HA!
You’re the man! I bow to you!
Any chance of using Noah as a clapper for the church bells at St. Stephen’s?
so to draw an analogy are the natives the israelis or palestinians in this divided borough of ours?
one scenario
natives: palestinians
the original inhabitants of brooklyn unable to resist losing large tracts of territory through disorganization and infighting and poor economic resources and being outgunned by forces supported by parental money
hipsters: israelis
empowered by the gulliani-mandate of 1998 and driven by un-called for persecution in their homelands the hipsters started to move to the land promised to them in old-school rap testimony “no sleep ’till brooklyn’. as their numbers grew they faced hostility from the new york authorities who shut down their illegal dwelling in industrial buildings and from hostile ‘natives’. however, eventually their numbers were such that they established a viable state in north brooklyn but with a volatile eastern and southern border over which raids were often launched by disenfranchised natives. they build a successful democracy however, despite being surrounded by authoritarian states and hostile terror groups.
are there alternative narratives. what do YOU think?
under hipster/israelis i forgot to mention controversial “settler” communities in rockaway beach, ditmas park and increasingly bay ridge, not supported by all hipsters but by a vocal minority who believe all of brooklyn is rightfully theirs.
apparently you can get credit for this course at pratt: “post-modern parallels between the hipster (sub) culture and arab-israeli conflict.
where do i enroll?
I don’t know, but you might be able to construct an analogy based on “people of many different cultures, who comment on here with actual life experience to discuss” and “people who try to make pseudo-intellectual comments based on nothing more than wanting attention”.
nice!
not really based on simply wanting attention though.
thinking through analogies of this natives vs hipster thing can help us understand it better.
i think ic is less about attention and more about attempting to provoke people.
Yeah, and get somebody else to do the coursework for you. Nice try kid.
they all steal their college work off the internet now. fucking hipsters (i have been known to say that actually).
you got it backwards.. because the jews were in israel first.. like 50000000 gazillion years before even “palestines” otherwise known as arabs, fucked their first camels..
hey dh – do you ever feel tired of all this?
if your granny asks what you’ve been doing can you tell her?
if you go for a job interview can you put this blog on your resume?
can you trust everyone you’ve told about this blog not to expose you?
are you worried that you will be exposed as that guy who makes a living renting apartments to hipsters in williamsburg? we remember that blog that shut down a few years ago and we fucking know it’s you dude. you didn’t cover your tracks well enough i’m afraid.
Who the fuck is this guy?
You’re a dumbfuck with a capital “D”. Why the fuck would he tell his “Granny” about this blog? Why the fuck would she care? You tell your grandmother EVERYTHING you do? If so, you can rest assured she’d love to punch your mother in the throat for not using birth control.
Another question . . . Who the fuck puts a blog on a resume? Unless your job is going to be that of a writer for some kind of publication, no one cares about a fucking blog. You’re a world class, five-star moron.
Even if his grandmother and employers knew he was the author of this site, there’s a 99.9% chance they’ll either become loyal readers or simply not give a fuck. You know why? MOST PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE HIPSTERS. You guys seems to go out of your way to make people dislike you. Shit, it’s probably the only thing you fauxhemian fucktards do well.
Your post is almost at a “Brooklyn Vegan Comments” level of retardation.
Which site are you talking about? This one:
http://ihatehipsters.blogspot.com/
It’s not shut down, but like pretty much dead like yours (diediehipster.com) — but unlike yours, it’s more readable since the author doesn’t come off like someone who stopped taking their meds.
That must eat you up inside . . . DH = lots of activity (lurkers included). Your blog = digital ghost town.
yeah- that’s the one.
that’s our man!
btw – brooklyn vegan really annoys me. why the fuck has the fact that the writer is a vegan got to do with music??
i’m not sure if bv is a hipster though. it seems to sincere. not enough irony.
i’m not sure hipsters have the balls to be vegans.
BV (the dude who runs the site) doesn’t seem that bad for a hipster since he does post articles about metal and some punk bands that I actually like (I can tolerate hipsters if they know their proper place). I wasn’t talking about him, but about those who post in the comments sections of the articles (who don’t know their place). Those are people I’d be hard pressed not to smack the shit out of in a face to face situation.
