What Is Hip?
Tower Of Power
(Nostalgia · Jun 2026)
People who grew up in the seventies or absorbed that era's spirit connect deeply with 'What Is Hip?'—those who recognize cool as something authentic and unpretentious. The song captures that pivotal moment when listeners realized that true style comes from confidence and individuality, not from following trends. They return to it whenever they need a reminder that being real beats being fashionable, and for the infectious rush of freedom it delivers.
Energy hits you first, and it immediately pulls you back to a time when you felt more alive and carefree. That rush opens up a door to pure joy—suddenly you're remembering moments when everything felt possible and the world seemed brighter. It's the kind of song that doesn't let you sit still.
You return to this song when you need to shake off the weight of everyday life and remember what it felt like to have fun without overthinking it. It's there for those moments when you're driving with the windows down, or when you need a quick jolt of optimism to get through the day. It reminds you that some feelings never really leave—they just wait for the right song to bring them back.
Tower of Power crafted a song that dissects coolness as a philosophical concept, yet listeners embraced it as a time machine—the groove became less about understanding hip and more about *feeling* like they belonged to a moment when funk reigned. The artist's intellectual curiosity about style transformed into pure emotional recall, proving that sometimes the most cerebral songs become our most personal memories.
