Once again, No offense intended, but Who is Chromeo?

hipster music

They play this sort of blend of hip hop, disco and electro. I'm not entirely sure what made them "big", the only tracks I know from them are Needy Girl and Bonafide Lovin'. I suppose they're popular with the kids these days, think Ed Banger crew kids.

they're really well done, the keyboardist has been a producer/song writer for many bands & people. The lead singers little brother is A-Trak (who was like the youngest DMC champion ever and had a #1 on beatport with his remix of Boyz Noise)

A Jew and a Muslim.

P.S. Lifelike Remix of Needy Girl is ace.

yeah... the sound is HUGE with the youngsters.

I went to promote at both a MSTRKRAFT and JUSTICE party (2 different events) and the place was just filled with kids. Could not believe it.

Its like all the EMO kids went back to the mall and have converted into hipsters.

lol pretty much

Very much oriented for the MSTRKRFT/Justice fans.

Check out their MySpace. Calling the event "a bit guido". Nothing says "I love LA" than calling Giant/Insomniac guido central.

Great article and very right on. I think my favorite line, although I had many favs is "The dance floor at a hipster party looks like it should be surrounded by quotation marks."
Good stuff.

That article is retarded, and hipsters are not the death of western society, Soulja-Boy is.

"hipster" is just a convenient way to label tons of people who stand out too much.

There are idiots in every social arena, not just this particular scene, and the sooner people realize that the sooner I won't have to put up with this insane amount of generalizing and stereotyping that is no better than the people it seeks to criticize.

I agree and disagree clovis. Hipsters do it for fashion trend, not just because they stand out. It promotes it, if anything.

Posted by 72hrpartyanimal on Aug-01-2008 04:03:

But I am stonerrrrrr!!!

OHHH YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Very good point.

As one of the oldest (Un-happily) people here I can tell you this

10 years ago - These Grunge kids are going to be the death of western culture

20 years ago - These Yuppies are going to be the death of western culture

30 years ago - These Nixon kids are going to be the death of western culture

40 years ago - These Squares are going to be the death of western culture..

Get my point???

Leave them be.. If they are as goofy and as bad as all that, they will die out on their own.
