Obscure and Pretentious

[TheEloeo]

Look, this is funny, but this video came out 6 years ago. And people are still repeating the same jokes.

[willscomix]

@indiebabe05 I hope you're being sarcastic

[KLumpkin]

CRAIG SHANK!

[indiebabe05]

Indie and proud, mainstream music stands for everything I hate about the world. The people who listed to that sort of music are just vile and disgusting. I'm not ashamed to say that.

[ninearthify]

LOLOL nothing funnier than hipsters, when I meet one pretending to be all superior I ask them "so your mom is paying your rent huh ?"

HAHAHA all their facade breaks down and they got no comeback, give a try, you'll love it XD

[canthinkverywell]

hipsters hate the mainstream ONLY because its mainstream. SMART people hate like 80% of the mainstream because its TRASH. that's the difference. besides...wouldn't you rather be a hipster than a preppy, trend-following, hollowed-out vessel of a human being?

[onstr]

@canthinkverywell /təˈmɑːtoʊ/ , /təˈmeɪtoʊ/

[strtthshw]

All of the graphic design majors at my old school were hipsters. It was hilarious.

[PonderousWu]

I hope this is a joke!! Ive been called a hipster and have always acted the way Ive acted since I was young, I agree a bit a hipster is naturally that way, but people who try to be hipster and are very self aware about their hipsterness are complete douchebags

[Reebokanonymous]

Apple sells way too many goddamn products to be hipster. This association needs to die. The natural science industry makes abundant use of Macs. It's not just the entertainment industry.

[imaginationwithballs]

Did I find indie or did indie find me? um well to a certain extent you're born indie

[MrPumpkins1979]

Haha! I love it! I also love the Opeth sticker in the background!

[KingCharlesVI]

morrissey is too funny

[zweiosterei]

I'm indie and proud to say it. Who's with me?

[EuphoriaMusicSession]

@zweiosterei If by indie, you mean an independent human being, then yes.

[krazyhomevideos]

oh my gosh this is brilliant-because its ironic lol

[lovelyhumpty]

lol how marvelously satirical.

[EuphoriaMusicSession]

These guys were actually hipsters. But this was hilarious!

[Jaysalove]

that gut has the coolest mullet I've ever seen in my life ! :D

[Sabiqiswayawesome]

posers

[janedoe1026]

Scoff a lot...and just look down on them.

[EyeJustSkateboard]

And i don't like it when, like f**king freshmen will ask me why my pant leg is rolled up- and it's like, wait a second, are you a fucking freshmen... thought so.

Why bleep fuck once, then say it in the exact same sentence? haha

[Hmpsndmps]

@EyeJustSkateboard because it's ironic

[bobbinstring]

@EyeJustSkateboard its ironic. 

[4l4ddin77]

th silent horses are pretty sick

[blzbug242]

Duh.

[radicalteeth]

This is golden. <3 <3 <3

I love mockumentaries!

[SpamSpu]

Pretzel Breath is fucking hilarious

[mcs31795]

Damn. I have 5 pitchfork articles open and the American Apparel store.

BUT

didnt say anything about looking at NAMM. Or listening to Foals. Foals are way too mainstream.

[tbaumgar1]

Deck, but not esoteric enough or too esoteric. Aesthetically homogenized to a degree of blah. Haha to be honest, this was hilarious!

[MoldytoasterMedia]

FAKE

[beetlegoose]

with that said, fantastic video

[AlecPeytonMusic]

I love how the guy brought up a "band" called the Silent Horses, when in Athens there is an indie band called Quiet Hooves.

[CockneyBurberry]

your not indie cos your amarican, you only indie if your british

[beetlegoose]

@CockneyBurberry yes because it matters where you're from, you're as fucking pretentious as the people in this video. It doesn't matter where they're from, but that we can all agree that they are complete cunts, you included.

[EuphoriaMusicSession]

You know how i know this is fake? the guy on the left is wearing socks.

[simcant]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[7danyul7]

Well done! Have you guys heard of "PennyMonks"? Of course you haven't, they don't even exist yet. But you have got to hear the second track on their Sophomore album. You can tell they were really influenced by "Diego and the Air Force splatter". My guess is because their lead singer is actually the son of the lead singer from "Friday is my Saturday".

