I left out some obvious choices such as TMV, Radiohead, and the Decemberists in order to be fair. I generally loathe hipsters and a lot of their music, but I like the more interesting, less cutesy side of hipster music a great deal, I must admit.

I'm a huge Intronaut fan, so they gain my vote. Explosions in the Sky caught my eye, and I don't think they're too hipster comparing the fact that they're one of the more well known post-rock bands and that their music has been featured on TV quite a bit. Good poll though. 
I consider drone metal to be progressive...

I am not sure what a hipster really is, if anything, but I voted for the Ozrics (not to be confused with their American cousins, the Osmonds).

Cynic is a hipster band? When did that happen?
 
"Hipster" seems to have evolved into this general somewhat derogatory term that doesn't really mean anything anymore.
 
No vote.

I don't know how to express myself without being rude, but your username really fits you.

What on earth do any of these bands have ado with hipster?

Maybe you just wanted a flashy title to attract some attention to your poll.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Anyway, voted for Intronaut, amazing band.

Pelican.  Because hipsters are trousers, and a pelican in trousers would be amazing to see.

I thought hipsters were a kind of underwear for women who don't fancy g-strings...
Seem to remember a girl I was fooling around with who wore them. Kinda like hot pants with those feminine fiddly bits that always have to be somewhere on female underwear.
