ok im calling bullshit. if i call my lil sister up & ask her what kind of music this is do u think she'll say 'corporate folk'?

its the indiest indie that ever indied u lose

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.

deej otm

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?

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

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????

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.

why arent they indie

i dont have a stake in this just wondering where u guys are parsing this

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

i'm not entirely sure what this argument is about, but i'm quite sure pompaloose isn't worthy of it.

Here's a good summary:

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

Quite liked that "Another Day" one, but more than that might drive me blunt.

When irrational anger attacks...

the first was a discussion about indie whiney -- i thought u were being adamant that these were different things

http://i56.tinypic.com/iqbeqe.jpg

imo

haw

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.

Unless you really are a Communist, I guess.

Farewell, this thread imo

i meant graph, d'oh

A lot of people were actually members of something called the Communist Party -- do you think they knew?

Yeah but the number of those people (in the West) <<<<< the number of people called "Commie"

yeah but a lot of Communists got purged cause they weren't commie enough. So if there's a hipster purge lets hope Pompaloose is first up against the wall.

oh, that's a little different than what I thought you meant by "it's never you"
