In re the effectiveness of the commercial: I kind of like the image of people angrily rushing off to buy hyundais and not quite knowing why.

The image of Don Draper just advocating for the usage of hipsters to promote the new Hyundai just kinda strikes me as wtf why

nothing more annoying to me than a drummer who insists on not using a chair. i'm pretty sure noah lennox started this.
If you mean "drummer standing up" I really dont think anco started this, i mean ffs bands like the Fall and Big Black have had standing (and duelling!) drummers years ago. And uh I dunno, Moe Tucker?
― Ex Loin Tamer (Trayce), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 00:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, but that trend didn't exact exactly last up until now.
― heh (kelpolaris), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 00:13 (thirteen years ago) link
considering those aforementioned bands were from the late 80's, mid 90's. I'm sure there are outliers but it's definitely a thing I have noticed in the past couple months whenever I go to the DIY venue here in town. p. much ever since post mpp

*early, not mid. whatever.
these ppl are yuppies theyre audience are yuppies and their music is corporate folk

i dont get this post. i dont have the knowledge base as far as what strain of indie this is exactly but parsing the diff between this & sufjan stevens to someone who has never listened to a sufjan stevens album but has heard his stuff playing in a barnes & noble i used to work at, is serious hair splitting, in terms of the overarching aesthetic

You fucking guys know that hipster, yuppie and indie-person are all parts of the same interlocking venn diagram right?

i dont rlly have a horse in the ARE THEY HIPSTERS?? contest -- just observing that i think they code 'indie' to 99% of ppl who have an concept of what 'indie' means

anyone who can't see that these two morons are indie AND hipster AND yuppie to varying degrees needs to take a cold hard fucking look at how they identify themselves

But I thought hipsters played the part of vanguard proletariat revolutionists? Are you to tell me many of them are in some ways middle-class?

Is that a keffiyah youre wearing? look in a mirror, punk
I always liked seeing drummers who just sat on the floor and set their kit up super low... its an amusing gimmick. Haven't seen that in awhile though.

(sorry to butt in)I'm two days behind on this thread - I just started reading it
this thread is making me think about why i like this band so here are my reasons.
1. they remind me pleasantly of some friends i have in portland,...
After I watched the first two youtubes, the hyundai commerical and as much as I could stomach of the next video, I decided to wiki the group JUST TO CHECK IF THEY WERE FROM PORTLAND OREGON

nah, i have this old-fashioned view of hipsterdom (no shock, i'm old), where you have to be self-consciously, patti-smith-style "outside of societeee (man)" to some extent to make the grade. understand that in current alt-speak, hipster just means "lol indie think you're cool fashion style person," but i refuse to endorse that usage.
i look in the mirror and notice that i am an indie listening wanna-be hipster in disarrayed retreat from his own yuppie birthright.

just because you want words to mean what they USED to mean makes you a pedantic dick. Yeah, I wish "hardcore" still meant Black Flag and not The Devil Wears Prada, but what can I do. You're digging in your heels about semantics and this says more about YOU than the the word indie, tbfh
