I don't think you do. Devendra is literally another version of father shit misty, which is normie top 40 Indie core.

You mean the"
“Hipster” is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else’s authenticity into question and, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself.
It serves no conversational function and imparts no information, save for indicating the opinions and preferences of the speaker.
Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural bogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you’ve probably sensed the pattern on your own).
You can’t define what “that kind of behavior or fashion or lifestyle” actually is, nor will you ever be able to. That’s because you don’t use “hipster” to describe an actual group of people, but to describe a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you.
The twist, of course, is that if it weren’t for your own insecurities, nothing that a “hipster” could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally. But you are insecure about your own authenticity - “Do I wear what I wear because I want to? Do I listen to my music because I truly like it? I’m certainly not like those filthy hipsters!” - so you project those feelings.
Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as a hipster; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the authentic Us from the inauthentic, “ironic” Them.
tl;dr: if you believe hipsters exist, you are a plebeian." pasta?
>>64397645
i found out about devendra in 2008 when some guy i went to college with told me about him. good try though... whats /r/indieheads? is that a board where people talk about music without endlessly talking shit to one another?
hipster = conformists who became fake-nonconformists because of the internet. you can spot them because they would look totally wholesome and boring except they have a ton of random tattoos. They probably still listen to indie folk or something twee.

You guys really give hipsters too much credit, they listen to just about indie bands that they believe are classed as "real music" just because it isnt on the radio. Shit like Catfish & The Bottlemen, Bastille, and Alt-J.

How many of these have you listened to.
>>64398065
Its way fucking worse to try to differentiate insincerely. I cannot resprct anyone that manufactures a fake personality and taste just to look interesting
>>64398137
Hipsterdom hasn't really got anything to do with listening to obscure music, drinking obscure beer, watching obscure films, styling oneself on obscure fashion etc. It's about adhering to a subculture, one obsessed with convincing oneself that one is a pioneer of underground art and culture, but which actually only consists of art that is only slightly more obscure than the most mainstream things. It's why magazines like Pitchfork, Vice and The Skinny exist, it's about removing individuality and molding oneself to what's cool and trendy, which is exactly why you can instantly recognize a hipster.
Understand this, if something is obscure then a hipster will not like it because they will not receive approval from their peer group for doing so.
>>64398098
You might want to remove Bastille from that. Pompeii and Bad Blood were played on the radio a lot, and sometimes still are.
>>64398256
>he's a hipster follower instead of a cutting edge hipster
even for hipsters there must be some folk at the forefront seting trends and styles
The pasta is right though. Hipsters are a boogeyman to associate things you don't like with. Pretty stupid stuff really.
Trying to be different, even if you don't like what you cling onto, is fucking gay. Even worse than just being a trendy alt j hipster
>>64398259
Shit yeah, what would you replace it with?
>>64398228
But it's not fake you doofus. Some people like things that are not mainstream for their personal enjoyment. Not everyone is forced to enjoy the same things, and everyone who doesn't isn't just pretending to for more than you'd like to believe it.
>>64397457
I'm upset
>>64398479
That's not what I'm implying. I'm saying when you listen to something only for the image it gives of you, even if you don't otherwise like it, you're beyond pathetic. Half of people that listen to poseur core likely do not actually enjoy it based off how aggressively they try to let everyone know that they listen to it.

I wish I would have looked at his profile before reading because he has some of the worst taste I've ever seen
>>64398314
Yes, those folk work for magazines, record labels, clothing stores, you get the picture.
Hipsters are a demographic of moneyed, predominantly middle class men and women in their mid to late 20s and early thirties who are entirely beholden to the latest trends who will buy whatever their masters tell them to in order to keep up with their peers. They're the wet dream of marketing executives at every trendy company who have something to sell to them, but are entirely vacuous as human beings - they have no interests other than trend following. Most of them don't even like a lot of the music they listen to, but they'll listen to it anyway because they don't want to appear to be behind the times.
>>64398497
The nu-hipster has been around since about 2010 if not earlier. You could argue that all subcultures, or cultures, have an 'authentic' root, but the bastardised version that lives on is never genuine. And I can guarantee you that when most people think 'hipster', they think of bearded males in check shirts listening to NMH or drinking PBR, and not people who are actually into obscure media and hobbies.
>>64398497
Shit man, you're right, hipsters are young whipper snappers who listen to the bebop and smoke the reefer.

