastel colours, 60s music, and dark comedy he's pretty much your man
>>61613224
Moonrise kingdom, budapest hotel and rushmore are literally the only worth while things he has ever done. Everythin else is rubbish
>>61613158

Yes they have. 4chan is contrarian not hipster

This.
Hipsters are a scapegoat nowadays.
>>61613249
moonrise kingdom is by far his worst movie. budapest hotel wasn't much better. he is pulling a tim burton and slipping from 'stylized-versions-of-reality' straight into whimsical nonsense. his movies are losing their teeth.

This thread reeks of pic-related
If you seriously identify as a "hipster" just kill yourself
I guarantee you someone that doesn't identify as one is more unique than you are.
> but denying hipster means hipster
fuck off. this oxymoron is so godamn tedious. maybe they are legitimatey not stuck up trendy assholes claiming to be anti-trend.

Which board is the most hipster?
Is /fa/ more or less hipster than /mu/?

>>61613332
At least slightly feminine, internet culture loving, leftist, scrawny men who reject the idea of masculinity and patriotism in favor of a fem-cosmopolitan philosophy and love to search the internet for obscure forms of art, wear flannel and have thick rimmed glasses are still a common type of person. They may be missing one or two of those traits, but they fit most of that description.
>>61613372
/fa/ and /mu/ don't have many "hipsters" at all actually, that would probably make for far more varied and interesting reading materials. for the most part it's actually depressed disaffected losers doing their best hipster impersonation
>>61613208
>you go out of your way to find obscure and unnoticed shite and then shove it in other peoples faces right
I wish /mu/ was more like this. They can shove it in my face in a kind way of course but the share threads are kinda like this tho.
>>61613382
What kind of proof am I supposed to have for that? Go out in public with 20 somethings, there's plenty of hipsters.
>>61613364
>>61613344
>>61613293
>>61613209
Kind of the point
Hipsters do exist, under the image of what once was "hip" 10 years ago, but they are fully mainstream. That is the point. Why do they still act like pretentious fucks for listening to bon iver? 130 million plays on a single fucking song? you reaaaally think that's unique and worth being pretentious over?
>>61613426
>let me just list all of the things my dad would beat me for being
>>61612875
Wtf is a proto-hipster?
>>61613473
Probably a beatnik
>>61613465
Lol you pretentious fuck, my dad is a very nice and open minded man who has only yelled at me maybe twice in my life for being a little shit.
There are a lot of people who see someone like I just described to you and they can identify them as distinct, as well as dislike them.
>>61613463
>130 million plays on a single fucking song? you reaaaally think that's unique and worth being pretentious over?
i bet you only listen to music with under 1k plays
>>61613249
literally the plebbiest picks possible, lol
Life Aquatic and Bottle Rocket are is his best
wow this thread is pretty much garbage huh folks
>>61613506
>disliking some for how they dress
Your dad should have kicked your ass more than twice desu
>>61613463
they are narcissistic assholes. it has nothing to do with the umbrella term they label themselves. or in this case what you wanna call them.
people with money are sometimes mean and pretentious. ignore them
also nerds/geeks do the same shit over comic books cmon man

okay so you have none :)

No he would've been supportive, but If you're a male yeah being feminine is worth being mocked.

There will always be feminine men in this world.
The ancient Greeks were right by slamming that boipussy
Literally everyone is a hipster nowadays
>Listens to Arcade fire
Gets called a hipster

I remember when /mu/ used to like Arcade Fire.
I've been here too long.

The Greeks fucked little boys mostly. It wasn't about fucking feminine grown men. I'm actually pretty sure getting fucked as a grown man was looked down upon.

Ain't nothing wrong with that if the Greeks did it.

as if hipsters don't jerk off over kendrick, Kanye, etc. what do you think pitchfork represents?
>>61613572
I just think they look funny but I don't dislike any of them just by looking at this picture
all I see is a lot of meme potential
where is the poker faced sincerity? Do you have to be a contrarian nowadays to pull that off?
why do normies and plebs handle everything in absolutes? Why doesn't anyone ever try to push the limit and see how far we can go, splitting hairs?
as far as I'm concerned there are several tiers of people
the pleb (reddit)
the poseur (reddit)
the contrarian (reddit)
and the meta-contrarian (aka patrician)
you don't be a patrician by being a contrarian, it's just a natural side effect. It's also more or less a fact that you're either born a patrician or you aren't. Some people will never be patrician, and for others it's a matter of time before they get there (depending on the type of lifestyle they lead)
anyway hipsters are basically a subset of normies so if you get intimidated by them you should just order a helium tank immediately
I know right? They all listen to this Vinyl shit. Get with the times! It's all about FLAC.

Hipsters are basically contrarians who are proud of it and being proud of being a contrarian is fucking stupid. You just come across as a smug asshole who everyone hates because he always brags about how awesome he is for his taste in music.
>>61614487
this is what the untrained actually believe
learn to remove the word 'contrarian' from your vocabulary and be constantly on the move, open your eyes and never fully assume anything
unrefined redditors who call other people contrarians are not only incapable of keeping a leash on their weak meme-ego, but also barely have one worth defending. They're so used to their echo chambers and video games that they can't let go of their memetic brain patterns. Having a contrarian stance is merely if ever a side effect from actual devotion. There's nothing to brag about, as the only thing to it is nontransferable personal gain. Why don't you shed some blood and stop letting hugboxes and other shitters limit your understanding

if you proclaim yourself a hipster, then you're not a hipster. I hate how "hipster" has turned into this man-bun shit that's so common, it's the exact opposite of what hipster meant. Hipsters are supposed to deny being hipster, because then it's automatically un-cool if you say you're hipster.
jeez I sound old.
Anyway OP, I think hipster refers more to style rather than music, but maybe the hipsters and proto hipsters think that extends to music as well.
>>61618463
I don't know what a hipster is anymore, I just get called one like a lot of you and I fit the bill in OP. If I am that archetypal then I was pointing that hipsters like "pure" Rock, Jazz, and Disco based dance a lot too.
