Melvins attract hipsters?

[(((O)))]

Just read these comments on another (unnamed) forum. What do you guys think?


"I love them live, but do i hate melvins fans. it's like going to the worst asshole dick-fest ever. kind of bums me out."

"You know I was thinking about posting the same thing, and I say that as a huge Melvins fan. The last time I saw them live the room was packed with bottom feeding hipster ass clowns."

"The last 2 times i saw them i swore i would never see them again. they attract some of the worst human beings i've ever seen at a concert."

"This will be the first time seeing them live. I'll bring my anti-hipster ass clown riot gear just in case."

"Just in case? There's no just in case. You will need it."

"There was definitely a good percentage of arse clowns here in brum last time I saw them in November."

don't know what they are talking about. the only people i cant stand are the ones who yell all night and throw beer at the stage.

That was the forever doomed forum.  Out of a four page thread, basically only three people said they didn't like the crowds at Melvins show.. just pay it no mind.

MELVINS crowds have changed big time.

20 years ago MELVINS would clear a room.
This was awesome.  Played to maybe 35 people.

10 years ago MELVINS began to bring in a younger cool crowd.

Now MELVINS club scencesters are all types.

such is life.

The moshing dorks are the worst.

"hipster" is fast becoming a generic insult to be applied to anyone who has any interest in alternative music.

I spy a quote laden BBS tee shirt. I was at the Brum gig, and I'm glad I made a good impression on these bottom feeding fucktards. And I mean bottom in evry sense of that word

I have to say, it seems to me that most Melvins fans are males, maybe a little chubby, a little nerdy, but generally nice people (myself included). I don't have any friends that are melvins fans, so I usually go to their shows solo, and the majority of the time, I wind up bs-ing with another fan about the band.

Also, I don't see hardly any "pitchfork" or "vice" style hipsters at the shows at all.

I think since there really is no definition of a modern hipster, people it's used to describe anyone you don't like regardless.

exactly.     the only common theme is it's usually attached to "underground" or "alternative" music fans.

glen's a hipster.

In the concert setting, I'm less bothered by the "hipsters" than I am by what I consider to be "scenesters" -- aka, the people who attend a show only to mingle (loudly) with their peers, drink Pabst, and not to actually watch the show. It so happens that they are usually hipsters as imagined in the popular culture, but not all hipsters are there purely to socialize. No, these trendy-looking attention whores are particularly deserving of my scorn and/or boot to the crigs because they will talk loudly throughout the set that I have paid good money to see.

in the general scheme of show going i don't care about the hipster contingent. they're usually kind of mindless, but generally harmless. even if it's a temporary blip, at least it's putting money in the band's pockets. like glen said, it's the moshing lugnuts that get on my nerves. both times i've seen melvins in detroit, the shows have brought out the worst hatebreed fan type goons who add a bullshit macho element i really could do without.
agreed with the comments about the scenester types. that and the purists who are all pissed off that melvins fandom isn't their own secret little club anymore.

i remember seeing them in 93 with preston and there was a huge pit. my friends and i were all in wonder, why the hell are you slamming to the melvins?!? it's eye flys for god's sake!

Eye Flys is the one you headbang to in slow motion!
