<p>Fortunately, NME compiled a list of bands that have kept America c00l.<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/oi5gmw.jpg"></p>
<p>According to NME, these r 25 bands that r &#8216;making America cool again.&#8217;  I think they got some of them wrong.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />HRO [EXCLUSIVE] BREAKDOWN</span><br />1 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Vampire Weekend </span>- is it Alt to hate them? or is it alt-er to transcend &#8216;hating them&#8217;? or is it alt-est to pretend you don&#8217;t really know who they are?<br />2 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Lil Wayne </span>-  filling the quarterly demand for a rapper that it is [highly regarded] as being historically significant by white people who like to pretend that pop-rap is an important reflection on the social evolution of African Americans that they feel tolerant about &#8216;identifying with&#8217;<br />3 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Glass Candy </span>- a band making your electroblog authentic again/ 1 band with the #1 MILF in alt music<br />4 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Kings Of Leon </span>- I have heard 1.5 of their songs.  They will probably be around forever and I will never give them a chance.<br />5 <span style="font-weight:bold;">MGMT</span> &#8211; Please direct your attention to <a href="http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2008/06/bands-that-sound-okay-and-look-cute-are.html">this post </a>about why uninteresting people think they are supposed to like MGMT.<br />6 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Spank Rock </span>- 1 post-post-ironic sex-core think-piece rapper.  If I were a black person,  I would h8 him for &#8216;making fun of us and thinking he is s00 smart/artsy.&#8217;<br />7 <span style="font-weight:bold;">TV On The Radio </span>- I think they would choose to be from another country if they had the opportunity, since it would make them &#8216;more authentic.&#8217;<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/tv-on-the-radio.jpg"><br />8 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Boy Crisis </span> &#8211; with a name like that, they are probably going after the market of people who like to say &#8216;GIRL TALK&#8217;.  But SRSLY&#8230;who is that?<br />9 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Black Kids</span> &#8211; 1 band that I will never learn the difference between them + The Cool Kids<br />10 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Holy Ghost Revival</span> -Is this <a href="http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2008/05/is-holy-ghosts-hold-on-next-dance.html">HOLY GHOST!</a> or some different band?<br />11 <span style="font-weight:bold;">The Hold Steady </span>- for some reason I think this band is from the emo-era of 2k0<br />12 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Fleet Foxes </span>- Am I not a good American if I haven&#8217;t bothered to look into finding a way to appreciate them?  Does n e 1 know if they are meaningful?  Or are they one of those post-2k8 semi-meaningful-authentic bands that probably should have come around in 2005 so they wouldn&#8217;t be cannibalized by blogs.  (Being cannibalized by bl0gs only works for electro-ish artists, but they aren&#8217;t expecting to get paid.)<br />13 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Amazing Baby </span>- Have they been blggd abt? They might as well be a local band that I ignore.<br />14 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Jay Reatard </span>- He has an interesting name, but otherwise, I shouldn&#8217;t know who he is.  Does n e 1 know if he is retarded IRL?  Is that his stage gimmick?<br />15 <span style="font-weight:bold;">HEALTH </span>- I wonder what these concept bros are up to.   Is there a HEALTH backlash after 2 many remixes?<br />16 <span style="font-weight:bold;">The Cool Kids </span>- 1 band that I will never learn the difference between them + The Black Kids<br />17 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Black Lips </span>- Do they sing the song about Hurricane Katrina?  Are they one of those bands like NO AGE that sux, but &#8216;people appreciate them&#8217;?<br />18 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Yo Majesty </span> &#8211; With that kind of name, they are either an overweight black rapper, or a UK &#8216;highly regarded&#8217; retro-ish band<br />19 <span style="font-weight:bold;">White Denim </span>- another band that high-end alts acclimate themselves to since GVB enjoys them.  I &lt;3 the power of the gorillvsbear.  It&#8217;s cool because <a href="http://gorillavsbear.blogspot.com/2008/04/buffalo.html">I have been GVBed</a>, therefore, I am significant.  <br />20 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Telepathe </span>- Sounds like they are from France.  <br />21 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Iglu &amp; Hartly </span>- Huh?  They must have gone to high school with the magazine editor.<br />22 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Chester French</span> -Who?<br />23 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Girl Talk</span> &#8211; I wonder if he&#8217;d be bigger if he was from France/Japan?  Based on the fact that he is on this list, it means that he is America&#8217;s #1 DJ.  R u comfortable with that?  I&#8217;d rather have him representing us in the DJ Olympics instead of some guido/eurotrash d-bag playing tacky thump-house music.<br />24 <span style="font-weight:bold;">The Death Set</span> &#8211; they probably have a ghey logo/ gheyer fans<br />25 <span style="font-weight:bold;">Grace Jones </span>-  Is that the woman who looks like she is made out of plastic/used to be a mummy?<br /><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/hipsterrunoff/Grace-Jones-Photograph-C12147531.jpg"></p>
<p>If NME really wanted to help rebuild America&#8217;s image, they should have written an article that declared &#8216;all other countries bl0w/r full of inauthentic &#8216;fggts&#8217;.&#8217;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t even believe in &#8216;countries&#8217; any more, yall.  Borders = s0 2k7.  I feel like we&#8217;re all just citizens of Blogville in the United States of the Alt-Internet.  It doesn&#8217;t matter where n e 1 is even from&#8230; I just want a free mp3 and I want to see &#8216;the next big band&#8217; more than 6 months before they are &#8216;big.&#8217;</p>
<p>America is fine.  We just need to find a way to make sure that ________ ends up as the President.  I heard he is going to lower the legal ______ age for entry level alts/lil alts.  He will also pass an electro-tax that is meant to give money to myspace bands.  They are also in talks to distribute a copy of Ableton Live to every single child in a public school.  </p>
<p>If NME wants to help America get a better image, they need to start at the ground level.  They need to get kids portable hypemachine players to replace their iPods/satellite radios.  Our generation is lost.  We just need to work for the future, and focus on alt-lectro education.  That&#8217;s the only way to win <b>THE WAR ON lofi/garage/cockrock/fggtcore/meaningfulcore/underwhelming-indie TERROR</b>.</p>
<p>&#8216;The only way to save our world is to Americanize it.  Especially the brown-ish countries that believe in 2ManyGods.&#8217;<br />-HIPSTER RUNOFFS</p>
