Great Episode, I'm gonna throw my own hot take in and say the spirit of the hipsters lives on in the terminally online cultures of the dirtbag left and "alt-right" (whatever that even entails nowadays). Both are very much obsessed with irony and abstraction, but a form of it tailored to furthering certain sentiments related to political goals. Cumtown and Warmode are both sides of this coin Imo.

Anyway great stuff, hope this is eventually successful enough to do weekly. and PS: Adult Swim episode when? HUGE part of 2000s culture that has kind of become slowly irrelevant over the years but has undoubtedly been immensely relevant to the current meme culture.

Thank you for this point. can you elaborate what you mean by abstraction? that's the first time I've heard it mentioned with regards to hipsterism. Would love to make the link between hipsterism and cumtown too if you can go off a bit more on that.

I recall so vividly that 4 year period between seasons 3 and 4.Downloading them on Kazaa and wishing someone would bring it back, how could this show get cancelled? Call me a traditionalist, but I still prefer those first 3 seasons.

@GOD HIMSELF Unironically tho, Family Guy reruns on Adult Swim was the I Love Lucy of the late Millenials and Early Zoomers

Y'all are great. Thanks fellas. Do y'all ever plan to make a Patreon or anything like that?

Thank you, this is sincerely touching. We don't, maybe in a year. We'd like to get a bit better before we do Patreon--get to a level where we can can post more consistently. Any Apple/Spotify Reviews are deeply appreciated in lieu though

This was such a good episode. Shout out Capitol Hill Seattle, they turned the local thrift shop into a WeWork

Remember Shuffle

I looked into it and it's the same thrift shop from the Macklemore music video lol

Remember Shuffle

lol, that's awesome. Would have been a great detail for the show.

As a total ren faire dork who has literally read a book about its history I can say that the first ren faire spring up in LA in 63, ie 5 years before people really started talking about hippies and the many artisans such as ppl who made cermamic or wooden kitchenware was absolutely a counter culture "protest" against the increasing ubiquity of plastic items in american households starting in the 50's. I guess just making a connection between the artisanal trend with hipster food

Remember Shuffle

Interesting link between the two subcultures. That desire to make products you would otherwise buy a plastic manufactured version of.

Amazing episode, this format really works imo. An obvious more defined subculture to look at next would be the classic mid 00s emo. The extent to which they organically descend from the 90s indie rock scene of the same name; how they were defined by marketing and the media reaction; how and why it evolved into 'scene' around 2008/9 and whateved happened to scene. (It seems to me they just faded into hipsterdom with the new decade and the more garish ones formed 'swag' culture).

Remember Shuffle

Thank you. Yeah we did do an emo-ish episode (ep 9) but it didn't do that well, so we've sort of avoided it. But I think you may be right that if we focused more on the subculture than the music, it might generate more interest.

Imo the thing to remember about hipsters is it represented a lot of people trying pretty hard to do ethical capitalism and all they got is open brick facades everywhere and the enmity of basically everybody

@Captain Fantastic like all things ofc it became a consumerist spectacle but hipster staples like thrift shopping, local arts, bike culture etc make economic and ecological sense, they became empty status symbols after being reflected by capitalism back into the world

Iraqi youth wearing skinny jeans have faced violence, with religious fundamentalists denouncing “emo kids” as promoting or belonging to “homosexual” subculture etc.

Way too much hippie idolization. Hippies were WAY more like the 2000s hipsters than given credit here. There’s a kind of a conflation with the political radicalism of the 60s with hippies, which in and of itself is fuel to the fire of hipster nostalgia love

Rory Lynch

I went to Pitzer college in the 00s and there were still kids who acted like crunchy granola hippies who had the idealism and activism but there were also the emerging hipsters who were the insufferable know it alls with bake a light phones and corn cob pipes. I know it’s not 60s hippies but I dunno I think the distinction can be meaningful

GOD HIMSELF

I always thought of hipsters as the ancestors of beatniks more than hippies

Taylor Noll

I could be totally talking out of my ass here, but I think whereas 00's hipsterism required snobbery towards mainstream media, the "alt" early-millenial/gen-z audience seems kind of swept up in embracing mainstream culture. (e.g. 'poptimism') And who can blame them? I remember being 18 and having my mind blown hearing DFW or Naomi Klein talk about how nefariously commercials ingest and regurgitate the irony/cynicism/anti-authoritarianism of the time. And that was in the 90s. Now we've reached a total saturation point where mainstream and "alt" culture have been almost completely flattened together. Class / wealth inequality is obviously a huge part of this, but all the kids who made the best shit at my art school work at Condé Nast or whatever ad agency that pays them a salary to make a living in NY. I'll echo the sentiment that if there are "hipsters" now, it's really those who are online on Twitter under the age of 40. And if there's any "snobbishness," it lies in a cool, detached derisiveness towards anyone who doesn't ingest, react and process news/media/culture at a hyper-fast rate.

The attitude that there was always a secret better way to do everything that can be lorded over people-
drip coffee sucks, it has to be some kind of tedious pour over.
streaming music is actually low quality, real fans listen to records.
expensive selvedge denim is the only type of jeans to wear (and there's secret, fiddly way to care for it).
etc etc

Ah you basically cover it with Craft Brew Hipster.

anything post psychoanalytic/social anthropological self aware era is terrible. modern society is a cul-de-sac of misery. even pointing this out is awful and suffocating in itself. we all know it and we’re slowly kurt cobaining ourselves because of it.

not to get too dark lol
