So who ARE that insufferable indie couple in the new Hyundai TV ads?

i mean, i think to 'mainstream america' this is indie. contenderizer (!) otm

maybe to indie fans this is something else now but

Hopefully they'll be dead with the year

scurvy, hopefully

oh my god.

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

im not talking about 'indie person' im simply talking abt the style of music theyre playing & how its presented

guys guys it's all car alarms

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

don't forget skavangelicals

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?

loving this sentence

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

Is that a keffiyah youre wearing?

Or are you just angry to see me?

this thread is making me learn how to use killfile, here is my reason

I didn't know Palestinian Solidarity was a hipster thing.

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.

deej otm

u hav a concept & its the rong one

This is why lolcats shouldn't be allowed to register ILX accounts...

northface = to hip or not to hip?

Lamp, you are totally the Geir of 'indie'. Good to have you around; ignore the peanut gallery.

what happened to the gawker post about pompskamoose

. 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.

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

i am not a peanut

you're smart enough to know where "hipster"'s been, why stake do you have to keep it from going where it's going?

unlike whiney i cant endorse any passionate opinion abt whether or not these ppl are hipsters

(don't worry, contenderizer. I'm only trying to coax more larfs out of Lamp.)

xxpost

xpost oh look, capn "i don't know what a hipster is" has triumphantly fucking returned to another thread

whiney's p close to some 'faggot just means sum1 uncool' tip here

lol are u for real xp

more 'captain i dont give a fuck what hipsters are' u dork

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR OUR TIMES

like, when u read contenderizer say "i prefer the old skool definition where it means outsiders' or w/e do u ever just sit back & think 'why am i arguing about this'

i know, lol point from me, but u gotta draw a line somewhere

this thread is funny.

jeez man, i hardly think i'm being a dhick about it. i like a certain usage, hate another. this makes me pretty ordinary: we all have our pet loathes. and of course it says more about me than objective reality (man), wouldn't think to claim otherwise.

i prefer that my hipsters remain tea-smoking anarchist dropouts with a fondness for fringe vests, what's it to ya?

I mean, the point is you keep hammering this away. Like how many times are you gonna tell us you don't have "a horse in this race."

this thread is funny.

the one time i said it?

u think i really have an opinion about this, or care?

"a horse in this race" makes me think of cutty

im keeping my real opinions about hipsters from you to seem cool!!

ill break down my real opinion: 'hipster' is the most boring possible topic of discussion, in 2010, and the fact that you keep talking about it, like it means something, is the corniest shit ever

excuse me -- 2011!!

What's the argument again? "hipster" is a pretty vacuous word.

more 'captain i dont give a fuck what hipsters are' u dork

arent u like some sort of hipster jane goodall reporting on 'the world of yung ppl' or w/e????
