New My Bloody Valentine and a tour, new Vampire Weekend, Morrissey is okay, and now a tour with Fun. and Tegan and Sara. What a great time for hipsters this week.

Misinterpreter (February 4, 2013)

No hipster listens to Tegan and Sara or Fun.

MN_DrNick (February 4, 2013)

Because they're mainstream?

Misinterpreter (February 4, 2013)

No because they're shit.

MN_DrNick (February 4, 2013)

Yeah...... hipsters listen to plenty of shit though.

Misinterpreter (February 4, 2013)

Like what?

jimmynorville (February 4, 2013)

Odd Future

MN_DrNick (February 4, 2013)

Perfect example.

Misinterpreter (February 4, 2013)

Nah, there's been backlash against Odd Future ever since Tyler, The Creator released Yonkers. And to call all of their material shit is ignorant.

Misinterpreter (February 4, 2013)

Sorry, meant to type Goblin

jimmynorville (February 4, 2013)

I know a lot of hipsters that love Odd Future, certainly not every hipster is going to like them. And I guess it's ignorant to call all their material shit, but I don't enjoy them. I guess it'd be ignorant to call of Fun's songs shit too.

Misinterpreter (February 4, 2013)

I think you'd have to look pretty damn hard to find a hipster that likes Fun. At least since the release of their autotune-heavy latest album, and especially given that Pitchfork completely ignores their existence.

lookingforcorpses (February 4, 2013)

Fun are a total mainstream band and always have been. Definitely not a "hipster," band. If anything, they're like the major label version of a "hipster" act.

imadeanaccountjustforthis (February 4, 2013)

I dated a hipster that likes Fun.

imadeanaccountjustforthis (February 4, 2013)

Every hipster I know loves Odd Future, and Goblin.

dX927 (February 5, 2013)

85% of the Coachella lineup?

ozmanx (February 4, 2013)

Hipsters listen to Morrissey? I thought it was just us Latinos.

droneclone (February 4, 2013)

Haha, that's awesome. Never thought about it before but from my experience, totally true.

the_other_scott (February 5, 2013)

can we just retire the word hipster already? you're looping MVP, Morrissey, Vampire Weekend, Fun, and Tegan & Sara into the same group here.

BarleyPat (February 4, 2013)

Fun. is very unfun.

eazyd2 (February 4, 2013)

genius

Dante3000 (rich) (February 4, 2013)

I realized what I dislike about Fun recently. They're most popular songs sound like they're from a musical. And not a musical where they burst into song, but like one where the ENTIRE thing is a song and they have to sing plot points and reactions dialogue. I'm not saying that makes it bad (hell maybe that's like 100 times harder and more artistic) but it's not my thing.

loki13 (February 4, 2013)

Speaking of musicals...Is the lead singer gay? Not that there is anything wrong with that but he definitely has that musical, flamboyant thing going, just wondering if he has ever mentioned it.

jimmynorville (February 4, 2013)

eazyd2 (February 4, 2013)

of course is he gay

eazyd2 (February 4, 2013)

wheee orrrr wheeee orrr its dante3000 the Fun. police

Misinterpreter (February 4, 2013)

Why are they playing Downsview Park? Is there not enough room at the Air Canada Centre or Molson Amphitheatre for all the teenagers/hockey moms who want to hear them play their 3 singles?

gugl0003 (February 4, 2013)

Edgefest?

Misinterpreter (February 4, 2013)

I doubt it, this tour looks to be separate.

peppermintpattyisalesbian (February 4, 2013)

Why is this on punknews.org?

eazyd2 (February 4, 2013)

as if that fun. song isnt mad. and that bruno mars police song. about 5000 times better than any other bullshit i hear on the radio. not that i listen to the radio unless forced cause im cool like that

MN_DrNick (February 4, 2013)

Fun are a total mainstream band and always have been. Definitely not a "hipster," band. If anything, they're like the major label version of a "hipster" act.

chadreligion (February 4, 2013)

I think Goblin is a solid fuckin record and the production on it is top notch. They use so many different elements of stuff and I enjoy listening to some of odd future's music in the same way I enjoyed listening to The Pharcyde, Wu-tang and early Outkast. Sure not ALL of their stuff is tolerable and their immaturity is probably their biggest weakness with older fans and their strongest point with the younger ones. Fun and Tegan and Sara suck

eazyd2 (February 4, 2013)

shut the fuck up CHAD no one cares about some 40 year old stoner loser opinion on rap music

MN_DrNick (February 4, 2013)

Shut up eazy. Nobody cares about your opinions on Bruno Mars.

eazyd2 (February 4, 2013)

nobody cares about anything you have to say ya fuckin loser you are the most annoying person on this site with nothing interesting to say ever go suck off skibz and die ya fat bitch

MN_DrNick (February 4, 2013)

So you're excited about Fall Out Boy, huh? Do you hope they do shows with All Time Low?

droneclone (February 4, 2013)

I thought that was me?

MN_DrNick (February 4, 2013)

No. You're not angryderek...... or are you?

droneclone (February 4, 2013)

I honestly don't think I could be angryderek if I tried.

MN_DrNick (February 4, 2013)

You mean act like an immature high school brat, post nothing but gay sex and or dick jokes, and no nothing about music?

It's not that hard.

droneclone (February 4, 2013)

No, seriously. I don't think I could do it. I could troll if I wanted to but I don't think I could do the poo poo, pee pee shit.

Actually, just typing that makes me want to kill myself.

jimmynorville (February 4, 2013)

I think Odd Future, Fun. and Tegan and Sara all suck. Do I win a prize for being the most punk?

skibz777 (February 5, 2013)

I've never heard of this Goblin, so when I read any of the posts above, I can't help but think of the Goblin which scored Argento's films in the '70s and get amused at the thought of Williamsburg hipsters digging them.

Goblin, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Mike Oldfield...now that's some hipsterdom I'll put on skinny jeans for. Still not drinking PBR, though.

rparungao (February 5, 2013)

I thought the same. Would be blown away if I walked by my house mate's room and found her listening to the soundtrack of Suspiria.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (February 5, 2013)

The italian Goblin was a hipster thing about 2-3 years ago.
Dangermouse, Chromeo and people like that started sampling their stuff and they played a bunch of hipster festivals.

CT_hatesyou (February 6, 2013)

Fun. write some pretty fucking awesome songs although they have alot of shitty ones. Tegan and Sara are boring. OFWGKTA is fucking great. Especially live. If u think Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler suck as an MCs, you obviously have no business listening to hip hop. Alot of the other members are marginal to terrible, but those two dudes hold it down. Most the beats and production are top notch as well. Yall go listen to boring ass Masked Intruder.
