What the fuck is the deal with Karen O? The bitch cannot sing! And yeah, I get it, all these hipsters will flock to music that isn’t “mainstream” and is different, independent ect, ect. But holy shit the yeah yeah yeahs suck! Half of the time she sings off-key, and the other half she just makes stupid sounds like she is fucking herself with the same dildo that is playing both the guitar and bass. —Earplugs

  1. What!! I love Yeah Yeah Yeahs.. and Karen O is badass and she CAN sing. Nothing wrong with her screams either.
    Listen to Maps acoustic if you don’t think she can sing.

  2. just goes to show you, that just about anyone with a funny name, can make noises, and call it music. get the fucking crap out of my ears.

  3. ugh, people need to stop with the “hipster” word when they don’t know the definition..

    seriously, no hipster I’ve ever met would be caught dead listening to the yeah yeah yeah’s

  4. Actually, a hipster would tell you in the smuggest way possible that they listened to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs before they were famous, or that their musical tastes are too eclectic to describe.

    After all, it’s so hard to label a band that plays alt-funk-orchestral-psychedelic-groovemotron-pop quartet, whose band comprises entirely of a xylophone, a kazoo, a snare drum and a kid doing beat-box. Wait… I think I just described Zappa’s last album.

    Edit: I just took a look at Pitchfork (the definitive resource for all hipster music) and they’ve got a massive listing for the band… by the sounds the reviews, they’d fuck the lead singer if they had a chance. Ironically, of course. So yeah… They fit the hipster label.

  5. So…nth, a hipster is just your basic slob, really. Unless he’s wearing matching red sneakers in which case he’s a colour-coordinated basic slob.

  6. You can actually see the irony coming off him in waves. Let’s admit it, some people could do with a good old-fashioned cock punch.

  7. it was the picture of jebus that caught my eye, must be his mom’s house. cock punch, thank you i will use that on the morrow…in conversation only, of course^^

  8. She is meant to rock out more and not be so mellow…I skip over those on their last cd. Anyway, I love music and love most of their work in general

  9. Actually Cranky, I’m sure that top one is comprised mostly of scans taken from the American Apparel catalog. Whoops, I mean “Art Book”.

  10. that first link was oh so risque crankster…the hipster olympics. priceless. thank you
