Actually, I think people have taken them fairly well, although it still amazes me how you can form such a strong opinion based on 1 night [/b]
really. . .oooh, they don't sound like the pixies, ergo, they suck.

some people think otherwise. I love it when hipsters are in denial.

 Off the top of my head I have come up with a Top Ten Most Deplorable Hipster Attributes (this is not confined to one area of identification, but rather spans everything from what they wear to what views they hold and where they reside, and this is by no means set in stone): Here we go!
 
 10. Hails from the Midwest, lives somewhere in Brooklyn.
 
 9. Owns at least two Guided By Voices albums.
 
 8. Firmly believes that Ralph Nader should have won the 2000 presidential election.
 
 7. General arts over-education (i.e. has either designs to attend graduate school, is in graduate school or has gone to graduate school)
 
 6. Parents shoulder some of his/her financial burden.
 
 5. Owns at least three too tight T-shirts adorned with dated symbols (usually fuzzy or shiny/decal) with which he/she has absolutely no knowledge or connection.
 
 4. Can readily and willfully recall the theme song from at least one television sitcom that was cancelled before his/her birth.
 
 3. Will consciously muss and/or neglect to wash hair in order to achieve a 'look.' (male only)
 
 2. Is of the opinion that 'Pet Sounds' is the greatest Beach Boys album (a comment generally follow by this statement): 'rivaling the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.'
 
 1. Insists on calling movies 'film,' insists on calling concerts 'shows.'

we aren't talking about Radiohead, and if you ever saw a room full of your average GBV fan you would not call them hipsters [/b]

I don't take the GBV jokes badly, I just think y'all are out of your gords.

Well I can say that GBV is better than Superdrag, now there's a band with no stage presence.

I always heard they should have been called Guided by Beers.  Another band name ill-suited for the band would be the Pixies.

not meant to single out you, sorry.
 
    those bands are two bands that a number of people on this board talk about, that's why I mentioned them.
 
    i think the fact that we all sit around and talk on a music chatboard all day pretty much qualifies us as hipsters to a certain degree. Embrace your inner hipster.
 
    i nearly wet my pants with laughter one time when Kosmo claimed he wasn't a hipster. The guys in his 40's, still going to rock shows on a regular basis, dyes his hair, wears funky clothes and glasses, drives a mini, and listens to garage rock...and he's not a hipster? hahahahahahaha

From the great book "Rock Names"
 
 The Pixies - The band formed in Boston in 1986.  The name was chosen by lead guitarist Joey Santiago after flipping through a dictionary and was okayed by the band because they liked the fact that it didn't have any real relevance to their sound...
 
 So you are right, by their own admision.

Wow, I miserably failed that hipster quiz.
