Thurston Moore has moved into my neighbourhood and he's writing shitty articles about it in hipster magazines which is going to bring more twats in who are going to drive the rent up even more. I’ve seen him in the local pub with his girlfriend who's young enough to be his daughter. Thurston out!

maybe this should be in the hipsters thread...

I've been on the receiving end of this clique-protective hatred many times; when I dared to start drinking in The Liberty in Cork, when I had the gall to start drinking in The Foggy Dew, when I moved to Stoneybatter....well that was mostly self-loathing when I copped it had become hipster heaven and I was ''one of them"

Nobody really gives a shit about any of this right?

I mean we all just joke about it and do what we do.

Let's just say I know how the nerds feel when the cool kids mock them in high school movies

It's a pain that never ends

Is the rent any cheaper in the area where you work?

No, I work in the West End. You don't really live there.

You don't really live there.

You're just fabulous there?

His girlfriend is ridiculously young (maybe looking) though. He offered me cookies at Whelans but he wasn't hipster enough to have gluten free ones yet.

Wow. She totally looks younger. Go her.

Yeah but he's about 78 though, right?

In the pub last night I told a colleague he reminded me of Patrick Bateman and now he’s pissed off with me. Don’t drink with work!

 

[Unicron]

You'd best not go to his flat either.

Tbh, its not the worst comparison – Pat Bateman is a rich, good looking dude and a snappy dresser. I’d be pleased with that!

Those articles Owen Pallett keeps writing where he "explains" pop music just read like this to me

I think they're spread out on several different publications over the last few months but here's the most recent:

A Professional Musician Explains What Makes A Hit

to be fair, he's probably just trying to make a bit of money that he won't get from record sales in this day and age

The most notable thing I’ve noticed about Haim is this unique melodic thing. Their voices loooooove the 4th note (‘fa’) of the scale. They love to hit it, hold it and suspend it way longer than anyone else. The movement from the 4th note of the scale to the 3rd note — often deployed as a 4-3 suspension, Google for more — it’s full-fat, full-sugar. The richest dessert in tonal harmony.

Wow. i lasted four sentences.
