Explosions are good.
Also, HIPSTERS DONT EXIST. |

I don't get this poll at all. But Anathema.

Nah, it's all cool, you're fine. Your post was fine. Really I shouldn't care at all even if you had though, I just had a migraine headache and when I reread all the negative comments, it made me extremely angry for about 5 minutes. Edited by Failcore - March 07 2013 at 16:52 |

If I am included in the group called, "the internet hate machine," I am so sorry! I, too, love all of these bands and I am genuinely curious about the "hipster" moniker! I've been truly educated by this thread and really appreciate the learning experience herein! My posts were never intended as "hateful" or even sarcastic: I had never heard of the category you referred to as "hipster bands" and wondered why these particular bands have been so labelled. Again, I have been educated and for that I am grateful. (My above referred-to daughter, I've found, though sometimes using the term "hipster" derrogatorily [even calling me a hipster!], owns quite a little Post Rock music.) Anyway, again, FAILCORE and others, I apologize profusely if I have contributed in any way to any anxiety or even surprise on your part. My intentions were quite far from critical--more quizzical. P.S. I voted for Red Sparowes: I LOVE their political motivations.

They're not a huge favorite of mine, but I do like them, especially when I have that Red Sparowes feel. And also, I think they are one of the more unique and unconventional PR acts out there.

In all seriousness, it wasn't my intent to start a huge brouhaha over the definition of a hipster; that was just tongue-in-cheek. It just seemed to me that these bands, despite being vastly different, still share some common qualities, mainly being more passive, introspective music, so I thought it would be neat to compare them. But then the internet hate machine happened. The hipster link came from the fact that many of the people who make up a certain sect of popular counterculture that has been commonly labeled as hipster seem to be attracted to that type of music, for many hypothetical reasons (many of them having to do with consumption of less than legal substances). The reason I sometimes find myself at odds with the so-called "hipsters" is that it seems that some of them express conformism under the guise of non-conformism, which I find disingenuous.
Now, in big letters: I WAS NOT INSULTING ANY OF THE BANDS LISTED HERE!!!!! I happen to love them all and don't care if they are hipsters or not. Edited by Failcore - March 06 2013 at 17:10 |

No worries. You were right of course about what you were saying.

I'm fully aware that within the context of art and literary history, there is a period referred to as "Modern". I prefer not to act like an art historian when I converse on a daily basis, and I think most people would appreciate this decision. |

If we live in a post-modern world, then what kind of world will we be in in 20-30 years? Isn't modern like current? Modern jazz is not really modern anymore, as it's going on 60-70 years old now. How can we live in a post-modern world when we are living in a modern world right now with all the gizmos and gadgets we love so much? The "post" tag means it's not happening anymore, and is the time afterwards. Post-industrial makes sense because we're not a society of factory workers anymore. Like "post-rock" is supposed to mean "after rock", yet, it still sounds like rock to me, just more depressing sounding.

Is this serious? "Modern" meaning "current". mod·ernadjective 1. of or pertaining to present and recent time; not ancient orremote: modern city life. 2. characteristic of present and recent time; contemporary; notantiquated or obsolete: modern viewpoints. 3. of or pertaining to the historical period following the MiddleAges: modern European history. 4. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of contemporary styles of art, literature, music, etc., that reject traditionally accepted orsanctioned forms and emphasize individual experimentation and sensibility.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
