Back in my day they called it "kvlt" "real" "underground"
The kids call it "Hipster-ish?"
Fucking A.
Right... no one has ever done that before "hipsters" came about... surly.
Wait, whats that? A band that released 1-2 albums and most haven't heard of them? Oh wow, surly a hipster concept, no doubt!
;-)
I'm pretty sure they don't really exist in the capacity everyone thinks they do
maybe not in pittsburg, but places like nyc, san francisco, portland(ia) etc there are plenty.
People say "they're snobs who hate the mainstream, and dress and act like idiots on purpose, and think they're better than everyone else, and only listen to obscure music and like pop music ironically..." but have you ever actually met anyone like that?
to listen to bands for more than a decade that only released 1-2 records no one heard of?
Is it some uber kvlt, basement-dwelling black metal band from the 90's who played only one show which was composed of just guitar feedback and the only copies of anything they ever put out were ten bootlegs from said show? Yeah, it's hipster.
Yep, I have. They were called metalheads around the early 2000's. We were all hipster-ish in some way or another due to having our scene forced underground. It was more of a badge of pride rather than anything really condescending.
Unless you were listening to nu metal.
Heh, seriously I have met people like that...not so much with music but with culture and every kind of art in general. It's just elitism that's so elitist it has nowhere else to go but down. It's such a paradox that it's actually mind-boggling. It's all done for attention and an innate desire to be noticed.
hey, just stay in your uncool city and you wont have to deal with them
