The Rules With Hip Music

The Rules With Hip Music are:

1. make sure any music you like or say you like is as obscure as possible.
this means no one or almost no one has heard of it

2. if someone has heard of it just make sure you were the one that heard it first

3. anything on the indie rock - electronic spectrum is fine. just don't get all cocky and think that you can make screamo cool cause you can't. rap is pretty hip too right now.

its generally a good idea to just have a fuckload.
that way you seem like you like music
and are some kind of artist
thats hip.

also if the musicians themselves are super hip it does give you a heads up.

e.g




Crystal Castles and The XX.

But don't think you can get nifty and use these guys. They aren't hip anymore because everyone's heard of them. You should go along and hate that your favourite underground band is now mainstream. Because being a twat is cool.
