    Was it ever hip to like Billy Joel? I’ve always gotten flak from people for liking his music.

    I’m almost 57 years old: I pretty much assume that if I like it or it’s my favorite—no matter what it is—it can’t possibly be hip.

    He was kinda the Three Dog Night of his time. i.e. popular but the critics complained.

    He's my favorite singer to Karaoke. :)

    I think some stuff is just thought of as "hip" eternally. i.e. Cream, The Byrds, Jeferson airplane/starship, etc.

    I was a huge fan. I absolutely love the arrangements. Then she got political and I unliked all the stuff I'd been streaming on Amazon and Pandora.

    That was country in the days when if it had drums, it wasn't country.

    Glen Campbell. Certainly wasn't considered hip back in the day, but has gained a ton of appreciation from many besides me as time has passed.

    My music of choice has never been about being hip, not even in my teens in the 90s when I preferred to listen to current music by "rock grandpas", as artists that started out in the now so-called classic rock era were dubbed then. Hipness or coolness has always been a mere coincidence. I didn't care and still don't.
