Coldplay always sucked, just like hatb(f). Star wars has always been big.

If you saw either of those bands in a club w/ 50 people before they got big, you

If I were a hipster, you're right, I would think that. But I'm not a hipster.

I don't believe it...there are some bands that are good but it is uncool to

You know what the most hipster thing to do is? Hate on hipsters.

All credibility lost just for thinking Hootie & the Blowfish were EVER any good

What do you propose they do? Make a new Star Wars on the down low? Only show it

Disco LaFleur

12/1/15 10:21pm

No...I guess I am making a commentary about the all or nothing commercial

OhYePoorFools

Disco clubs to be precise!

Yeah...Star Wars was never that.

fredgarvin

12/1/15 10:21pm

Exactly. The original (a new hope) was the box office record holder for 5 yrs

Cougarrrs

12/1/15 10:25pm

Adjusted for inflation, it's the third-biggest movie ever.

Coldplay and Hootie were never good or cool.

Backcountry

Star Wars has never been cultish and strangely cool. Always been mainstream
