The Tragic Life of a Hipster/Talent Scout
Okay, so I've always viewed myself as a hipster (not the douchey kind), but I dislike Top 40/etc.
I'm the kind of guy that likes to look across the internet and find fresh artists that people literally haven't heard of. I'll listen to their music for years without people even scratching the surface on their tracks. But... here is where the tragedy comes along.
I'll be sitting around and perusing the internet as usual, then someone will post about how they found out about an artist they all of a sudden love! They become popular, or have been for a long time and all I can do is think to myself, "It's not new! Don't say it's new! Don't think about it being something you found out about! Get with the times, kid!" Then I get in a bit of a grumpy brawl with the person and my day goes on.
Then, the cycle just repeats itself as I discover a new emerging artist with talent.
The other thing that will get on my nerves is this...
I will be listening to an artist I've just discovered and one of those conformist know nothings will come along and say, "woah, what are you listening to?" I'll quickly give them the name to which they reply, "oh yeah, I saw them on a magazine." This is where my blood boils.
"Oh yeah, I'm sure you've seen a band with only 10 followers on a magazine you piece of lying crap!" They get pissy how they "thought" it was "someone else" and they go on to do it multiple times because they just want to look like they know something.
So there you have it. The reason someone like me hates life just a little more than I already do.
