Help me out here. You know you're not hip anymore, when.... |
|
You get excited about going out to shop for new underwear....
You start every sentence with, "Back in my day..."
You complain incessantly about the younger generation's music....
You hear people talking about the White Stripes, and you presume thaey are talking about painting lines on a highway...
Got any of your own definitions?

13. "What is Hip?" Here ya go... |
|
Tower of Power, 1973--THIS is hip:
Lyrics for: What Is Hip? So you wanna dump out yo trick bag, Ease on into a hip bag. But you ain't just exactly sure what's hip.
So you start to let your hair grow. Spent big bucks on your wardrobe. But somehow you know there's much more to the trip.
What is hip? Tell me tell me, if you think ya know. What is hip? And if you're really hip, the passing years will show, That you into a hip trip, maybe hipper than hip. But what is hip?
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?
Hipness is what it is Sometimes hipness is what it ain't
You done went and found you a guru, In an effort to find you a new you. And maybe even managed to raise your conscience level.
As you're striving to find the right road, There's one thing you should know: What's hip today might become passe'.
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?
