thats high fashion, custom fitted clothing. of which this is neither.

indie is the latest fashion trend mayhaps. not haute couture.

So how does haute couture tie in with juicy couture?

That article is insane, by the way. The City Tavern is the kind of place your wealthy relatives with "connections in the city" take you for an uncomfortable dinner when you graduate high school – during which you silently vow to never, ever return – not a place you'd go to see music, indie or not.

What makes this semiotics and semantics discussion all the more hilarious is the fact that in the comments section of the BYT article, there's a couple people having a pretty raging debate over whether hipsters are the bourgeoisie or proletariat class in modern society.

Why must we analyze hipsters so? Can't we just let hipsters exist? Can't the hipsters just be?

Hipsters are totally boojy – they just like to think they are the proletariat.

It's a vestige of grunge. Before that, indie music was "college rock" and it's fans were content being upper middle class. Then grunge came along and everyone started dressing like junkie lumberjacks and pretending like they wanted to wait tables or work in a gas station for the rest of their lives.

Now the pendulum has swung too far the other way and the kids have to wear Marc Jacobs and Dior Homme and pretend like blogging their pedestrian existence makes them some rebellious wing of the Literati.

not to mention Sonic Youth played at Marc Jacobs' last fashion show…these guys know exactly what they are doing; we have come full circle.

Not at all :)

There are only about 10-20 ateliers out there who are ACTUALLY couture. And none of them use "couture" in their names…

Is it now indie to constantly shill your own website consistently and never really talk about anything but increasing your own damn post count?

you hot tranny messes are sooooo topical - guess who was in the pinacle of reporting that is The Express yesterday?!? yes, Princess Puffysleeves! (actual interview posted on washpost on monday)

The scariest part for me was that the first lyrics that came up on his song was "we got the skillz, the skillz that pay the billz" and yes I'm sure this guy would use z's in those words.

Then further down apparently this guy will "unleash the vibe".

I don't see how there's anything "almost" about it!
