I found that def 7 on Urban Dictionary Is pretty good, and 2 is just funny.  The rest is dross.

Quote from: Urban Dictionary
1. hipster

people in thier teens to 20s who generally listen to indie rock, hang out in coffee shops, shop at the thrift store and talk about things like books, music, films and art.

Back in my day, we called those "college students".

Marty Friedman gave me J Pop as a guilty pleasure.

I typically enjoy their songs the first few times I hear them, but for some reason I get sick of them incredibly quickly.  They're like those Popcorn Chicken things at KFC.  The first few bites are incredible, but by the time you get to the bottom of the box I'm ready to swear them off for a year.

That's it! You have perfectly described my relationship with a good number of the bands I have heard.

YES.

We should also do something about "indie."  Maybe it changes to something totally irrelevant.  Like Belgium.

I take offense to that.

I would hang out with and/or date those girls.  I think this is where our mutual deconstruction of sheeple splits paths.

For the record, Muse make superhereo music.

I once ate a whole box of superhereos.

I like Muse. They were my favourite band for a long time.

I guess only having two posts doesn't really give this much credence.

I will say this: They have the most irritating fans on earth. The only worse ones I can think of are Radiohead fans.

Cant we just be friends?

Muse fans WISH they were as annoying as Radiohead fans.

I'd like to think I grew out of Muse. Own some albums, saw them at Earl Court's - good show. But now, I don't really find them that interesting.

I fully agree on Muse fans (and Radiohead fans, but don't get me started...): I went to school with a bunch, and they would not shut up. You'd think no one had ever played the guitar before Muse guy.

Muse is my favorite band... I'm sorry.
I'm considering this as a new sig quote.

And, I've hated Pitchfork ever since they claimed that Billy Corgan's voice was as "unbearable as most Led Zeppelin cover bands."

To be honest, Billy Corgan is unbearable when goes off on his whole super-fantastik gothlectro stadium rock tangent. That said, Zeitgeist is his best album in a long time.

Of all pictures for Khar to post, it had to be one where somebody is wearing stunna shades with the wrong outfit. What the hell man.

You're welcome for the necropost.

I still stand by hipsterdom as a viable way of life... fashion sense... whatever it is you all hate about it...  Fun maybe?

And Pitchfork is as good as any many online music websites.  But if you arent smart enough to sift the bullshit, then maybe get off the internet?

And as far as whoever was hating on Tapes 'n Tapes as a product of the imagination of Pitchfork(this whole even could have taken place on some blog or review on some random website, but on the off chance its one of you...), Id have to say, way turned me on to them was a Spin Magazine round up of SXSW before spin turned into a Blender Clone.  And I stand solidly by them on their first album, with Insistor probably being one of the top songs of the year.

"Anti-hipster sentiment often comes from people who simply can't keep up with social change and are envious of those who can."

So that's what my problem is...
