>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. tom ________________________________________________________________ andythepooh.com
