Hipster: One who possesses tastes, social attitudes, and opinions deemed cool by the cool.


Along with the rest of America, I am constantly attempting to draw in a younger, hipper crowd. So, in honor of that attempt, I will pass on some of what the hipsters are listening to these days… so grab a bronson (beer) and get ready to bust a moby (dance), because I asked my fabulously hip cousin what she had on her playlist this week and she passed along some bands for our listening pleasure:

Sigur Ros
"An Icelandic ambient band," is what my cousin described them as… I was not sure what this meant, but I did ended up buying a few tracks. I’m trendy and diverse like that.


Animal Collective

A psychedelic experimental Indie band. Hit the hash pipe and give it a listen.

Panda Bear
Some of the group is in the aforementioned Animal Collective. She describes them as having a Beach Boys sound.... I would say it has a Pink Floyd flavor myself.

Justice
Similar to daft punk.

Broken Social Scene

Before Feist was famous and was on apple and verizon commercials. I bought "Cause=Time."

The Hood Internet
Chicago mash up band.
