If loving tame impala makes me a tasteless poser, then I'm proud to add that to the list of stereotypes (right alongside Irish Catholic and White Male) that I fulfill down to a T. As of late (or atleast as of late relative to my out of touchness with the next generation of indie music critics) Tame Impala has become the zenith of a band that people with no real music taste are obsessed with. It seems like any time you see Tame Impala mentioned, it is in the butt of a joke about how some self proclaimed hipster thinks he or she (but let's be honest mostly he) has discovered this genius music that no one truly appreciates or knows about; when in fact, they have clearly made commercial success and have been closing so many music festivals it is almost as if they are being confused for Kyra Sedgwick. It somehow became a joke to lump all fans of Tame Impala into some amalgamation of a pretentious yuppie and the quintessential Chad.
But let me stop mansplaining these atrocities and provide some concrete content that has been perpetuating these falsehoods:yeah my mcdonalds order is super indie😂 it's called the tame impala meal, don't feel bad if you've never ate it💜 it's pretty underground you've probably never ordered it...

How dare these folks? As I searched for an extra tweet for the sake of symmetry, I found myself getting even more enraged by so much of this hate that is being spewed on fellow [insert clever name for tame impala's collective fan base] (thus fulfilling stereotypes A-C in one fowl swoop). It's a gosh darn shame that people feel the need to tell others how bad their music taste is. We should all just let people listen to whatever jams their groovy turkey in peace and passive aggressively down vote their queuesome.com song picks so they feel real-time shame. Heretofore, I'd like to conclude my defense by saying that Tame Impala has always been really, really good, and they will be for the foreseeable future. If you don't like Tame Impala, it's probably because you never knew it's actually just one guy who makes all them crunchy and delicious waves of psychedelia that you ears are munching on. So maybe pull those ear dentures from that fizzling cup of Polident (Only $5.88 on Zonny) that's sitting on your night stand, flip the double birds to BIG social media, break out your bell bottoms, and get to chomping down on some Glimmer.
