look, i'm not humorless so i can get behind jokes looking back on the hipster era just as much as the next girl who spent too much money at american apparel. But people have GOT to stop associating that scene with stomp clap lumineers shit. it's inaccurate!

Hipster music would be LCD Soundsystem, Animal Collective, Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The xx, The Strokes, The Shins, Modest Mouse, Passion Pit, Fleet Foxes, Phoenix, Beach House, The National, TV on the Radio, Deerhunter, and some others.

To me, the most definitive part of hipster-dom is knowing the most obscure band/scene before everyone else. The constant search for the authentic created tiny micro-generations of hipsters in places like Williamsburg, hence me thinking The Rapture ruled & the Bravery was cringe.

Girls - Album (2009) was the hipster moment. Last echo of 60s SF countercultural down-and-out bohemianism into the recession and just before tech and finance completely swallowed everything, like fuck it let’s hit the beach and have some fun
