"oh noes bourgeois!"

[muckefuck]

SSC: It always irked me that That One Blog named Vampire Weekend "the whitest band ever", but I was never really able to put my finger on exactly why. Fortunately, Nitsuh Abebe is way smarter than me when it comes to analysing stuff like this. This entry of his on how bourgeois one-upmanship constantly overwhelms the proper aims of music criticism is about as far from "You don't like my favourite band so you suck" whining as you could possibly imagine.
