I feel like I\u2019ve spent considerably more time that I have ever wanted to (read: none) writing about customers not liking hip hop in cafes. After putting pen to pad for multiple stories about two Joe Van Gogh baristas being fired<\/a> from the Duke University location over a song that offended one particular member in line\u2014as well as the subsequent withdrawal of JVG<\/a> from the Duke campus\u2014I figured that would be the end of it. But here we are again.<\/p>\n On a recent afternoon in Portland, Oregon, a customer came into the brand new (and very beautiful)\u00a0Either\/Or<\/a>\u00a0cafe of N. Williams to find some 4:00pm-ish hip hop playing on the stereo.\u00a0They were not fond of it.<\/strong> But instead of firing anyone, Either\/Or has swung in the opposite direction: 4:00pm is now hip hop hour.<\/p>\n According to a screenshot of a comment left on a Square receipt by \u201cChristopher\u201d (as the post calls him), the problem was not that the music was offensive, just that he doesn\u2019t like it: \u201cthe problem with hiphop [sic] (or whatever this stuff was at 4pmish [sic]) is that if you don\u2019t like it, it\u2019s like repetitive, stupid noise.\u201d Because of this, Christopher is unlikely to return.<\/p>\n In honor of Christopher’s considered commentary, the ownership at Either\/Or has decided to make the four o\u2019clock hour of each weekday \u201cHip Hop Hour.\u201d From their Facebook post<\/a>:<\/p>\n Either \/ Or also included links to articles explaining the cultural significance of the art form.

Something that often helps us when we encounter an idea, taste, or sound that is unfamiliar to us is to educate ourselves about the subject at hand. We at Either\/Or wanted to help you on your journey so we did a bit of research about Hip Hop as a musical form with a rich historical context.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