[PutUpOrShutUp221]

that whole thing about loving music and then hating it then loving it for irony is so indie.

[ebovvvbamf]

LMAO!! I LOVE THE VID and the "indie" guys init.

[tobyn123]

Britain invented the indie kids.... the worst invention to come out of there!!! :(

[BMWGGANTMSFU]

This is a  joke...it has to be.

[squiggyklane]

this almost borders on being hard to believe.. oh i know it's real but what in the fuck... this is the next generation. glad the rest of us were born when we were. pitchfork does usually pick up big shit before the kids. check out a cassette label called raven sings the blues (real) ;)

[Scone54]

im sorry but its all about the bondage pants these days, scarf’s and glasses are like so 5 years ago, and nobody scoffs anymore, its all about telepathic curb stomping.

[jesusfreaklol1]

if your indie you don't talk about how indie you are

[hurrhurrbtard]

lol friend of mine has a court case this weekend for smashing a hipster/indie fuck who was mouthing him

broke his jaw in 2 places in 1 hit

[starkidcomix]

Fuck labels man why dont ppl just be themselves, who cares what other ppl think.

[nathan2389]

Saw this at 5k views last year.

[artvandelay13]

lulz this is awesome. Also they remind me of Craig with a Wig -- "I love this music. And I hate loving things." *banjo face*

[ljyong21]

Support our non-conformity by conforming to our definition of what is cool and what is mainstream!

Idiots.

[henrylawson1]

this vid is sooo organic and visceral

[darthsasuke554]

so Indie = being a dickhead

[bluesensationist]

this is stupid. you dont have to like songs that noone else has ever heard of to be good enough. if you hear a song and like it, just leave it at that. enjoy the song because it sounds good. and it doesnt matter if your "indie" or not. it couldnt matter less

[Chacha5678]

20k views, too mainstream

[jeckeljoan]

Lets get first things first:

1. Indie Kids are the Same thing as Hipsters.

2. Hipsters are the grown up scene kid.

[TheTrueMetal9]

why the fuck would you roll up your jeans like a girl? honestly

[TheTrueMetal9]

@1guitarkid lol the way yall dress yall cant do shit but talk shit

"go break your neck" goodun, you cant even do that right

[uppityox]

pretzel breath lol

[johnsonyourfired]

These guys are huge douche bag posers. I am in the label *shivers* indie according to many people and these people just seem like douches. I hate labels and this makes me sound like a douche

[TheatreDesVamp69]

indie hipster whatever ...its all lame as fuck

[OmjSmp]

i like the indie style, NEWS-FA-LASH nothing is original anymore. suck it up kids.

[Dead111Beat]

I love the dry humor. Its subtle.

[RajaRobot]

i lol'd a bit.

[JaymeehJay]

hahaha well done :)

[publicenemy1010]

LIsten to mainstream you're a conformist, listen to obscure music you're a hipster, listen to things inbetween, you're an indie kid

[MADDIEirene]

@publicenemy1010 nailed it pretty decently.

[EuphoriaMusicSession]

@publicenemy1010 listen to whatever you want, and you're you. that's the best thing.

[peteyg1]

so ironic that indie kids aren't independent at all

[Soupstorm]

I love everyone who's taking this video really seriously.

[TheCrayolaSkies]

How do you label a group of people? Ugh. I just don't get it. There's diversity everywhere, even if it appears subtle.

And, unlike "scenesters", "indie kids" don't seem to all dress the same. And not all "indie kids" act like that. Most of the ones I've met don't.

And if you're going to label, these would be "hipsters", not "indie kids". There's a slight difference.

[Mel0berry0lover]

this is pretty funny :)

[Rusty2540]

indie kids

fail

scene kids

fail

[t0psecretshit]

hahahh. this is funny

[miscelaineouss]

i love this, it's so funny!

[hardfi123]

How many pretentious indie kids does it take to change a lightbulb?

Its some obscure number you've probably never heard of...

[synthetickat]

This is fantastic. Great job! =D

[welookedlikegiants12]

Man. I hate Indie fucking HIPSTERS.

