The Clash of Modern-day Culture's Opponents Two


 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.
