      <![CDATA[Interestingly after reading about the Hipster Demolition Night and reading the blog on L magazine something came to mind, the fact that these cultural situations keep going in cycles. My point is that the same thing that is going on now with the "hipsters" VS the power poppers or garage rockers in Brooklyn is the same exact thing that happened to the band Radio City that I co founded with Gary Feldman in 1977.

Well, you could just read the reviews to figure that out. And it's totally reasonable to disagree.

      <![CDATA[The problem most rock fans have with Hipsterism and is that Hipsters(I call em Scenesters, because I actually know hip people who are original even if they *seem* to be hipsters)  generally consider it uncool to be seen TRYING HARD or to bother to learn how to play their instruments PROFICIENTLY. Some hipster apologist suggested on here that there was something inherently "wrong" with self-proclaimed rock n roll "lifers"...But consider this: it takes a lifetime commitment to become and stay proficient on an instrument (for most musicians).

      <![CDATA[You realize (you don't realize) that you sound just like an old hippie who was confused by the "balls-y" (read: narrowly-influenced guitar thrash) brand of early eighties music that you now lionize as the utmost pinnacle of musical achievement? It never got better than seeing Canned Heat in '68, man! I wasn't there (and neither were you) but the books I've read make me think that punk didn't use to be about burying your head in a hole and refusing to come out, or acknowledge the moment, like at all.

      <![CDATA[To the L Magazine music section and self proclaimed “hipsters”,  <br>
The music section of your magazine is part of an unchecked circle jerk, promotion for non-threatening, market trend music and bad, impersonal style whose time will pass and be reflected on with agonizing shame (not, I took money to petition for a 9-11 conspiracy group in Union Square shame but close.) If the day is coming when a New Yorker proudly proclaims that he or she was there when Dear Parts played the Market (aptly named) Hotel, just like an old timer talks about seeing Johnny Thunders at Max’s, I for one will certainly be bummed to have lived here during this time.
