The 20 Worst Hipster Bands

[Melissa W.]

My DH is going to have a laugh hearing his play list is hipster. He is so far from hipster.

reeve, I am with you. I don't give a crap that people don't like what I like...

I will say the Sleigh Bells has catch music but the song is about freaking nothing.
I think DH made me listen to it twice to figure out wtf they were saying.

I guess I like "hipster music", although I think of it as alt rock.

I really like a lot of Death Cab stuff (Dyl even proposed while a Death Cab song was playing. Awwww)
Others that I either like or love that made the list:
Black Keys
Fun.
The Decemberists (LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE - got to see them in concert)
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
The Airborne Toxic Event
Bright Eyes
Arcade Fire

Basically, I think this guy just wants to sound cool by bashing popular music. "Oh look how awesome I am! I am way too cool for popular music!"

I totally agree with all of this. And I LOVE Bright Eyes and Arcade Fire.

Ditto...they've pretty much named most of my DHs iTunes purchases in the past 3 years. I'm surprised Dawes and Mumford and Sons isn't on here too

Yeah I don't really know any of those bands. The only thing I recognized is the chick from the Decemberists and my first thought was, "Oh! Sparkle Pony!" I also just discovered "Portlandia" on Netflix (hilarious!)

So anything that isn't girl pop or boy band is now hipster? Mmkay.... I love fun. and Death Cab. Both are great live. Like pps said, I may not like the other ones, but I respect them as musicians.
