>Apparently an artist is a "hipster" if they make good,
interesting, and new music, that turns a few heads outside of the
narrow world of this email list.
it depends. if by turning heads you mean being listened to by the
same kind of people who dig electroclash or glitch house or
whatever the hipster electronic music to like was last month, then
youre right. you dont get too many electroclash heads suddenly
getting hyped up on UR despite their continually high quality
output. theyre not hipster techno.
>I'll say this, however, Mathew Jonson music is very much in the
313 tradition the way he uses synth lines, chords, and a fairly
stripped down sound - hey, wait a second, maybe all good techno
is "hipster"! If you don't like "hipster" techno, I bet there's a
pretty good chance you don't like a lot of techno generally.
dont you see what youre saying? youre saying "matt jonson sounds
like techno to me, he uses all the same kinds of sounds and
structures." and i say "youre right, so why are hipsters all up on
it all of a sudden if they didnt like all the other techno that
sounds like that that comes out all the time?"
this is how to spot hipster techno.
