I have never listened to the Belle & Sebastian. I know for a fact I will hate them, just on name alone.
I've been trying to tell you people that GL isn't a hipster for how many years now? Here's your proof!
Nope, sorry. Trashing a prototypical "hipster" act like Belle & Sebastian is EXACTLY something a true hipster would do, especially since B&S are all played out now.
Besides, the evidence proving that you're a hipster keeps piling up. You know what hipsters are apparently really into now (according to my perusals of Pitchfork, mainly)? Loud/raw garage rock, like the Men, Cloud Nothings, Ty Segall, etc., and carefully crafted EDM.
When I look at you I see a guy who f*cking loves loud/raw garage rock who also happens to have founded a message board dedicated to a festival which supposedly highlights the best in carefully crafted EDM.

Game. Set. Match. Hipster.
Actually, hipsters (like the real, legit hipsters) are getting into metal now. Laugh now if you want, but remember that you heard it here first from the guy who works at a record store and witnesses hipster behavior firsthand on pretty much a daily basis.
And I'm talking mostly about death metal and droney sh*t, stuff like Sunn O))), Wolves in the Throne Room, Earth, Mayhem, that sort of stuff. But also some more accessible metal like Baroness. It's headed in that direction.
I think i've gone over this before, but Garageland is not actually a hipster. He is something way more than that: what every hipsters wishes they could be. I believe Dave came up with the term Hipster Messiah, which I think fits perfectly. Would you consider Jesus a Christian? Not really, but every Christian aspires to be like Jesus. Garageland is the Jesus of the hipsters.

Yep Karosko is absolutely right. My daughter (who is 20) and her friends are totally in the genre of people, and they are very into death metal bands right now..... She started a little more "mellow" with Baroness, Clutch and Kylesa, but now has moved on to bands I have never heard of, and I don't really like they way they sound

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Oh God.
You aren't there yet, I've heard of all of those bands

You forgot the fixed gear bike, the black rim glasses, and tattoos (including the tale-tell mustache-on-the-finger).
Better yet, what about imitation imitation Ray Bans from Walgreens that cost $10 because you're too cheap to buy imitation Ray Bans? But to be fair I've had them like 3 years.

Since May (when I realized I am so bad with sunglasses I should track just how bad I am with them) I have purchased 8 pairs of sunglasses (those same fake raybans) at $16 each.
Some of the ways my glasses were lost/broken:
- Woke up on my cousin's neighbor's porch and stepped on the sunglasses running away from the residents.
- During my trip to Provincetown recently, my uncle's gargantuan beer belly crushed them when I was blocking him from devouring some guy who had pushed my aunt (his sister).
- Laughing/crying/man-hugging after Johan Santana tossed a no hitter. Wore my glasses with no lenses out of the stadium before realizing they had no lenses. They are currently in a ziplock bag with my Johan jersey (first and only time ever worn) and my ticket from that game, which will all be framed and given to my brother since he didn't go to the game and was nearly suicidal about it.
- My dog ate them (literally)
- Holding my baby cousin (she's 2 1/2 but is a little peanut so she looks like she's 1) on a whale watching boat and she grabbed my glasses said something in little-kid-gibberish and launched them into the ocean, laughing for a solid 5 minutes. Being an *sshole runs in the family, I guess.
i dunno. maybe it is just me, but i don't really see why raybans make you a hipster. here's a picture of my 52 year old uncle and my cousin (who also has raybans) golfing in pebble beach. he's pretty much as conservative as you can get (polos and kahki everyday) but he's had raybans for forever.
