Post by: Phoenix Dark on February 03, 2014, 12:18:58 AM: Macklemore is the worst type of hipster: a mainstream hipster who wallows in ignorance ("Macklemore is the only rapper who does x") and craves social validation.

Quote
In what asinine, addled universe is “hip-hop” reducible to YouTube comments? Hip-hop is certainly a culture “founded from oppression,” but what might you know of that, Macklemore? It quickly starts to feel like the white kid in the front row of the Af-Am Studies class, droning on about his own radicalism, convinced he’s the only one in the room with Dead Prez on his iPhone.
http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2014/01/macklemore_grammy_wins_don_t_hate_the_thrift_shop_rapper_because_he_s_white.html

I don't hate Same Love, or it's message. And yes I will readily admit hip hop is the most homophobic music in the US right now, and probably second to only reggae worldwide. Yet the song is so preachy and condescending that I can't help but be annoyed. Kanye West called out hip hop homophobia years ago when it wasn't safe. More importantly, he pointed to his own flawed view on the issue, his own use of derogatory language towards gays, etc. I have more respect for those who can discuss this stuff while admitting they are imperfect than those who sit on a cloud judging (see: Lupe Fiasco). The best rappers are those with the most contradictions, the most flaws.

has it actually gotten worse (more crowded etc whatever) in urban/downtown thrift stores after that song broke? That would amuse me greatly if true. I have no real thrift stores around here to base any trends on.

Right after there was a rush to the bins I'd say. Then they realized that the bins is full of sketchy people, smells and people doing insane type feeding frenzies as soon as new piles of crap come out. It's not for tourists what so ever.

To be honest it's harder to find good men's stuff anyway. Most dudes I personally know wear stuff till it falls apart. It's not donated or tossed because "not in season."

half the appeal is finding stuff in the pockets. I even found some dude's checkbook once; almost tried to cash a check but guilt got to me. plus I didn't want to go to jail.

edit: yeah, men's stuff is either some jizzed up sports team junk or mothballed old man blazers and pants. very rarely will you find anything particularly interesting or not threadbare.

Correct, if a Seattle hipster likes Macklemore he is probably several layers removed from first-order Macklemore fandom and just posing against some outer hipster group.

Aren't hipsters the new mainstream anyway? That look is everywhere now. The "true" hipsters that went the extramile regarding outlandish looks were always a minority. The type of people that called somebody a cigarillo because he wore skinny jeans 5 years ago are wearing these themselves nowadays so they can fuck the girls with licorice glasses.
