Look at that hipster, in that mirror...(with working poll)

Yeah it was the hit of the summer last year. DSB fails again.

That list makes my iPod hurt.  It's quite happy living in 1991, thank you.

Lol, dude is fine with August, decided not to inquire about everything after.

[Ideologue]

What about gay hipsters?

Gay hipsters are like trainee bears.  They've got the facial hair, the love of checked shirts and flannel trousers.  It's kind of disconcerting.

Pfft.  Like you're ever likely to encounter a "real" hipster outside of Williamsburg or Portland anyway.

To be fair he's from New Jersey.  Last summer's like tomorrow there

I don't think Gotye's song can really even count as hipster anymore. 220mil youtube views?

This.

[Ideologue]

I seem to be the only one who'll admit to recognizing them all (then again, I have to sell them all).  Not going to actively listen to any of this list, though.

Also, the current "real" hipster hits are Somebody I Used to Know by Gotye and Pumped Up Kicks by Fun.

You're thinking of that horrible "We Are Young" thing, which is one of the most pandering pieces of shit I've ever heard (I will concede it's catchy); to the extent that I think I've already heard it on a Goddamned car commercial.  "Pumped Up Kicks" is Foster the People, and, like that whole album, rather good (and "Houdini" is the shit).  "Pumped Up Kicks" is not, however, nearly as good a school shooting song as "I Don't Like Mondays," the Bob Geldoff/Bon Jovi version of which, of course, remains the gold standard by which all kids-gettin'-capped songs must be judged.

Oh, and Gotye and HOTTEST WHITE WOMAN ALIVE Kimbra's "Somebody I Used to Know" is pretty awesome.

I'll concur, reluctantly.  You must admit it does sound like the sort of music some arty dork would listen to.

[Queequeg]

Not really.  I think "hipster" has gone mainstream to the extent that Indie has crowded out almost everything that it originally rebelled against.  Where is Nickelback these days?

Yeah once your song appears on Glee it is all over.

Again shows how clueless you are.

I already conceded that one a little ways back, but yeah, notice I got the Gotye right and the other two wrong.

Incidently, "We are young" made me think of this mediocre song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUE4oDunYkc which still manages to be better than the current hit.

[garbon]

Kimbra is the hottest woman alive? Thank God I'm gay!

[Eddie Teach]

Nah, her head's too boxy.
