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

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
u hav a concept & its the rong one
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

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

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?

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!!

I just want to say that I think Pompaloose (sp?) are obviously trying to have an indie/hipster image but because they are soulless yuppies selling cars the image is just illusion and they aren't really hipsters, just ghoulish corporate apparitions of hipsters.
I am not an expert in this area though that's just my opinion.

Thx for the summary. Are they/are they not hipsters seems to be where we ended up and I don't think that's going anywhere. Hipster is like Communist - it's never you.
