Not so long ago, if you called yourself hip, you were shouting from the rooftops that you were not hip. It was down to others to call you hip, or cool. In the early 60s, the beat poets, junkies, hustlers and writers would die rather than tarnish their credibility with this kind of label. The down grading of the word is sad. Loosehead
