ahaha that's so shit
list
Poor article
poor choices, surely they should've looked for the bands with the most ridiculous hipster qualities (style, name & sound) as opposed to bands embraced by Hipsters... that'd be a fun article. As it is it's just a list debunking lots of obscure guitar bands.
*shrugs*
Hmmm
Some of those bands are ace - Grizzly Bear, Interpol and Bright Eyes.
Also you have some strange choices - Stone Roses ?? Reverend and the Makers ??? The Enemy ?!?!
I agree with Aerial Pink's BUT you should have included The Dirty Projectors..........
the whole thing is just a fucking troll
to generate views. most of the bands they are slagging they admit to praising elsewhere on their site.
I'm starting to wonder if the backlash against hipsters
is our generation's disco sucks sort of movement.
Not that I don't find the fashiony hipsters completely ridiculous but dunno if it's that far away from lager swilling fratboys who listen to brostep sneering at music they deem more effeminate.
Also obvious troll is obvious, though the MGMT attack did annoy me cos not a target really anymore and that second album is way better than the ultimately pretty shallow first album
I can see truth in this
Also the fact that the word, along with "pretentious", seems now to used largely to refer derisively to people who happen to like things.
this was a lot less funny that i thought it might be
So weak, every one of those bands are way too big to be considered hipster
I always thought The Airborne Toxic Event were named after farts
you can't say someone has good taste merely by what they piss on
Haha
Twerp
Some of those bands I really like
Some of those bands I really don't like
Some idiot is trying to think he's funny
Other idiots are getting too worked up over it
The world spins
bait!
traffic generating bollox
I'm actually quite impressed by this
Quite a lot of bland indie sacred-cows killed in this list. Writer tries a bit too hard, but a lot of good shots there.

yeah but they are all just big indie bands, unless hipster now just means any indie band then they have massively missed the mark, surely if hipster is going to be used as a criticism it should be applied to stuff that has little merit and is just championed for obscurity/newness
The Airborne Toxic Event
good tagging.
yeah, I'm not even going to read this. I mean, I will, but officially I'm going to disregard it totally.
oh right, they're on the list
I just thought...the guy's username...nevermind.
This is really badly written
It offers nothing, you don't even define what you mean by hipster. It isn't funny or interesting, it doesn't offer any insight or point of view. I can't believe how many people it took to write this, and how many comments it attracted. All those bands have infinite more value than you
The girl in Beach House looks a bit like icwar.
* fiiiiine
from what i understand hipster to mean
yeah i'd say they pretty much got all the bands that i'd consider hipster in there. Except polica. They needed to include polica.
They've got it all wrong
The most hipster band is The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Dumb list, but glad they included Pomplamoose
Those fuckers are worse than the Holocaust
Whoa, didnt mean to this this
Holocaust reference, classy.
Oh please
You don't even need to be offended by it
It's just a very poor/overused insult.
^
Too soon.
Isn't it just 20 writers
...
writing about the 'emperor's new colthes' bands they dislike? Why does that justify a whole article?
yeah
hatred for those multiclick list bullshit articles.
Mummy, what's a hipster?
7 pages?!
PAGINATION MUST DIE!
have you ever tried to browse photos on this site?
A lot of these are just mainstream indie bands.
How is that hipster? The Black Keys headlined Coachella for fucks sake.
Beach Trip-Hop
A wash of down-tuned Baltimore neo-soul, it's trip-hop for people who never knew Massive Attack and post-rock for those who missed Stereolab; in other words, derivative electro mush. The band's moniker is also misleading. As Linda Richman might say, they're neither about beaches nor house music.
http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2012/08/worst_hipster_bands_all_time_c.php?page=4
Wow.
A list of 20 bands most of which no self discerning (haha) Hipster would be caught dead listening to on his vintage 1986 Walkman. Death Cab for Cutie?! Arcade Fire?! Bon Fucking Iver?!
Quick Hint: if it's won a Grammy, it ain't Hipster.
These people have no fucking idea what they're writing about. I don't even know why the article exists. I don't even...
calm down, hipster
oh-HOH
I see what you did there.
bit of a try hard article
Did anyone check out their 20 Worst Bands article?
