I saw some hype beast hipster lookin chick on twitter accuse a NY rapper of biting Q cause he wore a bucket hat :why:
How you gonna be a Hypebeast AND a Hipster?

:dahell:

Yall are just using broad categorizations of cacs (not that I'm mad they've been doing it to us for years)

It's just starting to get to the point where back in the day anyone with long hair was a "hippie"

:pachaha:

FWIW a real hipster wouldn't be caught dead on twitter and probably wouldn't even have a smartphone..

I guess.. But hipsters would be way more likely to be into Lionel Ritchie, Sun Ra or watching Charlie Chaplin movies than listening to SBQ....If they were to be into rap its not gonna be anything thats remotely on the mainstream radar like TDE or OF...They would be more likely to be on a search to buy every Young MC or Oaktown 357 12 inch they could find...

What you're describing at the average SBQ fan would fall into the category of Hypebeasts.. The kids that have to have every new Jordan retro release or Charlotte Hornets Starter...

Yeah I'm not even talking about hypotheticals and what they might be prone to like more...I'm talking from real life experience, they're fukking with Q...I ended up at this all vinyl party just a couple of weeks ago...an event they throw once a month, the entire premise is the sh!t you're talking about...bunch of hipsters crowded in the basement of top hipster venue in the city...the type of spot where the hipster that runs the joint describes it as "the coolest space in the city...we didn't set out to make a cool space :beli: ...it's unpretentious, inclusive and accessible, and whatever coolness people attribute to us comes to our cultivating that.” ...Party was billed as "ALL VINYL. Funk, soul, boogie, disco, reggae, hip-hop, psychedelic and more"...played pretty nothing but vintage and relatively obscure records all night..all the hip hop played was obscure older joints...the only modern hip hop they played the entire night was Q's Man of the Year and some random Action Bronson record

Think this video (a clip of one of the events last year)...but way more packed and without the random older black folks line dancing


And imagine a bunch of "carefully maintained to not look too maintained" bearded up hipsters wildin' out when the beat to Man of the Year drops :heh:...these weren't hypebeasts (i've been to enough Spitta shows to know the difference lol...but yeah they're prolly on Q too)...i felt like i was in a scene from HBO's Girls

LMAO Schoolboy makes it work because it fits his off-the-wall kinda style, but I've seen some dudes around town rocking bucket hats and they look like fools :what:
