06.11.15 | The fact that you are using the term "Hipster Black Metal" is horrifying. Even worse is that you are using it to describe this set of albums |
Valkyrion
06.11.15 | "hipster black metal"
>These are bands that often get lumped together for their usage of black metal with other music such as post rock, shoegaze, ambient, occasional folk, occasional indie, and sometimes post-hardcore
so..... post-black metal? |
Hawks
06.11.15 | Agreed with CK hard. |
MO
06.11.15 | so....shit metal agreed |
BigHans
06.11.15 | I think Hawks just had a stroke |
Balerion
06.11.15 | please promise me you won't ever use the words "hipster" and "black metal" in the same sentence ever again. But when I get home I will give you tons of recs :) |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | @Valkyrion: Yeah, you could call it that too, but I always used that term the same way post-hardcore, post-punk, post-(fill in the blank) are used. |
luci
06.11.15 | you forgot the best one. Sunbather. |
CK
06.11.15 | Thrice just became hipster-hardcore and Joy Division just became hipster-punk |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | Alas, I have a couple folks here who misunderstand why I use the term "hipster black metal". It's not because I sincerely believe that's the proper label for it; it's because it's becoming a common slang term for these bands and many bands alike and by using the title in a list that doesn't bash the music, I can open up others to it. I never once claimed that "hipster black metal" is a term I find all that acceptable, and I don't know how anyone can get that from the description. This comment isn't just for people who have commented, it's for anyone who might comment wrongly. |
CK
06.11.15 | "it's becoming a common slang term for these bands"
Not once in my life have I seen or heard anyone refer to any of these bands as hipster anything |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | @Lucid: I'll be sure to check them out. |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | Excuse me, mister CK, have you been keeping up with metal news at all? I assure you, it is being used. There's a whole youtube channel dedicated to it. |
Hawks
06.11.15 | Agreed hard with CK once again. |
CK
06.11.15 | Funny cuz Sunbather I have actually heard referred to as hipster before lol
I think a better way to put it would be un-traditional black metal or like Valk said post-black metal, terms which I personally find just as annoying but slightly more accurate |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | Hey, Hawks, how did that stroke go? o.O |
Hawks
06.11.15 | It was pretty m/. |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | Annoying term? Yeah, I agree. A term nonetheless? Sadly, yeah. |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | I hope you recovered well from it v_v |
BigHans
06.11.15 | Hawks is fine, he just burned his 3rd church today. |

LordWretch
06.11.15 | The edginess is making me moist. Thou shall follow in the footsteps of Varg! Seriously though, I'm just joshin', I love everyone... okay I don't |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | Wasn't really expecting comments this fast, haha |
Hawks
06.11.15 | You got people all outta whack with the hipster bm thing.... |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | I understand, and I was EXTREMELY out of whack when I first heard the term (still am a little bit), but sadly it's sticking. You'll find it in the context of Liturgy and Deafheaven most of the time, but I guess anyone who wants to break the bland mold of black metal is up for being "hipster" by the standards people are holding to this new wave of music. |
owen
06.11.15 | basically everything that makes corpsepainters shout untrve |
beefshoes
06.11.15 | lamest list ever |
youvegotredonyou
06.11.15 | Not surprising considering that the black metal community is essentially composed of narrow minded bigots. |
Snake.

06.11.15 | Don't forget "Dimensional Bleedthrough" and "Hubardo". I love 'em |
CK
06.11.15 | So lemme rec you an album.
Sun Devoured Earth - Good Memories are the Hardest to Keep
I honestly pirated it. I don't usually do that, but there is absolutely no other fucking way to find the original version of this. The new, more common, not-as-good version is essentially the same style of music but a bunch of the music was cut out like wtf dude |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | I actually thoroughly enjoy Sun Devoured Earth. |
CK
06.11.15 | Sick brah. Mad respect for you m/ |
BandNewbac
06.11.15 | wow |
SharkTooth
06.11.15 | Kinda funny that you make a list dedicated to "hipster black metal" yet you don't include the poster-child of this(Sunbather) in your list |
dbizzles
06.11.15 | 5 and 4 are good- haven't heard the rest. |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | @SharkTooth: I actually just figured out about sunbather today :p |
Gestapo
06.11.15 | fucking how

LordWretch
06.11.15 | Is that a problem? -.- |
SgtShock
06.11.15 | Heretoir's has some good moments. I love the album artwork, as tim burton-y as it is. |
Tunaboy45
06.11.15 | Sunbather is the ultimate in HBM |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | I know Deafheaven have an album named "Sunbather" (not really my thing) |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | Am I retarded? We were talking about that album, right? |
feanaro
06.11.15 | ignoring everything else that is dumb about this, why heretoir..... |
LordWretch
06.11.15 | Because Heretoir is sexy |
dbizzles
06.11.15 | Dopamine owns so far. |

06.11.15 | Haven't listened to that Liturgy album yet, but if I like it more then I'll add it to the list instead of Aesthethica |
dbizzles
06.11.15 | HBM got me into BM; no shame here. |
Hawks
06.11.15 | Liturgy is god awful. |
NLD
06.11.15 | When I hear hipster black metal I think of something like Kvelertak before I think of these |
puntugruhm
06.11.15 | 7 sucks so hard |
Royl123
06.12.15 | At least this is better than "unblack metal" |
Hawks
06.12.15 | Haven't heard 7.... Then again I have no desire to because the album before that is horrible so yeah. |
trvvve
06.12.15 | at least everything on this list is better than sunbather |
Inferis
06.12.15 | Liturgy is literal garbage |
