Blessed are all who fear the LORD,
and walk in his ways!
By the labor of your hands you shall eat.
You will be blessed and prosper.
Your wife like a fruitful vine
in the heart of your house;
your children like shoots of the olive around your table. Ps 128.

It's funny that all the "hipster" music people are listing were heavily promoted by NPR music at the time. Not at all underground or cool, but geared to a college graduate music nerd audience.
Which included me, I ate that stuff up. As a night janitor in rural PA I listened to all the NPR music podcasts to learn new bands. I couldn't go to shows and hated the hipster scene, but still liked the music.
Seeing The Kills get heckled in a south Philly basement after The Devil is Electric, TBIABP and Abe Froman was my "I was there" moment even though I was just a tourist who knew nothing about any of it.
