Arcade Fire's latest album and the decline of music criticism
Hipsters have an easy time dismissing Arcade Fire, the Canadian rock band that took home the Album of the Year Grammy for 2010's The Suburbs.

That's a terrible lede. Hipsters f'n LOVE Arcade Fire. They are the Unofficial Hipster Champions.

Oh, I agree its a near meaningless term, but any possible definition would include Arcade Fire fans. If we call Pitchfork and the AV Club the "hipster media", they have consistently fawned over Arcade Fire.

I don't think "hipsters" are digging arcade fire these days.
I feel like they most likely think they are "too mainstream" and they "sold out" etc

I think that's his point though... are reviewers really digging into this album?
or are they just buying the hype that merge records pays people to hype it up?

Well to the real hardcore hipster that only buys bootleg vinyl of like underground Ukrainian jazz, Arcade Fire are a bunch of fricking sell outs

Precisely
I haven't listened to this record all the way through yet. But I've liked what I've heard.
I thought suburbs was good but probably a little stiff.

I don't think the word hipster really holds any significant merit anymore.
