Oh Yeah, Daft Punk actually really sucks. It's just that no one will risk being uncool by admitting it.  :))

I would argue that hating on Daft Punk is the epitome of aging hipster cool.  For reference, compare Pitchfork's review of Discovery back in the hipster heyday(i.e. in the pre- "hipster as a pejorative" early 2000s) vs the current review of Random Access Memories.

I am going to say hipster 5 times in my next post.

I don't hate em, just think that in 5 years I'll be hearing RAM over the pa at walmart:)

Are you working your way back to Beatnik?

Believe it or not, before the hipster term started getting thrown around, my mom actually told me: "you're starting to look bohemian like your beatnik friends"

hipster, hipster, hipster, hipster... and that should make five

Outstanding! Now off to buy a beret to complete the ensemble.

Be a step up from having to look at 70's retro all over the place.

I guess I don't consider Stoner, Doom, and Drone rock. I lump them in with Metal.

So Kyuss are metal then? facepalm

Kyuss is Rock, a different kind of Rock though. 'Stoner' does not quite cover their sound though. 'Desert' comes closer but in short: Kyuss = Kyuss. I am very partial...

Kyuss broke the mould, set it on fire, then pissed on it, drove it out into the middle of the Palm Desert and buried it. :)p1

My genre classification is usually set by the bar for each sub genre. Ie. favorite Stoner is Sleep, favorite Drone is Sunn O)))...etc.

The line between doom and sludge metal and rock is very blurry, much more so than other metal genres, though you could make an argument that some "post" metal could also be classified as rock. Oh, and expecting good music on Billboard charts or the radio is like expecting good music to win at the Grammys. Total waste of time. Some listening suggestions:

Your reasoning is an Association Fallacy...

My favourite Stoner band is Sleep.
Sleep is Stoner/Metal.
Therefore all Stoner bands are Metal.

My favourite animal is a dog
Dogs have four legs
Therefore all cats are dogs.
