Indie Elitism

(1/15) > >>

Amiku0ot:
Hey guys Ive been doing some thinking about indie hipster elitism for a paper I'm working on, from my own experience and some of the reading I've done it seems like a largely male phenomenon. Has this been your experience? Any ideas why this is?

soap:
because we all have this crazy dumb competitive streak and constantly fell the need to impress anyone and everyone around us in anyway we can ?








also the more underground the bands you like are the bigger your schlong is. ;)

siobhan:
you know, i wrote a paper on indie hipster elitism before anyone even knew what it was. geez, get with it.

umm, i think it is a bit of a boy's club but i've yet to meet anyone who has been a real ass about it. the occasional *gasp* you've never heard of {insert name of band that sounds like dying animal here} comments but once you point out that you have a social life, and the hipster does not it usually ends.

El Opium:
Men will always try to compete with eachother. They don't call it "Whippin out yr indie rock cock" for nothing when two guys are trying to out name drop eachother to establish a hierachy. On the other end of things I'd say that in my experience Iowa City's hipster population seems to be split about 50/50 between the sexes. The whole idea of trying to write a paper about hipster elitism seems rather ironic to me.

E. Spaceman:
I agree with it being a male thing, if I'm talking with a girl who is inot indie and she mentions a band I don't know she'll try to describe it and maybe burn me a cd, trying to share. With boys it's more of an attempt to impress.
