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.

edit:


Oh well in that case, none of the above qualify.
The idea is that the elitism of Music Banter drives people away from a lot of hipster bands. And, while some of the bands may be trash, there are a lot of genuinely good bands that have the hipster tag attached to them and thus people we renounce them. The point of this thread is to get people to reveal what bands they listen to that have this label attached to them.

I feel bad for liking Animal Collective and Bon Iver. Oh, and also... Pitchfork gave "Camoufleur" a 9.6 but, I don't know of any hipsters that have even heard of Gastr Del Sol.

ps. they took the review of the site I guess, *sigh* it was from 1998 of course.

Neither Tokio Hotel or Incubus are considered hipster bands.
