Hippies aren't the same as hipsters

[Genteel Death]

You probably get some hipsters who attend their gigs so they can write about how loud they were the next day on their Facebook status and post instagramed pictures of Michael Gira sweating, but Swans are definitely not a hipster band. Beach House, Zola Jesus and that sort of crap are what I'd immediately think hipsters like, even though I can't say I am 100% sure.

This is what hipsters like

some friends and they are in their early 30s.
the guy who said that -he is not so close to me, his friend is- well i was in his car one night and the stuff he played..well they sounded like hipster stuff to me.

i mean just like what deathie says here.

Since I've never seen anyone give a decent definition, I've always chalked "hipster" up as: something someone is trying to be, but always falling short of achieving it.


'My Father & The Seer' garnered new attention / fans for the band after a 14 + years absence, and 'The Seer' ended up on many list as the "Best Album of 2012," but there is nothing about pre 1996 Swans that is remotely, "hipster."

In all honesty, I believe this thread might best describe: Chelsea Light Moving

I liked them better when Jarboe was with them.

True, my girlfriend is a hippy and she only washes twice/week

You know that linguists and the like cannot figure out the origin to the word Hip/Hep? No one really knows where it all began. hep cats, hip cats, according to Malcolm X's autobiography, were dudes who you knew smoked reefer, or could get a reefer from... but the word was in use for decades before.

as i firgure, there was actually a time when 'Hipster' wasnt a derogatory term. i clearly remember hearing that word being thrown around in the late 90's, but it was very rare. then Pitchfork comes along...........and at it's peak(2004,2005),.... hipster becomes a dirty word to describe rich well-off kids who are "in the know" with underground music culture and arts. not to mention their overblown exaggerated thrift store attire fashion sense.

don't most hispters listen to hip hop and dance music these days anyway? i don't have a clue.

[Rob Instigator]

I had an aging hipster (one of the rich boy types you mention) tell me that it is "SWANS", not "THE SWANS" when I posted on the book o' face that I was deeply immersed in Soundtracks For The Blind

nitpicky hipsters.
