Hipsters Taking Over the Underground Hip-Hop Scene

yea i make potions if ya know what i mean
Basically, this has been going on for a few years now. It's not some deliberate evil ploy (hopefully), but it's still damn annoying.

Some of you may be familiar with comedy rap group Das Racist. That's right, Comedy Rap group. Recently, of the several hip-hop communities I go to, almost all of them have spent the last few months in an orgy of sucking off these guys as "the future of hip-hop". FUCK that, they're a pair of hipsters, and I'm sorry to say that anyone who likes them probably is too.

    But they're actually pretty funny, sometimes.

    I am not a hipster.

    Lolipod: Now that we've moved IJBM offsite I'm pretty sure that anything relating to a musical genre that's not Metal is going to be by me. I could be wrong, though.

    snowbull: hipsterrrrrr

    How is cheap alcohol hipster-ish?

    I don't really know. It's one of those things that they've ruined. Like bad 80's music and large glasses.

    ^^It's hipsterish because they drink it.

    Too bad, since they're funny as heck and might help you be less butthurt.

    Well with that attitude, maybe I should be happy that I failed to bring a little ray of sunshine into your day.

    Besides, I had a fine day.

    Because you never know what you might see.
    What's wrong with Hark A Vagrant?

    I get confused as to what's hipster and what isn't, and I'm not really sure what's supposed to be so bad about most so-called hipster things.  Hipster just seems to mean «young, white, liberal, college-educated and middle class» by this point.

    My main issue with hipsters is the general hate of commercialism and conformism and yet they all shop at the same thrift store and wear the exact same pair of giant stupid glasses.

    Average Person does things because they like to. Hipster does things because "they're cool". I don't have a problem with anyone genuinely liking Das Racist, but given what I've seen, there's a lot more "they're cool, and new, I MUST LIKE THEM BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DOES!" going on, and that's saddening. Bit like what happened with Esoteric a few years back, not that anyone knows or cares about that.

    I also admit that my own hatred for the group is deliberately exaggerated. Don't get me wrong, I really don't like them, but I don't conspire how to kill them every waking hour, either.

    To be honest, I started enjoying a lot more things once I realized they could be enjoyed ironically. Of course, I sometimes did that before hipster meant what it seems to now. (That makes me extra legit. :P)

    A good example would be that talking Napoleon Dynamite toy my little brother got for me this Christmas. My first thought was Oh man, I am so going to love this thing ironically.
  • Super LazuliSuper Lazuli

    That's another thing. How can you like something ironically? I don't understand the term.
  • KhwarizmiKhwarizmi

    I think it originally meant So Bad Its Good, but now it mostly means «I like this mainstream or kitsch thing, but I'm too cool to admit it so I'll pretend it's for the So Bad Its Good value».
  • Super LazuliSuper Lazuli
    yea i make potions if ya know what i mean
    That's kind of what I've gotten out of that.
  • GelzoGelzo

    I think of it as like So Bad It's Good, except it includes Bile Fascination.

    I find Sonichu hilarious, for example.
  • Super LazuliSuper Lazuli
    yea i make potions if ya know what i mean
    Hm. That makes a bit more sense.
  • thatguythere47thatguythere47
    Then why not say so bad its good? why must you rape the concept of irony? WHY?! 
  • Super LazuliSuper Lazuli
    yea i make potions if ya know what i mean
    Irony in its original sense has been dead for a looooong time. Nowadays "ironic" means "an amusing coincidence".
  • GelzoGelzo

    So bad it's good is ironic, jackhole.

    ^^ In colloquial discourse, maybe.  The older sense of the word is still in widespread use, especially in a literary context.

    Well we're not really in a literary context right now, so....

    and whenever I hear about the literary kind of irony, it's always referred to as Dramatic Irony
  • KhwarizmiKhwarizmi
    Because you never know what you might see.
    No, that's something else.  Dramatic irony is when the reader or viewer knows something, but the characters don't.  Like the ending of Romeo and Juliet, which is given away to the audience at the start, but the characters are blissfully unaware that they're going to die.

    Whereas irony in a general literary context means something that's the complete opposite of what you would expect.
