So, this is how I understand it: Hip-hop, actually cool, legitimately cool, because it came about to mean that you were more concerned with being yourself and doing your thing and “keeping it real” than with being seen as cool. And, of course, black people/culture = ultimate cool, especially if you happen to be White And Feeling Bad About Your Privilege. Hipster, in its current incarnation, means someone who is constantly trying to be cool by trying to get others to realize how much they do not give a flying fuck; of course, what this really means is that no one gives more flying fucks about how they are perceived than they do, so they just come off as insecure a$$holes. It’s like, The Fonz = actually cool. That kid in your school who went around imitating The Fonz so that you would know how cool he was = insecure asshole. But, you should maybe not listen to me, because I would never claim to be the authority on what is “cool”. I was always more Freaks and Geeks, myself.
