My feeling is that it's against the hipsterdom culture that was/is present in trendy areas of the NW. If not nationwide. I don't really think it was against the revival bands themselves (since I think everyone can agree that they indeed brought something new) though I wouldn't disagree with it completely since hipsters can be seen nonchalantly occupying these band's dance floors (until they go mainstream of course).
My best reason for this is their line "wheres the fuck you". Behind their irony and their pabst beer, today's hipsters have been defined as a lost generation with no real direction except to use "nostalgia....like a whore". They rummage through their white grandparents clothes and their gen-x parent's music stuff to create an illusion of separateness and rebellion without any of the substance that created their stolen artifacts in the first place. At least, that's what they're defined as.

Anyway, that's my two cents.
