lol buddy. I'm not concerned about being a hipster. I don't doubt that I have my share of hipsterish tendencies. Come on man. Watch that fucking video. That dude is up there in a suit that it looks like something Kesha rejected, with a pair of angel wings on his back, what looks to be a 12 piece band including backup dancers. It all looks like it was designed with a lot of stuff that would be weird for the sake of weird, or just to puff up a song that doesn't need it. All that shit is up there to disguise the fact that without the adornments, he'd just be another singer-songwriter. That's why I'm not a fan of that performance.

Hardcore hipsterdom is stupid, as is hardcore a lot of things. Read the post where I described what Buzzkill's description made me envision. I've met people like that, and they annoy the fuck out of me. There's nothing worse than talking music with someone who thinks they know it all when really, they're just trying to be contrary.

Call me pretentious if you like. Do you even know what the word means? When it comes to music, I'm a populist. I categorically admit that I enjoy songs from pretty much every genre, from mainstream pop to indie stuff. I will take a good 3 minute pop song over an overblown, 25 minute, play-every-instrument-but-the-kitchen-sink-because-we-can song. That's not a song. It's an experiment.

I like some Sufjan Stevens stuff. He's talented. I didn't care for this album. No doubt you wouldn't care for tons of stuff I listen to. I do not care, nor you should you. This is a forum, and I'm expressing an opinion, which some share, and others do not. So don't worry Clox. I'm not the first person to trash this album, and I'm sure Sufjan's not losing any sleep over it, so you don't have to either.
