The Worst Hipster Bands EVERMusic1 min read LA Weekly made a list of the 20 worst hipster bands and this is how they sell it. On its surface hipsterdom seems to be an individuality-grab, but most of today’s 20 and 30-something bands from Silver Lake and Williamsburg sound shockingly similar. They’re all playing variations of retro garage and soul music — or bringing glockenspiels and choirs on incestuous nationwide tours — all the while clad in vintage garb likely infested with lice. We’re not saying that they should be outlawed by, like, Congress or something. Just that they should be avoided. Don’t worry, your favorite band made the list. 20 The Black Keys19 TV On The Radio18 Sleigh Bells17 fun.16 MGMT15 Death Cab For Cutie14 Wavves13 The Decemberists12 Pomplamoose11 Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros10 White Rabbits09 Beach House08 The Airborne Toxic Event07 Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti06 Beirut05 Grizzly Bear04 Bright Eyes03 Arcade Fire02 tUnE-yArDs01 Bon Iver Go to their website to learn the breakdown.
