Kendrick and Cole are not gamer music

Na I'm talking about the fact that alot of those "power gaming" playlists have alot of rappers that yall like on this site.

lol being a hipster has always meant being removed from mainstream culture in that you think you precede it but you do not reject it outright. You view everything that is “in” in regards to mainstream culture as already passe. It became about whats “next” (hip in hipster) and not “what’s big”

this concept has become so ingrained culture that it is basically a normal thing now so being a hipster is just a normal position to hold for anyone with an interest in culture

also trends come and go so quickly and unpredictably now that you can’t really invest in being a hipster without forgoing any individuality to trend hop

I think you're elaborating too deeply about this.

For an average person in 2021 they are not looking for what's "next", they are still on what's "hot" at the moment and I don't think it'll ever change that way.

From what I'm talking about in this thread I used the term "hipster" obviously to describe the smug 20-30 something pricks who dress straight outta something like a Stranger Things episodes. Indulge in "indie" music, and alot of the artists we named ITT (before the obvious trolling), obsessed with craft brews and starbucks drinks, usually driving some obscure and weird car or some beaten down car, attending an urban university most likely, chasing the newest "trend" on whatever social media they use.

Hipsters definitely still do exist. Especially where I live. Their god damn everywhere right now lol

whatever was happening in folk and r/indie heads in 2013-15 is all they’ll listen to idk how frank ocean and yves tumor will factor into this

Hipster era music is irrelevant af rn tbh this is not even worth discussing like that

Who tf takes seriously people who listen to artists in op post lol

It’s all about post-hipster bait at this point. Hipster era was about “mainstream type music sucks” but then it became mainstream to hate on mainstream so post-hipsters embraced this “i actually fw pop music a lot, it’s not cool to hate on pop music” s*** but with a quirky twist to it

Post hipster bait s*** ranges from like unironically enjoying Taylor Swift to borderline internet core like Charli xcx rina sawayama Kero kero bonito so basically baella core music
