Their embrace of camp is interesting.

So what is a hipster exactly? I know nothing about them aside from the fact that I most definitely do not qualify as one.

~more to be added at will~

pitchfork is a joke.

note how they raved about memory tapes and morning benders, but slagged both of them at sxsw.
there is a formula about how to succeed on pitchfork. you're better off just searching allmusic.

This reminds me that I've never seen PBR in my part of the flyover country.

Pitchfork actually covers a lot of good stuff, just ignore stuff they hype up and put the best new music stamp on (a few exceptions).

Beer for the most part is shit. Unless you want to pay $9 a beer for microbrew beer that tastes like absolutely nothing but hops.

"Electronica does not exist. Not as a genre or a description. It was coined by the North American music press to refer to the second wave of electronic music's explosion in the late 90s, and exists purely as a marketing buzzword, not any actual quantifiable branch of music (the first wave of electronic music, incidentally, they called 'techno', and, having driven the word into the ground beyond all sense of meaning, they couldn't keep using it if they wished to re-market the music). Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Prodigy's 'Fat of the Land', Chemical Brothers and other big-time stars of that period were all called "electronica" at one point or another, but the person who really popularized it in the public consciousness was Madonna and her shallow, William Orbit-produced piss-poor attempt at appropriating trance music as something she invented (Ray of Light). She used that word all the damn time in interviews. God I hate her. So yeah: There is no such thing as electronica. I want each and every one of you to stop calling it that, because it makes you sound like a god damn retard. If you want to talk about the music as a whole, simply call it what it is: "electronic music" (or EDM--Electronic Dance Music--for the club/rave stuff). This is a PSA from the Official Electronic Music Genre Standards and Classifications Consortium."

I enjoy cheap beer in an ice-cold can in an entirely unironic way, whether it's PBR or Bud or whatever. Just about any beer is drinkable if it's cold enough.

Anytime i've ever linked a entry from hipsterrunnoff it's usually pretty good. Don't read it much but the articles about music and introspection are good though some of the other random stuff is pretty dumb
