You're right, because Confucius was a know-it-all seventeen year old dick.

And sends hipster ******s crying to their Manchester Orchestra CDs.
Riiiiight. Because hipsters listen to Manchester Orchestra. You totally caught them red-handed.

And what is that redacted word? Is that the n-word? What other bad six letter words are there?

So? I enjoy Bon Iver for legitimate reasons. Not because I want to seem music-savvy, stylish, or individual.

I assume it's the word relating to gay people, but still, his post was ridiculous.

There's nothing wrong with the article. Part of comedy is taking things out of perspective or purposefully misinterpreting things for the sake of some lols. As a bearded, bespectacled man I still found that article quite funny. The problem is the OP who takes what is comedy and turns it into dogma. He sucks, not the article.

Ooooh, you're older than me and have 1,000+ posts.
Everything you say automatically trumps me.


This article primarly targets teenagers, because the majority of indie-listening teenagers perfectly fit it's description. And what do these teenagers listen to? Bands like Manchester Orchestra. And I would know that. Because I'm in this thing called high school where you're in the presence of TEENAGERS 7 hours a day 5 days a week.

That guy is just a stupid troll, it's usually not worth having a discussion with him.

[Divinehand]

That's not what I'm saying. :/
The only reason I can think of at hand that I would consider as illegitimate is liking a band for the sheer purpose of being able to say to other people that youre a fan of a certain band in order to the create an individualistic image.
I'm pretty sure that's a ridiculous reason. Would you agree with that?

[murrich]

That guy is just a stupid troll, it's usually not worth having a discussion with him.

He's just a stupid troll? He was right, Divinehand was wrong and was acting as if he's the only one listening to indie music with legitimate reasons.

The people at your school don't like the music of Manchester Orchestra, but just the scene points they get for listening to them? You can't say this.

No, everything I say automatically trumps you because you're a homophobic asshole.

Where does it say that? I'd say most indie music listeners are out of high school or even college.

And what do these teenagers listen to?
You said hipsters.

And I would know that. Because I'm in this thing called high school where you're in the presence of TEENAGERS 7 hours a day 5 days a week.
Well I would know what hipsters listen to because I'm in this thing called a clique where you're in the presence of HIPSTERS all day all the time. And besides, I spend plenty of time on here with teenagers, so despite what my bad back and love of Werther's caramel say about me, I've got a pretty solid idea of what they listen to.

I'm serious about this. I personally know people that will sit there and listen to something for days at a time, not like it, and make themselves listen to it until they can find just the littlest thing they can stand about it. All for social credit. It's nuts.

1. I'm not homophobic. I really don't care if someone's gay. or if they're around me and gay. I just use the word because it's biting and fires up people.
2. I'd say that the age group ranges from like 16-24. Something like that. Maybe I'm just blindsided by my school. It does have an unusually high concentration of those kinds of people...

[fly_guy]

You really love Blink 182, YOU KNOW YOU DO.

I dont love them, Im just supportive of their music. I love Grizzly Bear for their looks, though. I dont even know what their music sounds like. Is it sceney? Oh god, it is. Im so stupid.

Your school has people in it over 20 who aren't teachers?

Or are they teachers assistants who like indie music? I'm confused.

[briewer]

1. I'm not homophobic. I really don't care if someone's gay. or if they're around me and gay.
Then don't use it.

No, I'd say it's closer to 18-40 or above. All the kids leave home for college and become cultured and arduous because they're reading Proust and Locke for classes instead of Shakespeare or whatever else you guys read in high school, and it goes on from there. I mean, Stuff White People Like (http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/) wasn't aimed at the kids, it was aimed at adults.

At my school you read Shakespeare in British Lit pretty exclusively.
Otherwise you read material like Hemingway, Huxley, Orwell, Steinbeck, Fitzgerald. That sorta stuff.
Uhhhh. Well I guess I agree with you. That makes sense.

I guess my opinion on the subject just stems from my experiences surrounded by trendy psuedo-intellectuals at my lunchtable. There's like 20 of them there, and they all pretty much perfectly fit what I've been describing. The song "Admit It!!!" sums it up pretty well.

[briewer]

Nah, OP.
Okay good. I didn't know what the word was at first. I thought it was either the word for gays, or the word that.... um... you know... that some people, BAD people.... use to.... you know.... how do I put this? It's about you guys.... I mean it SHOULDN'T be, it's wrongfully about you guys.... you know, 'you guys'..... oh jeez.....

Hipsters listen to Manchester Orchestra? And accusing someone that they like a band simply for credibility is completely asinine and one of the most bullshit and overused arguments used by ignorant fucks that get upset that someone actually listens to a band they never heard of. I don't freak out when I meet someone that listens to a band I never heard of, I take it as an opportunity to listen to new music, not a reason to whine over my Brand New records and curse all "hipsters" that listen to music "just to be cool." Have you ever thought that maybe they actively search for new music whereas you spend all day sitting and wondering what the next "amaaaazzing" band AP.net is going to shove down your throat?

[DePeachMode]

That's how hipsters work, yeah. But, uh, not everyone who doesn't masturbate over Springsteen and AFI is a hipster, mind you.

Jimmy Eat World & Manchester Orchestra are hipster bands? FUCK YES, I AM SUPERIOR TO YOU ALL. I mean really, the only reason I listen to Now, Now Every Children & We Were Promised Jetpacks is because of their names

The whole "hipsters listen to good bands for bad reasons" joke wasn't funny five years ago when I first heard it, and it isn't funny now. OP needs to grow up and quit whining about "teenagers" or "hipsters" or whatever he was whining about.
