how i picture most males of netphoria

[Trotskilicious]

seriously who really cares about syria or the ukraine to be perfectly honest, americans that pretend to "care" about it are much more obnoxious than wasted youth that don't give a shit. at least they're honest

when i see you over there in Kiev with pussy riot then we can talk about "caring about the ukraine"

there's some good tracks off boxer i guess, overrated as fuck in general

you already know i hate the shit out of vampire weekend

[Trotskilicious]

i dunno if i ever said that anyway, i think i probably said something like "they sound like leonard cohen if he had a lobotomy and was born in norway"

[Catherine Wheel]

Vampire Weekend are like the exact opposite of everything hipster. They are the anti-Nirvana. They are unapologetically pop sounding.

[Trotskilicious]

another example of how hipster seems to mean nothing since it's always the person you're not

i mean do you need something other than Pitchfork Album of the Year to certify triple platinum hipster status, catherine wheel?

[Catherine Wheel]

I thought V.W. was a weird choice for Pitchfork's album of the year since a lot of it sounds like soft rock and AOR stuff from the 80s.

[Trotskilicious]

before i started skipping through the list i already knew it was going to be VW, i mean only because you are you would you not completely see that coming from a mile away

[Trotskilicious]

i mean wasn't contra their AotY the year it came out

[Trotskilicious]

no that was kanye's MBDTF and then 3 was deerhunter halcyon digest oh whells ONOEZ I AM HAPSTAR FOR LIEKING THANGZZ

contra was 6 though

[Catherine Wheel]

Well by that I just mean to say that it doesn't seem to belong on that list. It sticks out. Not that I didn't see it coming. I know Pitchfork has a love affair with V.W.

[Trotskilicious]

at this point i dare you to make less sense

also i'm going to bed

looking forward to kreator throwing a couple smileys at me and charmbag to tell me i'm a baby

[Trotskilicious]

one last thing I AM SO MUCH COOLER THAN ALL OF YOU I AM THE COOLEST AND THE REST OF YOU SUCK SHIT

/me rides off on my fixie

Modern vampires of the city is a great album
The other two are mostly annoying though

[mxzombie]

i've seen a lot of people riding one-speed bikes. best of both worlds--looks like a fixed gear bike but you can still coast. being in a city means there's much more heated competition to be the coolest, with many more opportunities to parade yourself around in public. you get all kinds.

[duovamp]

Lightness is p damn important for city riding. You don't need a Soho S but if you're on a beastly mountain bike you're going to want to kill yourself.

Wrong. Contra is awesome. S/T is annoying nowadays. Modern Vampires is a classick though. The problem with them is that every album has two shit songs on it, every time - Contra had 'Run' and 'Diplomat's Son', MV has the last two tracks are wack as fuck. S/T has 'Blake' and 'I Stand Corrected'.

But whattanincredibleband tho

portlandia clip thread starts now

[Trotskilicious]

CARS, MAN. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[bignothing]

I don't think too much about it, but I've always associated "hipsters" with people who have non genuine interest in alternative culture, to project a certain image. "Hipster bands" are, to me, bands that are phoning it in and are relying on formulas to make music with zero honesty targeted at those people. But of course this is all perception... Like, for me Bon Iver would fall into that just because I don't buy that their music is sincere and thus don't believe that fans would have a real connection to it.

[bignothing]

I guess I just have the same interpretation of "posers" and "hipsters"

[Eulogy]

The National is wonderful.

i feel the same way, but i keep getting called a hipster so i'm just going to own it

it's impossible to like indie music/assorted other things without people accusing you of "trying to be cool"

no matter how much i genuinely like deerhunter it's always "yeah just like pitchfork does lol hipster"

[Trotskilicious]

and honestly aren't posers part of every single genuine pop culture movement
