How Hip
Andrew A. Anissi
It appears that how hip one can claim to be, nowadays, depends directly upon the generation of iPod one carries. My mom now owns an iPod Nano, and I'm still on my fourth generation monochrome click-wheel iPod, putting my hipness at about the level of Pavement or Mogwai. You know what I mean, they were pretty cool...back then. The only way I can catch up now is to get one of those new video iPods. Then I will be hip once again. I was about to list some current, late 2005 hip bands, but I suddenly realized that I have no idea. I'm stuck in '03 - '04. Well...I guess I can point to Electric 6. They were very 2003, but I just saw them live and they're coming out with a new album. Yeah, Electric 6. Hip like a new iPod. Sorry, that's the best I can do.
