This should be called: “List of ‘Indie’ Bands College Kids Listen to in a Desperate Attempt to Seem Like Hipsters.” Just stamp some Metric and Passion Pit on this and you’ll be all set.
I’m not a hipster, really. I genuinely like this kind of music and listen to it because I want to. I could give less of a shit what people think of my music tastes.
I see you all enjoy my pseudo-hip taste in music circa 2009.
I like all of this music except for Wolfgang. I don’t see where people get off with grouping certain artists together and then saying they are for blah blah this and that. I’m asian and I hate all asian pop because it’s stupid TO ME, but I hate country, too. I listen to rap not because I want to look cool but dat bass makes my balls tingle.
Many of the bands listed above have enjoyed a moderate amount of success after starting off under some no-name label or whatnot while maintaining their own unique sound. If liking music that doesn’t sound like other music is considered “hip” or “douchebaggy” then that burger you are eating is pubic cotton. What? It’s stupid and doesn’t make sense.
Also: The Beatles are hip.
