I don't like Nickelback and Limp Bizkit
I mean, I know the words to some of their songs and will sometimes listen to them on the radio for a laugh
but I don't like them
How about The Dear Hunter?

They exist, in the fuzzy spaces between irony and reality, in the wounds of pop culture.
I've seen them.
Right. But a thing can't at the same time be massively popular AND subculture-specific. That's why bands that become "too popular" are expelled from the subculture that spawned them in the first place.
Now, with most pop music this obviously isn't the case because they are intended to be mainstream in the first place. One could decide to start a band that contains elements of Rock Music but diluted to the point where it becomes accessible to everyone. Then it's pop.
My argument boils down to how one defines rock music though.
Edit: Basically if you can play it anywhere without offending someone it's pop.
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
his voice just makes my blood itch
The Dog-man is real you son of a bitch
this is what I mean
people claim to see them but no one can give proof of their existence
nor can they give the exact same description of what they look like
Tune in to my show "Hipsters of the Great Unknown", Fridays at 8 (9 Central) to see this proof.
I know what hipsters look like
only on the History Channel
or mothmen
I come undone

Ehh... The entire "expensive clothes that are supposed to look old", "dressing like you don't give a fuck while secretly caring very much about your looks" etc. is well established.
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

You would know... my twin from the Hipster dimension.
I'm found out
nothing to do but return to my homeworld
where I'll listen to ironic music and wear ironic hats

Also yes, Rodrigo y Gabriela are fantastic!
Yesssssssssssssss
Well, you already wear hipster hats.
You could stand to work on your taste in music though.
just extended far over their actual range
and given way too much fuck about

my hats are not for hipsters

And while I don't get complaints about Dan Auerbach's voice at all (dude has pretty much the perfect garage blues/rock howl), I was really impressed to hear him bust out a falsetto on the first track of their latest album.

I'm kidding. I love your hats.
Vevo disagrees with you, and won't let me watch it on account of being a filthy canadian.
