Because I'm a quasi-hipster I sometimes have to explain to normal people why certain hipster trends are popular. But I'm not actually a hipster, I just look good in thick black-rimmed glasses and like to flaunt my education. I can't explain why hipsters like to wear jumpers or why hipster boys enjoy rocking ironic, rare jerseys other than, you know, who wouldn't want a Theo Ratliff Celtics jersey? The music I tend to get, though. Even if it's just at a visceral level. So when someone inquired as to why I enjoy Sleigh Bells, rather than stealing the line about it it being Jock Jams for nerds I just told them "because it's cool." Anything more and it becomes a "dancing about architecture" situation. If you don't believe me check out their video for "Infinity Guitars" and its classic Ferrari 328ness.
