    hip to be square.

    Oh You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too New Wave for my taste, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to Be Square," a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

    Is Snoopy Snoopy Dog Dog still hip with the urchins?

    American Psycho?

    If so you are both hip and cool - if not, you're a rich pyschotic serial killer.

    Its cool to be a hipster and anti establishment now a days. Ironically they have become what they are so against.

    As a young person, I know that in order to be cool these days you have to constantly like those photos with the caption "1 like = 1 prayer" on Facebook or else you are a complete heartless nobody. You must also wear bold colour high-top shoes with the tongue sticking out over your jeans. These are the RULES.

    I'm ok with being a complete heartless nobody.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 378 ✭✭cade


    Who the hell even uses the word 'hip' these days. That term is just as dead as 'Trendy' or 'Snazzy'.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kraggy


    I'm a very specific kind of hip. It's too obscure. You wouldn't know it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin

    hip to be square.

    I cant listen to this song without wanting to explain all about Huey Lewis, put on a rainmack and kill somebody with an axe......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,848 ✭✭✭Andy-Pandy


    If you are trying to be cool then you have already failed.

    I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you too!
