Last couple weeks I have witness many hipstery types on fb saying how amazing James Blake is.

Initially I am impressed...then I realise they think this only because Annie Mac/Zane Low/Nick Grimshaw told them.

In related news, that Kissy Sell out is possibly my new favourite Radio 1 DJ to hate hard on. (That's hate on, hard...not to hate his hard on....he's gotta get his too innit).

It was Radio 6 at about 1pm. It's left on in the photography department (the basement). It's fairly mindless drivel, then every now & then I'll be like

I know this...

The other day Grinderman was played about the same time, followed by a Hendrix track. On lunchtime BBC Radio, what's happening to the world...

I'm telling you, it's Pitchfork. They put his releases on a best albums of 2010 list even though they were all EPs.

Hipsters dont listen to music... they 'get' it

Pitchfork are ghey.

A mate of mine is into Indie music...all the shit that hipster kids are *currently* into...he heard James Blake and just really doesn't get it...his words were "I don't get it". He honestly likes the indie music the 'cool' kids like...and he thinks it's shit...so how can all those kids get it? (I know...one persons tastes don't equate to an entire group of people....but, I tend to judge what indie, hipstery type music people listen to by what he likes...if you get me..).

If they like James Blake for honest reasons (you know, him being amazing and that..)...that is super. But...I highly doubt a lot of them do.

do you mean the concept where they take old fashion and put them to use in an ironic, "campy" way then when the "mainstream" adopts it they move on to the next forgotten fashion and revive it in the same manner? yah there is absolutely nothing revolutionary or political in that.
more they have stayed with the 80s style for quite a while, & yeah campy as fuck!

They don't necessarily more on... the next generation does it for them.

"revolutionary without a backbone" - by this I mean... people that will hold alot of ideals about the need for social change & idolise Che Guevara, yet at the first moment of confrontation... are the first to backdown.

I know exactly the type of people you're talking about and they're about as far from a "hipster" as you can get.

and the 80s style is well mainstream now and a lot of "hipsters" go pick their style somewhere else. the 50s and 60s, and early 90s hip hop for example.

The current trend seems to be the quilted barbour type jackets. in fact, anything quilted seems to be the fashionable thing at the moment.

i know in london they've been in for a while but people haven't long caught on to them further up north....
