A friend recently told me that Hip Hop is dead. When I disagreed and said, “what about groups like Spank Rock?” he claimed that they’re not hip hop, they’re “hipster jump off” or “hipster get up” a genre which I’d never heard of.  

Is hip hop dead?  Is there such a thing as “hipster get up” music? Are genres in general dying?
