@@profquad I think you are confusing white people awkwardness, which is always there in every generation with a "through line" in a specific cultural trend.

What I mean with that is that white people have bred themselves over thousands of years to always think of the future, make preparations, plan ahead, collect resources to prepare for winter, always worry about the future and about what the people around you think of you, because your standing in the community is crucial for your survival.

White people are good at that and that is where their success and wealth comes from.
There is a downside to it though. They have a hard time relaxing and living in the moment.

That is why white people are so fascinated and enamored with black people, because black people are the opposite in that regard. They live in the moment and don't think much of the future. They always seem to have fun and be able to let go without thinking of embarrassing themselves. They don't save, they don't plan for the future, they just live in the moment.

That of course has many, many drawbacks too, which can be observed every day, but nevertheless, white people envy them for it.

White people need 2 things to have fun, be social and be funny:
1.) Booze
2.) Irony

Irony is like a cheat that allows awkward people to be funny, because when you pretend to do stuff ironically, when you pretend to only do and say a thing because you are goofing on someone else, someone who would say or do those things, then you don't embarrass yourself.
You are not putting yourself out there for others to judge, you are just imitating something and making other people laugh that way.

My point being that the thing at the heart of Hipsterism is universal to white people.

I am (mostly) German. I was born in 1978, which means I spent the 80s as a child and the 90s as a teen.

German pop culture was extremely ironic and "hipsterish" in the 90s, even though Hipsters were not a thing yet in the USA.

You wouldn't believe how extreme it was in Germany back then.

Basically all the top 10 songs in the charts for the whole decade were comedic and ironic songs making fun of other artists and musical genres.

There is a musical genre in the German speaking world (including Austria and Switzerland) that doesn't really exist in the English speaking world.
It is called "Schlager".

It is hard to explain, but very roughly, basically it is pop music, but really shitty pop music for old people.

The closest thing to it in the Anglosphere is stuff like the music Engelbert Humperting made, but more upbeat.

The point being that it is music that appeals to old people without being old itself, you know what I mean? In the English speaking world old people are mostly known for listening to music that was popular in their youth. In the German speaking world that is not the case. Old people still want new music, but they don't like the music that is made for young people, so they listen to "Schlager".

You could say Schlager is to Pop what a county fair is to Disneyland.

Normally young people find Schlager incredibly lame, cheesy and embarrassing, but back in the 90s that suddenly switched.

Young people started listening to Schlager ironically and started dressing up in vintage clothes from the 60s and 70s.

The biggest German musical acts of that decade were all extremely ironic goof bands that made songs about litter boxes and eating rice and did everything to look as embarrassing as possible. The biggest star among them never washed his hair so it would look greasy and disgusting. His fans called him "The Master" and he would put smelling stickers in his CD cases that smelled like BO and cheap cologne so his fans could "smell the Master" while listening to his deliberately cheesy music and shit like that.

Everything was drowning in irony. Nothing was sincere. Everything was deliberately shitty and silly and all of it happened about 10 years before Gavin McInnes moved from Canada to New York City and modern Hipsterism got started.

And it had nothing to do with any previous trend in the New York Jazz scene.

As I said, it is just a natural thing to white people that never really goes away, just flares up a little more extreme sometimes and then ebbs down again.

That doesn't mean that there really is a through line between 60s Jazz and what happened in the 2000s.

What about a video on the acceptance and rise of nerd culture? It used to be something people were ashamed about and bullied for, but now it's like in vogue.
