You feel like a hipster/indie kid when you tell people you like Modest Mouse, Death Cab For Cutie, and She and Him, especially if they don't know who they are, amirite?

Same thing for Beck. anybody heard of Beck?

Lol, I first heard of Beck through Futurama.

I like some bands/music that is way more underground than what some 'hipsters' listen to. Not bashing any of the mentioned bands, just saying-NONE of you have heard of twiztid or (hed) PE or Primus ^yes I have heard of beck

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I've heard of all three of them...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'll give you that for knowing of twiztid, you are probly the only one

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Heard of em. (hed) PE is OK. I would say they are underground but not unheard of... Suburban Noize Records is good overall though.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Primus and hed(pe)? Really? Those are what you use as examples of "underground" music?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I could have used better examples I have many more I was just thinking on the fly, I said primus mainly because they are very unique. But seriously not everyone has heard of those bands Nobosy said anything about twiztid they are on psychopathic records which is ALL underground I also attend one of the largest underground music festivals in America, in which Hed PE preforms-you also have to stay up till 4:30 am to see them cus thats when they come on, if thats not underground...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I've heard of hed pe. Bunch of songs about fuckin.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Not all of them, a lot are about revolution and whatnot

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Primus isn't really that underground... just saying. Everyone I've talked to ever has heard of them...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I tossed primus in there because they are unique and honestly I didnt really think majority of amirite crowd would dig. They have a big following tho but hey Insane clown posse has a big following and they are underground

Lets see Wolfpac Dark Lotus Mushroomhead Johnny Hobo and the freight trains Has anyone heard of The Gathering of the Juggalos?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I haven't made any effort whatsoever at knowing "hipster" bands but even I know twiztid

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Thats cool, I just figured like nobody did at least on here. Usually the only psychopathic band people know is insane clown posse, and usually on here is people talkin shit about them. There is a whole lot more to psychopathic records than just icp. I also wouldnt consider myself a hipster, I just love underground.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

what I meant by not making an effort wit the genre is I completely ignored icp, never cared, but all the other stuff got to me anyways. Curiosity, since when is icp considered hipster?

I hate hipsters.

great wayy to make friendss here. But yeah i hate extreme ones. I know ths vegan girl with curly hair only shops vintage and wont listen to mainstream music. I mean, im sorry but what happens if the band you like becomes mainstream? And idk she just bugs me.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I definitely agree with that, because those types of "Hipsters" tend to try to be Hipster. But overall, I have nothing against them.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i know! And its so annoying! And she tries to sound cooler by making her voice deeper its just like uugghhh. And she has records still i mean cool. But really? she just tries too hard. Annd for fun she goes to art exhibits at the museum. She smokes. And all that jazz. Shes 15.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I could care less about making friends on amirite. I mean, it's the Internet. Not here to please. Hipsters are just too mainstream anyway, I liked them better when they were more underground.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

haha true. And yeah hipsters should stop being so "mainstream" too. I know so many now.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

All hipsters are so contradictory, they think they're all non-conformist, but there's so many of them now, they're all the same. D:

by Anonymous 13 years ago

exactly. Theyre one of my biggest pet peeves.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I get the other stuff, but what's so hipster about curly hair?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

its just a stereotyped hippie thing for me. Like if your already hippie it just adds it it, idk how to describe it.

You're not the only one.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Can't believe this got homepaged, thanks guys. I'm not really a hipster, I just like some bands that people consider "indie/hipster" these are just three examples.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't really think that these are that obscure or unheard of though. They're all signed to record labels now.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm pretty sure a lot of people have heard of Death Cab for Cutie.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Not where I live. Again, it was just 3 examples.

The boyfriend likes Modest Mouse. He's in no way a hipster though. :P

by Anonymous 13 years ago

How are Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie "hipster"? And people saying Beck? Beck has been around forever.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I showed someone my iPod, which had DCFC and Modest Mouse on it, and they called me hipster. Don't agree with Beck though.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Can someone explain "hipster" to me? Someone who listens to music that isn't crap and what else?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Someone who isn't mainstream, wears not too mainbrand clothes, listens to non-mainstream music (which would be not crap). They pretty much hate anything mainstream. "I liked it before it was popular," and stuff like that. For reference, search Hipster Hitler and Hipster Kitty.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Oh cool. Even more "non-conformist" assholes.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't get into the whole act, just the music bit.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't understand why it's being called "hipster". It's just alternative rock and it's been around for a while.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I didn't come up with the term...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The term has been around since at least the 60s, possibly longer. The ubermodern usage of the word tends to refer to people like the ones on this website: http://www.latfh.com/

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yep, there they are. I expected more Starbucks cups.

Thanks for this information on this "hipster" thing. I've only heard of it recently so I didn't know anything about it. It seems kinda dumb...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I love She & Him, but I don't really ever feel like a hipster when I tell people that.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

She & Him isn't really hipster, just great music that is under-appreciated.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

hipster= going against being mainstream to seem cool. wait, what? i like a lot of indie stuff and some alternative that is closer to mainstream. what ive been listening to a whole lot lately is neutral milk hotel, anybody heard the 'in the aeroplane over the sea' album?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(NO!!!): Yeah. People consider that hipster/indie as well. I'm not one of the "You listen to popular music, you must die" type, I just enjoy good music. Good music just happens to be underground/non-mainstream.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

mainstream music is probably good to some people, but really its just whats catchy and at least a bit provacative and will get stuck in your head

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(NO!!!): Yep.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(NO!!!): Eh some people listen to obscure music simply cus they like it and not trying to just be cool

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i meant to say that the 'hipsters' often like the obscure music for the sole purpose of it being obscure. some obscure music sucks ass, while a lot of it is much much better then the mainstream stuff. but its idiotic to like a band because they have an 'ironic' name and nobody knows them

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(NO!!!): most definitely agree then

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Those are like indie music 101 bands and if people call you a hipster based on those three bands then I feel sorry for the music that your town/city listens to.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They were three well known "hipster" bands off the top of my head. My town is really Pop oriented, so anything not mainstream is "hipster" here.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

What about.. fun. Paper Route Tokyo Police Club The Format Freelance Whales Cold War Kids Some of my favorite hipster bands :D

Alot of people have heard of Death Cab For Cutie. I heard them on the movie The Invisibles which came out forever ago (great movie by the way lol). They've been on the radio a lot too. I hate the hipster kids at my school, they're essentially just the scene kids. There's this one kid who I can make up bands and just so it looks like he knows everything there is to know about music, he acts like he has listened to them forever. lol its funny but irritating.
