Hipsters and other people who don't know any better like to say The Beatles were not great musicians. I think we all know how wrong that is.
Hipsters, as they are called are just kids growing up. Think they know it all and have no time for exploring, questioning, learning, researching, comparing... Think that what they like is all that counts. We all went through that stage. I laugh at people like that, cos when they grow up they see "nothing's new under the sun" as John once said. The wheel turns.
Very similar to the "goth" crowd, who were the hipsters of my era. And I laughed at 'em, too -- well, not directly at them. Didn't want to be a jerk just because some people were incapable of fitting in on their own merits. But, like hipsters (who were, supposedly, counter-culture non-conformists) they all dressed alike, talked alike, ate alike, judged alike and even walked alike. True individualists.
However, to the goth crowd's credit: At least, when they wore eye-glasses, their frames actually had lenses.Ha ha! As one who HAS to wear glasses, I do find it perplexing that some choose to wear them as a fashion statement.... What ever happened to the old days where one would get into an argument and the choice retort from a meathead was, "Shut up, four eyes".... Another reason I love John. He made them trendy. And now, the hipsters are right on to it. Big frames. No glasses in them. Well, at least nothing prescribed by an optomitrist.... The granny glasses are going to come back in fashion, just you wait!

The Undercut hairstyle that hipster males don is part of the uniform, too. And beards are in -- big time. OK -- what topic is this thread again?

Yeah, like if you released a record and topped the Billboard Indie charts and you'd say; no thanks, no hipsters are welcome in my AUDIence...
EDIT ______________________________________________________ The chances of me topping any chart ever are about as likely as a hooker taking a check. (rim-shot goes here) With that said: I'd like to think that anyone who'd come to see lil' ol' me would leave feeling like they don't have to conform to any group, and that social status, while nice, is a superficial reality. Like Lennon (allegedly) said: "Being honest may not get you a lot of friends, but it'll get you the right ones."

...well yes, better cash in that case. -
OK...not my best self-deprecating zinger. (tough room)

I take checks, audi. Don't worry about it. Of course every artist dreams about mine otherwordly, legendary and 'too good to be true' taste in music, but there is nothing wrong with ordinary listeners in the audience. Embrace them!

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I've NEVER been able to grasp the intro to "Drive My Car." Can anybody break that one down for me?

I think it's basically a sixteenth note drum fill spread across snare and toms. Breakdown would look like this: 1 E and A 2 E and A 3 (1 E and A= Snare, snare, tom, snare 2 E and A= Snare, snare, tom, snare And the crash comes in at the count of 3) Does that make sense?

Numerically, almost.
What do the variables "E" and "A" represent in this context? -
