Forward To Death

Hipsters are the epitome of contradictory. The ideology of the subculture collapses on itself.

"I listened to dubstep before it was cool".

Nothing contradictory in that quote.

Not really. Though, more recently the term "Hipster" has been thrown around so much that it really doesn't have a meaning anymore. People just use it because they think something they've never heard before fits the stereotype.

And I haven't really seen a lot of instances where people have said "I listened to dubstep before it was cool". Dubstep has sort of just...blown up on his own from state to state, more specifically the West Coast, and even more specifically Seattle (where i'm from).

I just find it funny that not too many people were throwing the word 'hipster' around a few years ago and now it seems to be the word on everyone's lips, ready to spit at people who listen to music different from theirs. I think that says a lot about some people, people get so worked up about things that basically amount to nothing in the end.

I listen to indie music too, I've been called hipster as much as anyone, but it goes beyond music taste.

That's what I was sort of getting at. It suddenly became "the word" to use for anything that seems to be new.

Indie rock is as popular as it's ever been. Hipster as a term isn't thrown around, it's just that they're easy targets because the whole idea is to be independent, yet effectively becoming mainstream. Being a hipster is popular now. It's just like mallcore, really. There's nothing independent about any of it.

I think hes got real good energy.... he has gone more commercial which is why i think people are hating on him because people that dont like him are hearin him mainstream far too much... yay for me tho

I love that it seems like Sonny Moore hasn't really changed personality-wise, and he's doing what he has wanted to do. I remember when he quit From First to Last, I was heartbroken, but now I can still enjoy his music, it's just a different genre. I haven't listened to him toooooo too much, but I like what I've heard. And I'm glad he's popular and that won't keep me from liking him.
