Interesting question, actually. When I was in high school (back in the early-to-mid oughts), I started diversifying my tastes beyond the usual classical (yeah, I was an orchestral geek), and discovered bands like The Decemberists and Bright Eyes and Death Cab for Cutie and Tilly and the Wall...While I can't say I still like everything I liked back then, it's interesting seeing that bands like The Decemberists are really big now (headlining major festivals and such), and that I can find records by the likes of Fleet Foxes and the White Stripes at Wal-Mart. It's proof that I'm definitely NOT a hipster that I feel it's a good thing that music like this seems to be catching on with the more general public--and that, when I'm in the college caf?, they are now always playing music by Andrew Bird, Neutral Milk Hotel, and others that I thought no one would ever have heard of. I think that's a good thing!
