From "I knew about it before it was cool" to "I wish I knew about it before it was cool." About as much humility you can exact from hipsterism.

Fair point, but the author of the article isn't bothered primarily by this kind of rude distraction. He's scoffing and sneering at the idea of so many people loving a band so long after the record was released, a posture I find kinda loathsome, even if I can relate to it.

This article channels the soul of hipsterism purely, and naively. That NMH became beloved wildly beyond expectations is, I suppose, a topic worth noting. But the response to the topic of the author and most of those interviewed is tacitly something like, "It's a shame because I knew them first." Humblebrag. Scoffing…

What about Freddy Got Fingered's deer scene?