I say he’s a hipster because hipsters use “Brooklyn” like a brand name. The vegan thing . . . hipsters are 20 years late on the “Vegan as a subcultural identity” thing. The Straight Edge offshoot “hardline” kids of the early 90s were on some militant “Go Vegan or Go Fuck Yourself” ish. Earth Crisis further wed straightedge to veganism & environmentalism, and the SLC SE kids got “gangsta” with their veganism in the late 90s.
agreed.
i was never massively into the hardcore scene but i hate to see it co-opted as a fashion thing by urban outfitters etc.
they did the same with metal 10 years ago (although that was always more commercial)
it was a dark day when i saw ramones t-s being worn by people with no actual albums by the band.
and btw – my point isn’t that i want to hold onto stuff or hate it when it goes mainstream – more that commercializing flies in the face of everything those hardcore bands stood for.
I’ve come to accept that commercialization of subcultures and music is inevitbable. What really sucks about hiptards is that they do the job of the music industry (exploitation) for them. HIpsters pretend to be against mainstream exploitation but will sign to a major and bask in the spotlight while pretending to hate it. Liturgy is an example of this. This so-called “Hipster Black Metal” band (The bassist/vocalist for Averse Sefira/Birth AD refers to HBM as “indie rock w/ diminished chords”).
In fact the only subculture safe from that is the whole NS/White Power music scene(s) and thats due largely to the fact that major record labels have a lot of Jewish people working for them and are obviously none too keen on people who fantasize about killing them.
Here we go again.
Writing a blog doesn’t HAVE to be a career choice.
A blog doesn’t HAVE to set out to change the world.
You don’t HAVE to put “blogger” on your resume.
Does he get bored of writing it? Presumably not, since if he did, he could quite easily stop, and he doesn’t do more than about 10% of the writing on here anyway. He’s hosting a conversation, which is what tends to happen if you write a blog that isn’t just “mememememememe.”
His side of the argument recognises that you’re not going to change the world with a blog and it’s OK to just use it to vent. If you could only get that through your thick heads, you might suddenly get an epiphany and stop coming back on here.
Don’t know why I’m bothering to argue to be honest.
so you’re saying dh doesn’t describe himself as as junior IT manager/hate blogger/sweet italian sausage connoisseur?
I opened up the comments section specifically to write “LMFAO @ Jimmothy”
LMFAO
“If lost, please return to OHIO.”
“I”m so glad the hipster beater tied cinderblocks to my legs and dropped me in the Gowanus canal now I’ll never be part of the mainstream!” -Tyler Trustfund
LMAO!
that’s the only one i’ve found properly funny!
the hipsters can at least laugh at themselves- and there’s some cuties in there too!
these ladies can’t die. they can come over to my place and drink pbrs and listen to chillwave.
Those two are probably too busy getting fucked up on Henny and getting ran through by some “brothas” while Odd Future plays in the background to care anything about you.
good for them. sounds like a really authentic brooklyn experience!
That’s just what your mama said when my boys answered her Craigslist ad!
Those are probably not hiptards. For hiptards to laugh at themselves, they must first acknowledge the fact that they are hiptards, and we all know that it’s not cool for hiptards to do such a thing in 2012. Plus, hiptards have no sense of humor and are easily butthurt.
you have to admit the blonde is cute though, no?
I’m not feelin’ her. Perhaps if she were a bit darker . . . what can I say? I’m partial to Latinas and S.E. Asians (which seem to scare hiptards. I’ve yet to see a Cambodian or Lao chick date a hiptard as women of those two groups tend not to dig men they can beat up).

They forgot to film themselves on the subway during rush hour with enormous backpacks taking up the space of 3 people, or standing at the very top step of a subway entrance, blocking everyone’s way while they check their igadget.
which area should i think about buying a bigger house in?
– sunset park
– bay ridge
– south slope
– bensonhurst
– midwood
– kensington
or should i say *another* house to rent to you
Saigon
it’s not 1975. it’s quite nice there now. not a bad idea!
I know it’s not 1975. Traffic still sucks there, but you can score good wifi.
Riker’s Island. Great views! All waterfront!
Many assumption in that comment -sounds like potential hate speak to me. You better not start a blog, the Internet police might shut you down!!! Run, Josh! They’re a comin’!

Wow, what have we here. A thick frame wearing beardo”Brooklyn Based” blogger that used to be in a band sneaking into secret places and taking pictures!!!! Wow, imagine if someone did this in water tunnels, or subway lines, or abandoned LIRR tunnels in Brooklyn!!! Woahhhhhh! Whats next? Pictures of graffiti? Done and done and done again a thousand times. I love how new and original hipsters think they are when they just do the same thing as every hipster before them.
