ViralOblivion
10.21.12 | black keys are hipster music? |
Cipieron
10.21.12 | and all shit bands too |
Trebor17
10.21.12 | Most of these are awful but I like Bon Iver and half of Death Cab's stuff |
sixdegrees
10.21.12 | 8 is really bad. |
YankeeDudel
10.21.12 | Black Keys, TV on the Radio, MGMT, Grizzly Bear, and Bon Iver are cool with me. Arcade Fire is def very hipster but they have some good tunes. Ariel Pink, tuneyards, and Beirut are iight. Dont care about the others. |
ViralOblivion
10.21.12 | i really only like black keys on this list |
Bloodhail
10.21.12 | 1 9 15 19 aren't bad |
NightProwler
10.21.12 | A lot of good stuff on this list, but I agree on 2, she is so fucking bad |
Trebor17
10.21.12 | This is stuff everyone in the mezz crew listens to |
Sapientlife
10.21.12 | I HATE Fun. that is all. |
Cygnatti
10.21.12 | the fact that you know them probs means they aren't hipster music anymore |
Thor
10.21.12 | bon iver rules
needs more liturgy |
Lovegood
10.21.12 | no Animal Collective is a pleasant surprise. |
KjSwantko
10.21.12 | Fuck these bands listen to metal. |
toxin.
10.21.12 | Worst as in low-quality, or worst as in "most grievous offenders of being hipster-y"? I'm hoping the second because no one can hate on DCFC. You just can't |
Sirob
10.21.12 | bon iver, bright eyes, beach house, black keys are good and so is grizzly bear
so basically yeah anything that doesnt start with letter b or grizzly bear is hipster trash |
bach
10.21.12 | If this list has told me anything. It's that you have no idea what a hipster is. |
sniper01
10.21.12 | list needs more vampire weekend |
DarthMann
10.21.12 | nice list |
Uranium
10.21.12 | tv on the radio are really good. you're missing out. you lose. |
milkwizard
10.21.12 | Black Keys and MGMT are good, everything else is trash |
Ethics
10.21.12 | fun. and Beach House are bland and suck.
you're wrong on bon iver, tune yards, and grizzly bear big time. |
Cygnatti
10.21.12 | fun.'s first album was great, mgmt sucks |
sniper01
10.21.12 | i always thought hipsters were supposed to be kids that listen to bands just because they think it's cool to do that, and in that case these are all hipster bands for sure, the attention they get just means that the hipster counterculture has been absorbed into the mainstream, just like every musical counterculture ever eventually does. |
sniper01
10.21.12 | run-on sentence |
Muisc4Life26
10.21.12 | 20 is not hipster lol |
WashboardSuds
10.21.12 | came here excepting to see Aeroplane |
bach
10.21.12 | Arcade Fire? Hipster? |
Trebor17
10.21.12 | Hipsters pretend they only listen to obscure stuff and will deny they like these bands because they're relatively well known |
sniper01
10.21.12 | yeah i guess that's more like what people mean when they use hipster as an insult. this list is more like shitty "indie" bands, another debatable and meaningless term, but oh well |
bach
10.21.12 | A more appropriate name for this list would be "worst Indie kid bands."
None of these are really bad, though... |
sniper01
10.21.12 | yeah potato that's better. i mean in the 60's the hipsters would have been all the cats playing totally out free jazz. |
bach
10.21.12 | I was writing my comment when sniper posted the same thing. Dammit! |

auberginedreams
10.21.12 | so am i a hipster because i shop at american apparel and like indie music? if we're going by music taste, just about everyone on this site could be considered a hipster by somebodies standards. but i agree most of the stuff on this list is overhyped pitchfork stuff. i still love death cab and bon iver though. |
theacademy
10.21.12 | yea but nobody cares what you love |
Trebor17
10.21.12 | You shop at american apparel lol |
sniper01
10.21.12 | yeah honestly its always the same. a group of people react to the mainstream by intentionally distancing their culture from it, and then the mainstream catches on but doesn't understand, leading to misuse of terms and commercialization (think emo), until eventually a misrepresented form of the original movement is absorbed into the mainstream, devoid completely of what made it new in the first place. meanwhile, the true hipsters have already become bitter and moved in a new direction. full cirlce. |
Sirob
10.21.12 | free jazz is awesome |
auberginedreams
10.21.12 | not exclusively, but i do shop there sometimes. |
theacademy
10.21.12 | i didnt say you were butthurt i said you were trolled

