Hipster music concerts

This weekend I saw two great shows: Girls at the Empty Bottle and Dirty Projectors at the Bottom Lounge.  Given the nature of the venues and the music, I gotta ask, what is the deal with hipsters at concerts? Man, they are a predictable bunch!

First of all, you gotta love the hipster leg shake.  We know you're excited about the music (or craving a cigarette) by the way you're shaking your leg like a puppy that needs to go to the bathroom. Try and broaden your dancing range, maybe move laterally or something.  Or would that be too hard to do in your skinny jeans?

Wear your plaid shirt some other night.  When you thought about what you were going to wear to the show (let's be honest, we know you put some thought into it), why did you choose the ONE thing that wouldn't set you apart from the crowd?

I think the mustache thing should be over, am I right?  Mustaches and bangs are kind of like this generation's facial and body piercings.  Ten years ago, everybody was getting piercings.  Now, people are experimental with their hair.  Which is better, probably.  But still, the 70's-porno-mustache renaissance is over.

Finally, I will NOT be shushed.  We are at a ROCK concert.  I was standing in the back of the lounge on Friday night and committed the faux pas of actually chatting with my friend during a song.  Whoah, sorrreee!  We are standing next to a speaker playing music at 200 decibels, is my voice really distracting you from the song?

What's YOUR experience at hipser music concerts?  Got something to say?  Leave a comment...
