Hipsters buy and consume the music more than the hood....

This argument can go back to whenever the first hip hop commercial record was released

Pretty sure @Artbarr can expound on this


Mods are whom sought out reggae and hiphop culture to b*stardize them as ska rock.
Then later in their inquisitive marketing and failed tries to assimilate the culture of roots reggae for ska.
like they did blues for rock failed. Eventually needed the right type of black sellout moment and principal to be effective and the rest is our dismal history since 1996.
In the worst sliding scale of quality for music in one genre ever.

Hipsters are just new mods,....

Hipster is just a word someone playing dress trying to fake like they are hip and don't know none of the shyt, culturally they are perpetrating. Plus, are only perpetrating to be able to capitalize.
in a discovery zone to revenue grab and ruin what they want to act and play like they are hip about.

I was downtown for some reason and stumbled upon this little pop up boutique shop with golden era records (Mob Deep, Biggie, even some rare shyt) plastered all over the walls. shyt seemed like a hip hop museum... But the shyt was run by a bunch of asian and white hipsters and when they saw me walking past they gave me the :mjpls:

Schoolboy Q Blank Face album the only thing that really gave me that authentic hood feel this year......

Kodak Black to lesser extent as well

But overall, I don't feel like these new "hood" rappers represent the real streets. How you hood but you spend your whole project shouting out European Fashion Brands and shyt like that?

I still bump a few new cats like Kevin Gates and Young Dolph be it definitely ain't the same
