A select few of the albums they recommend are really good.
But most of it is hipster bullshit.

tru pitchfork is hipster central but they usually have good bands on there, more music news then other outlets and at least it isn't rolling stone,spin or some ... they don't have artists like nickleback on there at the least..
regardless, ill take hipster shit over radio/whiny rock bullshit any day... you'd have to kill me to make me listen to that shit

Sometimes hipster music is almost just as pathetic as the radio though.

people that try to be hip and fail, those are the real dorks.
being hip in and of itself is not a bad thing, it may just mean that the popular culture sees your choices as novel. but to see the popular "hip" culture choose something and love it like a beanie baby, and then mimic that behavior in order to be cool, yikes. thats a little silly.
hipsterdom is a grand heirarchy

I've found a few good bands from them (jj, the antlers) and have found out about a bunch of cool shows in my area. I pretty much just go there to check out tour dates

Although I do think that pitchfork definitely strikes the mainline vein of hipster and indie music (which is not my scene), i do like their reviews and can give you a pretty good indication as to what's up with the album you're looking into

most of my favorite bands are indie
i don't like the bullshit hipster/indie bands but i think a lot of them are fucking awesome... Pixies,Radiohead,Animal Collective, Frank Black, and music like that
i dont think its cool to listen to but thats what moves me the most usually and IDM artists...
there are a lot of bullshit indie bands but ive yet to come across a better genre... i dont care much for jam bands ether and the shit on the radio is usually shit
