Hipsters Turn Their Backs on Band of Horses in Record Time!

I only listen to experimental music to seem hip

I listen to Oren Ambarchi when I'd much rather be listening to Rocket from the Crypt

I pretend to understand difficult musical ideas and theories beyond my grasp

No one knows about my huge collection of KISS and W.A.S.P.

No one knows about the Abba, the Coldplay, the Eminem, or the Dr. Dre

Or the Nickelback, the Tom Petty, the U2, or It's a Beautiful Day!

They think it's all Drumm and Branca or Shalabi or Hecker

When it's really just Toby Keith, Cher, and Jewel Kilcher

My legs get tired while watching Wolf Eyes and Molasses

I really think Yellowcard kicks all their asses

I put on a front of being a music snob, with bands in my collection from the musical elite

But I really get choked up from the theme song to Pete and Pete

One time I talked to Steve Albini

I told him he should really produce Gnarls Barkley

I tell people the best show I ever saw was Cornelius

That's why I wear a disguise when I see The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Remember that super limited EP of Joe Goldring of the Swans?

I bought it, but never listened to it... not a once!
