what the hell is proto backpacker core

It's only buzz words anon, you should ignore posters like that

i think backpacker-core is music for people who "backpack" or travel to cultures that are not their own
maybe he's saying ATCQ is music for white people who want to feel black (not true, by the way)

ok

Backpackers are people who only listen to underground and conscious hip-hop and are snobby about their tastes. "This is REAL hip-hop, not that [popular meme artist] shit!"

They're saying ATCQ was backpack rap before backpack rap was a thing (hence the proto-)

what's a good meme artist

Fans of "conscious" or underground rap often wore backpacks in the mid-90s and beyond
ATCQ are an early manifestation of this style of music

>>73098637
Meme artists don't exist, it's a term used to either denigrate unconventional artists, to elevate mediocre or shitty artists, or just as a general snarl word

Notice how image-obsessed these explanations are. Buzz words indeed.

Technically all artists who are discussed are meme artists. If they're an outsider artist whose work is unnoticed for eternity then they aren't a meme artist cause they contributed nothing to the meme pool. But everyone from Bach to GG Allin is a meme artist.

I just meant someone who is currently trendy that they would turn their nose up. The term "backpacker" is used the same way as "hipster"

AHHHHHH IT'S MY THREAD!
I FEEL FAMOUS!!!!!

btw, it's just buzzwords for people who flame people who listen to things that aren't even obscure

>>73099054
Well exactly, they're treated as bold and exciting rarities by their fans when they're kinda stodgy canon cornerstones at this point

>>73099104
perhaps I worded that incorrectly

I'm saying that it's a buzzword for people who think that groups like ATCQ is underground and use that to call people who listen to them hipsters

I don't think anyone thinks that ATCQ is underground
