The single identifier
that created conclusiveness to my claim were the recent and honest comments
attached to an active video which is currently a hit music title. Interestingly
enough, the song was one of a few that had probably made it on the charts by
way of the hipster category of people. It was selected—according to the
majority of the comments as well as from personal experience and my own public
observation—for its genuine, timeless music quality, interesting and dynamic
tune, as well as for uniqueness and probably its lyrics alongside. As has this
been the basis of selection for most of these seemingly unlikely, but
reasonably credible hits. Anyway, the comments on the page seemed a typical
battle for this situation between “mainstreamers” and “hipsters”. The top
comments included several which were blunt and that evaded the attack of the
mainstreamer, but which used counter to show favor to the hipster reasoning for
partiality to the catchy music. Others are less persuasive, grammatically
accurate and their authors simply object to bring peace to the dispute and
which encourage listeners to enjoy the music amongst one another’s difference
in view on the object of shared likeness. Then there are the commentators who
are clearly high strung on the music and, expressing their newfound love in the
music. The difference between them—and this situation appears on many of the
videos of songs which fit this profile—is that the ones whom would label
themselves hipster are sincere about the music, and have and will continue to be.
The carefree, lustful comments are representative of those who discovered the
music by way of the true praise and popularity the song gained by listeners who
could appreciate and recognize the quality of the music. They would discover it
because of the rage over it and then become tasteful toward it for that reason
and not because of the music itself.
With that as both an example of opposing aspects between the
two types on a subject that is very relevant, and as an analogy also, most
situations to follow may be fairly easy to differentiate about this same
process. Perhaps it would not be even obvious to select these two types as the
opposing, single people groups. Never the less, it may be idealized.
