So, what, hang on, you're implying that this guy doesn't know the entire genre of metal?
So, let me get this right, dressing in a 'hipster' fashion and not being able to recognise the latest Arcade Fire record is exactly the same as looking like Glenn Danzig and not knowing that an Iron Maiden song is even metal? This is the lazy, ridiculous comparison you are trying to make?
Because Arcade Fire are the exact epitome of everything that is 'indie' and it is not possible even never to have got around to hearing them? Jesus man, if I made generalisations this flaccid people would rip into me, and damn right too.
Glenn is not amused.
GRRRR.

Sometimes I think you people live in a different world. The idea of having a band, or any kind of CD playing in a coffee shop that isn't soft jazz is so unbelievably foreign to me.
To me, it just sounds like you're trying to start a bar but replacing the word "liquor" with coffee at any possible opportunity.
The last time I actually stuck around in a coffee shop to drink coffee I overheard someone use the word "Synergy" over the weak-water muzak playing and had to split.

When do you plan to be open? I'll be around down there every so often, I would stop by.

I think you're reading way too much into it.
I just thought it was an amusing story that illustrates that just because you're Hippe McHipTits working at IHIP in the middle of Hipopolis you can still be out of the loop.
a pack of wolves:
Not recognising Arcade Fire doesn't make you out of the loop. It just means you have trouble remembering boring things. I probably dress like someone who likes indie and I live in a city which is something of a hotspot for that kind of thing but I wouldn't be able to spot an Arcade Fire album if you played it to me. I've heard them before but christ, that shit was far too dull to go around remembering its exact qualities. Maybe this girl had way much taste and was far too busy listening to Blind Lemon Jefferson to bother with the Arcade Fire's latest bit of drab nonsense before then.
