Well dressed does not equal hipster. American Apparel t-shirts that I own have FAR outlasted any other non AA shirts. Hipster = someone who does something to follow a trend, to seek validation or likes things to "fit in" or feel "cool". I even will go as far as stating that elitistism is a form of Hipsterdom.

There is such as thing as having standards for standards' sake, as opposed to having them to seek approval. Giving a fuck about metal doesn't mean you give a fuck for points.

what destroyyoualot said. we care about metal because metal is our lives. we dont want to see it turn into a trend and it already has. we stand our ground. i dont care what you people listen to, but i know you listen to 'metal' and cant tell me the history of the genre. give me a break you swashbuckling newbies. you kids make me sick, go back to listening to your creed and godsmack and stay out of my genre of music.

I think you're being closed minded. Just because YOU care about metal culture, doesn't mean that someone else has to in order to be a real metalhead. I honestly couldn't care less what's popular and what's not. Which yeah, some of my more "trendy" friends make fun of me for. (for instance, liking THE FACELESS, apparently i'm not supposed to because they're too popular and hip... or The Black Dahlia Murder, which i also like etc...) but you think because i don't care what's hip and what's not that i'm not a real metalhead? That i pretend to like the music? How does that even make sense? You're saying that if i DON'T care about what's popular and what's not, that I DON'T really like the music for myself?
Sorry bud, but it totally sounds like you got this shit backwards. IMHO metal dudes who get down on popular/hip bands because they're "watering down" the scene are just too afraid of loosing their "individuallity." You can't STAND the thought that you're NOT actually different from everyone else in the world... that you're just another person, with nothing that makes you special...
Because you see, I don't listen to metal to feel "different" or to be "an individual", i do it because i love the music. Anyone who ever tries to say that i SHOULD care about metal culture, or what is/isn't hip, is just fooling themselves, and in it for ALL the wrong reasons.
FAGGOT.

I think being a metalhead means you enjoy listening/playing metal. anything else is bullshit. does this mean I condone hipster culture? no but i'm also not gonna spend my time worrying or complaining about a pretensious sect of humanity that has nothing valid to offer... unless of course it directly inhibits my ability to listen to or participate in said metalhead activities. i shall cross that bridge when i come to it.

I didn't really think it was you. Argument was just too silly. Arguing that you NEED to care about what's hip... in order to be a real metalhead? ughh.
[Jun 8,2011 6:39pm - arilliusbm ""]
I think there's good points on both sides of the aisle. There's no question that metal is full of shallow-minded socialites who latch onto current trends for non-musical reasons. There's no denying that. As musicians, we would want the kind of fan that enjoys the music and art we create. Real fans are ones who connect with the music and understand what the artist is portraying.
On the otherhand, I also believe the subcultural values of metal should be preserved, before we lose grasp of what metal represents. Subcultural values you say? Indeed. "Hipsters" are those who have no real subculture to latch on, and are nomadic in the sense of moving around music scenes. With metal, I feel, this is different. Metal today is bot what it was in the past. You will always have your traditionalist fans, and your liberal fanbase.
Metal has changed, its fanbase has changed. We live in a world where art is constantly evolving, whether it be by rehashing old sounds to make them new again while blending your own style into it(OFFICIALLY GHOST), or by cross-genre mixing. Crossover is to shoegaze blackmetal as technical deathmetal is to prog metal. Everythings been done now, and the majority of the fanbase has no real identity because of metal being so widespread bs available now.
Listen to what you want to listen to, don't do it for social reasons, and try to delve into the classics. Appreciate the art for what it was, what it still is, and what it will be. Filter out the bad bands. Filter out the false fans.
Death to hipsters, restore metal. Move backwards to move forward.