Lets get a couple of posts up there so he can’t send his moment of fame to his hipster buddies
kewl.
right. that will really fuck him over. his creative spirit will be crushed for ever. for ever i tell you!!!
Apparently he’s never heard of forgotten-ny.com.
Some of those places look like the aftermath of when hipster trustafarians depleted their parents’ life savings and couldn’t pay the $3000/month rent they were so willing to fork over anymore. So they trashed the places on their way home to Wiscohiowasota.
Comin’ fer ya now liarrrrrrrr….heh hehe hehehehehehe
keep tryin’ the redirects and lso’s and hijacks….keep stumblin’….LOL
Remember the meow-meow wars? That really sucked…
Are you referring to the “meow” wars that took place on the Usenet in the late 90s?
you know the hipsters all over that shit? they’re bored with vinyl now and are creating geocities sites for their bands.
Dude shut up. You’re corny and boring (like most hiptards).
Yah. That was not fun at all.
I’m wondering if those asswipes’ kids have discovered this site. Nevermind, they’ll go away when kindergarten starts up again in the Fall.
I’m not sure. I can’t imagine Neckbearded *nix gurus (my impression of a lot of them) spawning hipsters.
I was on the sidelines during that time, but actively trolling/flaming on other parts of the usenet. The flonkers considered themselves “usenet performance artists” as opposed to trolls. I was more into flaming neo-nazis and pedos. In fact, I used to roll with some alt.punk dudes who took over a White Power music newsgroup, and with the help of the “hipcrime newsagent” went on pedo bashing missions with Frogbutt. I haven’t been on the usenet since 2002.
I remember that. In a way I miss USENET.
I envision this as a parody commercial, one I’d like to see on Funny or Die or somewhere else. The testimonials would be the script. probably some little Meghan or Josh would get vastly upset and realize that they ain’t wanted….hmmm….could be an anti-hipster ad for Brookyn
sorry to disappoint but, whether this was created by hipsters or not hipsters like irony and can laugh at themselves.
can you guys? it’s good for the soul sometimes. stops ya getting all wraped up in hate.

Just when you thought hipster foodies could not get more pretentious – i give you…coffee beans at 500 bucks a pound.
Wow! That’s even more pretentious than the civet turds that were all the rage a couple of years ago. Starbucks looks totally pedestrian now…
Some nauseating Toronto hipsters. Here’s the checklist, incredibly, captured in this one video:
- terrible band
- cycling
- yoga
- insipid conversations
- narcissism
Dear Die Hipster guy,
I am very offended by your bigoted blog. Making fun of rich white people is just so racist and classist! I will either have my mommy shut your site down or die petulantly holding my breath.
Love,
Yupster [and various other sock puppets he pretends are other people]
What’s that old line? They call it class war when we fight back…
i’m not offended tom tom to be honest. i’d be laughing at these guys if i were you, i’m sure and at times i do myself (pickling classes – please!)
it’s more the fact that this blog’s a bit crude – “die” hipster’s a bit unnecessary plus when you have a blog that say’s it hates people the potential to have a little fun at y’alls expense is just too great.
and come on – it makes things more interesting for you all too doesn’t it when you have someone to argue with?
In answer to your typically assumptive question ( err…that’s a question where you have already decided you know what the answer is, but ask it anyway, ya know? ), the ACTUAL answer would be:
No.
ohhhhh. but can’t debate help me see the error of my yupster ways (I’ve already decided to put the garbage out more rather than leaving it to the other ‘native’ apartments) and you natives to see the hipsters aren’t all bad, and ultimately we’re all victims of something else.
it could be the beginning of a great healing process – like the Palestinian-Israel thing but longer.
anyone fancy a beer near the red line to begin negotiations.
who could be a neutral party to chair the negotiations between us? who is respected by both parties – Dave Lee Roth maybe?
Maybe the chief of the internet police can help you find a friend?
we could say trade giving up isolated advance settlements in bay ridge in return for safe passage through your territory to rockaway beach.
or we pay royalties on every artisinal hot dog to nathans.
or we recognize south brooklyn as a separate, independent state.
Or everyone just drives their heels right into your fucking teeth and take what they want.
now that’s the sort of reply that a man lacking intelligence posts, isn’t it now?
