True, it might look like 'Save The World' was made just for them.

What I don't understand is how they can review dance music when they've probably never been to a rave. Isn't that kind of missing the point? On one hand, they're looking at it from a different perspective, and that's fine, but on the other hand, their knowledge is often limited only to what's cool, so they have a very narrow-minded view of it.

Can't we all just get along?

I'm sure we've all referred to some indie song with an incorrect genre term (what do you call 'Sigur Ros', um, dream noise? hope-n-roll?).

Surely we can forgive one of "them" for referring to the epic Couleurs as "minimal."

As a side note, Nefardec, you live in Williamsburg? I'm moving to Fort Greene in June, and I'm really looking forward to meeting some gentrifying Brooklyn hipsters.

No! I swear!

Also, now that I think about it for a minute, anyone whose into indie music and reads pitchfork with any regularity (I know I do...) should know that M83 is literally the
posterchild for maximal, not minimal--so I guess that is kinda in-bounds to dis them for messing up on their own genre-turf.

Ahh. I read it as "meeting some gentrifying Brooklyn hipsters [like you]."

oh you will

they are everywhere


maybe eventually you will come to cherish their helpless ridiculousness like i do. they are precious, like their music. and hipster girls can be quite attractive

you get the feeling that most of them were nerds in high school who always wanted to be cool and when they move to williamsburg they feel like kings of their own precious world

Austin (about an hour from me) is the hipster capital of the south.

I blame Pitchfork.
