On Hipsters

Like so many things, Cosmic's post made me think of Calvin and Hobbes. Surprisingly relevant to the thread. Which is not to say you can't still enjoy the music!

Even non-mainstream, non-commercial nihilism can't be trusted.

Only two thing one needs to know to be successful in life. The girls watch the guys who are dancing. And, girls secretly think that the guys setting along the walls sulking are a bunch of pussies. Make your choice, either way, I could care less. I've got my dancing shoes on, and if you chose to set, your girl is mine if I want.

The 70's is just when the phenomenah exploded and wasn't a big city thing. Even a dork working in a Mississippi gas station could have a mohawk and Sex Pistols shirt on.

The 70s was also, if I recall correctly, when affordable consumer stereo units became available. In the 1970s, just about everyone had a TV and hi-fi.

Hi-Fi? Dude! In the 70s I had a 6-inch reel to reel tape system with stereo speakers that cost more than the tape recorder.

 

[deathmetal]

Dunno. When did it become common to own more than a radio?

Saw this one today, figured it was on topic for this thread.

 

[pappymac]

Here we go again. Another bash the Mac user post.

If the shoe fits...
In all honesty, I thought it was simply funny, and it seems to be satirizing more than Mac users (see the title of this thread + notice her glasses and Starbucks cup).

So who are the dwarfs ?

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure the creepy sinister dude standing in the background is Bill Gates.

 

[mayfair70]

Dwarves are chinese child sweatshop workers.

Anyone have ideas for pickled herring? Aside from setting it on fire and laughing while watching it burn?

Whaaaaaaaa? There are dozens of types of pickled herring. What you suggest is heresy!

 

[deathmetal]

I enjoy pickled herring, with the right dose of tabasco.

I pulled more tail off the dance floors of the discos in Boston than I could ever count. I had little competition when it came to dancing, I started dancing when I was just a kid as me and my sister always listened to music and danced together. Either you can feel the beat or you can't.

In 1976 I bought an Onkyo TX 4500 receiver and a set of Acoustic Research AR 12's with a Dual turntable, it was a sweet set up for the times.

Probably still a sweet setup. My last venture into the electronics division of a major store had me disappointed: too much focus on geeky features, not enough on sound quality and power.

...and giant speakers. What's wrong with this generation? Why are they not demanding giant speakers? I would have thought that by now we would all have speakers that took up half of our houses, not ity bity speakers that don't have the capacity to incite the neighbors to call the cops at all. When has anybody in the history of music ever heard of a Bose speaker getting someone arrested?
I used to have a set of Kenwood tower Speakers that automatically called the cops for your neighbors when you turned them above 7.

People don't want to raise hell anymore. They want the world to come to them, and offer them things, so they can keep posting on Instagram.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I just don't understand a world where people don't want to get arrested. Bunch of hipster pussies.

Social justice will not be achieved my mass incarceration of non violent criminals. Especially when white collar crooks destroying world economies and ripping off the poor and elderly walk free. This thread is no longer amusing.

What marketing is this person talking about? I've not seen any ads, nor anything in forums, nor magazines that targets manly men. What am I missing?
