"You’re so hipster. You’re as hip as trees without leaves and crazy pictures of space. You’re as hipster as cats, and more hipster than beards. You have so many edges you’re a dodecahedron of life."
- BuzzFeed

If "dodecaheron of life" isn't your new motto then you have failed at everything

fucking hipsters, how about you stop using your ridiculous haircuts and stupid clothes and listen to obscure shitty bands that make music with metal pipes and buss sounds and listen to some REAL MUSIC like the beatles and the rolling stones

i listen to gucci mane and im proud of it

@Doritos
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
