can´t you see I am?

I noticed that BoC fans are very divers of character, but most of them have some kind of "laidback" attitude

correct me if I am wrong....

laidback...
i don't know, they used to seem like interesting characters, like geeks obsessed with technology or maths or religion or drugs..
but things have changed it seems.
I think the forthcoming album will bring in a whole new crowd, wait and see.

I know I'Ma super-ultra-pretnetious-geek-to-the-max type of person.....I don't drink or do drugs and I am not religious at all...but I did watch a lot of PBS children's shows in my youth.....

Finally, a place that I can call home! Thank God for Twoism. Sorry to revive a long-dead topic, but I couldn't help it, I was a sociology minor in college.

P.S. Should we add 'bearded' to pretentious geeks?

i don't sport a beard, i don't drink, i don't do drugs, but i can't stop talking about boards of canada. they are great by the way

yeah...we seem to be very diverse...i do drugs and drinks and i shave once a week...

I dont have a beard either, I shave about once a week too. I used to do tons of drugs but now it's just the occasional drink on the weekends. And I don't consider myself a geek cause I like idm, most of the people I hang out with are straight hip-hop heads.

In all honesty, my last posting was a rather poor attempt at sarcasm. I'm actually pretty laid back myself. Unfortunately, I've only met one other person who likes Boards of Canada, and he worked at the bloody record store, so I'm glad to hear that there is diversity amongst us. And on the question of drugs and alcohol: booze=yes, drugs=not anymore, and drugs+BoC= a definite HELL NO! Oh, and the beard thing, it's more of a necessity due to my lack of a jaw and/or chin. Thank you.

There's an emptiness in my life. I've never met a BOC fan in person. I swear I'm the only addict within a 100 mile radius (+/- 12 miles). Then again, I shouldn't be surprised because I'm living in Wisconsin. If it doesn't have to do with deerhunting or cheesemunching, we don't have it. Woe is me!

I wouldn't be surprised if all of this is just a mind-trip. There is no BOC. There is no Twoism fan board. There is no spoon.

the term "hipster" has subsequently appeared

Pretty sure hipster-hate is on its way out. And the term "hipster" itself was first revived around 2000, although I saw it the most from 2005 - 2008 or so. '07 - '08 were the years of big magazine / media stories on "hipsters":

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style ... 94199.html
http://www.adbusters.org/magazine/79/hipster.html

And since I don't know any BoC fans, I have no data from which to infer what they are like.

offtopic:
hipster jokes are kinda shitty and too easy, like jokes about George Bush...
I personally have nothing against music or clothes that would be considered "hipster-ish", I probably fall into that category anyway...what I don't like is the whole elitist hipster attitude, i.e "you can't like this band only I'm aloud to like this band" "their early stuff is so much better" "I liked them before you had heard of them" etc.
bash hipsters for that, not the way they dress!

So are all metallica fans hipsters?

I see this happening as well. One rarely sees emo-hate, for instance.

Being pretentious is like racism, no matter how much you say you aren't, you are. You're either hipster-fag pretentious or scrooge pretentious.

I'm definitely on the scrooge end of the meter, therefore BoC had nothing to do with that as I've been like that the majority of my life.

I can't speak for anyone else though as I don't know any other fans and I can't read sarcasm.

I really don't care. I just love listening to Boards of Canada. More than any other music, as a matter of fact. So if they say that they're releasing new music; Yes, I'm going to get excited.
