is he hip? perhaps his song could be something by elvis costayo?

I think you'll find that was Huey Lewis and the News, Dave

[little dave hedgehog]

no, those guys were square. weren't you ****ing listening?

[Rowan]

To Fore? Loads of times! It's one of the greatest albums ever released!

[little dave hedgehog]

i had it on vinyl. but thinking they were anything but square is a rookie mistake. the hip part was extremely hopeful.

[Rowan]

You do know that it's actually hip to be square, char? So if you're square you are therefore also hip. Easy!

Two problems:

Argument 1: Definitional

Definition of square = not hip

If we accept the premise that:

hip = square (it's hip to be square)

Yet:

square = not hip

Then, by substitution:

hip = not hip

Oxymoron

QED


Argument 2: False premise

The conjecture rests on the premise:

hip = square (it's hip to be square)

But it isn't.

Does the accuracy of the degree that it's hip to be square not depend on the position of these observing a specific sub-culture though? If we assume that both being hip and being square are fairly fluid in terms of style at least then it's entirely possible that at some juncture a style of dress, speech or taste that had personally been considered by many as square could be observed at a later time by a alternative group as being hip? Or would that require the observer to recognise that a trend had therefore been square at a previous point and therefore, having been square in the past, was now impossible to be recogised as anything other than square?

I suppose you would require your sub-culture to replicate exactly the style that had previously been considered square too as otherwise it might not be hip to be square but merely hip to be quite similar to something that was previously considered square (but not quite the same) which would make the similarity quite hip but the extinct style would still in actuallity be square.

Hmmmmmmmm. What was Huey Lewis thinking?
