Do you like Radiohead? Neutral Milk Hotel? Animal Collective? If so you might be a hipster!
This is your test. If you can stand it you're a certified hipster!

I like Radiohead, and Animal Collective is okay. Never heard of Neutral Milk Hotel.
What's that make me? Half-hipster?

I guess I'm not, I've never heard of any of them.

You've...never heard of Radiohead?
Anyway, I think Radiohead is ok (liked their earlier stuff better), don't like Animal Collective, and I've heard of NMH but can't say if I've heard any songs.

Christ, I'd managed to make myself forget Neutral Milk Hotel, now you've made me remember again.

Have never heard them. Have never heard of them. Have never heard of them.
So I guess... no.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I agree about Radiohead's earlier stuff. The Bends was their best album, OK Computer was #2. The rest are above average to "meh."

@Nanner: I like the Decemberists, so you can take my hip and shove it in your ster.
@Gaff: You've never heard of Radiohead either? I mean, I get never having heard any of their songs, but my god, my parents are 800 years old* and they've heard of them.

There are two radioheads - the early stuff and the rubbish. just as there are two pearl jams.

maybe I heard the name once or twice. But that's all. I don't listen to that kind of music.

Exactly - even if you don't listen to that kind of music, you've had to have heard the name before.
And if you hadn't before, you have now!

Fink, I like the Decemberists too, but I'm not going to pretend that the singer's voice doesn't really get on my nerves sometimes.
Also, Kid A is the best Radiohead album.

Nope, not a hipster.
Honestly, when ever I listen to Radiohead it just doesn't do it for me. I throw in some Talking Heads and that does the trick.

Talking Heads are awesome. I ripped the audio track off the Stop Making Sense DVD and that CD never leaves my car CD changer.

In Rainbows is definitely their best album since OK Computer, but it doesn't come anywhere close to The Bends.

The Flaming Lips are one of my favorite band but I don't know why She Don't Use Jelly was their big hit.

Wasn't Embryonic terrible, though? What happened there?

Embryonic was very well received by the music press. I enjoyed it as well though it took a few listens to really appreciate. It's in a entirely different style than the last 10 years of Flaming Lips albums. Kinda experimental and it sounds raw..
