I listened all of them. Very acoustic music. Besides Black rebel, I liked best AA Bondy. Iron & Wine guy looks very hipster to me
And who said hipsters don't do classic rock?
Speaking of 70s
Probably the best collection of trumpeters in one group.

Ok, here we go. I hate the 70s but I recognize there were some good rock and roll. Name one? Bob Seger - Old time r'n'r;
"Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll! "
Another favorite of mine is "Shambala" by "Three Dog Night" or "Alright now" by Free, "Can't get enough" by Bad Company. There were glam rock like "Get it on" by T Rex. You had Lynyrd Skynyrd with "Sweet home Alabama".
During the 1970s ZZTop published "Tres Hombres" album with "La Grange" song. Not exactly rock and roll but good enough.
And let's have it clear that I still hate the 1970s!
I thought that hipster bands played "hipster music". Another different thing would be a hipster guy playing classic rock.
But what IS hipster music?

That's why I asked. Because I have absolutely no idea what you peeps mean by "hipster", let alone "hipster music". It feels pretty much like "hipster" is bandied around here more like a pejorative than an actual description so it's pretty hard to tell.
You make an excellent point. Many here point to "Hipster" as being anything that they don't personally care for. In that spirit, I would define "Hipster Music" as:
"All of that worthless caterwauling including electric guitar that has plagued popular music since the 1950s, which is annoying, profoundly unmusical, and should never have been produced in the first place, and the enjoyment of which is self-evidently diagnostic of congenital iodine deficiency syndrome in the listener."
Now, can we return to the discussion of vintage (that is pre-electric guitar trash) music?
I'd like to hear folks discuss fine, serious stuff, like "Yaaka-Hula-Hickey-Doola" or "Why Aren't Yez Eatin' More Oranges".
Or "She Pushed Me Into the Parlor"?
Anyway, I have a huge thing for early Medieval polyphonies. That's vintage, right? Or is it even "antique"?

Definitely antique. Vintage, by its definition, would cover anything from 1912 to 1987.
And now back to the vintage music...
Helge Lindbergs Crystal Band -- En ar för Liten och en är för Stor (1928)

Eh, Johnny Cash is an icon among young musicians in skinny jeans. Why wouldn't he be?
:rofl: Not.
But what IS hipster music? The answer is "music that people generally called hipster listen to". The closest "traditional" label would probably be "alternative" as in alternative rock, twee, folk etc. Obviously Black Keys who are sorta poster boys for "hipster music" sounds very little like Bright Eyes who also made the list of worst hipster music someone posted if I remember correctly. And neither sound like Band of Horses to me. [huh]

The Black Keys have had a following for many years. Mark Lanegan was a Screaming Tree eons ago for many many years. Interesting how easily the label of "hipster" can be slapped upon a band.
