i don't really like to hate on bands, but 311's version of "Lovesong" killed a little part of me.

don't know if this has been noted but ;_;"Over the past 30 years, ICP has released more than 23 albums, including more than 10 RIAA certifications and the Billboard Top 200’s longest running hip-hop record."

that's kind of like saying "hipsters go to Will Ferrell movies, therefore Will Ferrell is a hipster phenomenon"

"i saw someone talking about it on ilx -- hipsters must be all over it"
In the last month I ran into someone from the band B00gie Boarder rocking a FREE GUCCI shirt, and saw a house party in Austin where BL1SSED 0UT ran a gucci song through a distortion pedal as partnof his set, so continue to STFU deej

ayo whiney do you really consider all the lols "bashing"? ICP 1) know they're funny 2) are being funny on purpose - it's possible to say "this shit is hilarious" and still not be laughing meanspiritedly imo
like that bashir interview afaic dudes come off like enviably together ppl w/their priorities straight, and that's been the word on them for years - at instore signings, they hang around until the last fan's gotten his hand shaken even if it takes 8 hours etc - 100% sincerely think these guys are awesome, also think it's fair to laugh at guys IN CLOWN MAKEUP.

I could kind of understand Whiney getting his panties in a bunch about some of the other ICP threads that turned into LOLz @ fatjuggalo.jpg for large stretches, but this one is straight up homage.
― Fetchboy, Monday, 12 April 2010 06:36 (fourteen years ago) link
i guess its not the bashing its just the overarching vibe that we're definitely "looking down" on a subculture vastly inferior to ours.
I mean can i just
"I spun her around and licked her face/She screamed, hit me with a can of mace"
vs.
"I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met who could appreciate Georges Bataille/Standing at Swedish festival discussing "Story of the Eye"

violent j said something on stern like 10 years ago about why they couldn't understand why everyone hates them. they're not on the radio, they're not on MTV, they're not in your face like a backstreet boys or a britney or a beiber. they're a total underground thing that you can ignore like you would ignore a bright eyes album, and yet the internet is picking apart their every move like they're pearl jam.
i'm just pointing it out, i'm not gonna get all super-aggy about it

anyway, what you say could apply to phish, and i think it's pretty reasonable to hate phish & it has nothing to do with classicism
― deejus, get off the whiney weingarten penis, before i sb and bust (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 April 2010 06:48 (fourteen years ago) link
or i guess, what violent j said
& people pick apart everything they do because they are transparently & inherently ridiculous
seriously ppl that whole bashir interview is genuinely inspiring to me. because it's the same situation as in dream deceivers, guys who make music for a niche audience and have a special bond w/that audience, being accused of wanting the hurt the people to whom they owe their careers, and getting a chance to say to clueless dudes "what we do is about love & family & if you can't understand that, that's on you"
― Twink Will Ferrell (J0hn D.), Monday, 12 April 2010 06:49 (fourteen years ago) link
not that i don't think there's some element to truth about what you're saying re: "hipsters" or w/e, but it's not like their art isn't asking to be picked apart by internet culture -- i.e. there was no classicism i think in the "picking apart" and rofling at die antwoord -- it's just lol ridiculous rap

whiney i dont care about how connected you are to what hipsters think, you just have an unbelievably distorted view of the real world, worse than any 'hipsters' i know
my fukkin dad would make fun of these dudes if he saw them on nightline -- must be a hipster!!

ill get off whiney's dick when he stops annoying world-weary posts abt hipster anthropology -- who the fukk even seriously talks bout 'hipsters' any more like its some easily identifiable group of ppl -- all this shit is covered on npr, my mom probably heard titus androdicosdjsiojd before i did, owl city is popular with everyone, plz stop using the word 'hipsters' without some self awareness

this is pretty self-aware tbh, ffs
also in general can we cut all the side-stepping around the word "hipster" like it's some ugly "other." I'm so goddamn tired of everyone on ILX being like "I'm fat/old school/unfashionable/nerdy so I'm not a hipster." Jesus christ, we all post on a message board where people deconstruct the meaning of the word "balearic" and transcribe gucci mane lyrics and call Dirty Projectors "boring normal indie" and brag about the blues 78s they found at estate sales.

meant classism
oh no -- a silly clown group is making goofy-ass music & people think its funny!!
the constant attention you pay to ilx/williamsboard/whatever those other sites are that i guess represent 'hipsters' just gives those groups even more attention & a disproportionate amount of significance in your head than they have in the real world. its like, if u actually have some critique to make about these ideas, then call out individual writers or something but stop spending time opining abt the motives of some shadow group of cultural antiheroes youve decided need so much damn attention. its just as bad as uncritically propping up every 'hipster' band that gets some buzz ... u can step back & remove yourself from that game entirely
― The BoyBoy Big HOO$ (deej), Monday, 12 April 2010 07:03 (fourteen years ago) link
deej, i agree "hipster" is a problematic word and doesn;t exactly accurately describe the diverse world of alt-leaning message board communities who get caught up in leaked mp3s and meta-commentary and sterogum and whatev; and fringey fashiony people. but, seriously "hipster" is currently the most understandable thing we have going.

i agree w/ the first part of this but the 2nd is like ... 'transcribe gucci mane lyrics' is something hipsters do? what? thats something rap fans have done since forever w/ their favorite artists. bragging about blues 78s? dont all kinds of music nerd dorks do that? when """"hipsters"""" is so broadly defined that it includes such vast spectrums where jordan sargent is in the same as steve buscemi's character in 'ghost world' then what meaning does that even have. you start being like ... "can we stop pretending like hipster means something?" (i'm on board) then "because it means us, we're hipsters, and we're not like REAL AMERICA" meanwhile REAL AMERICA has the internet. they know it exists. all it takes is the ability to communicate w/ people and you can enter a conversation w/ people on ilx. the only person who really seems to divide ppl up into condescending groups is whiney weingarten

dog i write for pitchfork. i 'get' this. the stereogum comment was a joke @ whiney's expense. im still pointing out the meaninglessness of this project he has of identifying things that are cool w/ hipsters & things that arent. as far as i can tell, as a human being w/ an interest in culture, the only thing i can do to **not** be a hipster is just not have interests, at all. as soon as i enter into discourse w/ ilx or williamsboard or whatever other sites whiney fanatically keeps up w, then i become **one of them.**
this is totally not about 'me', i voluntarily joined pfork & i dont care/havent for ages whether someone cares if i am a 'hipster' or not -- i just think its a waste of dude's life to keep worrying about this shit because its really so meaningless