@intelligent (YEAH RIGHT) conversation,
You know Stevie, you really shouldn’t say anything about a person’s intelligence or lack of, when you obviously struggle with the rules of capitalization.
yawN.
you’re not big, gay or mean are you?
it’s a shame. i thought you were brining a little diversity here.
you live with your mom on staten island don’t you?
Shut up and start sucking unless you want to bleed like your drummer did. GOOSH! GOOSH!
er, so why is ‘yeah right’ in caps?
It’s called “yelling” online. Now shut up and swallow you little bitch. You saw what I did to your drummer. GOOSH! GOOSH! The little tease got more than he bargained for. Little fucker shouldn’t have forgotten the safeword (which I never honor anyway).
Hey Stevie. Just let it happen. You know you want it you little bitch. Your girlfriend was nothing more than a “beard” for you. You know her strapon isn’t going to do it for you. You crave the REAL THING like all of you homophobic hipster boys do. If you’re going to copy gay styles and mannerisms, you may as well go all the way.
Come, bow before and SUBMIT to your MASTER. I’ll leave you with “Eat Me Alive” by Judas Priest:
“Wrapped tight around me Like a second flesh hot skin
Cling to my body As the ecstasy begins!
Your wild vibrations got me shooting from the hip
Crazed and insatiable let rip!
Eat – me – alive!
Eat – me – alive!
Sounds like an animal panting to the beat
Groan in the pleasure zone, gasping from the heat
Gut-wrenching frenzy that deranges every joint
I’m gonna force you at gun point [My favorite line]
To . . .
Eat – me – alive!
Eat – me – alive!
Bound to deliver as you give and I collect
Squealing impassioned as the rod of steel injects
Lunge to the maximum spread-eagled to the wall
You’re well equipped to take it all”
TAKE IT ALL STEVIE — OR SHOULD I CALL YOU “STEPHANIE”?
Gotta love that Rob Halford. Hey Stevie, your band should cover this song.
sweet. totally love the ‘ priest.
metal – one thing the hipsters and and guidos have in common.
in fact metal was always the guido-nerd’s music.
total respect to metal fans.

Hipster decides to do some “performance art” and spray paints over a Picasso in a museum.
This is the equivalent of a hipster spray painting a cupcake on a Winslow Homer painting.
I can’t stand that, you think its right to destroy something that is not yours. I love “Real” art. vandalising something else work is not create full at all. It just shows how talentless these hipsters are. If I see one of them doing this to a painting at the MET I think it would be my civic duty to headbutt them.
Fucking toilet scum hipster trash. Seems like the concept of art to these shitrags is never about actually creating any sort of compelling end product, just a shock-value “LOOK AT ME!!!!” spectacle. As usual, something of actual cultural value, whether you like Picasso or not, has been desecrated without any regard so some asshole can get five minutes of attention. (Just like hipsters do with everything).
So I caught the latest episode of “House Hunters International”. There he is with his Zooey:
Big black glasses, nasally stuttered speech.
here are two d**chey hipsters who give up stable jobs in Chicago to live on one income in Buenos Aires. Why? They want to be part of the global community.
So let’s see if I understand this: Chicago, USA is not part of the global community? How many ethnic groups exist in Chicago?
Then after watching you start to understand. This aprtments too small. That one lacks a balcony.
The other one has a small kitchen. The first one has a crappy view.
Oh and we only want to pay 1,100/mo.
What’s happening here is that they want to play the great hipster colonialists. Like yah jane Goodalls (my apologies to Ms. Goodall) who want to observe the locals as if they were primates.
So I’m sure it won’t be too long before their blog is filled with photos of Argentian market stall owners holding up pig’s heads, hand made shawls and locally sourced produce.
Finally: These are the spank socks who whine about not having gainful employment. These two have well paying jobs and they’re pissing them away to play in another country.
I can only pray that they get kidnapped by gritty urban gangsters who beat them senseless and then beat them again for whining about being revived with non-artisanal water.
No, they’ll get kidnapped and held for ransom from their rich American parents. Probably by Shin9ing Path our some other local scout troop. And they may even survive past the time the money changes hands. End of story.
er, shining path is peru dude.
Nope, all over SA.
Hi Diehipster neanderthals,
I just want you to know that your blog comments are piquing my juvenile temper and your naughty words are illegal under new Canadian law. Since my father’s penis pill factory is registered in Ottowa you stupid fucking Guidos get to pay me! Bwahahahahahahahaha!
