I might be turned off by the fact that what's-her-face seems to be the worst kind of L.A. hipster.

The first record was great, but everything after was not so much.

What's your evidence? Someone I know (and who is a good friend of someone else on this board) toured with her/them last year and said she was normal/down-to-earth, etc.

And Best Coast are great, especially from Crazy for You on. The Only Place is just as terrific IMO. I like the early singles, too, and have followed them since then but they didn't get truly great until that 1st Lp. The iTunes session they did is excellent, too.

I liked them on Facebook, that's how I know. I'm not saying she's an asshole, but she is clearly a hipster, almost to the point of parody.

I've thought this since I first followed her on Twitter. I'm not saying she's not nice, or cool, or whatever...but the stuff she posts is embarrassing most times. Though I feel like lately she's toned it down and even set up a new instagram solely devoted to Seinfeld which is awesome.

1. I am totally consistent on this one, as I don't care about her or her band. The few songs I have heard were dreadfully boring.

2. It makes me sad when hipsters turn on each other. You should be supporting her version sound, not tearing her down.

"Hipster" is just one of those words that bugs me because no one quite knows what it is, yet it's used in everyday parlance as an insult like there's some clearly established definition. I don't know her and for all I know, IRL I could find her annoying (or not), but I guess this makes me glad I don't really look at their FB page (I like them, too) or her Twitter all that often.

Yeah I'm indifferent to most of the stuff she posts (just checked it out), but it is cool that Elaine holding a Budweiser is her background pic on Twitter.

"Hipster" can mean many things and high waisted eighties style shorts with an oversized vintage Public Enemy shirt is undeniably one of them.

I get that and agree somewhat, but it's kind of a slur/swear word at this point and the lack of definition just ultimately makes it meaningless.

The old ladies (well, ones in their 40s) in the AR department at work like to call one guy a hipster because he has a messenger bag.

It's reached that level of dilution.

Exactly! I've had a messenger bag of one sort or another since the early '00s because they are convenient (especially on a bike or riding public transportation) and (I admit) stylish and I make no apologies. :lol:

And who are you callin' old? I'm pushing 40 myself. :lol:

I agree. And I love Best Coast, but honestly she is the textbook definition of hipster IMO.

I seriously doubt he was banned. Unless I missed something, he never did anything ban-worthy. Has he tried recovering or resetting his password?

Oy, she's kind of a kook. She's getting married in October. We're not going, though because we already RSVPed for another wedding we knew about 6 months in advance. We were invited to my cousin's wedding by a Facebook post two months before the event. My aunt is upset we're not coming, but whatevs. If they had thier shit together, maybe it would be a different story.

This. If they didn't bother to send a proper wedding invitation or tell you about it beforehand (not sure if they did the latter or not), you have every right to skip it especially since you have another wedding to go to.

Nothing in particular. A trucker hat is a trucker hat is a trucker hat, be it in LA, Brooklyn, Philly, or anywhere else.

Indeed (and it's very early '00s, FWIW), but you specifically said "LA hipster" in your first post to this thread, so I was just wondering.

I think regional hipster flavors differ to a minor extent, but there isn't much that wouldn't be universally recognized.
