That's me WAAAYYY in the back with the hat on. I was a little weirded by the way people were just struggling to grab at Emily everywhere! It was awesome, nonetheless

Looks like Metric is angering the hipsters. Here's a review from The Mod Club show:

This "Dario" person is some hipster complaining about how the band is no longer underground, but an international rock-star band. I'm not saying he's wrong and that Metric is still underground, but I hate how the Hipster Logic works.

Mainstream Popularity = Loss of Credibility

There is NO exception to this rule. Why is it that one should stop listening to a band just because they broke out of the underground? Why does that always have to be a band thing?

Isn't the fan base, to an extent, a reflection of the artist?

Not always. Nirvana used to hate being associated with a lot of their "new" fanbase when Nevermind got popular because as teenagers they were made fun of and beaten up by jocks, and now all of a sudden, jocks were showing up at their shows and Cobain hated it.

Also, the same can be said for Queens of the Stone Age. Josh (lead singer) continually gets angered by fans in the audience being jerks and makes fun of them.

I don't think a band always has the fan-base it has or wants. It's music, it's just the way it works.