I know a person just like these two fuckers. :s

ugh, makes me sick,

[12345rockie]

WTF! you cant define who you are as an individual. Steriotypes suck man. Dont look like a Wannabe please

[NicoleissoRADD]

so, this video is awesome

[KitchenisBitchin]

This is hilarious.:)

[thevirginqueen1]

is this a parody joke? wtf

[mishkaboo]

HAHAHAA "morrisseythesmithsaregood" is so hilarious holy shit he nails it

[shauntypoo]

these are hipsters. Indie is not "indie" anymore. Hipsters are awesome. They dress better then everyone. They set fashion trends, and have better taste. women are also hotter. everyone else can suck it!

[shauntypoo]

these are hipsters. Indie is not "indie" anymore. Hipsters are awesome. They dress better then everyone. They set fashion trends, and have better taste. women are also hotter. everyone else can suck it!

[birinbirinbirin]

you people dont know shit about indie! whatis indie to you? name some of the pioneer bands and it definately aint modest mouth or fiest. it pisses me off you new generation is even turning indie into a fashion it disgust me

[JReneeYay]

modest mouth? dumbass

[birinbirinbirin]

@JReneeYay i dont like that shit or listen to it so what do you expect me to know? you punks dont know shit about true indie

[catmenorah]

@birinbirinbirin I loled at ur comments. Go listen to bands that don't exist yet, Mr Trailblazer.

[birinbirinbirin]

@catmenorah What?

[llamavszombie]

haha this is funny, but sadly, most of this stuff is true about me....

[ckyx0x0]

yea me too T_T. sad but so truee xP

[Alusty13]

HIPSTERS ARE FUCKIN BRO HATERS

[chefraekwon56]

hahahahaha

[ilovemutemath]

this is hilarious.

[firefighter38]

lol

[BENTXYZ]

LOL at the people who think that they are trying to be serious! This whole thing is designed as a joke!

It's a testament to how accurately they portray the role of stereotypical indie kids that people are actually freaking out.

[angelabenedict]

Gah--You did it so much better than I did! Nosferatu's nephew I f'ing died! Totally <3'ing the juice box.

[VagabondingV7]

Some of you are jerks. They are obviously trying to make fun of how "hip" people try to be and whatnot. Come on, it's funny.

[broj15]

hipsters doing something ironic? how ...uh.. Ironic!

[lilymaymatilda]

I have watched this at least 27 times. And it never gets old. It is absolute brilliance.

[muni7890]

this is beyond pretentious, how can they b so fake

[tinofpop90]

@muni7890 how can you not know they are joking?

[livingfonz77]

its people like this that ruin music. fucking douche bags!!

[ummmmm47]

dude... it's a joke... and either way, both are dumb stereotypes that people try to fit into because they seek approval way too much

[flightbyshred]

@Clemyntine I believe they are the same thing. In australia we call them indie kids as well and It's the same thing in England.

[squiggyklane]

@Clemyntine well said.

[RatfinkSpectacular]

@Clemyntine hipsters of 07 the indie kids have evolved

[Christianfaith1]

@Clemyntine said the Indie Hipster kid...

[lovesxforxlosers]

@Clemyntine in england hipsters are reffered to as indie kids.

[HolaOuiHola]

Hahaha,

[TheFragile89]

Jeez, if I was that pathetic I would shoot myself in the head.

[MrLevi812]

"pretzel breath......coffee mouth"

hahaha.

p.s. lovin the Kentucky Nightmare in the background. definitely my favorite band, by the way!

[oxvalentineox]

This is hilarious.

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

Kitshcy or Campy?

both

[letsgotodebarr]

you're all fucking sockmonkeys........please kill yourselves

[mikedelgado8888]

whats the song at the end?

[ilovemutemath]

hahahahahahahaha

"to a certain extent, you're born indie."

cringe.

[Indiekid1997]

not all indie kids a eltist I mean indie kids are people who are unlabeled and people put a label on them

[elSargent93]

this coming from a guy who's username is Indiekid1997 - so much for not putting a label on yourself

[VALTRONICA]

"Indie" IS THE NEW POP!!!l making fun of indie kids!! i laugh at indie kids! so prententcious so fake so un original!!! Indie kids exploit everything about music and culture..theyre worse than the rest of the populous because all they do is talk about the "cool" things theyre into..ITs like hello whatever happened to just listening to music for the music .HOw are they any different from snobs? theyre not!!!

