The title alone evokes the smooth stylings of the ecclectic singer/songwriter. Who is more of a hipster than Beck? Although the term is often chastised as a bad thing by being 'too cool for school', there really isn't a more befitting term for him. Besides, those who whine really yearn. From a musical standpoint, "Hipster" is pulled straight out of the Beck handbook. The song gets down to the very detail with the opening electronic beeps and roving twang of a guitar. It is clearly reminicent of Beck's critically-acclaimed album, Odelay!, but it also has traces of one of Beck's later works. In Beck's recent mix CD, Guerolito, all of his songs from Guero get remixed and become their own masterpieces. "Hipster" sounds slightly like a Beck song remixed, particularly like "Heaven Hammer". Both are epic and lyrically seem to be speaking to a specific person. “Hipster” by Vancans is clearly the most Beck-esque song of the bunch.
