Turning into? It's freaking been that way.

But I think it's been a lot more openminded lately, thankfully.

Perhaps my vastly superior musical intellect has helped you all see the light?

Meh, I don't really know what "hipster" bands are, I just assumed they were included.


Uh...Nirvana? Am I at least a bit closer?

Hipster basically just means the most obscure, godawful lo fi, twee pop, hardcore or post punk spawned abominations that Pitchfork can find and call the best thing to ever happen to music, until more than 12 people have heard of it and then it's crap.

Like others, I'm a bit confused as to what constitutes a hipster band. Sure I get that Pitchfork praises stuff like Neutral Milk Hotel, Radiohead, Animal Collective, Radiohead, and that generally it consists of "indie" bands. I enjoy a good chunk of the material from those bands.

The thread title sort of implies that because they are hipster bands we should be ashamed to still like them or something. Or maybe based on the actual OP it's that people are feeling ashamed but shouldn't.

Anyway...I'd love to add bands to the list but I'm really not sure who qualifies. Cursive? Les Savy Fav? Pinback? Pixies? The Shins? I like all of those, are they hipster because they are well-liked indie? I don't know.

Oh well in that case, none of the above qualify.
