Anybody who actually is so absorbed by the made-up media-fueled "Pitchfork Age" that they see 'bizarre hipster crap' as a valid musical insult seriously needs to rethink their approach to music, as it comes off terribly arrogant and misinformed. Anytime I see the words "pretentious" or "hipster garbage" in a review or statement of some kind, I immediately stop reading it 90% of the time.
Also, jazz standards that you're forced to play in school bands will ruin the genre for you unless you make it your goal to experience more of the genre; Upon playing standards from boring modern "I want money so here's a 12-bar-blues jazz piece" composers, I finally gave the real genre a try.
