No, there is plenty of "hipster metal" out there. Southern Lord is doing just fine and still signs new bands. Most of the "hipster metal" bands are still touring and putting out new albums. It's still alive and well.

Thank you.
I realize that constantly listening to music about fairy princesses and dragons isn't very conducive to negative thoughts towards other types of metal, but when you're like me and enjoy some church burning and baby eating in your metal you tend to take a different attitude.
And I leave you with this....

Yeah but Pitchfork is no longer into it. So now you have people who enjoy metal and are sticking with it. Hipster metal brought in some fans. And you like some Southern Lord bands anyhow

Hell yeah I do, I love "hipster metal" and have always thought it was a dumb term. Pitchfork just doesn't count anymore because they're too mainstream, therefore not alt, therefore not hipster, and hipsters don't like things that receive too much attention. It's a never ending cycle.

When has clutch ever been billed as metal? I've never seen anyone refer to them a such; even their earlier stuff which has a heavier edge is more 90's hardcore than metal.

I once heard Clutch described as Dr.Seuss with a funky beat.
They're a rock band. A DAMN good one. Maybe the best drummer in rock.
Do they use metal? Yes.

Yes, it is huge in Chicago. The Wicker Park area is a breeding ground for this type of metal.

Like several people have said I think it is very subjective. Lots of bands have many metal elements but like everything else metal we just have to fit it perfectly into genre.
That said I submit to of the most unmetal things I've seen done from bands that have helped the metal industry with the public view in America.
Dragonforce live. It blows and sucks at the same time. They're lucky pierre. You can't convince me you're metal and then not have any bass live. Or have a fan that's only purpose it to blow your hair so you look cool. Doesn't help when Disturbed is behind you on the set and you look like shit in comparison (and I'm not really a disturbed fan).
Coheed and Cambria live on tour without their drummer and bassist so they over mix the guitars and the fill ins don't know the parts. Plus no backing vocals making the music seem void. Just a sad moment. Josh Eppard quit the band shortly after this happened, as did the bassist who ended up returning.

Guys, this thread is like hearing a bunch of 14 year old boys talking trying to figure out what's cool and what's not!Who gives a shit? Is that type of attitude "true" enough for you?

ICEDEARTHFAN I'm guessing AngraRULES is simply not a Manowar fan.
Notice I didn't say not a metal fan.

forgot to mention ALL VERSIONS of this suck. so tired of bands trying to cash in on songs that aren't even a year old. LAME. i mean somebody should do a death metal cover of "Rock You To Hell" or something.
