Gauntlet Hair

Rippling guitar delay & near hip-hop beats with spaced out vocals makes for an unbelievable combo.

vicemag: I’ve never been clear on who or what makes someone a “hipster” or an “indie kid.” I think it has something to do with wearing certain kinds of hats and having strong, complicated opinions on debates that the average person isn’t even aware of: like the quality of remastering on the reissue of an album made 20 years ago by a band unpopular in their own time. The staff at the ‘zine-like, abrasive, hilarious Chunklet magazine, on the other hand, know all about them, having dedicated several miles of prose over the years to eviscerating them in print, online, and now in a new book, The Indie Cred Test.  The book is what it sounds like–page after page after page of test questions to determine one’s indie cred level. Stuff like, “Did you actually listen to all of Robert Pollard’s post-GBV output before decrying it, or was that not even necessary?” and “Do you wear checkered slip-on Vans?” There are short essays concerning “The Brief History of Cool,” some funny flowcharts, and ads for “The Bank of Indie Cred” that feature fake testimonials from people like Ben Gibbard and Jeff Mangum. It’s almost 200 pages of jokes about drinking, bands, shows, literature, clothes, and everything else that flashes into your mind when you think of indie kids. The book is super packed with yuks: they even bothered to make some jokes in the tiny print of the “Warranty and Disclaimer” bit at the back. Jokes no one will ever notice, let alone read. It’s great because if you don’t like or understand one section of the quiz, you can flip to another random page and see if you like it better. Flipping casually through is probably the preferred way to read, actually, as it can be fucking exhausting to read hundreds of jokey fake questions in one sitting.
