<br>Indie Hipsters: Scrawny little college kids with Rivers Cuomo glasses and Grizzly Adams beards wearing new "70's retro-style" t-shirts (usually a faux faded Star Wars iron-on), making soulless warmed over music that sounds like mid-period Crosby Stills and Nash. Usually they adopt a cheesy 80's act as a pet (like Hall and Oates or Huey Lewis) and run around sarcastically talking about the genius of it all.
The shitty singer/songwriter music they crank out is a soothing balm to the 60-something grey haired pony-tailed "hippies on the weekend" who hang out at Starbucks, of all places, to feel young again. You'll hear a lot of this wimpy caterwauling on NPR or on the narcoleptic sounds of the World Cafe. These kids would do well to buy a Sonic Youth or Pixies record before it's too late. [;)]

They don't bother me as much as the zillions of mp3's and CD's of the clones I get in every week at the radio station. If I see one more press release from a band that look like they came from central casting, standing in a field somewhere and claiming Gram Parsons is the spirit that haunts their record, I'm gonna jump out this window.
