Originally posted by -FSP- I thought the general stereotype of a hipster was having advanced degrees in the humanities. As for the support of hipster ideals, I thought they are associated with nihilism (though a lot of hipsters seem to be too cynical to use it as a positive word the way Nietzsche used it), and the whole postmodern thingermajig. Also, I edited my post. I added the following to my previous post:

Nietzsche was NOT a nihilist:
nihilists think there IS no meaning. He said traditional values are useless to some people, who should be defining their own...

Nietzsche was actually a supreme positivist, giving individuals capable of it the ability to entirely take control of their own lives, but he's constantly misunderstood as a negativist... Sartre and other people who claim to support free will are far more nihilistic than Nietzsche.

see lira, always happens

Did you not see me write "use it as a positive word...?"

Because what you typed is exactly what I meant by that. thats how he would have used it.

but it's my fault for not being clear in this whole thread. i'm getting ripped. bleh.

Damned wankers, who brought Nietzsche into a hipster hate thread, ffs!?
Especially since you seem to have no clue whatsoever about Nietzsche. Here are some more relavant quotes by him, that everyone missed:

"I tell you: one must have coke within oneself, to give birth to a minimal track."

"Dead are all gods: now we want Richie Hawtin to live."

"And when you listen long to minimal, minimal also listens to you."

"Trance is dead! Trance remains dead! And Ferry Corsten has killed it."

""When thou goest to clubs, take thy scarf."

Exactly.

Existentialism does not equal Nihilism.

How fucking hard is this.
