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

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.

Unless you really are a Communist, I guess.

A lot of people were actually members of something called the Communist Party -- do you think they knew?
― pomp la familia (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 01:38 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah but the number of those people (in the West) <<<<< the number of people called "Commie"
― Tarzan Bot (seandalai), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 01:40 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― no pop, no style -- all simply (Viceroy), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 01:41 (thirteen years ago) link
oh, that's a little different than what I thought you meant by "it's never you"

I haven't ever seen a definitive demarcation of what a hipster is but hasn't it always required someone to be of a certain means or station who dabbles in slumming of some kind, and what separates them from the others is that they can leave? like if somehow wearing loincloths and carrying around clubs became a "thing", this wouldn't retroactively make cavemen hipsters.
I'm not sure how what the hyundaimoose is doing is slumming, though. maybe they could have held out for a benz commercial?

nunez yr definition of "hipster", while not without its merits, is waaaaayyy too class-based to be what most americans have in mind when they use the term (imo)

My kind-of-point was that people tend to use "hipster" to describe people who are slightly different from themselves, even if they themselves are "hipsters" to 90% of the population. Only the truly committed vanguard will use the term to describe themselves.
(themselves themselves themselves)
Pomplamoose aren't hipsters in my book because they aren't even pretending to transgress. As deej pointed out, they're in the Sufjan lineage of wimpy but unthreatening music your sister might like.

Whenever I see my favorite bands, I just never think they're real people. I always think they're these musical gods that live up on clouds and only come to earth for the occasional performance. And everything -- their marketing team, their PR team, does such a good job at turning them into mythical creatures that I have no hope of attaining that level of musical genius on which they are constantly riding through life. That has always bugged me about the way bands are portrayed. So we try to keep it simple and normal as much as possible. A lot of people call [that] our brand, or whatever it is -- but for us, it's just a lack of one, I think. We try to just make it fun and happy and normal. I guess "normalcy" is the big word. And a lot of people accuse us of being hipsters for that, which I think is hilarious. They think oh, they're being such lo-fi hipsters, they're wearing shorts in their videos instead of a freaking Panic At The Disco, 18th-century fruffle shirt. I actually think that's hilarious, that when somebody's actually normal onscreen, they get called a hipster.

does it have to be class-based? I mean you could be heir to the sriracha empire, and therefore your relationship with sriracha would be somewhat inescapable while still being loaded, while hipster-come-latelys can indulge and discard their mania for sriracha at whim.
― Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 02:03 (thirteen years ago) link
anyone discards sriracha mania is a fool imo

i gotta be honest, the nitrates and whatever exotic preservatives they're putting in sriracha is worrying me a little.
