I feel asleep listening to Oh Comely last night, I was trying to make an effort and wake up at normal times for christmas, only got 3 hours sleep though.

>> No.8288860

I don't like things because they're obscure but most of what I like happens to be obscure. I don't give a fuck if that makes me a hipster.

NMH is good for what they are but it's not really my type of music.

>> No.8288891

>>8288791
Well it makes sense that hipsters like the potato head album unironnically.

Oh Comely was basically guitar 101 chords with intentionally vague lyrics for 8 minutes. Throw in random and dissonant trumpets at the end and bam you got deep music art.

Why /jp/ like Touhou?
It is pretty much normalfag materials now.
From the little girls singing cirno perfect math class in youtube, nips going clubbing with touhou tunes and gaiafags wanking over 2hus? I dont see /jp/ dropping them anytime soon.

It's not normalfag material in general. It's normalfag material relative to the rest of the fandom. It's kind of like how cosplaying basically got taken over by rave chicks looking to hook up with cute sk8erbois. It's not 'normal' by normal people standards, but they're still more normal than the original inhabitants.

Don't you mean guys from /fit/? That's the general impression I always got from /cgl/. You've got all the passive aggressive nerds from /fit/ who want to bulk up solely to fuck 3d, and then all of the general cocksleeves who go to con afterparties.

Most people there are either fat, or skin and bones. The few model types are the exception. Much of a chance of having a hot guy there as one in here.
Normalfags are in /soc/ and /b/ as far as I know.

The Japanese Touhou fandom and /jp/'s notion of normalfaggotry have seriously fuck-all to do with each other. Anybody who thinks that the actual (read: Japanese) Touhou fandom was ever the exclusive domain of /jp/-types was is seriously deluded.

No, /fit/ are, like the other anon said, passive aggressive nerds who channel their nerd rage into working out. Some of them are actually productive people who aren't doing it to get "femanon" cred, but a few are, and they're generally attention whores on other boards, which is why people have the impression /fit/ is like that in general.

/soc/ are that guy who always complains about being 'friend zoned' even though he's actually fucked a fair few girls. They're hipsters basically who whine when girls don't fall for the whole deep artist with sensitive fweelings schtick (even though a fair few of them actually do).

I think we can all agree the worst kinds of people are the hipsters who constantly run their mouth about "PUA" though.

Just because you and most people on /mu/ would recognize something like Nurse With Wound does not mean he is not obscure. Killing the artist in the studio and mastering the only copy of an album yourself is the not the prerequisite for obscurity. Go out and ask 1000 people about NWW. Go ask 1000 NMH listeners about NWW. See who actually knows what they're talking about.

I can't be the only person that finds independent rap more obnoxious than commercial rap. Just listening to some nigger think he's deep because he talks about how dat bes rayciss in his rapping is fucking annoying.

What's worse is that this shit seems to be everywhere. Aren't hipsters in love with that Tyler, the Creator faggot now?

>> No.8289027

>>8289011
Just because 1000 random people on the street don't know what something is doesn't mean it's obscure. Try that yourself with something like K-On! or Yume Miru and I guarantee you'll get many more blank looks than coherent responses. There's a certain "obscurity" in the hobby of something like music if you're looking past what your parents played when you were a kid or what you like on the radio. That doesn't mean that anything, however, to someone who is even slightly well-versed in the hobby.

>>8289003
Nowadays, pretty much every person with a nonstandard taste will self-identify as hipster. Ironically, so far, but the meaning switch has long been underway.

It goes like this, really:
He listens to something I don't like. Do I know what it is?
Y: Media-fed ignoramus.
N: Hipster.
