I just gave Wavves a listen and they're not as terrible as everyone would have me believe, might just investigate further.

I hate hipster bands because their very designation as such suggests a sort of no-win situation for someone discovering them after they have been given that lable. No-win in terms of mutual "respect" for music tastes. But hipsters are by and large hypocritical to the core much like any group of self-supposed elitists. Why should I feel guilty if I discover Times New Viking or The Pains of Being Pure at Heart slightly behind the bloggers of the hipster community? Bah!

....but there also bands like interpol, arcade fire, and the rapture(best album of the year my ass!) that can burn in hell, plus the writing is obnoxious, upper middle class college kid jive that makes me want to hurl.
Well since they are the greatest band of all time thats pretty understandable.

Tbf to Pitchfork actually they do review a variety of things that you'd be surprised they would, i saw a glowing review of Phantom Limb by Pig Destroyer on there a while back and i'd hardly describe them as a 'hipster band' at all, so i wouldn't be surprised if they'd reviewed more hardcore than simply The Chemistry Of Common Life.

Independent bands do catch alot of undeserved flack around here, most of the bands I listen to would be considered indie or have been 'hyped' by pitchfork at one point or another, but whatever, I like what I like.

Animal Collective is one of my favorite bands and I own a fixed gear bike, **** off.
