What's with the hipster obsession?  Mumford and Sons is as mainstream as it gets in 2013.  Hipsters are not mainstream.  So no, Mumford and Sons is not a hipster band.

You're really struggling to wrap your head around this whole hipster thing, huh? I can only imagine what you think of the goths, emos, bronies, LARPers, sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads, and feminists.

They all think Ferris is a righteous dude. That's really all you need to know about them.

theres no struggle at all....the only question is whether mumford and sons is loved by hipsters

i suspect they are as folk would be something the hipsters would try to make popular because everyone else rightly despises it

Mumford & Sons is not even close to hipster music. I'm sure there are some hipster douchebags who listen to them just like there are hipster douchebags that listen to gangsta rap...because it's, you know, 'Ironic'. They probably appreciate Mumford & Sons but wouldn't admit to liking them because they're too mainstream. Hipsters generally listen to really zesty music like Death Cab for Cutie.

Sure, in 2006.

Hipsters today listen to crap we've never heard of because we are old and, as dudes who watch the NFL and talk to each other on a fan messageboard, by definition not hip.

i never heard of mumford and sons until like a month or two ago so i have no idea who listens to them or how popular they are....it just seems that since ive become aware of them that people either love or hate them...no in between

Don Ho

My son loves Mumford & Sons.  All the surfers listen to them. 

He also loves Main Source.  He digs the older rap and can't stand the new shtein coming out.

Played some Dobie Gray during class while the students were working.  My girls actually sang with "Drift Away" while working.

Been playing some Magic Slim tonight after hearing about his death.  Good stuff.


Rome

Mumford & Sons are great.   And what the farg is this hipster shtein all of a sudden?    Is it a convenient label for anything or anyone who's different?

If all of a sudden means the last ten years everywhere but here, sure. And also yes.

The man. The myth. The legend.
