Hepcats (and Hipsters) - Pre-Nuclear Cool | Subculture Shock
The hepcats, a subculture that would birth the hipster of the 1940s, were a group associated with jazz, zoot suits, and jive talking. Their influence would be felt over the course of the two decades following the Harlem Renaissance, and holding as a mainstay of the emulation and cultural diffusion of minority groups into American popular culture. So much so that you can't talk about one without bringing the other along like they're a package deal. So is there anything wrong with people loving jazz aside from giving an asthmatic kid a trombone and asking him to play Glenn Miller for three hours? You'll just have to find out in this episode of Subculture Shock.

Beginning with musicians in the early Swing Era of the 1930s, the term "Gate" was used to describe those who dug that music. They would address each other as Gate. (listen to Stuff Smith's records) "Don't be late, Gate." I would posit that this evolved through alliteration into "Gator." Later Gator, as a goodbye, and with people who grew up in the 1940s like Bill Haley. "See you later, Alligator."
I will watch this when Ill have stamina to follow your fast talking and poor sound mixing because the topic is cool and pics awesome.

Thanks for your feedback! Good to hear you are really itching to watch a video from a microchannel about jazz culture from a near-century ago KZread has features for you to watch these videos muted with subtitles or play at a reduced speed; you can also skip everything up until after the title sequence (around 1:45 give or take) if loud noises aren't your thing :) - A redneck with livestock auctioneer training and some graduate-level education *Regular audio guy is on vacation til the 19th; he probably won't come back out of spite now (verdammte Deutsche).
