Discover the story of the song > What Is Hip? – Tower Of Power

The song is about someone trying to be cool and fit in by figuring out what is considered "hip", but they're not entirely sure what that means. They change their appearance, hang out with certain people, and even seek guidance from a guru to try to find it. However, they realize that what is considered cool can quickly become out of style, so it's hard to keep up. The song repeats the question "What is hip?" several times, emphasizing the difficulty of finding a clear answer.
