Is it OK to like -Insert Band-?

Hipsters,
Is it OK for me to like Young the Giant? I bought the album on iTunes after hearing the single Cough Syrup on the radio. I was wondering if it was hip to like this band or if music people don't like them.
Feel free to insert any other band you were wondering about.

Is this like a Mad Libs, where you are just making up those band names?

Obviously, if they have a song on the radio, they are completely unacceptable*. Hang your head in shame.
*This doesn't apply to rap/r&b, which is ok to like, since it is done by black people, who are cool.

Just listen to music you like and don't worry about what other people think. I don't think "hipsters" actually care what music you listen to.

Personally, I think Sad Trombone fell off a little after their Jicama Slaw EP.
Well, I mean, that’s what it is. I doodoo and then listen to Katy Perry.

The singer is good. It's fairly Coldplayish though, but if you're into that...
Is "X the Y" a new trend in band names? I call dibs on Punch the Donkey.

What about Fun? Seems a little overwrought, but very catchy.

It is interesting what some people find pleasing to listen to. I don't find them to be boring at all.

Whatever you listen to is what you listen to, but if anybody thinks Jack White's a good guitarist then they're simply retarded.

lulz. I've given Liars about 17 tries due to Keegs love of them. I like exactly two songs, both are their most popular.

I think they suck too aside from about half of their first album and the last song on DND

That was their first hit and I liked it. Cough Syrup is getting play now and I liked it also so I got the whole CD and I like it too.

St. Walker may be the best song on the album.
