Being a hippy means living against the social norm. Hip-hop is a way of life. It is, however just one form of subculture. Sociology describes subculture as a cultural pattern different from the majority (Macionis, 2003). Hippies may be treated as outcasts in a polite or normal society.
The eighties gave birth to hip-hop. As Jennifer Lopez once sang, hip-hop is “from the Bronx.” Bronx is the place in New York City wherein hipsters hang out. Its golden age came in the late part of the nineties. Now, in the new millennium, hip-hop is a flourishing culture with a growing economy and support.
Hip-hop has claimed success in music as well as in wrestling. The World Wrestling Entertainment has chosen a John Cena to become a household name. Cena lives hip-hop as a lifestyle. He has a doctor’s degree in “Thuganomics.” His weapons are the brass “knucks” and the lock and chain. They are truly weapons of a hip-hop gangster or thug.
John Cena won his first championship when he defeated the seven foot, five hundred pound giant Big Show. It was a David versus Goliath story. Remarkably subduing the Big Show, Cena became the U.S. “champ.”
Aside from the United States title that the doctor claims nobody knows the meaning of, he has also battle-rapped half of the Smack Down roster. A battle rap is like a debate. Each person is given time to say something to his adversary. The content of his speech is usually degrading to the addressed. As rhetoric is to debate, the battle rap uses rap as a medium.
John Cena’s championship gave birth to the famous utterance “The U.S. champ is here.” His language was criticized by Michael Cole, a Smack Down announcer. Cole identified it as inappropriate for television. His huge wrestler partner, Tazz, told him to speak for himself. Some people think that hip-hop is immoral because it violates tradition.
Hip-hop lingo can be very interesting. Its being eccentric makes it a language for a new generation. Hip-hop uses slang words. However, there are words that are completely its own. Some words can be confusing to some people because hipsters use the meaning of these words as antonyms.
Let us learn some “H” words. Taking note of what we have learned about the characteristics of words, try to deduce the meanings of the following words of description: fat, down. Have figured out the meanings? The “H fat” is an adjective meaning “sexy”. “Down” in the English language denotes failure or sadness. In “H” terms, it means, “cool.”
How do hipsters call each other? John Cena, as well as most hipsters call themselves the “franchise.” This is especially true to those successful ones. Behind a great man is a woman. Hipsters call their sweethearts “boo.” Do you remember this line from the song “Shut Up?” “I love you boo. I love you too.”
Hipsters use a vivid and controversial description of things. Dialogues from their discourse are “stuff” from pop culture. What is fresh is included in their universe of discourse. John Cena creatively includes controversy in his intimidating talks. The wrestler delivered a message to the furry, bald, fat A-Train. It went like this. “A-Train, you’re no train, you’s a baby carriage. I’m gonna bust you faster than Britney Spear’s marriage.” How degrading was the first sentence! There is no insult greater than being called an ignorant, weak kid. The second shows Cena’s knowledge for current events. When the speech was delivered, the news featured the pop star reportedly being married for twenty-four hours.
Truly, hipsters are the poets of the new era. Creatively crafting literature and music utilizing their own style, they live in controversy. They have contributed much to the world. In a world once dominated by tradition, mysticism and romanticism, they are strongholds for rationalism and realism.