[TheSillyPlatypus]

Eh, at least they're better than fucking emo/scene kids.

[joeltabang]

Pretentious?? Oh yes.  "You're born indie." priceless.

[atown327]

heard it love it and hate it rofl

[StephanieElleSUCKIT]

this is hilarious.

[DeadDuckFilms]

So true... :[

[GarcianSmith891]

i just refuse to acknowledge indie as a legitimate genre.

anyway, nice vid.

[thekidwithdog]

i see indie as a essentially experimental pop music like minus the bear

[TheMusiclov3r]

pretzel breath?? lmao! oh wow love it

[mommyimadeapoopy]

hahaha this is awesome

[nara808]

indie is just as mainstream as other shit

[plusbonquetoi]

alternative is mainstream

[schoolclothesmusic]

@nara808 these days :(

it used to be a way for me to escape from all the people i was always around, when i couldnt stand the scenes around here anymore, but indie became the scene..

[hagshor]

@nara808 Not really, :P

[rrpal10]

haha spot on guys good stuff... this for whatever reason makes me glad that I go to IU... WIUX is killing it

[philphie]

lol i'm a living joke

i'll just say i'm more of an indie-folk-preppy guy just to work up the self esteem again

[breanab3]

i absolutely love this video.

=]

[graypaint]

LOLOBSCURE.

just wait in three years though. indie will be the new killed scene.

[graypaint]

with the irony that indie is the anti-scene, of course.

[ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz]

nah its been dead since the start, if its "alternative" its immediatly gonna attract all the people who like to think of themselves as indivual, thus killing the scene straight away, actually now i think, all scenes are the same, some just have different habits

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

its never been a scene.

its always stayed underground so shut your mouth you damn....graypaint

[graypaint]

yeah you would believe that. its quickly growing in soCal so do get a rain check.

[FeuledbyPaula]

aha, my best friend is indie and i found this funny/

[steviehasachannel]

haha morrisseythesmithsaregood coombs

[JezzillaTube]

ha ha

[msane4XX]

Kentucky Nightmare.

Now that's a real band.

[Beck436]

@msane4XX

Which was also the name of a SGC2C episode.

[GeGeMus12]

this video is pretentious...

[jeffrobot]

ha that was really funny. this deserves more views.

[titaniumstarship]

ahhh....my people...where have ye been??? Not in Brooklyn or Portland I presume.

[GeGeMus12]

i hate indie posers who dress like characters from teen dramas like the oc and gossip girl and listen to music from those shows hahaha. They think its all hip and pretentious....

[oheneys]

YEAH COOL ANALYSIS YOU SHITTER

[chelsiiiXD]

I'm kind of guessing you don't even know what pretentious means.

[littledropofcum]

lol

[daleriam]

so very very true he he always makes me laugh

[harryistbtf]

god i hate indie kids lol

[electrototty]

Haha I love this! It describes half my friends haha

[msane4XX]

Pretzel breath.... oh, coffee mouth..

[arussianroulettekiss]

Plus I'm too poor to buy any clothes...:p

[arussianroulettekiss]

lol

I consider myself indie probably because I'm the Dominique Francon type who would burn a novel I loved just so other people couldn't enjoy it....muahahah

But I think I'm more Indie/Gypsy/Bohemian

And yea I wouldn't be caught dead in American Apparel.

Ahhhhahahaha this was hilarious though. :p

Obscure and Pretentious. I think the Scene kids forced me to be Indie so I can find places to hide from their retarded ways. And I was born bohemian (aka Czech).

[lmscooper411]

bwahahaha! this always makes me laugh

[AlvacadoNlemons]

IMMACULATE MACHINE

[tombellisme]

Its funny cause its ultimately true.

[kisspy]

hahaha

this is the funniest thing iv ever

seen !

wow yall are fucking amazing

[HiImChristin3]

Completly epic.

[makasalad]

this was really fun. I've personally a bit hard to draw the line between beeing a hipster and just have a cultural interest. I would really like to have some advices on how to fix it.

[dstack]

this is soooo OBERLIN!

[authenticbones]

words cannot describe

[seemedisco92]

haaaaaaah sooo funnny when the guy in blue offers his juice and theres no reaction xD :D:D

[OnlyHighWhenDriving]

God... This world if so filled with pathetic fools.
