At what point in the transition from the Hold Steady and Yeah Yeah Yeahs to Bon Iver (album of the year my ***) and Destroyer did "indie rock" become Brian-Eno-meets-Kenny-G ambient smooth jazzy garbage? These guys make the Decemberists look like AC/DC. I feel like I need to go do penance at the Church of Joey Ramone to purify my ears.

I really dislike Bon Iver. They get a ton of play on the station I listen to. UGH. Just hearing the lead singer's voice makes me want to punch him in the face.

You do realize that there are plenty of harder edged indie bands, stop reading Pitchfork! (have no idea of Pitchfork's taste anymore, but I do know they haven't gotten better since I stopped reading them about 6 years ago) Also, front man of Hold Steady: Minnesotan, front man of Bon Iver: Wisconsinite. Coincidence?

You're a hipster who's too cool for Pitchfork? JFC, that's like the Bible to hipsters.

You must be like some kind of super-hipster. Hipster 2.0.

If they don't play it on K102...then I probably don't know it. There is some rock, and 80's stuff that I know, though.

edit: And Brantley, he's mostly rock with some country songs, and listen to him right now!

Honestly, Pitchfork's been dead to the 'hipster' community for quite some time. I just went to their homepage and they have stuff on Amy Winehouse, ?uestlove, Big Boi, Trent Reznor/Karen O, and Nicki Minaj...not exactly indie staples. And I know they have a hard-on for Kanye and Jay-Z and a ton of other big names that don't need the recognition. I still mostly read http://www.adequacy.net/ and http://www.tinymixtapes.com/ for music. But at the end of the day I usually just check out local bands who will never be bigger than the dive venues in town, and I'm fine with that.

Yep, I know there are (I'm enjoying Neon Trees at the moment), I'm just sorta mystified by the adulation for this stuff. I'm not really a huge fan of Pitchfork, but I will confess that I love reading lists, and theirs is long and occasionally entertaining, if aggravating.

Also, Les Paul was from Wisconsin, which makes up for a lot of Bon Iver.

Beer at White Castle? Hmmm... I like that idea. After a few beers it might make those burgers taste better because I can't stomach one in my right mind.

indie rock and hipster music is a blight upon this good Earf. We much quash it before it ruins more upper middle class white suburban kids.

If it wasn't for the beard, I'd have thought that was a chick.

This guy screams "helllllloooooooooo" if you know what I mean.
