To be fair, Strat DID indirectly call me an idiot, and I'm new to the board, so I don't really know where everyone lives. There is enough of a variety of music in all areas that if you seek it out, you will always find something that meets your personal criteria of 'good music.' If you watched the video, you'll see that even though the music may suck, the crowd and the band are enjoying themselves... Isn't that what it's all about?
I was originally offended about being called a Hipster, but then Strat REALLY pissed me off

That's harsh!
Im not wrong though.
Oh, no. You're absolutely correct. We're idiots who live happy, active lifestyles in the most beautiful state in the country. We have the lowest obesity ranking in the country. We were the first to successfully legalize recreational use of pot, setting the standard by which (hopefully) other states will follow. Our taste in music is atrocious, however, we enjoy the fuck out of it... Soooooooo, I completely understand the bitterness of a curmudgeon who lives in an inferior state and sits around bitching about how his favorite band no longer meets his expectations...
For your further edification, I submit to you some of my favorite Reggae jam band bullshit:
Try to enjoy... just once
Uh, dude. Did you see where I live?

I'm pretty sure most of people who picked Daft Punk only heard the songs with Pharell, maybe One More Time

Since I'm new here, let me start over:
My tongue is usually firmly planted in my cheek, especially when I'm bullshitting with complete strangers. No sweat on this end, but the new thread DID catch my eye, and I thought I'd call you out for (indirectly) calling me an idiot.
There really is no 'music scene' anywhere anymore, since the advent of the interwebs, creating a much smaller world and an easier way to develop influences. Music scenes are now created in blogs.
I didn't get to see Bon Iver, but I did get to see The National there back in September

You'll soon realize that everyone here is an idiot! Myself included!
Missed the National show but I was saving up/getting ready to head to see the Replacements at Riot Fest

If you're interested, I'm going to the Gothic on 3/29 to see Toadies... They're not local, but ARE a great rock band from the 90's... from Ft. Worth, TX. They're celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of THIS album:

I have heard of these artists but am certain that I don't want to hear anything further from Drake, David Guetta or Macklemore.

Wow I kinda envy you, he's like, THE MOST FAMOUS/SUCCESSFUL/BESTEST DJ IN THE WORLD around here. The first DJ to achieve rock star status as far as I can tell. He's terrible but what do you expect? He's a DJ.

Ha. She only listens to it in the car and if I'm with her she usually spares me.
