I'm guilty of a few of these

quote:

10. "I grew up with them."
9. "The radio ruined that song."
8. "I only like their early stuff."
7. "My friend used to date the lead singer."
6. "This is the most important album of the decade."
5. "Their single is the worst song on the album."
4. "Have you heard their side project?"
3. "I like the [insert unknown producer here] remix better."
2. "I was into them, like, two years ago."
1. "They're actually not that good live!"

I'm pretty sure each of those statements have been used on this board.

This is very often a pretty true statement though

Normally true. So many bands suck live nowadays. Bands used to make their bones playing live, now its an afterthought. It f'n sucks.

This can be a legit criticism regardless of the level of hipsterism

By not only hipsters but every other type of person. I say many of those because they are often true.

i agree, but it's also not true of every single thing a person listens to, or that someone else listens to...there are people who make comments like this about EVERYTHING...because they're so cool, i guess.

most of those would be pretty standard in any music conversation, and often totally accurate


kind of lame list, really.

Most of these are legit opinions when talking to someone about the preference of a band

ETA: Hipster reference is dumb

Wow, hipsters are so stupid. Why can't they just not have so many opinions about music and just accept what Ryan Seacrest tells them is the hot new thing?

which is really arse backwards since most people steal music these days and the best way to make $ as a band is to tour relentlessly.

if any of you have never met someone who will recommend a band to you whole-heartedly because they know you aren't familiar with it, then they decide the band is total crap after you've listened and like them too, consider yourself lucky

eta: i assumed this was referring to those people who will be contrary, just for the sake of some misguided sense of superiority.

Does this mean that this board is 75% Hipster?

I can say this about almost all my favorite bands. Steely Dan is a notable exception.