10.21.12 | Do these bands even lift? |
auberginedreams
10.21.12 | "no it just means u are an indie scumbag ;]"
okay sweet, glad i've got that sorted. |
sniper01
10.21.12 | actually these days i think there's really no such thing as counterculture anymore, just zillions of microcultures, with some growing faster or dying faster than others. |
sniper01
10.21.12 | "free jazz is awesome"
cecil taylor all day |

i like how will smith is #4 on their "top 20 whitest musicians" list lol. |
sniper01
10.21.12 | whitest black musician is cowboy troy for sure |
Dolving999
10.21.12 | Some of these are pretty good. But I hate hipsters so much, I wanna throw a can of REAL beer at their faces. |
sniper01
10.21.12 | lol irony |
theacademy
10.21.12 | i like nu hipsters a lot |
PsilocybeDreamer
10.21.12 | Beirut, MGMT, Fun., Death Cab for Cutie, and the Black Keys are all good. Bon Iver is decent. Don't really know about the other bands though. |
americanohno
10.21.12 | Well I think The Black Keys are a solid rock 'n' roll group and Bright Eyes did have that one record where he tried to be Gram Parsons. But otherwise I'd agree this music isn't for me.
@ Sniper01
c'mon man Cowboy Troy raps and bangs white broads. Darius Rucker is clearly the right answer. He 'makes love' with 'classy' white 'ladies'. Plus he's Hootie. |
sniper01
10.21.12 | darius rucker true story |
FranzSchubert
10.21.12 | Mumford and sons would fit here nicely. i wish that band was fucking dead. |
nononsense
10.21.12 | Death Cab For Cutie is fantastic. |
FranzSchubert
10.21.12 | yeah but lots of faggots like them... |
sniper01
10.21.12 | yeah bands gay people like are bad |
Ecnalzen
10.21.12 | The Black Keys are great and DCFC is pretty decent. I don't think I've heard the rest. |
Youtellme
10.21.12 | lol @ you thinking Hipster has any meaning.
Also 1 rules. |
DWittisarockstar
10.21.12 | I'm way more of a hipster than I thought I was.
Well, I do wear fake glasses... |
oltnabrick
10.21.12 | Bon Iver and Arcade Fire's first album are awesome |
PuddlesPuddles
10.21.12 | All these are indeed shit except for TV on the Radio and even that album is just decent |
theacademy
10.21.12 | tvotr and bright eyes r good
fun had a cool album once
everything else is shit
black keys are teh worst! |
tommygun
10.21.12 | Hmm seems like a lot of people get wrapped up in listening to stuff to look cool or avoiding stuff because it's too popular or whatever. I just listen to whatever sounds good to my ears and don't judge other people based on their music taste. Live and let live etc. |
andcas
10.21.12 | just because a bunch of hipsters may like them doesn't make their music bad. grow up. |
chupacabraisreal
10.21.12 | I have NEVER once in my entire life ever heard of anybody on the face of the Earth saying that they don't like a band because they are popular, but people relentlessly suggest that "hipsters" do this all the time. |
Crymsonblaze
10.21.12 | i like being a hipster
i'm not that musically hipstery though. |
Sirob
10.21.12 | black keys rule |
pwalcher
10.21.12 | your profile pic perfectly exemplifies the attitude and vibe that this list gives off |
wacknizzle
10.21.12 | Death Cab, The Decemberist(old), Beirut, and Grizzly Bear are all really good imo. Hipsters are probably too busy listening to pretentious garbage only they like so it makes them feel cool and elite. |
modernman2
10.22.12 | Who care's if you think these bands are "hipster." Does that make them bad? |
modernman2
10.22.12 | Go listen to The Black Keys "The Big Come Up." Great album. |
discovolante
10.24.12 | Duuude.... TVOTR kick ass. MGMT is a different story. |
MyCarandMyGuitar
11.01.12 | 1,3,15,16,17,18,19, and 20 are all great. |
PuddlesPuddles
11.01.12 | If anyone likes 18 they must have something wrong up in their brains and don't touch me |
MyCarandMyGuitar
11.01.12 | seems like critics and people on this site generally like 18, so |
