Hipsters/ people who read the Wire/ ILXors, aren't they all into black metal these days?

I think that's kind of dying out as the genre does.

― ProAm Chomsky (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Wednesday, 27 March 2013 11:28 (thirteen years ago)

I was listening to black metal in2008 or so, and I'm not remotely hip, so I figure the hipsters et al probably reached their black metal peak around 2004.

Misread the title as "how do I pass a black metal fan"

― Raymond Cummings, Wednesday, 27 March 2013 12:25 (thirteen years ago)

Sunn O))) is pretty hip and Wire-friendly but I don't think it is black metal exactly

yeah heard sunn0 in am appy t'other day and was wondering if the person that put it on was a hipster, wire reader or ilxor

― Crackle Box, Wednesday, 27 March 2013 12:39 (thirteen years ago)

at what point did grind core and black metal become the hipster music du jour?

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 27 March 2013 12:39 (thirteen years ago)

2003 or so.

― Call the Cops, Wednesday, 27 March 2013 13:03 (thirteen years ago)

i honestly don't remember seeing any hipsters at black metal shows in 2003 or 2004, unless they just bought the records and never checked out the music.

― Spectrum, Wednesday, 27 March 2013 13:18 (thirteen years ago)

It was dark, you couldn't see them.

― my father will guide me up the stairs to bed (anagram), Wednesday, 27 March 2013 13:24 (thirteen years ago)

right.

― Spectrum, Wednesday, 27 March 2013 13:26 (thirteen years ago)

It was later than 2003/2004 that the Wire started showing an interest in it

― Step not on a loose unforgiving stone on a pyramid to paradise (Tom D.), Wednesday, 27 March 2013 15:40 (thirteen years ago)

It was in Vice Magazine by 2003 or so. The book of photography that came out around that time was a key enabler too. And the repress of that prick Moynihan's book.

Wire journalists had their ears open too but I don't recall seeing anything there until 2005, when they did a hopelessly ill-informed primer on "subterranean metal". Edwin Pouncey started hanging around with Stephen O'Malley.
