This guy reminds me of an ex's brother. Both of them were so concerned about staying away from trends that they would actually seek out shitty alternatives to things that no one else could possibly like.

There was one time this guy way explaining this amazing new 'noise rock' singer to me, can't remember his name because I really didn't give a shit. He'd say how part of a lot of his music he would force himself to vomit as part of the lyrics. Like part of the song was supposed be the sound of him vomiting all over the mic, or he had once song that was just 4 minutes of bowel movement noises.

I asked him if he actually enjoyed music like that, or if it was something he just did because it's the exact opposite of trendy. He pauses his minidisc (no fucking joke) player, thinks a moment, and replies. "I dunno... it's interestesting..."

So glad that didn't work out in the end. Also this guy sucks.

You owe it to yourself to watch the whole thing, if only for the plea for more views at the end.

This really is a great album, though.

Yeah, I was blasting this album in 8th grade.

Everyone's a hipster!

You bet he's awful. Everyone cool knows Independent Worm Salon is the best Butthole Surfers album.

Sorry, hipsters love all of those bands.

No, he's not a hipster. That is one person's opinion. He is, however, not great with words, thoughts or reviews. And that is my opinion.

This guy isnt a hipster, hes just hes just kind annoying.
Right now is the easiest time to be a hipster because everyone knows what the term means now. And since no one wants to be a hipster, everyone throws the term around like an insult.
I have a good friend who uses the word "hipster" to describe everyone he particularly dosent like. Granted, he does go to film school, but Im under the impression that he really dosent know what a hipster is.
2 stars for fast talking stoner who likes noise rock.

No one seems to use the term right. It's like everyone throwing around "emo" a few years back. This guy isn't trying hard at being ironic, underground or anti trendy to be trendy which was the core ideas for the "hipster" term before the word started being used to describe anything. He's just babbling on about a band he likes and not doing a great job.

But term usage isn't important. The video was submited because the guy starts out confident and collected but quickly crashes into jibberish.

How old are you people?

How many of us here are over 30?

No term is currently more meaningless than "hipster" and using it makes you sound like someone's uncle.

When I was young enough to care, back in the first part of the '00s, we called them "mods"

My use of the term "hipster" was conscious and calculated.

So far, it has produced the desired results.

Anything ending in "core" is shitty.
Dubstep is what you hear in limbo.
Hell is filled with the sounds of Screamo, New Age Hip-hop, New Age Alternarock, and Country.
Seriously, I genuinely like Polka more than I like Nickelback.

Not everything ending in "core" is shitty. That's a sweeping generalization. You'll have to define "new age" since there are a lot of more recent hip hop acts I enjoy. The current meaning of screamo and emo aren't what the genre originally meant so that's another sweeping generalization.

I didn't say those genres are 100% bullshit (except crunkcore) I just said they were useless in the sense they aren't doing anything new or original.

The original 90's screamo bands were occasionally terrific. There's plenty of good-to-great hardcore out there, and "metalcore" used to offer up some good bands (I was in one, if I may say so myself). And "post-hardcore", in spite of having one of the worst genre names of all-time, contained a lot of great shit.

Yeah man. But none of those genres got popular until the 2000's when the creativity had already dried up and bands were being signed en mass just to make a buck. Elitists got bent out of shape over a few bands and started downing the whole genre. Post-hardcore got a lot of attention with mainstream success of Alkaline Trio and Thursday (hopefully get to see Thursday this month) but somehow all those genres got a bad rep due to a few really bad bands. I do some music reviews and I've reviewed a lot of deathcore groups and it seems no matter how far I trace it back, it's pretty much a bad genre. I like Skinless and I'd go as far as to say Suffocation are deathcore but barely. The whole genre and scene was created by trend hopping scene kids went from 3rd wave emo and bros made slam death even more obnoxious. The loudness wars ensued, breakdowns became forced and generic and chugging became a poor excuse for technicality. Screamo's title went to bad metalcore bands like The Devil Wears Prada and MCR got emo. I don't know where this rant goes but I'm explaining why I said deathcore was useless.

When I said post-hardcore, honestly I was thinking more along the lines of bands like Fugazi, a lot of the other Dischord stuff (Hoover and related bands), Slint, Drive Like Jehu, Jawbox, Unwound, etc etc etc. It's all semantics, though. Also, I played with Thursday a few times. Again, that's all I got.

Thursday is the more modernized, mainstream version of post-hardcore that I equated to the genres success. I still like that style but I know what you mean. I like Fugazi and all but I seem to have more in my collection of bands similar to DLJ's more math-y style and some Hot Water Music inspired bands that stray towards a more aggressive side.

I really haven't had much interest in much music outside of the stoner/sludge/doom genres aside from maybe 1 hip hop group and some shoegaze.

*interest lately.

A lot of people seemed to be headed that way. I've picked up on a few shoegaze bands that have interested me lately, but I really can't get into any of the stoner stuff that the kids are so crazy about these days. Basically, I'm old.
