How to Speak Hip
It must be borne in mind at all times that Hip is not just a language but an attitude -- indeed, a whole culture unto itself. If some of the definitions in the dictionary seem inadequate or puzzling to you please remember that the true hipster has the Taoists aversion to pinning down the changing world. The define something completely is to embalm it intellectually. Subtlety of perception is hip -- as when a jazz musician blows a particularly "wild" chord change and the hipster voices his appreciation by laughing quietly or murmuring "Oh, yeah!" But it is hipper to "dig" the change and forget it to do a post mortem analysis of "just what happened there, musicwise".