[Loud knock on door]
What – Oh,I’ll be right out of the bathroom mother, I swear I’m not touching myself while sniffing your dirty hamper panties!
[Muffled man's voice]
I’m a boy father! A man who is a little boy not a girl, papa! Your penis pills are not the only weapon in my arsenal! No more wire hangers! *BAMF*
And just like that… he was gone.
lol
LOL!!!
hey guido. your e dealer’s been slipping you k again.
Waaaaah, Mommy! There’s a bad website on the internet and I hate its stupid assface! Make them stop!
And I’d like to know what the hell is wrong with us Guidos having a blog to express ourselves on? Why can’t we express our feelings like you do when you ride your pennyfarthing in traffic to annoy us? In a perfect Guido world, I’d just be able to step out of my car at the light and take one whack with my ball bat. In this world, I’ll have to settle for Die Hipster.
Big mean gay fuck aka god aka stevie….
Freud would have a field day with you and your sexual fixations.
Dude, no matter how hard you tug that thing, it ain’t gonna get any bigger and you’ll still be pushing rope.
That enough dirty talk for you or has your sock puppet worn you out again?
@FUWI
How can I be Stevie? He’s skinny and weak. I’m big and strong with muscles which are to be worshiped by Asian vampire boys who mistakenly think they’re somehow “cutting edge”. Nope, Stevie and the blonde little doll in the “Van” video are both MINE!
hey homophobe. a big gay guido agrees with you. roll with it.
No, you’re the homophobe Stevie. Most hipsters are often the biggest homophobes and the biggest “ass sluts” (they take it like a champ). The same hipster mouth that utters “faggot” is the same mouth that sucks like a Hoover. FUWI assumed I was you. We both know that isn’t the case sweetboy. You (and your alias ‘Bicycle Dude’) know you’re turned on by my muscles. SUBMIT!
you are by FAR the best entertainment on here so far.
i think i’m falling for you.
pray tell us more!
i found love on die hipster! shit i’d never have thought it, but it’s all good!
maybe we could have a threeway man-hug with old-grok (but then again he didn’t turn up for our 2.00;m ‘appointment’ the other day despite leading me on)
I’m tolerant and all for the homoerotical stuff. Take a look at any gay neighborhood and you’ll see clean living, well manicured streets, and community. Sure prices go up a little bit because the gays bring “flair” to the area, but be sure, this isn’t at all what hipsters do – they drive prices up, cause a scene (looook at meeeee) and generally aren’t in it for the long-term. The gays actually have successful careers and such.
You’re may be right about that most of the time Barone, but just for the sake of entertainment purposes I’ll mention a story (true) that occurred over in Tampon, Florida. There’s some kind of run down area there that was mostly well to do once upon a time. A few decades later, it’s like a crack town. But a gay contingent went in and bought the old houses up and were overhauling them and so the area. It was all lollipops and rainbows for a while, until a gay couple was busted for some of the grisliest serial killer duo shit in a long time. They’d lure guys to the house, drug, rape, torture, and then kill them.
So though a lot of the ‘homophobic’ neighbors, primarily non-whites, were about ready to feel relief and respect for the beautifying of the hood, the whole raping and killing thing kind of soured it for them.
yeah – no wave was a bid dodgy first time around, and the revival was done in 2007.
but you know i carry a moleskin notebook around in which i scribble creative ideas and band names.
Look like the hipsters are administering their own self-abuse – 87 degrees in Crown Heights at freakin’ midnight, but they’re probably roasting in scarves and wool hats….such is the price of hipsterdom….

Foraging is hipsterspeak for “free”. I’m sure their prices reflect this.
Gotta love this quote:
“Foraging in springtime is easy, but who wants to tramp around the woods in the cold looking for black trumpet mushrooms? That really separates the men from the boys.”
No chef – there are many things that separate men from boys – wearing your kid sister’s jeans, bike lanes, cupcake tattoos are just a few. I see the football players at the local middle school running in 30 degree weather. They’re not stopping to pick Lavendar thistles for that night’s meal
Finally men don’t “forage”. They hunt and gather.
“The stuff that I have the privilege of using here, I’ve never seen in a restaurant in 16 years.” There’s a reason for that. Just imagine grabbing, say, a death angel instead of benign mushroom and serving it to a customer. Like yeah, I’m like SO sorry. My dad’s lawyer will be in touch…
My parents taught me this when I was very young – if you don’t know for certain what it is, DON’T EAT IT.

