90's Rock is Hipster?

[Zardnaar]

Over here you see a few university age types wandering around with T shirts of mostly 90s rock bands.

Guns and Roses and Nirvana t shirts never really went away along with maybe Metallica but every now and then you see some odd stuff like Cradle of Filth, Fear Factory, or bands that were popular but not as big as Nirvana and co like Faith no More, Megadeth or whatever.

A lot of stuff I used to listen to and some I still do.

Anyway I asked some gamers I know about it and they said it's mostly a hipster thing they might like one or two songs. One hipser wearing a Cradle if Filth shirt didn't know the name of the lead singer. I did and I'm not even a fan of Cradle if Filth.

You're judging someone for not know the frontman of an obscure band and yet calling them the hipster?

It's the early edge of the 90s reboot. 30 year cycle. This is the mainstream edge, the hipster garage bands have been hitting it pre cool for a little bit.

Back then we listened to them and had magazines like Metal Hammer.

So even if you didn't like the band you tended to pick up stuff that way.

Or you had most of the albums and the CD sleeves would list the lyrics and band members.

Somehow the 80s retro has been going on for 20 years tho.

 

[Zardnaar]

I'm not sure if 90s retro ever really went away though. A few bands never broke up or the lead singers formed a new band and still did well.

I had my CD collection raided in the late 2000s and a few years ago.
Anything grunge, metalica, Manson, red hot chili peppers got raided.

KMFDM and Faith No More as well.

Now I have to keep an eye on my D&D books and Sega Megadrive.

My 10 niece also knows I have Star Wars stuff as well.

Yeah, and the 60s are always kind off around too, but you don't get Stranger Things and Retrowave and Blade Runner and aviators and Top Gun in this quantity every decade.

Kids of 80s turned into teenagers if 90s with internet.

Videogames generation.

Yes, '90's rock is awesome. It was new and playing on the radio in my '20's. Though I've never self-identified as a "hipster."

 

[Hygro]

Out here the 90s retro started right on time through like 2009-2011, but it kept getting off to a false start and didn't really get going until 2014, but even then, not really, and the past 3 years have had a lot of 90s retro influence including finally the mid to later 90s (the rest of it was early 90s retro), and a large chunk of the 90s retro was the 90s's 70s retro anyway, AND THE WHOLE TIME THERE'S BEEN A 20 YEAR BANGING 80s RETRO. Like it won't end. And you know what, I'm not even mad.

Are you OK Patine that's twice in the last week we have agreed on something.

Just thought I would check.

 

[Zardnaar]

What would be 80s retro in 1999?

Will 1998 do?

Hipsterism is dead and I don't understand the point of this thread. : )

I can't wait until the sub-cultures associated with hip-hop/gangsta-rap, techno-dance, vapid 21st Century pop, and these other annoying music styles can be said to be dead...

You need to calm down

My local radio station plays a lot of 1990s music during their "classic rock" segment. I'm not sure what to make of that.
