Econoline Crush was an awesome fucking band
Some really tight, 90's Canadian Alt-Rock. Check it out if you've never heard of em. Was just listening to this CD for the first time in ages tonight. Good shit.

The first step on the path to hipsterdom is to denounce hipsters and all that they like.

I don't think I've ever come across a band that was tagged as grunge and industrial. They might be the first.

they were pretty well known in Canada in the late 90's. Like they charted and had platinum records. I wouldn't call them obscure here. But i would call them another fine example why canada sucks at music.

For the most part a lot of these bands seem to be style over substance, in much the same way that the whole glam-metal trend was. I mean, you look at some of the most successful "hipster" bands and they're all shit. You got bands like: Foster the people, Mumford and sons, Vampire Weekend, The National, Imagine dragons all of that shit just bores me to absolute tears. No substance, no originality, I can't understand the whole craze. It seems to be just all about the image and aesthetics of it all. |

The Devil you know is a damn good album. Their first one was great too. Granted, I will admit that the 3rd one sucked ass though and of course the lead singers taking the Bolly route and making his own shit music with hired hands now so that doesn't count.

Also i fail to see how Econoline fucking Crush has any more substance than those bands. Anyway by your definition it seems any band having success now and that is not 100% pop is a "hipster" band. |

MGMT LoL that's a band "hipsters" make fun of
who the fuck is tokyo police club get your head out of your ass and judge the music for the music, you bring all this other garbage to the table for example you just named a whole list of bands i really dislike, the national is boring, vampire weekend is dogshit, foster the people is a pathetic Arcade Fire clone, Imagine fucking Dragons is a mainstream major label band and Mumford & Sons is massively huge and profoundly loathed by the indie music crowd. you still haven't mentioned any of the alt rock/shoegaze revival acts that i like but if i post a deerhunter song you'll just respond "bro that song is fucking terrible" like you do with everything because you have confirmation bias ultimately you need to realize that the indie "scene" is not a genre, or an aestetic. it means these bands are obscure and are on small labels and ultimately cater to a niche. A lot of times they are doing wild and interesting stuff that the mainstream can't fucking handle (SWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSS) . The bands you listed can be categorized in several genres, but you act like they're one and the same. Find your niche and fuck the shit out of it, and you can do better than moldy canadian alt rock. I managed to and I'm not doubling down on Vampire Weekend. I honestly don't understand how a dude like you doesn't like Japandroids except for some kind of confirmation bias about the Hipster Menace. They are hard drinkin hard partying boys from Vancouver. That's it, there's no pretension to anything they do. They are good time, fun time, fuzz rock coming straight out of the 90s. miami heat by 4 Last edited by Trotskilicious : 06-12-2014 at 01:24 PM. |

Lol really? I know a bunch of "hipsters" who used to really like em.
Pretty big band out here in Canada. They're pretty rad, big amongst the trendy kids Quote:
I haven't really heard any alt rock/shoegaze revival hipster bands or anything though. I've heard a couple tracks from deerhunter, they weren't bad, but they didn't really make me wanna check out more of their stuff either. Quote:

Most of the hipster shit that I've heard sounds like one big conglomeration of Vampire weekend, foster the people, or cheap Arcade Fire knockoffs(give or take a little). That's the kind of shit that I consider to be hipster music. The kind of music that attracts trendy assholes who don't really know anything about or have a genuine love for music. Jimmy Kimmel did a great piece on exposing the general intelligence of most hipster goofs |

People use the word hipster when they feel threatened by someone else's music knowledge.
If there are all these bands that they don't know about, maybe their musical tastes are actually pretty bland. |

I actually didn't realize it was cool to like post-punk until I got on this forum.

I mean, I always hear about hipsters gushing about Lana Del Ray, so I checked her out and while she has an alright voice, the music is entirely unimpressive. I can't pretend that I'm "hip to the scene" but none of these artists that people have tried to turn me onto do anything for me.

Not me, so stop bringing it up every time that I'm sharing music with people.
Jeeze. It always comes back down to the hipster talk as far as Trotsky is concerned. |

fuzzy rose is using it here to put all of the music that he doesn't like in one neat pile. That being almost everything that was released after 2000, aside from the stuff that sounds like music before 2000. Especially if it features Mike Byrne. |

lol well that's only natural isn't it? My biggest interest is in guitar driven music, and there hasn't really been a lot of standout, fresh guitar driven bands in the 2000's. Obviously theres some, but that type of music seemed to die out once the new millennium rolled around.
I mean, nowadays most of the "famous" bands are all weak and playing little jingles on their mandolins. Obviously you have to go the indie route to find guitar driven music, and I search high and low and theres not a lot of real "special" stuff out there anymore. |
