Funny article:

http://uncyclopedia.org/w..._a_hipster


I love all kinds of music, but i'm somewhat of a musical snob when it comes to Country and Rap. I really just can't stand hardly any of it.... but that's just personal taste, not because I don't respect it, or I think it sucks.

The cool thing about this forum is that folks are very open-minded and don't bash others for their musical tastes for the most part. I can never figure out how some folks feel like their musical tastes gives them some superiority over others, as if they are right and others are wrong. ya know?

Anyways... lots of rock snobs out there. Show 'em this article when they get too obnoxious!!

i admit i am an elitist music snob, but those who know me know

I'm too stuck up to be a hipster. They're beneath me.

i think people who brag about hating rap and country are provincial and small minded. seriously.

Anx said:

But its ok to hate jazz,whatever.
I'm not gonna feel guilty for not listening to rap,and I'm not small minded.

Anx said:

I'm not bragging! I was just admitting something. I'm not particularly proud of it. I need HELP!!!!! Someone needs to sit me down and show me how to enjoy Tim McGraw and Jay-Z.

Oh, and also to enjoy their music.

For country, try Lyle Lovett.

gypsyfire said:

i didn't say i hate jazz. i just said i don't have an ear for it....which isn't completely true, as i'm a big fan of alice coltrane and i like a lot of john coltrane's work as well.

if you take offense to my comment about small-mindedness, maybe that says more about you than me. after all, i wasn't singling you out specifically with my comment.

You look cute from down here.

No panties, huh? Risky!

NorthernLad said:

i think there's good country and crap country/good hip hop and bad hip hop, just like there's good and crap with every genre of music.

of course, "good" and "crap" are relative to the listener's taste. but speaking from my own tastes, it's really sad to know people who'll never give great music like johnny cash or public enemy a chance because "ALL country and ALL rap is horrible".

there's good shit in every musical genre. it's just a matter of enjoying music enough to be open to it all.

Someone, I won't say any names, told me I am a hipster. Like it is bad to be a snob.

You cannot be too snobby about music.

Anx said:

I'm not a hipster but hipsters dig me.

HamsterHuey said:

don't get me wrong - i'm a music snob to the Nth degree. i look for what the music snobs are praising on pitchfork, listen to it, and find reasons to hate it, just to outsnob the snobs (not that it's difficult anyway). i'm so snobby i think jar jar binks is the cutting edge of retro, and if you disagree, you're a loser. that's how much of a snob i am. nickelback is the next kraftwerk, if you really think about it.

HamsterHuey said:

I think you're mistaking me for another heiress...

Anx said:

Hehehe. We all know our Carpenters albums are the shiznick. Pulease.

Heiress said:

Is there another one?



It's breezy here, innit?

the carpenters lost their iconoclast-hip cred when sonic youth covered 'superstar', you know. but i hear they're making a comebackback.

hey sos! i thought i felt a pin in my voodoo doll!

Anx said:

I'm bringing Glitter baccccck.
You MF's don't know how to act.

Anx said:

there is no forgiving that statement. nickelback aren't even the next nu shooz.

I guess irony will save you.

CinisterCee said:

I've gotten pretty good at it. I hope to reach Anx's level one day.

I can't stand country or rap (at least today's rap) either. I find both genres boring as hell. However, even though it's boring, I do respect country because the artists do have talent and it is real music even though it ain't my thing. I can't say the same for today's rap though. I have absolutely no respect for it whatsoever.

Amen! I hear ya!

CinisterCee said:

see, in twenty years we'll all be slapping our foreheads and wondering how we were so blind to the musical innovations of nickelback. it was all right there, all along. brian eno will die sad and lonely because of them. not today, but eventually. mark my words lightly. look how long it took the rockist intelligensia to catch on to bowie's low album! i'm telling you, a hard rain is gonna fall - and it's going to be a rain of mullets and jesus goatees.

Anx said:

although - - - I did have a mullet (sorta) in high school. And a RAT TAIL!!
