Hipness does wear off.
Values and beliefs tend to endure.
Given the current disgusting state of “hip” American culture, I invariably go screaming off in the opposite direction.
By today’s standards of hipness, I strive to be as “square” as possible.
or, Times change, Values don’t.
“So you became part of the new breed.
Been smoking only the best weed.
Hanging out with so-called hippest set.
Been seen in all the right places,
Seen with just the right faces.
You should be satisfied,
But still it ain’t quite right.
What is hip? Tell me tell me if you think you know.
What is hip? And if you’re really hip.
The passing years would show,
That you into a hip trip, maybe hipper than hip.
What is hip?” - Tower of Power
I don’t Capt. Sullenberger is all that “hip” but he is the guy I’d want flying my plane. 0bama may be “hip” but he’s also crashing our country.
You said it all, friend...