>Wu-Tang Clan
>Yes, if you have a gram of sanity left in you, the same question may pop up in your confused head as in mine: how the hell did a rap group made up of illiterate, testosterone-charged, alpha-male wannabe rhyme-makers obsessed with silly chop-sokey flicks become hipster darlings? Keep in mind: most hipsters consider metal beneath them. What the hell should they think about SHMIP-SHMOP then?! If they see metal as a dumb mammal, then rap must seem as an amoeba by these status-obsessed hipsterians.
>For some reason their debut album - which consists of a bunch of bird-brained monotonous rap songs about kung-fu, drugs, hos, respec, and whatever other "street-wise" nonsense - has a stellar average of 4.19 on this site. Clearly, it couldn't have been catapulted into the top 50 on RYM's all-time album chart merely by honest rap fans, considering that they must like the "band's" other equally rubbish albums. There's gotta be more to it than that, especially considering that rap doesn't exactly dominate this site.
>If anyone has an explanation, feel free to post it. Perhaps because one of their members wrote the soundtrack for a Jim Jarmusch movie? Did that catapult the Wu-Thong Clan to hipster heaven? Perhaps because hipsters realized that the indie and punk scenes aren't the only ones proudly waving the flag of dilettantism? And yet don't hipsters prefer it when nerds do their music? There are no nerds in this group. Macho bullshit in metal is peanuts next to the excessive alpha-male posturing that dominates the shmip-shmop scene.
>Why Bobby Dylan fans would have Wu-Tang Juice Clan albums side-by-side with their The Smiths collection makes no sense at all. Then again, how silly of me to expect hipsteric decision-making to have a logical basis. Then again yet again, diversity and eclecticism are the magic words in the hipster manual.

I guess they were the early adopters of some of these ideas. There was a time where listening to AnCo wasn't cool, it always seemed cutting edge to me when I was a teen and I'd see posters for indie rock bands outside record stores (late 00s). These people probably were original but it became memetic and, as we all know, when that happens, it loses authenticity.
These original guys only get the title of 'hipster' because that's what we started calling them when the idea was beginning to gain traction in 2010 or so.
>>64397335
/mu/core, to be honest.
A hipster is someone that only likes stuff that panders to a certain trendy niche. Its marketing disguised as individuality.
So someone that says, oh those are "fake" hipsters, "fake" hipsters like alt j, I like swans and others like them they are still brain-dead trendy hipsters, as swans very much panders to hipster image.
Neo-mu should realize this ASAP and maybe then chart threads wouldn't be the most pointless predictable wastes of sharehtreads on all of 4chan.
>>64398510
I doubt it. People like to show off and be arrogant, but about the things they already like.
>>64398866
Going further, anyone who likes dadrock or top40 rock is a poseur lewronggeneration hipster who want to be trendy by not listening to "hipster music". So really, not listening to music at all is the only way out.

I can't get into Swans at all, what do you find appealing about their music?
I played that record the other day and sure the first song was ok with all the NO PAIN, NO GAIN shit but after that comes a 12 minute song with nothing interesting happening and then some guy yelling "noooooooow u mad" and after that I check the runtime and there's a fucking 30 minute track? Did I listen to the wrong album for a beginner? How can I enjoy their music??

go through their discography chronologically. don't fucking start with the seer you double nigger. listen to their early stuff if you're in a self-hating mood. trust me everything from Filth to Public Castration is great for that kind of stuff. My favorites from this era are greed and of course PCIAGA.
Then they had a phase where they were more of a conventional post-punk band starting from Children of God. Burning World is a bit of a sellout but I like it. White Light, Love of Life, and Great Annhilator are pretty similar, reminds me a lot of Joy Division
Soundtracks for the Blind is incredible and stands alone out of their whole discography IMHO. after that they broke up
they reformed in like 2010 as a post-rock band. Also a bit of a return to their no wave roots with how hard these albums get... if you've gone through Swans' discography up to that point you'll enjoy The Seer and To Be Kind a lot more.

