Here I was thinking it was Hipster to hate music because Pitchfork raved about it.

I was trying to think of the most un-hipster band imaginable, and 311 seemed like the best...

I remember when I started a Deerhunter thread and it was virtually ignored for about a year until pitchfork started hyping them.

You bunch of f*cking sheep

Ah, "Hipster". Soon this world will join the ranks of "Overrated" and "Pretentious" on the list of words that are used incorrectly by 'music nerds' in order to assert their self-proclaimed dominance over other 'music nerds'.

I remember when I started to like Animal Collective, and then I went to catalog my ownership of their stuff and I was barraged by all of these "HIPSTER'S NEW CLOTHES LOL OVERRATED PITCHFORK TRIPE" reviews and comments which offer no actual explanation of the music yet create mountains of useless, sterile hype.

I would love to see the world 'hipster' removed from the English language, or at least have its definition justly changed. In the 50's, it had a positive connotation, prior to when everybody started to use it as a slanderous term for these so-called 'pretentious elitists' (most people couldn't even define what that term even meant if you asked them). Of course, nobody bothers to understand the history of a word, and instead they simply apply it to situations they see fit to at will - why do you think "Emo" became such a bad term as of late? When people stop relying on single words in order to categorize others for their 'bad' behavior, then maybe they'll be forced to think for themselves again and the world will know peace.

... Unlikely, but I'm a dreamer in that sense.

I agree with you, but it's still fun to play "Look At That ****ing Hipster" while in a public place such as the mall.
