I’ll bet they also messed up Hüsker Dü for you, am I right? Hipsters love them some Hüsker Dü, in a post-ironic way.

😃 I was thinking the same thing. At 43 I’m way too old to pass for a hipster ( and lord do I despise PBR ), yet now apparently I find myself stuck by association.

I’ll join you in hassling the hipsters, **Tamerlane** , since we’re both “of a particular age” and into similar music… but **NAF1138** - I think claiming to like something before it was cool is a hipster characteristic. :smack:

Pfft. I saw them long before that first album came out, and recordings don’t even begin to capture their sound. Now I don’t bother listening to them at all. Anyway, they’ve changed and sold out.

No you misundersand. I liked it BEFORE the people who liked it before it was cool. Totally different.
