some things are better inside of the store

im very much a pacifist. theres not too many things id get in a physical fight over. but if you have beef with someone and decide to get some of your friends and jump your enemy, thats wack as fuck. what does that even prove?

if you decide to be *dumb* and get into a fight, at least decide on a squaredance. mano y mano, one room, no weapons, just fists. go at it until youre done with each other and move on with your lives.

I'd Rather Dance With You Than Talk With You

Her: I'm bored.
Me: Do you want to go for a bike ride.
Her: Nah.
Me: How about we go out for a walk and grab dessert.
Her: Don't really want to go out.
Me: How about we watch a movie?
Her: Don't feel like it.
... Her: (1 week later) Why don't we ever do anything?

Because I Always Feel Like Running

I'm c0nvinced that the best way to counter the hipster way of thinking is positivity and support. We should encourage anybody and everybody to find art(lets use music as an example) that they love and enjoy, regardless of said art's popularity.

Your friend enjoys listening to Drake? They love his wordplay, flow, and beat selection? Okay, thats great, be glad that they found something they love and enjoy. Pay no mind that he "sold out." Pay no mind that you could list 50 better MC's with wayyyyy better wordplay, flow, and beat selection. Instead, support your friend and be glad that they found something that they love and enjoy. Encourage them in their search to find art that they enjoy. That motivation to find art that they love will be the same motivation that they'll use to possibly find and get into art that you both find common ground in.

I personally get into music that I find some kind of emotional connection with (anything that hypes me up, gets me through a rough day, etc.) I dont give a fuck whether or not something is popular, unpopular, hipster, indie, or underground. As long as the music gets some kind of response out of me that i like, then I fucks with it. Hell, my favorite artist is Drake, and lord knows it's no longer cool to listen to him at all. lol

A good way to see if you're a hipster or not is to look at your response to one of your favorite bands becoming more and more popular. If you discourage the spread of, popularity, and success of their music, you might be a hipster.

A "better" way to look at their increase in popularity, is to support it. Fuck it, more and more people are liking music that you knew about way back when? That's great! That's what's supposed to happen. If an artist makes good music, people will respond to it.

If my friend comes to me, hyped as fuck that they found music that they love, then I'm happy for them. It doesn't matter that I might not fuck with that artist musically at all.

If a friend claims that they're a bigger fan of an artist than I am, and I know that there's no way in hell they're right, then I figure, fuck it, imma chill. I already know how big of a fan I am and how they're probably just getting into the music. I have no reason to circlejerk myself and stroke my ego. Let them circlejerk themselves and embarrass themselves.

I understand the hipster way of thinking. A friend explained it to me like this: Let's say you found an island that you thought was great. Great location, uninhabited, beautiful views, great everything. You build up that island by yourself. You're more than happy to take in that island's beauty, all by yourself, uninterrupted by any distractions. But eventually, more and more people show up and the novelty is gone. Now you can't stand all the people who turned your once serene island into a tourist attraction.

Ignoring the fact that that's not a very good analogy for a hipster's response to music, I do get it. However, no one likes a hipster who thinks they're high and mighty, cooler than everyone else. We've got to get away from discouraging people to find art that they enjoy and get back to encouraging positivity, love, and support for the arts.

dont tell r.kelly where my little sister go

...see thats the thing about this feeling. one minute, (insert hype song here) is playing and youre jumping around, screaming the lyrics out, a real rock star. The next minute, the song changes to (insert sad love song here) and you find yourself lying down on your bed, emo as fuck

we dont need no words

im convinced that one of the healthiest things you can do for your relationship is to take a day off from your busy life and dedicate it to your significant other. take a sick day and take your man to see that action movie he joked about dragging your ass to the movies for. get your studying done early and surprise your girl with a mani/pedi date

hip hip hooray hop

If a band is good then it's good. If their music appeals to you then it should appeal to you whether they have one fan or ten million fans.
Unless it significantly changes the music, why should the number of people who appreciate it change how you feel about it? Why is that any less bizarre than - say - disliking pie because lots of other people like it too?
I think it's because when the band is obscure and niche, you feel special by liking them, like you have a secret the world doesn't know about, or you're ahead of the curve and more in touch with things than the average person.
If they then become mainstream (without changing their act and "selling out") then it spoils this special relationship or status you feel, but that's got nothing to do with the band - all that's changed is that you can't feel special any more because you like them... and that's exactly my point about hipsters.
FWIW I'm not calling you a hipster and I'm not implying that that's the only reason you might like an artist - plenty of people have a little element of it about themselves and their attitudes, but hipsters turn it up to 11, and it if often seems the single most important aspect to them.
