That's good that you don't care, because you fucked it all up. :P
Having listened to a bunch since I found the list, Rolling in the Deep is still the only one I actually *like*.
Same here :huh:
Because you are backwards euros?!?
But really i know who 2/3rds of the list are, doesn't mean i like their music.
Yes, we produce our own crappy music, thankyouverymuch. :P
Yes as you people keep droning on and on about with your EUROVision :x
Same here :smarty:
It's called.......getting old.
Nope, just not my music taste. I know people older than me who actually are familiar with this stuff and even apreciate it (yes, hipsters).
There is music in those ads :huh:
Went to listen and recognized two more songs, just didn't know their titles. so up to 5 (I missed the second Adele song when i posted first time :blush:
Shocking!
<_<
It wasn't disparaging, but someone in mid 20's living in the City, i'd be shocked if they didn't know those songs. and the artists. I mean i know 16 of the artists, but I just don't listen to enough R&B, Hip hop to follow them.
Do you like sounding over the hill? Does that work on the ladies?
Sounding? :cry:
:lol:
Yeah, my mom would do much better at recognizing 90s stuff than my dad as well. Cause she didn't monopolize the radio when driving us places.
Unfortunately I have heard of one of the artists on that list.
This.
I mean with just the set below, you get to almost half the artists on that list:
Radiohead
Rihanna
Beyonce
Chris Brown
Adele
Lady Gaga
Jay-Z & Kanye West
Britney Spears
He stays in the room? You have a much higher tolerance than I do Max :P
Pretty sure you are supposed to despise anybody who makes it onto the Billboard top 20 if you are a hipster. Or used to like them but then they got lame.
Rihanna
Radiohead
Beyonce
Lady Gaga
Jay-Z & Kanye West
Nicki Minaj
These are the names I recognize. And Nicki Minaj only makes the list because I saw her mentioned by you on here. :P
Oh wow, I didn't know Britney Spears wasn't a known name. Chris Brown is a talentless hack and known most recently for beating up Rihanna. Adele has been dominating the airwaves since the Grammy's this year. I know mongers must know of her as she has to be playing non-stop in her native England.
Kelly Rowland is a former member of Destiny's Child. Drake is like Nicki, one of the rappers under Lil Wayne's crew.
Or like them in an ironic fashion. ;)
Oops, I did i again. Britney should be on that list. Though I wasn't aware that she came out with anything new.
I just don't listen to radio all that much, and when I do it's either info radio or classical music, or some station that plays stuff that's 10+ years old. That is, if I don't just turn to Last.FM. And I don't follow celebrity news in general.
Also he did the song they danced to in that one wedding video.
Ditto.
Fair enough. Yeah I was just putting together a list of names that I thought people would know, regardless of new music or what have you. :)
That's the problem with hipsters, they're fickle. No loyalty to build a career on. Gay fans, on the other hand, will buy whatever shit you produce - look at Cher.
Well, when you're talking about something released in 1997, yeah, "I like their earlier work" does fit.
What about gay hipsters?
There was nothing inherently wrong with that album, and you know it.
Dude, you've rarely seen sunlight.
My experience of a gay hipstery bar is that the love of occasional kitsch outweighs the need to be cool :blush:
And we applaud you both for that.
I guess that depends what traditional gay culture is. In SF, it is more of the "alternative"/bear type then anything else and that's supposedly the mecca of gaydom.
Maybe though that's just one axis as in you can end up with a bear who hates typical gay culture bits like the gym and etc but then likes that musical stuff. Or you could end up with a bear who likes the gym but despises Cher. :hmm:
You mean - gays aren't on an axis, but are all unique JUST LIKE REGULAR PEOPLE???
Well I'm not sure I'd go that far.
Same with Fun. Guilty pleasure for them, and they're just starting to get annoyed about people "encroaching" on their turf when middle-aged husbands are buying two copies of Making Mirrors so they've got one for their wife and one for themselves.
And more stereotype-busting? The metalheads and left-over punk-rockers are WAY worse about the music snobbery. The store manager and I get such a kick out of schooling those guys, like the pseudo-skinhead punker who doesn't understand why we don't carry Screwdriver.
:face: Ouch. You're right. They kinda blur to me; hipsters with megaphones (Foster the People) and/or a need to see a speech pathologist (Fun.). With We Are Young, I've started surveying people to see what they think the line after "So let's set the world on fire" is. :P
All he needs to do to see a hipster is watch some vlogs on youtube.
I like both those songs. :lol:
Also, the Black Keys have some good ones.
Lol, dude is fine with August, decided not to inquire about everything after.
Pfft. Like you're ever likely to encounter a "real" hipster outside of Williamsburg or Portland anyway. :rolleyes:
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.
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. :P
It is Ide...
I wished to discuss "Pumped Up Kicks" in comparison to my favorite Boomtown Rats song, and also Foster the People more generally, and used your post as a springboard. :)
But yeah I agree with MP hipsterism's very mainstream now it's far too easy to mock.
I can barely walk!

I listen to music a lot, and its a fun mix of stuff, but certainly none of that.
They Might Be Giants is still cool and hip, right? Cause I totally like them.

Around half though some I know the artist but am unsure about the song.
That Niki Manaj woman is weird. I'd seen her in the paper in the UK and heard her name but never actually heard her. Here in Japan her videos are on all the freaking time though. Wonder if its UK being immune or her suddenly breaking through this year. She sucks anyway (though I certainly would).

Unfortunately I have heard of one of the artists on that list.

Oh wow, I didn't know Britney Spears wasn't a known name. Chris Brown is a talentless hack and known most recently for beating up Rihanna. Adele has been dominating the airwaves since the Grammy's this year. I know mongers must know of her as she has to be playing non-stop in her native England.

Oops, I did i again. Britney should be on that list. Though I wasn't aware that she came out with anything new.
I just don't listen to radio all that much, and when I do it's either info radio or classical music, or some station that plays stuff that's 10+ years old. That is, if I don't just turn to Last.FM. And I don't follow celebrity news in general.

I don't think they'd like Beyonce though, or much pop really, especially mainstream stuff. Even I as a genuine indie-sort can't abide that kind of thing generally.

I guess that depends what traditional gay culture is. In SF, it is more of the "alternative"/bear type then anything else and that's supposedly the mecca of gaydom.

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

Same with Fun. Guilty pleasure for them, and they're just starting to get annoyed about people "encroaching" on their turf when middle-aged husbands are buying two copies of Making Mirrors so they've got one for their wife and one for themselves.
And more stereotype-busting? The metalheads and left-over punk-rockers are WAY worse about the music snobbery. The store manager and I get such a kick out of schooling those guys, like the pseudo-skinhead punker who doesn't understand why we don't carry Screwdriver.

:face: Ouch. You're right. They kinda blur to me; hipsters with megaphones (Foster the People) and/or a need to see a speech pathologist (Fun.). With We Are Young, I've started surveying people to see what they think the line after "So let's set the world on fire" is. :P

Pumped Up Kicks can't be hipster, it's on the BBC's Sunday night football (soccer) highlights programme for god's sake.

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.

What about gay hipsters?

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.

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?

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

Well, ok, I was basing it almost entirely on the "Somebody I Used to Know" video, and I got a little excited. Just look at that hair. :wub:
And I said "white," which narrows the competition, considerably.

I wished to discuss "Pumped Up Kicks" in comparison to my favorite Boomtown Rats song, and also Foster the People more generally, and used your post as a springboard. :)