sorry guys but there’s more than one person who thinks you’re a bunch of bigoted assholes.

I think Blondie the drummer will be jealous.

HATE CRIME!!! INTERNET POLICE!!!!! MOMMY!
Unlike the average hipster forum or blog, the readership of DH actually IS diverse in terms of belief systems, political views, ethnicity, religion and lifestyle.
FYI – posting multiple times does not mean there are more of you moron.
Some of us actually marched in Occupy Wallstreet before the hipsters got on the bandwagon. We also cop to having “hipstery” college degrees like Sociology, Graphic Design, and Theatre Arts.
What’s up with wordpress and the threading? Yupster, that last post was directed towards you.
One sure sign of a hipster troll – no punctuation or capitalization where necessary.
That’s OK. There’s more than one person here that think y’all are just plain old assholes. And we use spelling and punctuation.
Yeah, those rich, privileged white kids sure have it tough. They’ve suffered for too long. It’s great there are people like you fighting the good fight.
STFU maggot
not kewl
That was for the troll(s).
yes, because you have a tenuous grasp of the internet as best and are still sending nanna drawings in the mail.
yeah – his spelling is bad, he sucks!!
That little blondie (if he’s a dude) will make a fine slave. While Stevie will be my little China Doll (or should I make him a Geisha? Decisions, decisions), the blondie will be “Ingrid” because I’ll have him dressed up like that bitch on the “Swiss Miss” box.
That was a reply to the Hipsterminator.
oooh i say!
Stevie, et. al., I think the threading may be working again. You may now return to watching your father and your 10 year old sister in the spare bedroom.
“STFU Maggot” – Good no-wave band name! I like it. we’re playing in bvillyburg next wednesday. $5 in $3 pbrs all night.
LOL! You losers are trying to bring back “no wave”? You need to call it “Fail Wave”. I hope some old-school art fag stabs you with a dirty needle. I know that’s a horrible thing to say, but in this case you deserve it.
Don’t bring your band to my hood. That will result in a beating.
it was brought back c. ’06. pay attention. are you on myspace?
no but dh’s blog’s fucked. hence the confusion in today’s insult trading.
come on dh – get one of your buddies in the port authority it dept to help you sort it or are you too busy moving people’s shit between offices?
LMAO!
A bunch of fauxhemian fuckstains regurgitating (AND ruining) a genre of music that even some of its originators (art fags) find embarrassing is not “bringing it back”. It’s more akin to violating a bloated, half-rotted corpse. Hipsters look to genres where their lack of talent/skill/taste/style can be obscured by imagery.
The hipster approach to music is simple: Make some contrived, derivative (or plagiarized) uninspired racket and tack the name of a dead or obscure genre on to it, and get props from other hiptards and the occasional clueless “normal”.
That post was to “indeed”, the hiptard dork (possibly Stevie Lame) trying (and failing like always) to show everyone how cool he is.
i actually agree with you partially on this point to be honest FTF.
you may be interested in this book which basically makes the same point as your post: that hipsters have overdosed on post-modernism (driven by the internet) and are just re-hashing old genres and watering them down.
Retromania: Pop Culture's Addiction to Its Own Past
Not just the Internet – the media idolizes the “cool” and “hip” thing of the moment. Until the next one comes along. They have the attention span of a gnat, but are VERY LOUD. Thus spawning more hiptards.
OMG Simon Reynolds is Die Hipster!!! You did it Stevie/Big Homophobic Mean Guy/Special Ed/Yupster/Indeed! You cracked the case! Yay! Whadagoodboy! You so special! Some special widdle man’s getting wice kwispie tweats to-night!
It’s funny, but you often hear reflections on the musical past about how ‘labels used to work with signed artists for more than one album…’, indicating a patience for growth or change ( this with actual talent, btw, not “SonHiptards Music Prawjekt Funded By Daddy” ). And so music critics in any media form tended to critique with that in mind. Fans had more patience.
But the British music press were NEVER like that. It was ‘what’s hot THIS week?!’ and known for a level of fickleness rivaled by few. For some reason unbeknownst to people with an IQ >45, the Americans *noticeably* adopted this around the late 90′s. Which was also a time a lot of hiptards were imitating 60′s brit pop music, hair, and clothes.
