the downside of the anti-rockist embrace of all things pop is that it leaves little room for for such values
I agree with Pete but I don't agree with this. At all.

In fact it's kind of the most stereotypically "rockist" thing one could possibly say!

Er, not its "rockistness" but that pop in 2011 leaves room for "the intrinsic social value of a loyal (economic/political) opposition"

No really guys, I kind of like that Bacon song. I don't read it as "lol bacon" but rather a deadpan commentary on the sickness of our country, for which our empty culture can offer no better "remedy" than bacon. The video is like a post-Christmas rec room toy binge to the point of hallucination.

1. "hipster, yuppie and indie-person are all parts of the same interlocking venn diagram"
I suspect that for most people, yr music-store-nerd-type ILXorz are indistinguishable from these groups. Perhaps part of the rage is people who see a bright line between themselves and the Pamplamoosers, whereas most ordinary citizens would not.
I have it on good authority that some of you have beards; some have -gasp- even worn sweaters. Shit, I have a beard, wear sweaters, and can even play the mandolin! I guess I'd be up against the ILM firing-squad wall too.
2. Drummers without chairs: you mean like pretty much every orchestra ever, like Thompson Twins, or like Stray Cats?
3. Sure, I share a generous portion of eyerolling for whatever is the latest variant of Juno / Garden State / Rushmore / Tenenbaums / Little Miss Whatever. The Quirky Indie soundtracks, the Quirky Indie actors, the Quirky indie viral buzz gets all my Quirky Indie friends excited, but once I discern that "people like me" are the target market for something, it's a major turnoff.
But I recognize that the reason corporations want to market stuff to me - and why they use signifiers that they think will resonate with me - isn't because they're EEVil. It's because I've haphazardly stumbled into being a valuable demographic. One can hardly blame them for trying to chase after the contents of my wallet; that's their job. It's a sign at having "won" at "life," whatever that means.
4. "60s twee is so much more enthusiastic than modern twee!" / "there's something inherently bored about modern twee. detached."
And yet there's equally gleeful hate-ons for people who seem too attached / enthusiastic / emoting, cf. Nickelback. Y'all can just not be satisfied.
5. "people with jobs and kids"
Why the AutoScorn for people with jobs and kids? Bowie, Zappa, Lennon, Dylan, Bonham, Marley had kids.
