| How To Be A Transgendered Hipster Audiophile
by prllels
dnt gve a fuk | | 1 |  | Against Me!
Transgender Dysphoria Blues
Have a crippling gender dysphoria that causes you to hate yourself and life to the point that you are on the verge of suicide if you don't transition, and you end up losing your lover if applicable, all your friends (keeping only the ones that only just tolerate you), your male privilege, and any future job and home security and using all your money just to maintain your new gender. And then you still have to actually pass as a woman lookswise irl to not be treated like the worst scum of the earth.
All the while we drown our depression with music. | | 2 |  | Viet Cong

Listen to music at almost every waking moment and keep your music at the utmost quality. Spend a lot of time on Sputnikmusic or another forum? Mellow out in your music and spend a fair amount of time archiving and molding that shit into the best flac library ever. But no vinyls, trans are too modern for vinyl players and we have enough on our plate to go through with the expense and trouble of vinyl mediums. | | 3 |  | Pearl Jam

Cry to your music past the age of 21. Some things just get to you, like that line from The Gaslight Anthem's Great Expectations where he says "Everybody leaves and why, why wouldn't you?" and music will hit you too hard b/c muh trans troubles and passing is difficult if you already went through your first puberty and have a 90% chance of being fucked genetically. | | 4 |  | My Bloody Valentine
Isn't Anything
Wear the right shit for your age. Half of this is about self-respect, and any well-to-do off person will tell you that how you dress is how you respect yourself. | | 5 |  | Arcade Fire
Reflektor
Like songs and know the bands that have publicly respectable songs that are LGBT themed so you can appeal to your fellow prides and connect with other music ppls. Some notable songs to get you started are Paralytic States by Against Me!, We Exist by Arcade Fire, Transgender by Crystal Castles, and Taste in Men by Placebo | | 6 |  | Grimes
Halfaxa
80's aesthetically sounding indie pop that your high school friends would have said is boring is perfect for hipster status. Proclaim how it is something you can be yourself and chill to, smoke to, and most importantly browse dank memes to. This is the hipster-est part of your look so build it carefully. If it's not in the database yet on Sputnikmusic or you are one of the few listeners on Last.fm then you definitely on the right track. Here's a few goodies: Night Things' Sleeping Beauty, Craft Spells' Idle Labor, Washed Out's Life of Leisure, and A Sunny Day in Glasgow's Sea When Absent | | 7 |  | Aphex Twin
Selected Ambient Works 85-92
At minimum enjoy some form of electronic or industrial music. This not only gives you the appearance of a styled listener but someone who takes great pride in making sure they don't listen to dad rock and actually play music through something qualitative rather than iPod stock headphones or Sony Xplodes. Common choices are Grimes, Aphex Twin, Massive Attack, Purity Ring and Nine Inch Nails | | 8 |  | mewithoutYou
A to B: Life
Have a small yet prominent amount of more aggressive music to make yourself appear edgy. Have a couple newer prog metal albums of Isis and Opeth, some death metal like Death, or some self respecting post-hardcore like mewithoutYou. Without this crucial step you may risk looking ridiculous like SeaAnenome or worse, the mindfuck of musical genres that is SowingSeason, as people will not believe you actually listen to your own music ;). The goal is to have a respectable library that users will love some and hate some equally from (like RedSkyForMiles, RIP). If your library is too easy to get along with then you aren't being aggressive enough. Someone needs to hate something in your library, be it some elitist that dosent like Between the Buried and Me or an anti-hardcore listener that never could get into the Dillenger Escape Plan because of the screams. | | 9 |  | A Sunny Day in Glasgow
Sea When Absent
Avoid the LGBT themed artists and songs across all of the genres that are fucking embarrassing and make you not only look like a flamboyant faggot but appear like one too based on your music alone. Don't be that transgirl. Avoid Scissor Sisters, Jeffree Star, Kylie Minogue, RuPaul, and shit like Adam Lambert like the plague. Obvious LGBT artists are ok to have in your library but don't overdo it because no one is going to take you or your listening habits seriously as a musically inclined person if your top 5 artists are New Order, Elton John, kd Lang, Madonna, and Queen | | 10 |  | Craft Spells
Idle Labor
Have that really weird part of your library that some will be like "omg they listen to that to?" or they will shake their head at seeing, like video game OST's to the Final Fantasy games, soundtracks from a very specific and random selection of movies, or anime music. Even obscure 80's classic hits work well for this, like Michael Sembello's Maniac, Billy Joel's I Go To Extremes, Toto's Africa, or Wang Chung's Dance Hall Days. | | 11 |  | Japandroids
Post-Nothing
Finally, make ridiculously autistic lists and rankings on Sputnikmusic until the userbase dissipates over the course of nearly half a decade, and is replaced with a newer base that (laughably) considers you to be a seasoned veteran user that commented alongside the "originals," witnessing major events such as jombombs, michaeljordan's escapades, nicer dicer, Deviant's rise to staffdom, and even witchxrapist's extreme transgender trolling b8, despite the fact that you originally joined Sputnikmusic as the 2nd plebiest user behind ReturntoRock. Spend your years of bottling your transgenderism until it explodes and you don't give any fucks about the world, and your music habits will bloom into the aforementioned hipster audiophile status. | |

05.27.15 | I wish that instead of making a list acknowledging them at all you just would ignore it. Ignore it and it will go away. Think of it as the Justin Bieber effect. People bring something up and in essence, keep it alive. This is why I fucking hate people. | Keyblade
