Seen 2 movies from when I was a kid .
2010: The Year We Make Contact. I still love that movie!! It tied up most of the loose ends from 2001 and still gives you a sense of wonder 30 years after its making.
Crossroads: Always loved this movie, even though The Karate Kid was the main character.
There was always a weird ending to it, and I recently found out why.Spoiler ALERT!!
"Lightning Boy" wanted to be a blues man, but played a classical piece to defeat Jack Butler and the devil. Why? From IMDB trivia: ""Eugene's Trick Bag", the updated classical piece at the film's climax, is largely based on Niccolò Paganini's Caprice #5. According to myth, Paganini, sold his soul to the devil for his musical skills. Steve Vai replicates Paganini's legendary rolling eyes, long unkempt hair, and gaunt look."
The song was even said to be an ode to the devil because of its speed, precision, and needing unusually large hands to play the piece, even in today's standards.
Here's a video of the piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amfCqFUMBkY

@RojoLoco I really need to just get to Luke Cage. It's been sitting in my queue since its release.
It's a toss-up between Luke Cage and Jessica Jones as to which is my fave... but they are intertwined stories. And Method Man makes a cool cameo in LC.

Jessica Jones has a slight advantage to me. The villain in her show is just perfect.

She is one of my favorite Marvel characters for sure. Because Daredevil is kind of a weenie.

I enjoyed the show overall, but I think he's a bit of a weak "hero". But the sound design in that show was top notch... they really did a great job of simulating the way someone like that would hear things. Made me glad I invested in a decent surround system.

I liked Jessica Jones but I don't like Krysten Ritter. She just gets on my nerves for some reason

The sound and set designs were phenomenal... and I don't have any background in it. The story, while good in the first season, wasn't up to the same quality of Jessica Jones or Luke Cage.

Eh, It is hard to take her seriously after Bin23 and Breaking Bad. But I think she was a really good casting for the position she plays the damaged character perfectly.

Agreed. I felt like I finished the show only to fill in the story overlaps amongst the Hell's Kitchen based heroes. And I liked the Punisher angle, his story is better.

Did you see her in those jeans tho? Dayum. I've never seen her in anything else, but I thought she was a good pick for JJ.

I haven't watched the second season of Dare Devil yet. I always liked the Punisher and really wish they had cast Thomas Jane, he was a really good Punisher, even if the movie sucked.

Love Tom Jane but I still think Jon Bernthal nailed it. Oddly enough Jon is married to my friends cousin

Someone posted on imgur that The Adventures of Pete & Pete started hipster culture. I can't think of anything more hipster earlier than it so maybe this dude is right?

I watched it a lot when I was younger. It's a great show but I also watched it back before I knew what a hipster was. They did a lot in that show with an extremely low budget

I assure you that hipsters existed long before that show. I'm sure whomever wrote the article you saw is young enough to actually believe that was the first hipster show.... not the first, but I sure wanted to see both those kids beaten and dropped off a bridge holding a large rock, so they were definitely hipsters.

It wasn't a movement like it is today though. What started all of this?