"Pasta" in its original form meant a heavily copy and pasted (reply effective) block of text which was ended up being primarily for trolling. It stems from the japanese "kopipe" from 2chan
The modern definition of a pasta would add the clause "a copy pasted post which, despite contents, is shrugged off and not taken seriously due to its status as a "copypasta".
The hipster copypasta may be heavily reposted, but note that it doesn't devalue any of its contents. Nobody can disprove what the hipster pasta is communicating

>Kanye West
>To the uninitiated in all things hipster-related, at first glance this may seem to be the most absurd entry on this list, right? Sort of like the black sheep of the list, the odd one out. Certainly I was amazed when several people told me that his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album is a hipster's wet dream. (A claim which RYM's charts, various hipster collections, and hipster articles on the net confirmed.)
>In fact, for a while I refused to include him because I simply could not believe that this TALENT-FREE MEDIA CLOWN with the intellect of an amoeba and the artistic integrity of Britney Spears was admitted by hipsters into the Hipster Hall Of Fame. I mean, Kanye! It doesn't get any more commercial or garbagy than this, right? It'd be like Taylor Swift or Rihanna being held in high esteem for their powerful lyrics and ground-breaking music.
>However, when you analyze it better, this is in a weird sense the most logical entry on the entire list - because it unifies ALL hipsterisms in one fell swoop: minimalism, total lack of originality, hipster confusion, garbage-quality music, moronic lyrics, lack of talent, excessive posing, style over substance (or in this case neither), abject stupidity assuming the role of intellectualism, and whatever else I may have forgotten to include.
>>64400586
>I guess hipsters must be easily swayed by confidence, which Kanye has in spades. He never misses an opportunity to imply or outright say that considers himself a genius, and perhaps hipsters are like easily hypnotized amoeba that after a while just started believing his dark twisted fantasy that he is an actual genius. When in fact he is the opposite. Shit, I don't even consider him a musician, much less a musical genius.
>I cannot tell you how glad I am that Kanye, or at least this one crappy album, is a big part of the hipster collection. It makes my mission of explaining and downgrading hipsterism that much easier. It's like trying to find dirt on a politician that you know is corrupt, and you discover that he is a member of the Nazi Party or something. I don't think hipsters even begin to realize how much they shot themselves in the foot with this one. If they continue like this, hipsters themselves will replace Kanye as the laughing stock of modern pop culture. By taking Kanye seriously, hipsters have essentially revealed everything there is to know about them, and all of it is fairly embarrassing.
>Kanye opens the flood-gates for ALL commercial MTV acts to become hipster darlings. Who's next? Justine Timberlake? Vanilla Ice? The Jonas Brothers? I submit to you that hipsterism is a bottomless pit of confusion and anti-intellectuality, and that there is literally no "artiste" bad enough to gain their respect and recognition. Before starting to explore hipsterism, I thought there was a limit to their confusion, a limit to their tastelessness, that they had at least a semblance of self-respect and a sense for not going too far, but clearly this is not the case.

Where is the matrix used to manufacture all these gazillions of cloned indie/alternative bands? Let's crush it into smithereens. There needs to be an anti-hype and anti-hipster campaign going around schools and universities, teaching all these gullible kids about the trappings of combining mushrooms with generic poseur music. They also need to understand that pretending to like crap doesn't and cannot elevate their status in society, except among their fellow hipster armies.
